PM 'disagrees' with Saham over Kundrati embargo lift
December 5594 (backdated)

---

Yishelem, Endild - Rarely political disagreements inside BeiGov make it into the news in Beiteynu, because they're simply very minimized, but the situation isn't always as rosy as it usually is. This time, is one of those times when parts of BeiGov disagree, and it's over a pretty big issue: Kundrati. The Prime Minister, Sharon Aristocrat-Goldbloom II, has stated earlier today that her Administration 'fundamentally disagrees' with the decision of lifting an embargo imposed to Kundrati - a decision that has come after the YBI conducted a joint investigation with Likatonian colleagues.

The Prime Minister said she fully trusts and supports the YBI's work, but added that she maintains doubts over Kundrati as a whole, and its new leadership, doubts that are really concerns over the treatment of Yeudis, and the historical behavior of Kasaema:

As the Yeudi Homeland's Prime Minister, I work around the clock to ensure Yeudis are protected Terran-wide. I have doubts over the judgement of the new leaders in Kasaema to treat Yeudis well, and besides, this is a nation that has caused a lot of pain in the past to our beautiful Homeland. We lost money, and sailors because of them. I'll meet with Saham leaders to discuss this situation with them.

Equifund manufacturers heed Kalopian call on military equipment; Himmelshtern pressures Melikvan to withdraw from Istalia

October 5595

Melikvan, Pontesi - Triggered after Ilir Bajrami, Foreign Minister of Kalopia, reached out to the Nisrad of Yishelem requesting military assistance in light of what is generally referred to as the Fourth Solentian Civil War, a consortium of Equifund manufacturers invited representatives from the Kalopian Government to Melikvan to present and review offers on the requested tanks, armoured vehicles and multiple rocket launchers.

Tikkun Haganah made all Merkava-line battle tanks available upon request, as well as a small range of armoured vehicles, including Beimar Industries's Sandcat, perfectly conditioned for the harsh arid landscapes of the Kalopian-Solentian borders.

Keshet Systems joined to offer the B-300 to cover Kalopian needs on rocket launchers.

Upon further pressure from the Nisrad of Yishelem, Sato - the infamous missile and rocket company - additionally offered to manufacture and ship LORA-line theater range ballistic missiles, to compensate for the lack of drones in the consortium.

-

A separate meeting took place in Yishelem between the Agafim and representatives of the Kalopian intelligence community; although officials declined to comment, analysts have surmised that the AllComm would be granting additional resources for the Allink, Beiteynu's network of intelligence and military satellites, for direct use by the Kalopian Government in any and all operations relating to Solentia.

It's important to note that while the Allink is available to all MSCO members, several skeptics have been pushing for a termination of access.

-

As the situation in SEM continues to unfold, several high ranking officials from the generally Narik and Darnussian aligned Nisrad of Himmelshtern have been pressuring Pontesi to withdraw from Istalia, citing a "chronic, counter-productive instability in a shitty region".

Head of the Agaf Maria Kadiyot bashed the Istalian political scene for "fuelling anti-Yeudi rhetoric and racism", citing a 5593 piece by the Patriotic Front.

-

She was joined by the Head of the Kohav who was quick to call out Lodamun for "blatant opportunism and militarism" of "a certain Dorvish notoriety", noting how the Lodamese military had "no business" in Majatra, in reference to a 5595 meeting held with the Kalopian Government.

The Nisrad of Yishelem remains hopeful that Cachtica will remember its non-Majatran policies of the past.

"We hope no preferential surprises spring up suddenly", he concluded.

BREAKING NEWS: At war; navy succeeds in pushback offensive with extensive damages to Xsampan warships (video)

November 5595

Himmelshtern, North Bank - The Head of the Kohav briefed journalists a few minutes ago on a successful offensive conducted by the Beiteynuese Naval Command against Xsampan forces just eastwards of Rapa Pile, in the same region that's been brewing for a hot incident for years on end. Over the last few weeks military officials have been planning an operation in light of Xsampa's continued silence insofar as the declaration of the 3rd and Final Azhara is concerned, issued by the Office of the Prime Minister last year.

A short memo released by the Nisrad of Yishelem confirmed that the Homeland State is now officially at war with Xsampa.

According to the Kohav's statements, the naval battle that ensued in the Traitor's Depth North of Vascania saw all 3 fleets - deployed since 5592 - engage in a coordinated offensive manoeuvre, in an attempt to pushback Xsampan forces back westwards of Rapa Pile to the Sovereign Sea.

"Our ordeal against irrationality, paranoia and unreason has just began", he concluded.

-

A Vascanian official briefly commented in a rather saddened tone for both sides to "stop being mean [near our islands]".

