Port Investment
Minister Fatema Yousef has sent a gift basket of Dhanian sweets and goodies to the executive boards of the Chinese companies that have invested in the future of Dhanian ports. A statement from the Minister of Infrastructure on the governments opinion of foreign investment and the somewhat controversial step of The Republic's recent membership in the Asian Union to the Persian Free Radio,"In the aftermath of a civil war that I have, as well as many of you, have fought in, it is through the help of foreign actors to realize the dream that Allah is leading us towards. A cooperative organization like the Asian Union is a goal we fought for happening in front of us. How can we be apart from something we wished to accomplish? We still bear the responsibility of being the only Arab member nation in the Asian Union, so we must do our upmost to represent cooperation between our new found allies. We are not the only muslim nation to be a member. We are not the only nation in the Asian continent to join. We are the only Arabs. May we continue towards progress for a more united global peoples. A united future."
The investment from Chinese companies have led to the creation of many Dhanian jobs in construction and administration of Dhan's largest port.

First Phase of Gypto Pharma City inaugurated today
April 10, Cairo - Interim President Ahmed Shawqi inaugurated the pharmaceutical city earlier this morning as Egypt looks to become a regional hub for medicine manufacturing. The first phase of the city, which covers an area of around 120,000 square meters, aims to create a system of high quality medicine manufacturing and meeting world standards, while creating jobs for the young, tech literate workforce of Egypt.
The new pharmaceutical city will work on manufacturing medicine for a wide range of diseases including hypertension, cardiovascular, kidney and brain diseases, neurological disorders, and vitamins. The manufacturing will be done across 160 lines that manufactures over 150 types of drugs, with the capacity to produce of 150 million packages of medicines per year. Gypto Pharma City has been developed with the very latest technology, including state-of-the-art automation and self-cleaning devices. All the facilities in the city will meet the highest standards.
The pharmaceutical city will produce drug types with special properties that the country has never manufactured before. The city will work with international partners that have huge expertise in the field to localize new technologies in medical production. The industry is expected to flourish soon and venture into producing pharmaceutical raw material within a few years.
"In 2019, we imported about 20% of all the medication consumed in Egypt. This costed the state somewhere around 47 million pounds. This new city, will help us reduce our import bill and will allow us to offer medication at a subsidized price to the various medical establishments around Egypt. The Egyptian citizen will be able to access the highest quality medicine, produced here in Egypt, for only a small price that he wouldn't otherwise." Said Shawqi as he inaugurated the city

Department of Housing reins in housing prices
SHUNTIAN — The Department of Housing has ordered the leaders of multiple cities to rein in their overheated residential property markets in a move to cool down the housing market to make housing more affordable for the masses.
The Minister of Housing summoned top officials from the cities of Nantung, Shuntian, Kum-sok City, and Shencheng, and instructed them to to roll out cooling measures where needed to put home price under control and crack down on speculation to ensure a healthy market. Currently, a variety of policies, such as the Ministry of Agriculture's Great Vanguard Movement, the conversions of old coal-fired plants into public housing under Project 001, the provision of allowances to families with children, the construction of 1.1 million public housing units, and the Modular Social Housing Project have all moved to increase the supply of housing units to the public and driven down residential property prices by 4.8% across the board. However, the consistent demand by the people and the growing unsustainability of housing prices - especially in first-rate cities across the FEUSSR - has pushed the Department of Housing to find a more permanent solution.
To cool the residential market, the Department of Housing has introduced the Additional Property Stamp Duty (APSD), a federal tax that requires the FEUSSR's citizens, permanent residents, corporate entities, and foreign entities buying their second and subsequent properties to pay a stamp duty. This stamp duty is valued at 7% for an individual's second purchase of property within the nation, and increases in increments of 4% for each subsequent property purchased. The APSD cannot be paid for in installments, nor can it be paid for in loans, ensuring that prospective property buyers must have enough to cover the full amount, will not go into debt, and are fully aware of the high cost of such a financial undertaking.
The Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) aims to cool the market by curbing the act of flipping property for profit. If left unmanaged, widespread property flipping could inflate property demand and prices, potentially contributing to a bubble. The SSD is paid by the property seller when one sells a property within three years of owning it, based on the current market price of a property upon a transaction. The SSD is charged at 12% for properties held within a year, 13% for properties held between 1-2 years, 15% for properties held between 2-3 years, and 17% for properties held between 3-4 years. Property acquisition in the case of a divorce or inheritance will be taxed at a lower rate, with rates of 9%, 10%, 12%, and 14% respectively.

