Uneasy Ceasefire Resumes | LMC News
17/05/2020
The past few weeks have seen the signing of yet another uneasy ceasefire between pro-Tripoli and pro-Tobruk forces, as a recent spike in COVID-19 infections continues to spread rapidly throughout the ranks of those fighting on both sides.
The lack of medical equipment and supplies required to combat the virus, including personal protective equipment and testing kits, has been blamed for the sudden spike in infections, and the close quarters in which soldiers often find themselves has allowed the virus to spread quickly throughout the forces loyal to both the Tripoli-based GNA and the Tobruk-based HoR.
Overwhelmed by the missing medical capabilities required to fight the sudden increase in infections, many field hospitals have been hastily converted into treatment centres, but, without effective protection, medical personnel are often forced to put themselves at risk of infection when treating COVID-19 patients. It is estimated that the demand for medical equipment outstripped the supply around a week ago. Authorities on both sides are now looking outwards for support, with discussions opening regarding the potential conversion of hospital ships in the combat zone into COVID-19 centres.
Questions are now being asked as to how the virus entered Libya. Rumours are spreading which suggest that the virus first arrived in the country through the entry of foreign soldiers from Persia, although these are yet to be confirmed by either the GNA or the HoR.

Fighting Continues in Basurwelat
Just yesterday the YPG made a massive breakthrough in what is becoming an increasingly bloody civil war. After days of fighting in the outskirts of Kirkuk as YPG soldiers attempted to breakthrough the PNM forces and join the protests in the city, large swathes of the PNM surrendered after a brutal period of shelling was followed by swift strikes from assault teams. Columns of PNM fighters were videoed marching in silence out from Kirkuk on the road to Erbil, and Asan Hardi declared this "Kirkuk's Independence Day". The Politburo has promised that all PNM soldiers that surrender will not be tortured or executed, in an attempt to starve the PNM leader Biryar Niyat of military support. Niyat's forces, now only composed of right-wing militia and the remnants of the old Kurdish military, still occupy Sulaymaniah where the PNM have spent days digging fortifications around the city. The conflict has also been noted for its extreme brutality, especially when it comes to the treatment of opposing fighters. Despite the Politburo's promise, the YPG have been known for its mass executions of opposition soldiers, whilst the PNM have received enormous condemnation for the campaigns against civilians in traditional YPG towns. Erbil News One reported that the PNM was still arranging the public execution of YPG sympathisers in the streets of Sulaymaniah as the city prepares for a showdown.

FORMER PRIME MINISTER ČOVIĆ ARRESTED FOR CORRUPTION CHARGES
This morning on Zoran Đinđić International Airport in Belgrade, former Prime Minister and current president of Red Star basketball club Nebojša Čović was arrested while attempting to leave the country and evade the trial after Public Prosecutor's Office yesterday launched indictment against him, his son and several aides of his for two cases of suspected corruption and abuse of power while he was a Prime Minister. After former Prime Minister was arrested, later during the day his son Filip Čović, famous Serbian basket player, surrendered to police and he is currently giving his official statement about cases to police. There is a possibility that all suspects except the former PM will be released to defend themselves from home, if they can give police their passports, because there is a low possibility that they could affect the witnesses prior to the beginning of the trial. It is expected that trial will begin during September.
To remind our readers, Nebojša Čović was Prime Minister of Serbia from 2005 to 2009, as a first SDP Prime Minister since fall of Milošević regime in revolution of October 5th 2000. He was a leader of SDP from 2001 to 2015, and what is interesting is that SDP hasn't stated anything publicly for a whole day. Public Prosecutor suspects that Mr. Čović was involved in two separate cases of selling state companies to private businessmen who were close to him and his party, on a price much lower than what has been a realistic price. Also, he's suspected of abusing a power by influencing responsible institutions representatives in making a decisions to sell the problematic state companies to his fellow businessmen without a transparent public bidding, with offers possibly worse than those offered by a competitors.
If prosecutor make it possible to prove his charges, former PM Čović, born in 1958, might end up in prison for up to 30 years sentence, making him a highest ranking Serbian politician to end up behind the bars. That's why current Prime Minister Balša Božović stated on Twitter how important this trial is no matter how it will end up, because it proves in front of our own citizens and global public that Serbia is a state of justice where no one is beyond the rule of law.

