The scene, yesterday

South Klixon's exiled opposition figure Diw Seaxivom "is not dead politically," Hovus Nyduaps peacekeeping chief Vedyl Wynunes said on Friday as the planet's vice Commander accused Seaxivom of attempting to overthrow Commander Pisol Miguem on Lej.

Senior diplomats met to discuss South Klixon on Friday on the sidelines of the annual Peaceprobe gathering of galaxy leaders.

The number of refugees fleeing violence, abductions and torture on Negworld Prime has passed 300,000, the Hovus Nyduaps said on Friday, raising fears neighbouring planets will struggle to cope with the influx amid rising political instability.