The Caliphate launches $1.3 trillion private sector investment push
Dubai | 11 April : The Sultan of Dubayy of the Mashriq Caliphate has said oil firm MARCO and petrochemical firm MABIC will lead investments of $1.3 trillion by the country’s private sector under an economic diversification programme.
The move, announced on Saturday, aims to mobilise the Arab state’s private sector to help wean the economy off its reliance on oil exports, which still account for more than half the state’s income, and develop new sectors to help create jobs for millions of Mashriqis.
The programme is part of $3.2 trillion worth of investments planned, Sultan of Dubai said in televised remarks. That also includes $800bn from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and $1.1 trillion under a new Mashriq investment strategy, of which some $533bn would be foreign investment.
The total amount would rise to $7.2 trillion with government spending and domestic consumption.
“The new Shareek (Partner) programme will help the private sector create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and will boost the contribution of the private sector to [gross domestic product] by up to 65 percent by the completion of 5 years,” the Sultan has said said.
The Sultan said the government has asked the biggest participating firms to lower their dividends to raise capital spending.
“That will lead to growth of the company so stakeholders will own more money. In exchange, the Mashriq government will help them with regulations, more subsidies and other incentives.” The prince said dividends for those owning shares in MARCO, which listed on the local bourse in 2019, would remain stable.
Finance Minister Mohammed al-Bakhran told the Al-Arabiya news agency that 24 companies, most of them being publicly listed firms, would invest $533bn by 2025 and another $800bn by 2030. PIF is a shareholder in most of them, he added.

MNP-NAD seize $4.6 billion USP in dirty money
NANHWEI — MNP-NAD officers seized $4.6 billion USP in dirty money in a recent bust against known criminal groups, stemming from a longstanding campaign to investigate and cleanse the FEUSSR of organised criminal activities.
The bust involved 9 coordinated raids into various locations in the Nanhwei planned city, 38 people arrests, and a massive $4.6 billion USP haul through laundered money and illicit criminal proceeds from overseas. Meanwhile, local people's courts ordered the freezing of some $35 million USP in assets.
The $4.6 billion was stored in the form of properties, including 6 tracts of greyfield land and 18 storage lockers. Inside the lockers were car components, pieces of art, bullion, and sports equipment, along with physical cash bills. 14 luxury cars were impounded in a nearby garage, as were 6 yachts and a private helicopter.
A local MNP-NAD spokesperson said that transnational rackets were altering their money-laundering activities in response to the MNP-NAD's intense campaign. Besides from using offshore companies and shell companies to funnel ill-gotten gains out of the FEUSSR, criminals are now making use of money changers to launder large sums of cash through layers of transfers involving stocks, foreign currencies, and other commodities. This has led to the opening of over 60 MNP-NAD investigations into various vendors, both physical and digital, for making over 8,000 suspicious financial transactions involving millions over the last year alone.
Other tricks involve the stashing of cash inside imported materials, such as electric water heaters or food parcels. According to a deputy director for the MNP-NAD's Nanhwei branch, the sudden diversification in smuggling tactics is a boon for the MNP-NAD, as it indicates that "criminal groups are growing desperate". To better combat money-laundering activities, the MNP-NAD will increase its manpower for its financial investigation group by 60 extra investigators, and double the size of its forensic auditing team. The new resources enabled the MNP-NAD to look into the financial aspects of crimes detected by other agencies to see if a bigger syndicate was involved.

Anti-Trade Union Act Extended / พระราชบัญญัติต่อต้านสหภาพแรงงานขยายออกไป
The ATUA, known by its full name: Anti-Trade Union Act, was passed by the United Assembly of the Confederation back in 2001 under Chairman Krom-Luang I. This act prevents the establishment of trade unions in the Confederation. The act was set to expire this year and was to be brought to the United Assembly of the Confederation once more to decided whether the ban on trade unions should stay or if the ban should be modified or lifted. With a motion to extend being accepted, and with 320 FOR and 223 AGAINST, the ATUA has been extended for another twenty years. The only thing that would make this act nullified and voided would be an executive action from the Chairman of the Confederation. Chairman Khan I signed off on the extension, this meaning that the chance for an executive action against the act is slim to none.