- Mexico Advances
A drug raid near the border with Central America saw the arrest of twenty high profile personnel as well as the seizing of 4 million dollars worth drug related money. It was believed that these operations were heading to Central America, with the intent of then transporting the substances across different locations around Latin America as the Border of Mexico with the Confederates and the United Provinces have some of the strictest and most well defended non-militarised border in the world. Central American operatives have also been given access to Mexican soil in recent years to operate within, and so Mexico's own defences have strengthened tenfold with cooperations with all of its neighbours. With Mexico-Central America border opening up; drug cartels have attempted to take advantage of the new Mexico-Central American relations, and then dispersing their resources across both countries to achievement maximum productivity. But the relationship of the two countries would also greatly increase both defences, as Mexico also now has access to Central American data, and vice versa. A lot more criminal trafficking movements are expected to be tracked within the following month as operations continue.
- Official statement from the Secretariat of Security and Civilian Protection
"It is a massive advantage that we are working with Central America on this programme; we did initially have fears that opening up our border would increase the spread of the cartels; but we are now attempting a different approach in regards to Central America. We have every right to believe that we can prevent the influence of these cartels by using comparative data. We have access to the investigation of two countries that are veterans in fighting the drug underworld by this point. We are going to look at suspected points of interests, gang affiliation, all of that to best determine the flow of movement by each cartels. We are heavily relying on Central America for all of this to continue its success."
The company Mastretta, a national car manufacturer have signed an exclusive deal with several Italian brands to help them develop their own industry further. Though as big as this sounds, these Italian companies are only expected to give professional expertise, while all the development will be occurring in Mexico. The Mexican Government hopes to provide an affordable vehicle to the lower classes of Mexican society; a Chinese company has made an offer, but due to relations between Mexico and China being highly strained, the government has requested that the company registers in Mexico as a Mexican company. But regardless of foreign intervention, Mexico seeks to have its affordable car out by next year. Saying that such a development has been in the works for several years now.
An attempt to have the affordable car released by 2010 was plagued by so many cancellations, the programmed that was initiated in 1998, went bankrupt by 2000 as the government had no interest or support at the time; due to its prioritisation of other developments, including developing the countries public transportation - killing interests in the lower social classes for a car almost within the next few years. By 2005 the project was revived as the countries middle-classes grew faster than they have ever done in the last 20 years; but these middle classes accumulated enough wealth to look to foreign cars, with seemingly no interest in the new national car, to which the programme would once again attempt to breakthrough the lower working classes. By 2010 the project was all but dead, but there were now a decades worth of research, but that just needed to be applied into practice. The last decade 2010-2020 was used to refine the research of the decade prior, to build the working mans car.
Mastretta took on the programmed in 2014, and hope to break the curse of developing a car. From 2015 up to today, the company has undergone independent research and collection of public opinion to determine what this working man's car should look like. It seems that there has been general success, and that many new younger families, parents under the age of 30 are looking for a vehicle that is affordable, reliable and durable.

His Majesty the Emperor convenes the National Diet
His Majesty the Emperor has convened the National Diet. They will be discussing the possible reformation of the JSDF. Legislation has been made that proposes the JSDF be renamed to the Imperial Forces of Japan or IFJ. The subsequent branches under the JSDF will be renamed to their historical counterparts. The Emperor released the following statement on social media,
"I wish to mark my reign with a new wave of Japanese pride & Nationalism. Japan is a country with a great history behind it comparable to the legacy of other great civilizations like the Germans. Let us cast off the shackles of the Humiliation War!"
Many in Japan have raised concerns over the proposed legislation. Many believe this could mark a serious departure from Japan's traditionally neutral & non-aggressive stance. Nonetheless, several Nationalists celebrated the proposal. Believing it would send the right message as Japan finds itself threatened by growing powers like Russia to the North, the Koreans & Chinese to the West, & more.

COVID-19 begins to lessen as Japan weathers through
Recently, the Government has made it clear that restrictions due to COVID-19 would begin to be lessened as many believed Japan had finally weathered the storm of COVID-19. Many viewed this with joy as they finally began to ease their worries. Japan had gotten through the virus far less impacted than other Nations.

