Power Struggle in Zuhlgan Intensifies as Security Forces Tighten Grip on Capital
Ozákla, Zuhlgan— Three days after widespread reports of troop movements and sealed government districts first emerged from the Dominion’s capital, the situation inside Zuhlgan has sharpened into what multiple foreign governments are now openly calling an internal purge directed by Arkava Ibinete IV against rival Autarks.
The Divine Committee, the Defense Ministry, and the Foreign Affairs Office have still not issued any public statements. In concert, state media has alternated between total silence and brief, cryptic announcements about “ongoing security measures,” none of which acknowledge the scale of the crackdown reported by witnesses and foreign observers in Ozákla.
However, leaked internal communications obtained by several allied intelligence services indicate that at least three members of the Divine Committee have not been seen or heard from since the initial deployments began. Their personal guards were reportedly disarmed by elite Zahalniyah Guard units, suggesting coordinated arrests and possibly executions. One senior intelligence official in Krauanagaz described the internal security posture as “lockdown levels not seen since the 1950s.”