SANTORINI ISLAND, HELLENIC LEAGUE
The next day, Prince Dmitri spent much of the morning out on his hotel rooms private balcony, taking in the beautiful surroundings as he also engaged in a few phone calls with a number of business associates. His mind would often drift back to thinking about the previous night with Theodora, making him eager to meet her again. As he sat for lunch, his phone beeps. Its a message from Theodora asking to meet up at a restaurant on the island at 6pm. Dmitri, with a smile on his face responds and confirms he will be there.
At 5:50pm, Prince Dmitri had arrived at the restaurant deliberately early, as for him it is considered bad manners to leave a lady waiting. He was dressed in smart-casual attire consisting of tan trousers, a white shirt and a blue jacket. A few minutes after he arrived, Theodora shows up. Dmitri stands and greets Theodora by taking her hand and kissing it. "Theodora you look simply stunning this evening." Dmitri shows Theodora to their table and they then order their food.
As they wait Dmitri says: "I want to thank you for treating me to such a fun evening last night. I won't hide the fact it has been a while since I have spent some relaxed quality time with a beautiful lady like yourself. It got me thinking how much I have neglected that side of my life while I focused on other things like my career. Now that I am 30, and if I can say so being quite successful, maybe I should focus on other things in life a little bit more. So thank you for enlightning me."
The couple tucked into their dinners, as well an enjoyed some fine wine. They exchanged pleasantries for the rest of evening, the bond between them growing stronger. As they finished their meals, Dmitri leaned forward. "Theodora, this evening has been simply wonderful. I would hate for it to end so soon, so perhaps you would like to return to my hotel room for a more private drink?"
Theodora agrees and the couple get into a taxi which takes them back to the hotel. They get back just in time to watch the sunset from the balcony. Dmitri pours Theodora a whiskey, while pouring himself a vodka. He sits with her looking out at the beautiful sunset. "Theodora, it pains me to say that this will be my last night here in Santorini. I must fly back to Vyborg in the morning and resume my duties. While I love my homeland, I can't help but feel there will be something missing once I return."
Prince Dmitri turns and looks into Theodoras eyes as he holds her hand. "What I am about to ask you sounds crazy, and it probably is. After all we have only been with eachother for two days. But Theodora you have had such an effect on me, the thought of saying goodbye so soon is simply unbearable. Theodora, I want you to come to Vyborg with me, tomorrow. I know its a crazy chance, but I feel this will be a chance worth taking. What do you think?..."

The Prime Minister sat on her desk, curious how to proceed with this strange situation. Regardless of how the situation could unfold, it would be a lot better to discuss it with the Arabian Caliph. The relation between Infiny and the Caliphate were newborn, and the difference between the two nations would make the situation inherently fragile. A diplomatic incident over the Islamic regime in Yemen was the last thing she wanted, nor needed. She took up the phone, and called the Caliph of The mashriq khilafat.
"Your Highness, it is an honor to be speaking to you. I hope you will forgive me for not spending too much time on a lengthy formal introduction, because the matter in Yemen that we have to discuss is grave. I am certain you are aware that the former president, Mr. Al-Harazi, has appealed to asylum in Infiny. As of now, we have assured him a temporary location to stay, where he is safe until further consideration. Before we proceed with his request of asylum, I would like to discuss the matter with you. I am certain the violence in Yemen is causing issues in the Caliphate, as indicated by the situation at the border. Tell me - what is your view on the situation? |"

As Maratha looks to expand its industrial output the Union Government decided to incentivize the expansion of the shipbuilding industry in the country. To this end, companies will get many benefits to encourage the construction of new shipyards along the coasts of Maratha. As a very large nation the country is uniquely positioned to become one of the largest shipbuilders in the world and certainly the largest in the Indian Ocean.
Shipbuilding companies will receive a 15% tax cut on any tax obligations to the state for the next 10 years. These companies can push this discount to 50% if they divert at least 50% of their net income (EBITDA) towards capital investments. These capital investments should focus on the modernization of existing shipyards, the expansion and the construction of new ones. The companies can push the discount to 75% if at least 75% of their net income is diverted to the same end. Each year, this number will reset, encouraging companies to continue their capital expenditures year after year instead of having just a one-time investment.
The Maratha Government invites the allies in the ICC and other commercial partners across the world to invest in Maratha. The tax incentive will also apply to foreign shipbuilding companies that open and/or expand operations in the country.