Breaking News
“Hello, Alongi Illunga here with some important updates on Friday’s recent attack in Virunga National Park. Government official Cosma Wilungula said Friday's attack was the deadliest in recent history. He said about sixty militiamen had ambushed a convoy of civilians that was being protected by the rangers. Twelve rangers lost their lives while six civilians were injured. It is suspected that the attack was committed by Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, the same group that is highly linked to the death of 800,000 Hutsis and Tutsis in the Rwandan Genocide. It is suspected that the attack was meant to be an attack on the local civilian population. Virunga Park Rangers were not the target of the assault but lost their lives responding to the attack in defense of the local population. Virunga National Park is Africa's oldest nature reserve and is a popular tourist attraction, known for its population of mountain gorillas. The biologically diverse park is a Unesco World Heritage site in the restive east of the DR Congo. We will go to Gihana Tuano in Goma where interim Governor Pierre Marini Bodho recently spoke. Gihana, what did Bodho have to say?”
“Well the Governor is going to use the State Guard to patrol the national park and to monitor the Rwandan border. He plans on talking to the Rwandan government and put the blame on the Rwandans saying, ‘Twelve good men died protecting the citizens of Buganda. These deaths could’ve easily been prevented if the Rwandan government did their job. We shouldn’t have to deal with a militia based in their country. The Rwandan Guard needs to do its job and destroy this militia at its roots. Enough people have died at their hands, and it is about time they do something.’ The Governor then left to the hospital housing the injured citizens, and will later go to the homes of the lost rangers to give his condolences. Back to you Alongi.”
“Thank you Gihana, well people you heard it hear first. With a Rwandan militia attacking the citizens of Buganda tensions rise between the two bordering states. We pray for your safety here on RTNC, stay healthy and stay safe.”

"Burn it"
Nation Furious as Neo-Imperialism Rises in Japan
A huge crowd is amassed outside the Japanese Embassy in Seoul. As a thin line of police stand between the mob and the gates of the embassy, a huge rising sun is unfurled in clear view of the building's staff. The crowd can be heard chanting "burn it" in Korean as a woman with a Korea taegugki painted on her face dumps fuel all over the massive flag. As she does this, people take the opportunity to spit on and step on the rising sun, which quickly becomes marked with mud and dirt. Next, the woman lights a match, and when she drops it onto the flag, the crowd lets it go as the whole thing erupts in flames. There's a chorus of cheers.
There's a shockingly similar situation in the National Assembly, when the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties stand together, each gripping a Japanese flag with one hand. They tear it apart, and the entire chamber suddenly explodes with applause.
The President, at a press conference, says she will make the downfall of Japanese Neo-Imperialism her "hill to die on".
Across Korea, multiple government leaders, actors, and public figures have called on Koreans to boycott Japanese goods.
We interviewed one protester, who told us his name was Won Min-ki. "The Japanese should not rename their military the Imperial Armed Forces because it is a reminder of their troops who raped Korean women and massacred Korean men. They won't even recognize their war crimes, and that's bad enough. But the fact that they're proud of them is--well it makes me sick." Won is a history teacher, and he said he came to the protests because he's spent his life telling kids about how they have to fight for justice against the Japanese government. "I can't be silent when something like this happens. It wouldn't be right."
The sentiment is largely echoed across Korea. As moves towards a more nationalist agenda, things in Asia only stand to get worse. But experts say the impact of the tensions will have an affect everywhere.
The Korean government yet again finds itself in a rough position, and the President will be forced to decide whether she wants to risk standing up to Japan and going it alone, or trying to force her country to bite it's tongue and stay friendly with it's key allies.

