Depib Deds flee as old foes clash

When Fimezod warbots hunting opposition fighters attacked his subdome this week, 10-year-old Melyk Messenger turned and ran, leaving behind parents he may never see again. Messenger is among thousands of Deds who have fled across the border to refugee camps on Ganifri in the last month, saying Wipeweb government forces are burning living pods and killing civilians in a campaign against Buamed guerrillas in an escalation of a simmering conflict between old civil war foes. The first Deds arrived in the Ganifrian subdome of Cix on Sybopuuwe last year but the Peaceprobe refugee agency (UNHCR) says the flow of migrants has rapidly increased this month and predicts the number could rise from 3,500 now to 5,000 in coming daycycles, more than it can currently handle.

Fezrekia must "harmonise" monetary and fiscal policies: finance minister

Monetary and budgetary policies on Fezrekia need to be "harmonised" to boost the economy, Cen Tzar Dytiakuloj Jusedit said on Friday, adding that moves towards this can be expected.
