Haradesa - Oppossition leader Bwana Mbukwa was reported dead last night by prison authorities, sparking outrage throughout the country and causing enduring protests to turn violent. His death was reportedly caused by a combination of dehydration and hunger, as well as "non treated illness" likely caused by bad conditions in the Haradesa Central Prison. While information is scarce, one of the prison guards that has since resigned revealed that the death was an accident, with prison guards unable to properly feed and treat Mbukwa due to a prison riot that prevented guards from reaching Mbukwa's cell for days. Upon hearing the news, protestors in Haradesa turned into rioters, starting fires throughout the city, raiding supermarkets and stores and storming several buildings, including a local police station. 

In other parts of the country rioters attacked police, killing at least 3 officers and wounding hundreds more. In Mariazi, one of the largest storage terminals in the country was set ablaze after protestors broke through a army roadblock, resulting in shortages of food and consumer goods throughout the entire Mukina province. Interestingly, as protests grow, a majority of Nsanians protesting have rallied around Crown Prince Ashon II, great grandson of the last Nsanian monarch, who has called for the government to resign and a new constitution to be drawn. Ashon still holds monarchist aspirations, as witnessed by his speeches in the last few days, and his growing number of supporters seem to long for the stability that used to reign under the monarchy decades ago. 

The military, so far disorganized and disunited, is now reportedly breaking down. Senior officials remain loyal to the Kereenyaga government, while the lower echelons of military leadership are starting to move to the protestors camp. Prime Minister Kereenyaga has so far remained steadfast, but is rumoured to now prepare a exit from the country. Some of his ministers have openly called for negotiations and a new constitution, fearing that they and their party might become victim of revolution if they do not listen to the Nsanian people. As the situation escalates, foreigners are leaving the country and daily life has halted. Now, we hold our breath as the nation stands at a crossroad.