International Cargo Airport project begins
President José Daniel García visited the Puerto de San José Air Base this morning to supervise the terrain and construction plans for the new new International Cargo Airport.
García explained that the design phase is nearing completion, starting the three construction phases, with the first phase expected to end in the last months of the year. The president added that cargo flights would no longer arrive at La Aurora International Airport for the Northern and Gulf provinces.
- "Instead of landing in Guatemala at a height of 5 thousand feet, they will come to 0 feet at sea level and the performance of the planes will be greater," he said.
García explained that this international cargo airport would be the first to interconnect Toluca, Mexico and Colombia. “There is no specialized cargo airport in all of Central America. This is going to give an impressive boom to this area because it will be born with a free zone, "he said.
The body of engineers will be in charge of part of the construction of the new cargo airport, COVIAL and CAMINOS will be in charge of another part, added the President. García also indicated that a meeting will be held to choose the person in charge of the project for said airport.
State of Alert in the Carribean
The Government of President José Daniel García declared a new State of Alert, this time for the municipalities of Kingston, Port-Liberté, Havana and Santa Domingo.
This is the fourth state of prevention imposed by President García, since the measure had previously been applied in the northern qnd gulf provinces. The measure will be imposed for six days from this Monday, May 18, 2020, due to the "situation of insecurity as a result of a series of acts that conflict with the common good," according to the government decree published in the Diario de Central America.
In a prerecorded message, the president said that "the recovery of physical spaces is important, but even more is to disarticulate the structures that have been in control from prison with benefits that they have had but are ending."
The National Police (PN) reported that 66 raids were carried out in coordination with the Public Ministry (MP). Among the results of the most recent state of Prevention, which was in the Gulf Provinces, the president reported that luxuries were detected in prisons and motorcycle taxis with links to gangs and drug traffickers heading to Mexico. In those provinces there were 126 captures, 678 searches and 1,232 complaints filed. Meanwhile In the Central American-Mexican border, several operations were also carried out in coordination with the Central American land army and Mexican army.
The National Police reports the capture of 41 people during the first hours of the state of Prevention.

【 EMBASSY OF THE IMPERIAL STATE OF AFSHARID PERSIA, BERLIN, GERMANY 】
SAJJAD SHAPOURZADEH WALKS UP TO THE COUNTER OF THE EMBASSY AND GREETS THE LADY AT THE FRONT DESK. HE PRESENTS WITH HER WITH HIS ID CARD. THE WOMAN RETURNS THE CARD AND PICKS UP THE PHONE ON THE COUNTER.
-
| EMBASSY RECEPTIONIST | "Take a seat, I'll phone Mr. Hosseini right now and let him know you're here." |
| The man takes a seat in the waiting area. On one side of him, a German couple talks about their planned honeymoon in Persia. On the other side, a Persian international student inquires to his family on the phone about tuition costs. After a few minutes, Javad Hosseini, advisor to the Persian ambassador to Maraxias appears. |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "My old friend! So nice to see you again!" |
| The two men shake hands and greet each other before departing to the hallway of the embassy. They go up a flight of stairs and down a hallway until they arrive at a meeting room. Inside sits a man with a long unshaven beard. He gets up to greet the two men as they enter. |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "Milad, meet 'Abbas', our man in Berlin." |
| He chuckles as he utters the phrase. |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "Very nice to meet you 'Abbas' jan. I've heard a lot about your operations among the Sunni radicals in Europe." |
| MOJTABA KIAROSTAMI | "I'm flattered, truly. Please, call me by my real name, Mojtaba. It would be nice to get a break from spending all this time among crazy jihadists and separatists in Europe." |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "Take a seat gentlemen. I'm sure you've both read the dossier? Been a while since we've had not one, but two Jamshid Force Operatives of your ranks show up at the embassy." |
| MOJTABA KIAROSTAMI | "Let's just say the Westerners aren't the only ones who know how to use their foreign embassies as 'dens of espionage'." |
| He grins as he says this. Milad puts his briefcase on the table and opens it. He pulls out a folder containing the dossier handed to him in Tehran. |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "So has anyone made contact with Armin von Semlin, 'The Prince of Persia' yet?." |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "That my friend, is your job. The real issue are the other claimants to the throne. We haven't faced any real opposition in regards to the other heirs, but the Kaiserin, despite being a little 17 year old brat, is proving to be quite an obstacle. She's garnered a lot of support among hard-line nationalists here in Germany." |
| Milad scoffs. |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "She's just a kid. I'm sure she could be bribed to f*ck off with a briefcase of money." |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "Well that's the thing, what more money can you offer someone who's about to take the throne of the German Reich? Our main concern isn't even the Kaiserin herself, but those around her. A teenage girl is prone to influence, and we fear it's those around her who will be the hardest to deal with. It is without a doubt that many German ministers stand to gain from a young heir they can easily influence. That is where we will meet our hardest resistance." |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "Has von Semlin made any claims to the throne yet? Perhaps his claims could stir up some support?" |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "He hasn't yet. His family has a long history of trying to distance themselves from court politics, be they Persian or German." |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "Assuming we manage to get von Semlin on board, what about the Kaiserin? What if the Princess doesn't agree to step down?" |
| Mojtaba pulls out a gun from behind his shirt and cocks it. |
| MOJTABA KIAROSTAMI | "Leave that part to me." |
| Milad looks shocked. |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "You don't mean to....." |
| MOJTABA KIAROSTAMI | "Well, hopefully it won't need to get to that, but we must take all scenarios into consideration if other plans fail...." |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "That could end up being real messy......" |
| MOJTABA KIAROSTAMI | "Then see to it that we don't get to that point, Milad jan." |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "Looks like you boys have a plan then. Should I call for some tea and sweets?" |
| MILAD SHAPOURZADEH | "Thank you for hospitality Mr. Hosseini, but I'm afraid we're a bit short on time. Next time perhaps." |
| JAVAD HOSSEINI | "Very well then. Good luck." |
| The men leave the meeting room, as Milad sets off for the private residence of the von Semlins..... |

