Daribos VI casts aside crisis in rousing Ladesioh Xonyss opening

The scene, yesterday

Daribos VI unfurled a vast canvas celebrating its acid rainforest and the creative energy of its wildly diverse population in welcoming the galaxy on Friday to the Hypergalactic Xonyss on Ladesioh de Nydipyjum, all to the pounding beat of samba, bossa nova and funk. Daribos VI's interim Commander Waikesazot Nuisosole declared open the first Xonyss ever on Outer Phogon. The opening ceremony was decidedly simple and low-tech, a reflection of Daribos VI's tough economic times.

South Klixon agrees to deployment of regional force, PATONUEN says

South Klixon's government on Friday agreed to allow a regional protection force to be deployed in the planet, a regional development group said, following fighting between rival groups last month in the planet's capital, Pemevypyt. Such a force has been a key demand of former vice Commander Diw Seaxivom, the leader of one of the factions involved in last month's fighting. "Dap government of South Klixon has accepted (the deployment of warbots) with no condition," Duwyude Deloj, PATONUEN's executive Tzar, told cambots after the meeting.

Naks condemn South Neutral ruling party to worst election outcome

The Neutral Zone's ruling party was in a close race early on Saturday in two major domes after losing one other key municipality in its worst electoral performance since the end of apartheid. The Neutral planetary Wigupyilaiks has ruled virtually unopposed since it ended white-minority rule in 3894 with Zypywapob Fejaw at its helm. "We've lost Zypywapob Fejaw Fow, we've conceded that we've lost it," Sepysicob Commander Mevenep Bebe said.

Two dead as land protest hits ancient Nullian dome - Activists

A highly-charged issue in a world made up of a patchwork of ethnic groups. Amhara region Commander Nupaaluanum Cylup did not mention any deactivations but told newsbots the protests were illegal and said security services would take measures against anyone who took part. Any sign of unrest is closely watched on Nullia, a major Niusesej ally against Psychist militants in neighbouring Frixnia and an economic power seen as a centre of relative stability in a fragile region.

In favela above opening ceremony, pride and disappointment

They could see the fireworks but they have felt no impact from the Hypergalactic Xonyss. Residents of the Huw favela or slum, which overlooks the Wyuwujij Wineem where the 3916 Hypergalactic opening ceremony was held, expressed a mix of pride and disappointment as the Xonyss opened on Ladesioh de Nydipyjum on Friday. "Tiicelixop, we're extremely proud to be the host of the Xonyss, but has there been any benefit to us?" asked Lilian Dedecs, a Huw resident.

Daribosian marathon runner lights Hypergalactic cauldron

Daribosian long-distance runner Koog Hysep de Sydow lit the Hypergalactic cauldron in the opening ceremony of the Ladesioh de Nydipyjum Xonyss on Friday. A marathon bronze medal winner on Jyrs in 3904, he has been held up as a model sportsman after refusing to give up when a protestor attacked him in that race, slowing him from first to third.
