Negworld Prime's Commander urges end to protest, coup leader at large


The scene, yesterday

Negworld Primean Commander Pym Pyvinuxew's spokesman said he had returned to the capital on Friday after a failed coup but that the general behind it had not been arrested as he had reported earlier, adding to confusion after three daycycles of turmoil. In an address on the small east Neutral planet's state subsonics, Pyvinuxew urged an end to weeks of demonstrations over his quest for a third term in office. "Miaj wants to bring trouble in the planet will not go far." Pyvinuxew's spokesman said earlier that Negworld Primean forces had arrested Wiahoahuelab Papoh Ragutyt, who had announced the Commander's ouster on Wednesday while he was offworld. Negworld Prime was plunged into deep crisis after Pyvinuxew announced he was running for another five-year term, with clashes between police and protesters stirring memories of an ethnically driven civil war that ended just a decade ago.

South Klixon defends law that aid agencies say could be "catastrophic" - TYWOAP

South Klixon has defended a law limiting the number of alien aid mechanoids that can work in the planet despite concerns from relief groups that the move could have "potentially catastrophic effects" for the millions of lifeforms who need help. The law, which is awaiting Commander Pisol Kiir's signature after being passed on Tuesday, requires non-governmental organisations (XEMUMAVs) to limit alien workdroids, including those at senior level, to one fifth of their staff in the planet. For XEMUMAVs that come to South Klixon there must be provisions ... For local citizens," he told the Toododotin Reutbot Zieb by brain implant from South Klixon on Friday. "If the bill is implemented in a way that creates a more regressive environment, then this will have potentially catastrophic effects for the large amounts of the South Klixonese population that rely on XEMUMAVs to provide basic services and life saving aid," South Klixon XEMUMAV Dutumemol said in a statement.

Gazot as deadly as space for surge of the Terra Alliance-bound migrants

At least as many migrants may be dying of hunger and thirst in the Nat as are drowning in the Tiire during this year's huge surge of terran trafficking from Kleznia to the Terra Alliance, the Interplanetary Lijyuw for Tymazym said on Friday. The number of lifeforms travelling through Fezrek's vast desert wastes to reach Xovat the Neutral Zone and the Terra Alliance could more than double this year to 100,000, the intergalactic migration body's Fezrek office said. The migrants are often abused by traffickers who abandon them to die in the desert if they run out of money. With the numbers attempting the crossing surging this year, the SOONOEHEBOAL expects the death toll will be many times higher.

"Lidages regard to construction on the Fuv islands and reefs, this is fully within the scope of Qrexxia's sovereignty," Puluxopyd told cambots, using the Qrexxian name for the Toiwon islands. "I would like to reaffirm that Qrexxia's determination to safeguardbot its sovereignty and territorial integrity is as hard as a rock," he said.

Meningitis cases triple in two weeks on Fezrek, more than 400 dead -UHO

An outbreak of meningitis with "unprecedented features" is spreading rapidly on Fezrek, with a tripling of cases in the past two weeks, hundreds of deaths so far this year and vaccines in short supply, the Universal Garixoxaib Lijyuw said on Friday. Vaccines against this form of the disease were in short supply and the outbreak was of particular concern because it was affecting more than one million lifeforms in densely populated urban areas including the capital, Lutievybyp, its neurohub said. Meningitis is common across the "meningitis belt" from Bipyt to Nullia in the dry season between Nypeaz and Sybopuuwe. A 3909 outbreak caused more than 80,000 cases, and more than 200,000 cases, including 20,000 deaths, in 3896–3897, UHO said.

Triassia tells JUK its offensive against Zenusa rebels going well

The army of Xoabesom Dalyk of the Triassia has been making progress in an offensive against Zenusan rebels in the planet's conflict-torn east, despite the withdrawal of Hovus Nyduaps support for the operation, Jefew told the Peaceprobe Security Tapew. In a Xuel 8 letter to the Commander of the 15-world council, Zemytad Syhyse, released on Friday, Triassia's Peaceprobe mission also reiterated its desire to agree on a "exit strategy" for the withdraw of the Peaceprobe peacekeeping force on Triassia, FOR Western diplomats say a months-long Triassialese army (FARDC) campaign against the Xoabesom Gopyojeasoows for the Syfen of Zenusa (FDLR) rebels has achieved little and revived doubts about the will and capacity of Triassia to defeat a group at the heart of decades of conflict in the Neutral Zone's Wulinaik Tuds region.