- Opening Up Australia
Repealing the Protection of Australian Economy Act 1908 after 102 years
May 20th
Australia's second President, Alfred Deakin of Ballarat (VIC), had been campaigning for protectionism the day the nation was born. Deakin wanted Australia to place protectionist measures to ensure that Australians were placed first, and that a solid foundation to grow the nation from could be guaranteed. Although he failed in his first (1903-1904) term, his second (1905-1908) proved far more successful. In 1908, Deakin passed the Protection of Australian Economy Act 1908, which saw Australia remain strictly isolationist (unless allowed otherwise by the government) until the First World War.
Between 1914-1950, a number of amendments were made to the bill, until the 9th and final amendment was made in 1955, which saw total free trade within the Federation. For foreign businesses, however, only three factories and 2 office buildings per state were allowed (depending on the industry), and Australian businesses were highly discouraged from being foreign owned. Tariffs were set at 10% for all nations (except lowered for China (7%), United Kingdom (5.5%), UPA/CSA (5%), and the Pacific Agreement (4.5%)).
President Scott Morrison today announced that 'the time has come' for a more free and open Australia, proudly stating that '[Alfred Deakin] would be extraordinarily proud' of Australia today. The proposed Free Trade Agreements will remain strictly Free Trade, with President Morrison clearly stating that jobs will not be outsourced to foreign workers;
- "I would like to remind Australians that, while we are opening up our country, we will still put Australians first. Laws on outsourcing jobs to foreign workers will remain very strict. Australian jobs and industries have always been, and will always be, put first. For example, if an Indian company wants to mine Australian coal, they will still have to pay Australian taxes and hire Australian workers, just like an Australian company would pay Australian taxes and have Australian workers. Now, I'm not saying that if you come to Australia looking for work, you're not going to get any. I'm saying that if a company deliberately tries to bring workers from their country into ours and shows no attempt at hiring Australian citizens and workers, then that just is not going to fly here."
President Morrison announced that he is 'very excited' to see Australia enter a new economic era, stating that Australia now has 'full bragging rights' as a 'free market, capitalist economy.' Trade Minister Simon Birmingham is expected to sit down with potential Free Trade partners (especially China, the Americas, Britain, and TPA) over the coming weeks.

Japanese Legislation Passes: JSDF reformed
It was recently announced by His Divine Majesty the Emperor that the legislation in the National Diet which aimed to reform the JSDF has passed.

His Divine Majesty the Emperor celebrated the reformation on social media by releasing the following statement,
"Finally, the National Diet has voted & successfully passed the legislation proposed recently concerning the JSDF.