New research report states Nanomicelles solely made of Macromolecules could help treat Pancreatic Tumor
A recent paper report put forward by Dr. William Barker at Augusta University in Georgia, has proposed a new method for treating pancreatic tumor that involves using nanomicelles entirely made of macromolecules. Barker, working with other researchers from Texas and an international team in California reported that in eukaryotic organisms, host dense peptides (HDPs) form a part of their innate immunity. It supports the host in defending against attacks by microbes by disrupting the integrity of the cellular membrane.
Taking a cue from HDPs, the researchers designed membrane-disruptive macromolecules using the two most common structural characteristics (cationic and amphipathic) of HDPs to achieve similar membrane-disrupting function to enable efficient removal of drug-resistant cancer cells. Repeated treatment delays the onset of drug resistance, indicating the potential for overcoming the problem of cancer resistance.
Despite these benefits, membrane-disruptive macromolecules often fail to differentiate between normal and cancerous cells. It is highly difficult to find ways to make membrane-disruptive macromolecules selectively active to cancerous cells and not normal cells.
As part of this study, the team employed an acid-sensitive, membrane-disruptive micelle, called M-14K, as the model for such nanoparticles. This long-circulating nanoparticle exhibited acid-activated cytotoxicity indiscriminately to both fibroblast and cancerous cells, which is achieved by acid-activatable disruption of the integrity of the cellular membrane.
The capability of such nanoparticles to intrude into the stromal barrier and remove the sheltered cancer cells was confirmed both in vivo using mouse models bearing BxPC-3 tumors and in vitro using three-dimensional (3D) cell spheroids. Most significantly, the researchers performed animal experiments and identified considerable inhibition of the expression of extracellular matrix components, conversion of the tumor tissue into a less dense structure, and remodeling of the stroma, without fostering tumor metastasis.
Removal of cancerous cells and remodeling of stroma can be simultaneously achieved by using acid-responsive nanoparticles entirely made of membrane-disruptive macromolecules. This method could pave a new way for developing efficacious drugs that can suppress the growth and metastasis of the pancreatic tumor. Dense stromal barriers that shelter cancerous cells mainly make pancreatic tumors difficult to cure. Here, the penetration of drugs is impaired. The penetration of therapeutics is boosted by using an adjuvant before using gemcitabine for stroma remodeling. However, this extensively investigated approach might increase the risk of tumor metastasis and the resistance of tumor cells to drugs. The researchers will conduct more test into the idea before they release more data in regards future trials.