Cracks in governance; Nisrad of Yishelem scrambles to put out multiple fires on multiple fronts as war with Xsampa takes a toll

July 5597

Yishelem - Albeit Xsampa's offensive earlier this year barely making any dent in the theatre of war, military successes for the Beiteynuese Naval Command have done very little to assuage systemic political and geopolitical concerns after the shattering of confidence in administrative circles following Vanuku's deployment of naval assets in the Red Bass Ocean and off the coast of the West Bank in 5596.

In fact, the Nisrad of Hofesh in the West Bank panicked so much that an entire ordeal of heated talks ensued with the Nisrad of Himmelshtern - the one in charge of the Homeland State's naval forces - for months on end; only for them to abruptly end as Bannerhafen started to drag Yishelem to court, for what Narik and Darnussian officials from Himmelshtern cite as a "steadily decaying and general failure at central governance".

A source close to the 3rd Point Federation's leadership claims that the order to attack Xsampa came in a very troubled manner, which immediately put the screws on Beiteynuese and Narik and Darnussian relations since last year.

Rumours indicate an increased level of distress in the House of Elior, as the Meleh resides now in Yishelem, avoiding the public spotlight.

-

Relations took a turn for the worse after Haldor's recent public declaration of support for Xsampa - with intelligence officials declining to comment on whether the Dorvish have put any actions to their words. Dorvik, albeit being the last state to ratify the JAMS Agreement shortly before it was deprecated and replaced, has yet to recognise the Migrant Accords and the 3PF, adding further strain to discussions between regional leaders.

Despite the chaotic ensemble, the Agaf met with its counterparts in Bannerhafen in an attempt to leverage Dundorfian connections in Artania and lobby the Dorvish to "back off" before the situation escalates "into a renewed and permanent regional animosity" against Haldor.

-

Although the Kohav has been fuming with an ever increasing sense of paranoia, Kanjor's recent decision to deploy warships to escort trade vessels has generally resonated well within the ranks of the Agaf (former Medinat Department) and the Nisrad of Yishelem - after all, Kanjor, being an integral part of the Canrillaise culture and network, still expresses the Yeudi People's undying fondness of Lourenne.

The problem is Zardugal's similar move, in effect since last year.

Once formerly a state [Zardugal] in odds with the Empire of the Jelbic Peoples, Vanuku's renewed position pretty much finds both states aligning when it comes to a pro-Xsampan foreign policy, skyrocketing Beiteynuese military and intelligence concerns, especially in regards to the carrier strike group Kadima II still in active deployment to the Vascanian Sea.

However, Zardugal's ever increasing ties with the Yeudi Diaspora (Neset) and the industrialists of the Tzafrir House from West Majatra have generally blocked any escalation attempts from the Beiteynuese Government - hence the radio silence from Yishelem.

-

On the other hand, Kundratijan actions since 5597 have sparked government-wide fury across the Homeland State, with several 3rd Point Federation officials expressing vehement positions that "Kundrati needs to stay as far away as possible".

Increasing concerns indicate to an inevitable escalation in the Artanian Sea, with rumours citing that the Beiteynuese Naval Command will be complementing Kadima IV and the Yeudi Fleet already deployed south of Etxea with additional forces.

With YBI in the investigative spotlight itself for its 5594 findings, the Kohav was quick to issue a 2nd Azhara to Kundrati.

Navy backs down from Traitor's Depth; forces retasked to Artanian Sea as 3rd Azhara to Kundrati looms on the horizon

February 5598

Yishelem - Kundrati's extensive increase of military alertness and subsequent local deployments in the northern Artanian Sea close to Etxea since last year have eerily resonated of the War of Lost Souls with Lourenne back in the 5470s; a time when Kundratijan movements caused a severe breakdown of focus for the Beiteynuese Naval Command, resulting in the re-tasking of forces and loss of positions to Lourenne.

With the 2nd Azhara already issued last summer, pressure once again mounts up on the Office of the Rosh HaMemshala to issue the 3rd and final warning to a nation that most high-ranking officials in the Beiteynuese Government refer to as the "erratic anti-Beiteynuese troublemaker".

Amidst extensive pressure from Vanuku's forces in the Red Bass Ocean and the complexities stemming from Zardic deployments of warships to escort Xsampan merchant ships in the south, the BNC had no choice but to back down towards West Majatra.

The Lekavot Fleet has been re-tasked to meet up with the Yeudi, Yishelhafen and Kadima IV fleets as the drums of war echo in the Artanian Sea.

-

Head of the Kohav Maria Kadiyot stated that the Nisrad of Yishelem remains in close contact with Fort William, as the situation unfolds and speedily moves to turn into a massive naval stand-off with a state and a government that Beiteynu maintains no contact with.