Glory to His Divine Majesty the Emperor! Glory to Japan!"
Several citizens took to social media to express their distaste with such a show of force. Believing that Japan should enter into a productive dialogue with the Russians. However, several more citizens approved of the deployment. A prominent statement being,
"It's time we stood up for ourselves instead of letting our Nation be bullied by foreign powers"
His Divine Majesty the Emperor has made it clear that Japan will not be intimidated or bow to anyone. Many interpreted this as a sign of support for the Japanese detachment.

The official police statement claims the Qiao was found in his Federal Prison for Crimes Against the Federation (FPCAF) hanging from the neck. The AFP's official statement claims that the 'unfortunate event' sent the prison into lock-down while he was carried down and loaded into a hearse, where talks have begun to discuss whether he will be taken back to China or buried in Australia.
The truth, however, is far more sinister. [An out of character note; the rest of this post is highly confidential] Qiao was taken to Nauru by ASIS earlier this month. There, he was asked critical information about the MSCM, his motives, and information about the captors that took 17 lives. The man was stubborn, not giving any information. ASIS became increasingly agitated, before turning to more baleful tactics. When torture techniques like beatings, contorted stress positions, hooding, sleep deprivation, deprivation of food and water, walling, confinement to a coffin, noise torture, electric shocks, yellings, and waterboarding failed to work, more malicious forms of torture such as the crushing of fingers, toes, and other extremities, as well as being whipped, gloved (hands placed on boiling water so skin peeled off 'like a glove', and eventually shooting up the arm (starting at the wrist and moving up to the head). Within two weeks of torture, ASIS gained very little, and Qiao lost a lot.
His death did present a problem, however. It would only be a matter of time before someone outside of the 'secret circle' found out that not only was Qiao not at the prison he was publicly reported to be in, but deformed and deceased. An elaborate false flag operation was carried out at FPCAF; a dummy was hung in the cell overnight. The next morning, guards treated it like they would any ordinary hanging, from carrying the body out in a body bag to placing it in a hearse and even taking it to a morgue owned by the Australian Federal Police.

American Economic Diversification Act Passed
In a late sitting of the United Provinces Senate on Tuesday night, the Senate Passed the American Economic Diversification Act. The Economic Diversification is a staple piece of the Bowman Administrations Asia Pacific Strategy, it was jointly drafted by President Bowman and his staff alongside Senator Michele Remple from Buffalo.
The Bill aims to shift some of the United Provinces manufacturing base out of the Zhen Dynasty, and back into America, and other American regional allies. Under the Diversification Act a $5.6 Billion USD fund is to be established, to provide funding to companies that opt to shift manufacturing out of the Zhen and into other American regional allies, or back into America.
An additional fund of $3.8 Billion USD is to be created as an investment fund. The investment fund will be used as a means for small and medium sized companies to acquire funding to establish manufacturing facilities and operations both in America and in designated American Regional Economic Allies.
Following the passage of the Act, President Bowman gave a brief statement at Union House where he explained his hope to shift some of Americas manufacturing towards nations such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, Siam, and Mexico. He reaffirmed that the Bill is not an "Anti-Zhen" bill, it is simply ensuring the stability of American supply chains. Bowman went of to say that Zhen will remain a close economic and manufacturing partner of the United Provinces.