Internal Security Act signed into law
KUM CITY — The Internal Security Act was signed into law by the Executive Committee of the Supreme Soviet today, while simultaneously ending the state of emergency that has followed the passing of the Supreme Decree. The Constitution of the FEUSSR has been formally restored, and People's Media Law will be repudiated to end the People's Media Agency's monopoly on all forms of mass media.
The The Internal Security Act (ISA) of the FEUSSR is a statute that grants the executive power to enforce preventive detention, prevent subversion, suppress organized violence against persons and property, and do other things incidental to the internal security of FEUSSR. It was authorised and signed unanimously by the Executive Committee.
The ISA empowers the Minister of Investigations to take action against unauthorised political or paramilitary organizations and associations. It is a criminal offence to be a member or adherent of any association of persons who are organized, trained or equipped to enable them to be employed in usurping the functions of the MOI, MNP, or of the PDF, or for the purpose of enabling them to be employed for the use or display of physical force in promoting any political or other objective. It is a crime for a person to be present at or to attend any meeting or assembly organized for the participants to train or drill themselves or to be trained or drilled in the use of arms, or for the purpose of practising military exercises, movements, or evolutions. It is also a crime to train or drill other people in these manners or to take part in the control or management of an association whose members are so trained. The prohibition does not apply to members of the PDF, PSF, MNP, PIS, a legally constituted volunteer or local force, a visiting force lawfully present in the country, or any organization or association exempted by the PDF, PSF, MNP, or PIS. Violations will be punished through a range of punishments based on magnitude and severity, ranging from a minimum $150,000 USP fine to 20 years imprisonment.
The Ministry of Investigations, acting through the Minister of Investigations, is empowered to prohibit any uniform or dress to be worn in public by members or adherents of a political or paramilitary association involved in the activities mentioned in the previous paragraph, or any uniform or dress indicating an association with a political organization or with the promotion of a political object. Wearing such a uniform or dress in contravention of the ISA is an offence, punishable by a $50,000 USP fine. In addition, if a MOI-PSF, MOI-PIS, or MNP-NAD Superintendent 1st class (or higher) considers it to be in the national interest to do, the officer can prohibit the manufacture, sale, use, wearing, display or possession of any flag, banner, badge, emblem, device, uniform or distinctive dress or any part thereof that can be or is likely to be used in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the FEUSSR, or to promote or foster a purpose prejudicial to or incompatible with peace, welfare, or good order in the FEUSSR. Violations constitute an offence, punishable by a $100,000 USP fine, on top of a $5,000 USP fine for each violating item.
The ISA also allows for preventive detention, conferring on any Minister of an executive-level Ministries, the Grand Secretaries, or the Supreme Leader a discretionary power to arrest and detain without trial for 14 days, when necessary, in order to prevent a person from acting in any manner prejudicial to the security of the FEUSSR or any part thereof, or to the maintenance of public order or essential services therein. Such essential services were defined as services relating to water, electricity, fuels, munitions, public health, fire, prisons, minerals, post, telephony, telegraphy, radiocommunication (including broadcasting and television), ports, docks, harbours, public transport, and the bulk distribution of the aforementioned, which lends jurisdiction to the 9 executive-level Ministries. Alternatively, in lieu of detention for the purposes mentioned above, restrictions such as curfews, requiring the reporting of movements, barring access to certain facilities, prohibiting the person from speaking at public meetings, prohibiting the person from taking part in political activities, and travelling beyond the FEUSSR or a part of the country for up to 1 year (subject to renewal) may be imposed.
Before a person can be detained under the ISA for the allocated 14 days, the Ministers, Grand Secretaries, or the Supreme Leader must be satisfied that such detention is necessary. Upon the fulfilment of this condition, a detention order is supplied which empowers the relevant law enforcement agencies to arrest and detain any person pending enquiries without a warrant. Within the 14 day timeframe, the detainee is permitted to have an appeal hearing against the order to an ISA Release Board, which is required to hear and consider the detainee's appeals. The ISA Release Boards are chaired by a random High Court judge, and has 3 other members appointed by consultation with a local Governor or Praetor. The Board has the powers of a court with regards to summoning witnesses, subpoenas, and so on. Upon a convocation and hearing from the Board, the Board evaluates the evidence of the appeal and either recommends the release of the detainee, recommends the continued detention, or recommends criminal charges to be levied. Non-citizens detained under the ISA do not have a right to make an appeal to the ISA Release Board, but are permitted to make a written appeal to the executive who authored the detention order within two months of detention. In both cases, the executive who authored the detention order can make any decision after consulting with the ISARB, be it for or against the ISARB's recommendations; the decision is final and cannot be called into question in any court.
Upon written prerogative by the Minister of Investigations and petitioning from the executive who authored the detention order, a detained individual under the ISA can be detained for up to two years, and this can be extended by prerogative of the Supreme Leader for further periods of up to two years at a time. The Minister is also empowered with discretion to suspend a detention order, but also has the authority to revoke the suspension at any time, which reactivates the detention order. Detention orders must be reviewed at least once every 12 months by an ISARB, which thereafter makes its recommendation to the executive who authored the detention order. If an advisory board recommends the release of a detainee and the executive in charge disagrees, the Supreme Leader may exercise personal discretion. To ensure fairness in the administration of preventative detention, a judicial review is made in which a High Court scrutinizes the executive's decisions and orders to ensure that they conform with the law. If the decisions and orders are not authorized by statute or if they have been made in contravention of the law, the Court automatically invalidates the order. Similarly, if any exercise of power through this statute contravenes the Constitution, it can be declared invalid.
The People's Publishing Authority, the body responsible for printing presses and publications under the Ministry of Posts and Communications, is authorized to ban documents and publications that are subversive or otherwise undesirable. The Deputy Head (or higher) of the PPA, or the Deputy Minister (or higher) of Posts and Communications, may prohibit (absolutely or conditionally) the printing, publication, sale, issue, circulation or possession of a document or publication that contains any incitement to violence, counsels disobedience to the law or to any lawful order, is likely to lead to a breach of the peace, is likely to promote feelings of hostility between different races or classes of the population, or is prejudicial to the national interest, public order or security of the FEUSSR. Such a prohibition order can extend to any past or future issue of a periodical publication, and to other publications which have been issued or appear to have been issued by the same publishing house, agency or other source which issued the prohibited publication. The source of the prohibited publication can lodge an objection to a order within a month of the date when the order is published to a local Consul, whose decision on the matter is binding, yet tentative to the Supreme Court or the Supreme Leader.
It is a criminal offence to print, publish, sell, issue, circulate, reproduce, or possess a prohibited publication or an extract from it; it is also an offense to import, abet the importation of, or have in one's possession any imported prohibited publication. This is punishable by a $5,000 USP fine for each violating item, or 2 day's imprisonment for each violating item. Likewise, a crime is committed if any person posts or distributes any document which contains an incitement to violence, counsels disobedience to the law or a lawful order, or is likely to lead to a breach of the peace, again punishable by a $7,000 USP fine for each violating item, or 2 day's imprisonment for each violating item. The distribution of false documents and reports, or the making of false statements which is likely to cause public alarm orally, in writing, or in any printed or digital publication is punishable by a $150,000 USP fine, or 20 month's imprisonment.
Finally, it is an offence to carry or have in one's possession or under one's control a subversive document. A document is deemed to be subversive if, in whole or in part, it has a tendency to excite organised violence against persons or property in the FEUSSR; to support, propagate or advocate any act prejudicial to the security of FEUSSR or the maintenance or restoration of public order therein or inciting to violence therein or counselling disobedience to the law thereof or to any lawful order therein; or to invite, request or demand support for or on account of any collection, subscription, contribution or donation, whether in money or in kind, for the direct or indirect benefit or use of persons who intend to act or are about to act, or have acted, in a manner prejudicial to the security of FEUSSR or to the maintenance of public order therein, or who incite to violence therein or counsel disobedience to the law thereof or any lawful order therein. A document that purports to be a subversive document is presumed to be one until the contrary has been proved, and if it is proved to be positive, the accused is deemed to have known the contents of the document. This constitutes a criminal offense under the ISA, and is punishable by 5 month's imprisonment. Likewise, an obligation is placed upon any person who receives a subversive document to deliver it to a police officer without delay.
Under the ISA, it will also be an offence to carry, or have in one's possession or under one's control in any area without lawful excuse, any firearm, ammunition or explosive without lawful authority. The penalty for the offence is 13 month's imprisonment. The onus is on the person charged to prove that he or she has a lawful excuse or authority for having the item, which only applies if the person is part of the MOI-PIS, MOI-PSF, MNP, PDF, Internal Troops, Militia, is licensed to have the item, is authorized without a licence to have the item by a Deputy Police Commissioner or higher, has been granted an exemption by a Deputy Police Commissioner or higher, or has the item in connection with the performance of his or her duty (i.e: security guards). However, even if any of the above situations applies to a person, the person will not have lawful authority if the person has the item for the intent of using it in a criminal manner, or in a manner prejudicial to public security or the maintenance of public order.

