BREAKING— According to a representative from the Mitallduk Provisional government, negotiations for a ceasefire are currently underway between delegates of the Takaran People’s Army (TPA) and the Mitallduk Provisional Government. Sources close to the negotiations have reported that both parties have engaged in talks, mediated by Zuhlgan, aimed at halting hostilities that have ravaged the region for nearly two months.

The ceasefire discussions come after a series of intense battles and territorial shifts in Northern Mitallduk, including the recent fall of the capital city, Ta’ana, to TPA forces. The conflict has resulted in widespread devastation, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians, and a dire humanitarian crisis affecting Southern Cordilia.

While most details of the negotiations remain confidential, it is understood that key issues such as troop withdrawals, humanitarian access, and political power are being addressed. The outcome of these talks holds crucial implications for the future stability and governance of Mitallduk, as well as regional security dynamics.

Gianlucian President Schmidt has accepted the invitation to the victory parade. He was cited to have had accepted the invitation especially for its symbolic nature to show the CE’s unity after the Frost Empire was also invited to the ceremony.

Political analysts increasingly report on a mood of silent disappointment within the Gianlucian government though, which is not only based on oppositional criticism received for ambiguous stances on human rights, but also on shortcomings in regards of reaching goals laid out in the coalition treaty or stuck negotiations on free trade agreements with CE partners.

DEVELOPING— Several hours ago during scheduled ceasefire negotiations in Ozákla, a large explosion occurred which devastated the Zuhlgani International Affairs Centere. It is unclear exactly what caused the explosion at this time, however Zuhlgani authorities have alleged that a bomb was detonated in their capital.

Zuhlgani authorities say that there are, “significant casualties,” and that many members of the negotiation teams had been injured or killed. Arkava Ibinete IV issued a statement declaring martial law in Zuhlgan’s capital, and has reportedly deployed hundreds of Zuhlgani soldiers and police to shut down the city.

Zuhlgan’s foreign affairs chief, Autark H’kara, asserted that Krauanagaz’s, “pathetic border control,” was to blame for what he described as a terrorist attack.

Past has struck a deal with the Ikaranarean MoD to start production on several Ikaranarean-developed military hardwares, including the Arrum-class multirole fighter, which has previously seen use in Jakub. The Ikaranarean and Pasten militaries are also supposed to start doing regular joint trainings as part of the multilateral Indavral Alliance. There have also been rumors that Past plans on sending active-duty soldiers to Losavra, although none of the governments of the Indavral States have substantiated these claims.

In Losavra, several arrests have been made on corruption charges related to high-ranking officials and politicians supporting the terrorist groups. This had led to widespread protest in many of the regions from people who believe the central government had political motives in the arrests, with one protestor saying:

“Los Lokramevêro Zalaven gat tomokra. En olata vaves ei zalaten êravêro lolapolik a zolapolik. Soi lon ke Alssa önai.”

In Austral: “Many Politicians arrested were not radical. The central government is arresting anyone left and right (of center.) They want to control us.”

Despite the widespread protests, things on the military side of Losavra have been relatively quiet, with no major insurgent operations taking place. Military analysts have warned of a “calm before the storm,” stating “The current political enviornment in Losavra is a lot of anger, which insurgent groups can channel into hatred and violence. It is unlikely that they will wait until the controversy is over to start making moves.” Many Ikaranarean military officials have expressed great concern over the Losavral policy of doing most of the arrests in one decisive strike, stating that that policy is likely amplifying the controversial nature of the arrests.

Eastern Land News:
The Story of the Stukk Refugee:

With the start of yet another conflict between the countries of Firest and Aldestukk, a high number of Stukk refugees have already fled their respective country due to the initial Firestian invasion of Stukk territory. Despite Firest proclaiming itself as “true to Vrignyan culture and defending the Vrignyan nation”, Vrigny sees no quarrel with taking in as many Stukk and Firestian refugees as possible, as long as they respect Vrigny’s secular society.

It is estimated that up to 10k Stukk refugees have already made it to Vrigny. While finding decent housing is hard for these refugees, it seems that finding employment within Vrigny is a different story. Different sectors of Vrigny’s industry have accepted this new source of workers with open arms; however, it is unclear if the intention of these enterprises is one of goodwill, or if this just another example of capitalists choosing the cheaper workforce.

Most surprisingly, it seems that the industrial sector that has hired the highest number of Stukk refugees so far is the resurrecting military-industrial complex. We have our concerns for these Stukk nationals, not only due to the possibility of being employed under unregulated and possibly illegal contracts, but also due to the simple fact that these private Vrignyan military manufacturers have absolutely no problem, and are in fact, selling most of their military equipment to Firest; the country that is causing all these Stukk nationals their current misery.

We have interviewed several Stukk refugees who work at differen Vrignyan military equipment-producing factories, and some of their responses have been the following: “Over in Aldestukk we would never get paid such a generous salary”, “We live under difficult times, our lives have always been difficult” and “Perhaps we should prepare to never go back to Aldestukk, or whatever it may be, again”. Despite these salaries pretty much being the minimum legally allowed amount (as far as we’ve seen), we do see the attitudes of these Stukk refugees with disdain; this individualist and selfish point of view they exhibit only causes more suffering to the Stukk population in Aldestukk.

Here at Eastern Land News, we have always defended Pacifican Internationalism; no nation is superior to other, and nations shouldn’t matter at all: we are all human, and human lives are what matter. However, perhaps this should show that, especially in dire situations, nations should stick together and work for their victory, not their own demise.