-

Meanwhile, the war-like situation with Xsampa continues since the first offensive in 5595 with multiple skirmishes having taken place west and east of Rapa Pile in the intervening years, causing further strain with the Vascanian Government.

Both sides have suffered a number of damages, but with no loss of ships, thus far.

-

Kadima II has reportedly moved further north in the Vascanian Sea; officials declined to comment.

BREAKING NEWS: Navy launches IRBM attack at southern Xsampan coasts and naval installations

August 5598

Himmelshtern, North Bank - We have just received word from the Beiteynuese Naval Command in Himmelshtern that Kadima II, the carrier strike group of 9 warships of the Shahar Fleets deployed in the Vascania Sea launched an IRBM attack against strategic locations in South Xsampa in the early hours of this morning (local time), in an attempt to disrupt naval operations and supply for Xsampan fleets.

The fleet's Froahiko-class nuclear-powered submarine of Vanukean design and the 2 Nekama-class cruisers of joint Narik and Darnussian and Yeudi design led the charge with Sato's notorious Yeudicho IRBMs. To perform the attack, the fleet had to move closer to Yerrawa in the southeast.

When asked about the outcome of the operation, a spokesperson from the Kohav in Yishelem stated:

Military intelligence indicates that the Xsampan military does in fact possess some sort of anti-ballistic capabilities; that much has been clear to us even without satellite imagery provided by the AllComm.

Kadima II was successful in conducting a surprise attack, however, to the best of our intelligence, it failed to hit any relevant targets.

She declined to comment on whether the Homeland State would be attempting another attack, or even using ICBMs.

Secretary of the Himmelshtern Nisrad resigns in protest: "Yishelem should not dictate anything"

February 5599

Himmelshtern, Himmelshtern Nisrad - Bannerhafen's 5597 initiation of judicial proceedings to hold the Beiteynuese Government accountable for the severe regional disruption in trade and commerce, while leading to the initial cracks in confidence that same year, failed to instigate any real damage to the Yishelem Nisrad; the one bureau that still retains the might of the Neset's lobbying influence.

What turned the tide was the September 5998 stock market panic in Tel Bira. Hadayim, arguably the world's largest shipping conglomerate, transferred its assets to Bannerhafen, after centuries of being listed on the stock market index in Tel Bira.

Yishelem's grasping at straws to retain a sense of coherency in its relations with the Yeudi Diaspora, as well as the Narik and Darnussian communities in Himmelshtern, peaked with yesterday's resignation of the Secretary of the Himmelshtern Nisrad.

A move that has sent the Aristocrat-Goldbloom Administration spiralling down, with rumours of Sharon II being pressured to resign.

Maria Kadiyot ousts Sharon II as Prime Minister; Kadiyot Administration takes the reigns amidst a crisis in governance

March 5599

Yishelem, Yishelem Nisrad - The former Head of the Agaf who famously brought back 1 of the 8 Gems from Luthori in 5590 has spearheaded the charge against the multi-year reign of the Aristocrat-Goldbloom Administration since before the war with Xsampa. The recent unfolding crises in governance stemming from Himmelshtern's challenge at Yishelem's capacity and competence in representing the interests of a Homeland State that is mostly comprised by an astounding cluster of multiple ethnicities and cultural characteristics has only led to Ms. Kadiyot doubling down.

Especially amidst a war with Xsampa, severe regional tensions including but not limited with Vanuku, the broader Jelbic world, Zardugal and the ongoing stand-off with Kundrati that might as well lead to a second front in armed conflict.

Additionally, the tell-tale signs of the Neset's simultaneous doubling down against Yishelem's policies in dragging out a general animosity against multiple states - with most supporting and having relations with the Yeudi Diaspora - has only deteriorated the situation.

-

It is expected that the Goldblooms from Sholemberg will not stand in support of the new administration. Most financial analysts from Tel Bira expect the situation in Himmelshtern to worsen, despite Ms. Kadiyot's increased efforts at retaining a crackling central government in Yishelem.

In fact, rumours from high-ranking officials in Bannerhafen have cited several Narik and Darnussian figures from the Himmelshtern Nisrad with close affiliations to the VVP, who may run for the position of the Secretary.

-

A statement from the Head of Saham noted that "Tel Bira has no business with the internal affairs of the Homeland State, much as Yishelem has no business with the affairs of the Neset", signalling yet another Nisrad distancing itself from the newly sworn in Kadiyot Administration.

Curiously, the Meleh and former Emperor of the Jelbic Peoples has remained silent, albeit a notably declining support for the monarchy.