Central News Agency
There is just over a year before Oliver Zat's mandate as President of the Republic is concluded.
5 years ago, the Democratic Progressive Party he led won with about 60% of the votes, the highest percentage achieved by the DPP with a turnout of 75%, one of the highest ever, albeit according to the latest polls do not seem to be able to match previous data.
In fact, the latest polls have a very similar value for the KMT and DPP, both hovering around 48%, so the upcoming elections could be a battle for last vote for the presidency of China, between the new face (not yet unveiled) of the DPP, after Zat said he will not be re-nominatedn and the well-known figure of the Kuomintang, Sun Zen, leader of the party for more than 4 years and previously mayor of Nanning.

Royal State Palace, Jeddah
The Caliph is seated in his office in the Palace, reading about the recent developments in Yemen. The coup de etat in Yemen had been successful, and the rebels had been successful in establishing a new Yemeni state.
This reminded him of how the Nationalist front had seized power from the erstwhile Mohammaden Caliphate.
He was deep into nostalgia and reminiscing events from the freedom struggle, when suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted.
"Your Excellency, the Infinian Prime Minister wishes to talk to you. I would also like to report that Al-Harazi, former President of Socialist Yemen, has taken asylum in Infiniya."
Al-Harazi, huh? He had met him before. Not as a Caliph like he was now, though. He was still the Crown Prince of Hejaz when he first visited Yemen, and formally met him. For some reason, personally, he found his nature distasteful. He felt like someone who would run as soon as things went south. Now, he was forced to flee to Infiny, after his rule had failed to control the radicals.
"Although I believe matters of Arabia should stay in Arabia, cooperation between all parties involved is necessary right now for the sake of the Yemeni people."
"The Caliphate has no problem with the socialist leader seeking asylum in Infiny. Regarding the border, there have been no reports on any border transgressions, however, there have indeed been a few incidences of illegal in-migration from Yemen, primarily socialist supporters and such. They have been provided asylum in border camps for now.
"I believe a permanent solution to this can only be achieved through talks. I would like to invite a representative from Infiny, Mr. Al-Harazi, along with a representative from the new Yemeni state to Dubai.
I hope your esteemed nation will cooperate with ours in this regard. Please convey my message and regards to Mr. Al-Harazi."
