Okhoa People Demand Greater Autonomy as Council Debates Future
The Okhoa Regional Council is meeting to debate a proposal for expanded autonomy in the Okhoa Protectorate, formerly known as Vithic Keyli, which was annexed by the Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan in 1905. The proposal seeks to grant the Okhoa people greater control over their natural resources, expanded legislative powers, and recognition of their indigenous cultural rights. This discussion comes amid growing discontent over the Dominion’s control, environmental degradation, and cultural erosion resulting from over a century of economic exploitation. While some Zuhlgani officials view the call for autonomy as a threat to the Dominion’s unity, others see it as a potential path to a more cooperative relationship and positive international image. The Council’s debate is seen as a pivotal moment that could influence the region’s future and has drawn widespread attention across the Cordilian peninsula.
