A New Republic - Creating the New Somalian Republic

^{_{Sebtember 1971 - Jamhuuriyadda Mareykanka waxaa la abuuray}}

The Somali Times | The New Republic of Somalia Finally Created!

^{_{The Somali Rejoice as a new Republic is created at the end of the Somali Revolution}}

| Somalia; The land of instability and chaos, but facts can change. During the Somalian Civil War, Somalia experienced severe loss and suffering under the relentless attacks of Siad Barre and his conspirators. The Somali People seemed all but lost to the forces and attacks of Siad Barre, but they remained. After only a mere 5 months of hundreds of deaths, the Somali Rebellion finally took Mogadishu, and proclaimed the New United Republic of Somalia. The rebels stormed the capital and the provisional leader, Hani Hassan, was taken from power and elections were held to elect the first president of the republic. According to the newly written and revised constitution, the president could only serve 3 terms (4 years) until he had to come down from office and a renewed election would be held, the previous president would also choose to rerun for president if it was in his will. The constitution had been presented with great honor and work, for the constant revision of the constitution was to keep the state in order, to prevent psychotic uprisings and selfish individuals from rising to power, and prevented the eventual downfall of the states. The provinces were given new administrative power over their respective territories, cultures were allowed to spread and flourish across the Somali state. The continued resilience of culture shows the ever more persistent upbringing of the nation. The Presidential Representative, Jamhur Mohammed, gave a speech regarding the lives lost during the revolution, and gave kind condolence words to all lives lost, especially during the psychotic genocides of Siad Barre, a man which would never be missed.

"So, then, sometimes difficulties arise from smog and smoke.
The psychotic, lost, and irrational will operate until their goal is met.
For lives lost to them are only lost parts, they look until their
systems function with the helpless people as cogs and gears,
to work on a psychopathic machine. When those cogs
cease work, the operator goes on a tantrum of
a sociopath. But this is sure; A cog which
continues to work based on what the
machine wants, rather than one individual piece,
Is how you make a functioning machine."

- Jamhur Mohammed, Presidential Representative

| The speech given that day is known as the 'Revolutionary Account' and gives a summary of the Revolution, its affects, and even though it lasted a short time due to the strategic coup d'e'tat, that the lives lost were no low amount, as stands currently, over 23,000 Somali Men were killed, while 30,000 Woman and Children were either found and categorized as missing or dead. During the Genocidal Period, over 130,000 men and women, including children, were killed during the psychotic tantrum of Siad Barre. He was assassinated shortly after the interior Coup D'e'tat. His charred remains have unknown whereabouts, but it was last seen being dragged through Kenya and released into Lake Victoria into the Ugandan Borders, but this is all the information they have on the subject. The Somali people wish to never see a tramuatic and surely scarring event like this occur, but as in the words of Kowtame Ali,

"The world is like the wind,
So essential yet so dangerous,
and so predictable but so unexpected."

ORLY AIRFIELD — NOON
_{PARIS, Metropolitan Francais}

| Their Imperial Majesties, the Emperor and Empress of Japan, arrived in Paris for a “private” visit that was far from private. The chartered Japan Airlines plane landed at Orly Airfield following the Emperor’s visit to Wallonia. The royal couple were welcomed by the Minister of State for Administrative Reform, Roger Frey, who organized the reception. Troops wearing plumed helmets and wielding shining sabers formed a guard of honor. The Emperor and Empress got into a car and were taken to the Hotel de Crillon, where there was a Japanese flag flying on the roof. A lunch was hosted by the President of France, GEORGES POMPIDOU, and his wife, after which the Emperor and Empress went for a walk. For Hirohito, it brought back memories of his youth. Paris is one of his favorite memories from the European trip he took in 1921, when he was still crown prince. As for the Empress, it was her first time abroad. According to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, the Emperor and Empress are resting between the visit to Wallonia and their visit to Britain. The royal couple visited Notre Dame and then Sainte-Chapelle. Afterwards, they took a car tour of Paris. The Emperor and Empress, after visiting the Louvre, will visit a small inn in Barbizon, the art center near Fontainbleau. The royal couple will dine at Tour d’Argent, one of the oldest and most elegant restaurants in Paris. |

