BADARA ADMITTED TO SOMECO
 
MANARA  ALBRAYD SRIA AL-MUSAMI
(If it’s in the Monsoon, it’s got to be true)
 
Branovice, March 17, 5688: The Monsoon caught up with former Justice Minister Yasser al-Mirza of the Working Institutional Group (WIG) faction in the Majlis at his hotel in Branovice, and asked him why he was there to which he replied:
 

As you may know, I have been selected to represent Jumhuriat al-Badara in the South Majatran Economic Cooperation Organization (SOMECO) to which we have been admitted.  A major SOMECO conference will be underway shortly hence my presence.
 
This will be an opportunity to establish a working relationship with the other delegates for the purpose of developing a role for SOMECO in the pan Majatran economy.  We certainly believe SOMECO can be a vehicle for mutual prosperity.
 
Further, Jumhuriat al-Badara has been isolated and this conference will help us reestablish productive relations with our traditional allies.

 
Asked by the Monsoon whether he was more an ambassador or a trade representative, the SOMECO Emissary responded:
 

An excellent question actually. I think, and I could be wrong, I technically at this point report to the Ministerial Council but whether as a practical matter I finally report to the Chancellor, the Finance Minister or the Foreign Minister, it is too early to say.
 
We are committed to working with SOMECO and will see how the duties evolve as opportunities present themselves.