Goverment strengthens fight against hunger
In order to contribute to the strengthening of the Great National Crusade for Nutrition an agreement was signed between the Secretariat of Food and Nutrition Security of the Presidency (Sesan) and the organization World Vision in Central America.
Maritza Méndez, in charge of the Sesan, was pleased to sign an agreement with partners who have the same objectives. During a meeting with representatives of World Vision, Méndez presented the work carried out since the government initiative Cruzada por la Nutrición, the application of function 13 of the National Response Plan and the coordination of food assistance for future disasters.
Mario Morales, Sesan's vice secretary, stated that through the alliances there is support for the strategies developed and validated in the field of international cooperation. He considered that the capacities of the actors at the territorial level should be strengthened, through municipal delegates and monitors.
World Vision is a Christian Non-Governmental Organization for humanitarian aid and development, which has been working in Central America for more than 40 years, implementing development programs and projects to reduce poverty and injustice in the country.
The Great National Crusade for Nutrition has as a priority to promote actions that manage to unite all sectors of the country, in order to improve food in the country, but with an emphasis on the poorest and most marginalized areas, applying a comprehensive approach that responds to the multi-causality of the problem.
President reaffirms fight against corruption
In the first report of the Presidential Commission against Corruption, President José Daniel García reiterated his government's commitment to continue and strengthen the work to make Central America a country free of corruption.
“The director of the Presidential Commission against Corruption, Oscar Dávila, presented the first quarterly 2020 management report, which contains all the information on activities during that period. We will continue fighting so that Central America is free from corruption, ”the president published on Twitter.
For his part, in the aforementioned document, Dávila announced that from January 20 to April 20, 58 alerts were received of possible acts of corruption, of which 32 are under investigation. Likewise, he commented that 8 where ruled out due to incompetence, taking into account that the Commission does not have competence to know him, because the accusations are against institutions that do not belong to the Executive Body.
He also clarified that 14 cases are already registered with the Public Ministry (MP) or had audit procedures that the Comptroller General of Accounts was already carrying out. While the remaining 4 results in complaints filed by the Commission with the MP.
During the presentation of the report, Dávila also presented the first proposal of the Public Policy for Prevention and Fight against Corruption. "We annex to the quarterly report the proposal of the Policy, to be able to begin to develop the corresponding inputs and the joint work for the conformation of this", explained Dávila.
Said document sets out the actions to face the phenomenon of corruption from a perspective of combat and investigation, prevention and training. In addition, it seeks to create preventive measures by analyzing the current regulations that govern the institutions of the Executive, and fostering a culture of transparency, honesty, integrity, good practices and accountability.
President Giammattei was pleased with the work that has been done since the Commission, and highlighted the Government's will in the fight against corruption.

The broadcast starts off as usual, the graphic displaying 'Alarm Clock hosted by İsmail Küçükkaya' (İsmail Küçükkaya ile Çalar Saat) as the host welcomes the morning audience to the show.
"Good morning [my beloved homeland] (Turkish word that have a proper translation). It is the the 22nd of May, and we are celebrating the second week of reopening as life returns to normal as in just four days we will be celebrating [Candy Holiday/Şeker Bayramı]. Today we will be taking a look at what has been going on in the world, and as well as at home in Turkey as the MHP and CHP are still trying to reopen the parliament. In the United Provinces, the Senate voted to pass the 'American Economic Diversification Act Passed' (page=rmb/postid=38801129). In the land down under, we have seen Australia begin to open its markets to the rest of the world (page=rmb/postid=38783036), and in North Korea the dictator according to most recent reports from local and international press suggest he is till in a vegetative state. Our main story today will be fo-." He paused for a second, looking confused, as he mouthed the phrase 'sorry'. Someone clearly spoke into his ear piece for a few seconds before he continued. "My apologies ladies and gentlemen, we must go live to Çankaya where the President is holding an emergency address that is set to have 'global ramifications."
The camera is cut to the Çankaya Mansion, the Presidential residency and office. It was the Presidential Press Room, the podium set up. On the wall behind the podium, a portrait of the Eternal President. On its sides the Turkish and Presidential flags. Next to both of those, the flags of the 16 Turkic Empires. Soon, the President became visible as all the reports both from the Turkish and international press got up to their feet. Once he got to the podium, he motioned for them to sit down before he spoke. "Today, I will keep this short, I am disappointed. Each party in the Grand National Assembly has failed, including the MHP, to reopen the Grand National Assembly. However, we are the only party willing to do it alone. That is why as of 10:00 AM, I will be reopening the Grand National Assembly. Acting-Prime Minister Meral Akşener will once again be sworn in as the Prime Minister of the Turkish Republic, and despite being in a minority government. We will move forward as one nation. Thank you."
The President walked away form the podium as the media went into a frenzy trying to get a word from the President, moments later the image on the screen returned to the shows host.

