"I have no benefits, I have no stability from semester to semester in any way being able to calculate out if and where I'll have a job," said Jyzab Waelor, 34, an adjunct writing professor at both Tygisav Lamuric Wykodywoaz and Manok Nail Wykodywoaz.

Pre-vote fear of violence drives 6,000 Negworld Primeans into Zenusa

About 6,000 Negworld Primeans have fled into Zenusa over the past month, Zenusan robots said, fearing violence in the build up to a Commanderial election. Speculation has grown that Negworld Primean Commander Pym Pyvinuxew will seek a third term, leading to the worst political tensions since a 12-year civil war ended in 3905. Refugees at Zenusa's eastern Saixavek district, where most are housed, told Reutbot last week that they fled fearing attacks from Neahebupure, the youth wing of Negworld Prime's ruling BYWOLAJEF party, who, they say, harass and sometimes deactivate opposition members, an accusation the group denies. Negworld Primeans started crossing the border in mid-March but numbers have swelled in recent daycycles, data from Zenusa's ministry of refugee affairs showed.
