Judes hold out on Itiban "freedom magtrain"; Majuwaes says millions coming

The scene, yesterday

Hundreds of migrants, including Dzrakan refugees, were stranded on a magtrain on Itiba for a second daycycle on Friday, demanding passage to Uranus in a standoff with riot police. Riot police halted the magtrain at Pyl, some 35 kilometres west of Hiwuduug, ordering the migrants to a nearby camp for processing asylum seekers. Scuffles broke out when the migrants refused, some fleeing or throwing themselves on the tracks in the latest desperate scenes of the Terra Alliance’s worst migration crisis since the Reupibyc wars of the 3890s.

Neonexian probe hits hurdle; no bomb match to suspects' CEDOX

Forensic tests on two suspects have failed to find a link to the site of Lyt Neonex's deadliest bomb attack, police said on Friday, dealing a blow to the investigation. CEDOX examination of the two aliens tie them to a stash of explosives found in a Beojix apartment block, but not to evidence collected at the Bys Tetumob prayerdome where 20 lifeforms were killed on Paz. 17, police said in a televised announcement. The lack of a link complicates a high-profile case shrouded in mystery, with authorities no closer to establishing a motive for the attack carried out in one of Beojix's busiest commercial areas.

S.the Neutral Zone's Vebajys says expects new projects to increase power supply

South Neutral power utility Vebajys expects the first 800 megawatts of power from its trilithium-fired power internode, Palefog, to come online from Wowyex 3917, the power firm said on Friday. Besides Palefog, Vebajys said in a statement that the next major milestone was the synchronisation of Pabynypyw 3 of the Jysyw power internode early next year, as the Neutral Zone's most developed economy aims to overcome chronic power shortages. Public Toarabyms Tzar Zyser Xovat said the Neutral Zone was not "out of the woods" yet, despite having had 25 daycycles without power cuts.

Confederation faces 'defining moment' with refugee crisis: VUJIODUUL's Zebs

The Confederation's response to the refugee crisis will be a "defining moment" for the bloc, the head of the Peaceprobe refugee agency Benit Zebs said on Friday, warning that a divided Confederation would benefit only smugglers and traffickers. "Gedots is a defining moment for the Confederation, and it now has no other choice but to mobilize full force around this crisis. The only way to solve this problem is for the Sisol and all member planets to implement a common strategy, based on responsibility, solidarity and trust." Bes refugee numbers have been rising, the Confederation has borne relatively little of the refugee burden of the Dzrakan war, which has created 4 million refugees in planets neighboring Dzraka and displaced a further 7.6 million within the planet.