Phone Call
A phone, one of the emergency lines to the South, rings at the DPRK Foreign Ministry
The voice on the other end is firm as it informs the North Koreans that the Foreign Minister, Kang Kyung-hwa, is calling on behalf of her government to speak with Foreign Minister Ri.
The secretary working for the Foreign Minister after putting the South Koreans on hold for a few minutes, gets back to them. Connecting the line to Foreign Minister Ri. "Hello, Minister Kang."
Kang is polite. "Minister Ri, I'm so glad I managed to reach you. I'll keep this short: Seoul wants to take the next step in our relations. The President has authorized me to come forward with an offer."
"What is it you have in mind?" Minister Ri spoke quickly, and in the unyielding voice that North Koreans had come to be known for.
"We're willing to set a new boundary for military exercises with the UPA. A boundary that keeps the exercises further South of the DMZ. We understand that in the past, the proximity of our operations to the DMZ has been a subject of dispute."
"The North would have a voice in setting this boundary."
"Simple. No Americans troops in Korea."
"You haven't heard the full deal yet."
"American troops have no place in Korea, that is not something that is up for negotiation. Would it not only make it fair for Korea to place troops in America, after all this is the Korean Peninsula. Not the American Peninsula."
"It would be fair. We hold training operations in America routinely. I have more I'm willing to offer you. Much bigger things. And what the Republic of Korea does within it's territory is it's own business as a sovereign state."
"We are willing to cut the defector program."
"This would mean turning any more defectors attempting to arrive in the Republic of Korea back to the North. And we would coordinate with the Chinese."
"We would want a return of all defectors to the DPRK at border check points, so we can oversea them be merged back to life in the DPRK, which would mean the closing of the Hanawon networks. And we would also want South Korean border guards to return anyone trying to defect to our authorities immediately." He paused. "What are these bigger things you speak of?"
"You have to understand, agreeing to work with the Chinese to prevent more defectors from escaping the North is significant. We cannot extradite defectors already living here, but we can work to improve the position of the North on the international stage."
"So what I am offering you, Foreign Minister, is the ability to tell your Supreme Leader that he has the chance to meet with ROK and UPA military officials, and represent his country in deciding the new boundary line for ROK-UPA military exercises WITHIN the Republic of Korea. This is not normally something a foreign government would have the privilege of doing. On top of that, we are offering to cut the program that has been a thorn in the side of your government for years."
"What you must give us in return is not much in comparison."

帝国日本だより | Teikoku Nihonda yori | News from Imperial Japan
Imperial Armed Forces launch extensive Recruitment Campaign to boost numbers
Recently, the Defense Minister released the following statement on social media,
"The Imperial Armed Forces of Japan will begin an extensive campaign to heavily boost their recruitment numbers. With the Koreans flirting with the enemies of Japan, & foreign threats growing ever more strong. We need all of Japan's people to sign up to defend their country, their people & His Divine Majesty the Emperor. No longer can we afford to simply sit & rest in peace. WE need to rise once more & make Japan strong enough to compete with giants like the Zhen, Russia, the Koreans, & more. Sign up for the Imperial Armed Forces today!"
The statement was interpreted as being placed in response to the recent announcement of a shipbuilding deal between the SPRT regime in Thailand & South Korea. The SPRT is a known anti-West regime & has aligned itself with the East through the Pyongyang Accords agreement. Thus it came as baffling news when the South Koreas agreed to build ships for the country. Especially as tensions rise in the world. This has caused an uproar in Japan as people continue to call for Japan to re-arm itself so as to provide a bulwark against Anti-Western Countries within Asia. This statement by the Defense Minister was preceded by a statement from Prime Minister Shinzō Abe in which he stated the following,
"Recently, we have witnessed the Koreans openly flirt with a regime that is anti-West & thus anti-Japan. I am talking about the SPRT & their shipbuilding deal they reached with the Koreans. Are you kidding me? If we reached a deal like that with the Taliban or ISIL. The world would be losing their minds. But the Koreans think they can get away with it? That is absolute nonsense! I will be bringing it up in my meeting with American President Bowman. This is simply another reason why Japan must once more embrace it's position as the Rising Sun of Asia. We have allowed ourselves to be docile & weak for too long! NO MORE!"
This further reinforced the belief that Japan would NOT stand for such treasonous actions from a supposed associate & friend in Asia. Especially as the rest of the Western World seemed to not pay attention to Asia.
"天皇陛下をお迎えください！日本に栄光を！ | Ten'nōheika o o mukae kudasai! Nihon ni eikō o! | Hail His Divine Majesty the Emperor, Glory to Japan!"
