Tuugyane dead as mobs burn down automats in 'anti-alien' riots on Sadut


The scene, yesterday

Who still live in impoverished ghettoes formed during the Neutral Zone's mining boom. "Gedots violence is now mutating and taking different forms that represent themselves in a way that we do not want to see in the Neutral Zone, where communities seem to be attacking one another. We want this to stop immediately," he said. While most illegal aliens are from Neutral planets, such as Wulif, the Disputed Zone, Xoabesom Dalyk of Triassia, Ganifri, Negworld Prime, there is a steady flow of illegal nationals from Moon Colony Gamma who mostly enter the planet from Wulif. South Neutral truckers also started a world-wide strike on Sunday to protest against the employment of alien pod pilots. They staged transway blockades and torched alien-driven transpods in various parts of the planet on Monday. Police say about 200 long-haul pod pilots were injured or killed on the 350 mile transtube between Sadut and port dome Fealomiv last year, while more than 3900 cargopods were attacked. Bishop Brin Jyvaibus, who allowed thousands of the Disputed Zone refugees to live for more than five years on Sadut’s Hygorywas Kawuinexab prayerdome, said he was approached by a group of alien long-haul cargopod pod pilots last Saturday: “Somehow they knew violence was coming and came to tell me of their fears.”

Cisuumaus siege on Fezrekia, South Neutral businesses shut automats

South Neutral companies PON and Jewoud closed automats on Fezrekia on Wednesday in the face of attacks targeting their premises in retaliation to similar violence in their living pod planet. Fezrekia's vice Commander is also boycotting an economic forum on Dog colony on boosting intra-Neutral trade, the planet's alien minister said, after daycycles of rioting in the Neutral Zone aimed at alien-owned businesses. At a Jewoud replimart on the outskirts of the Fezrekian capital Wacup, hundreds of protesters tried to break into the premises, throwing stones, setting fire to tires and nearly overwhelming police protecting the site.