PARLIAMENT SQUARE — MORNINGTIME
_{LONDON, Great Britain GB}

| The Emperor and Empress were welcomed by large crowds when they arrived in London for a three-day state visit. But there was little applause and the crowd was silent considering its size. It seemed that many did not know how to respond to a former enemy who was now returning to Europe, after half a century, as a symbol of a peaceful but also enigmatic country. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Parliament Square and lined up in Whitehall and the Mall as the Emperor and Queen ELIZABETH II traveled in a carriage from Victoria Station to Buckingham Palace. At a dinner for 170 guests, the Queen proposed a toast to the Emperor’s health. A report in the Evening Standard caused a diplomatic uproar that pointed to a possible abdication of the Emperor sometime in 1972, after his state visit to Washington. The report states that the Emperor considered his trips to Western countries, especially those that suffered during the wartime occupation of Japan, as a penance, after which the way would be opened for a complete rapprochement under a new Emperor. |

| Japan’s Royal House classified the abdication report as “a triviality and not worth responding to.” However, given the age of the current monarch, there were assumptions in Japan about the Emperor’s abdication in favor of the 37-year-old Crown Prince AKIHITO. The 70-year-old Emperor has been on the imperial throne since 1926. Both the Emperor and Empress looked relaxed as they flew into Gatwick Airport in south London after visiting the French capital. Security precautions have been taken due to protests by militant Japanese students in Europe, some of whom claim the Emperor’s visit represents a resurgence of militarism or British war veterans. There were a number of letters from veterans with painful memories of Japanese militarism. The Emperor and Empress were welcomed at the airport by Princess MARGARET and Lord Snowden, who accompanied the imperial entourage to London on a special train. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh accompanied by members of the royal family, Prime Minister Heath, and other members of the government were at Victoria Station. The Emperor attended a ceremony at Westminster Abbey and then walked through the abbey as the choir sang Mendelsohn’s “Lift Thine Eyes.” Later, the Emperor and Empress went to Clarence House to have tea with Queen Mother ELIZABETH. |

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT — AFTERNOON
_{AMSTERDAM, Hollunde}

| The arrival of the Emperor and Empress in the Netherlands was the target of protests during the most controversial phase of their trip to Europe. A protester threw a stone at the windshield of the Emperor’s limousine. This happened when the Emperor returned to The Hague after a visit to Rotterdam and the Eurdmast observation tower. Some houses along the way flew Dutch flags at half-mast. There were no Japanese flags and there was no crowd either. The Dutch Government made a point of highlighting an unofficial visit and that lunch with Queen BEATRIX is a minimum courtesy. But the reception given to the Emperor and Empress was so meager that it embarrassed the staff of the Japanese Embassy in the Netherlands. The Emperor’s visit to Norden was also unofficial, but when King GUSTAF VI ADOLF arrived at the airport, a royal marquee was erected and there were Japanese flags all over Copenhagen. In Amsterdam, there were no flags, no red carpet, and no royalty as the Emperor’s plane touched down at Schiphol Airport from London shortly after noon. The Emperor was received by the Grand Chamberlain of the Dutch court. A bulletproof limousine was provided to the Emperor, and his motorcade traveled at 75 miles per hour to The Hague, with a police escort, while helicopters monitored the route. The imperial entourage is staying at the Huis ten Bosch palace. The Emperor will visit Amsterdam and then leave for a day visit to Geneva, Alpenland, starting before his state visit to West Germany, the last country of his 16-day trip to Europe. The staff traveling with the Emperor recognizes that the visit to the Netherlands is the most difficult of all. |

BONN AIRPORT — MORNINGTIME
_{BONN, New Provenance}

| The Japanese Emperor began his three-day visit to West Germany amid generally friendly crowds. The chartered Japan Airlines plane flew over Munich on its way to Bonn from Geneva, Alpenland, to give the Emperor a view of the ground being prepared for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Upon leaving the plane, accompanied by the Empress, the Emperor waved happily before going down the stairs. The Emperor and Empress received a 21-gun salute. Followed by an army band that played the Japanese anthem, “Kimigayo,” and the German anthem, “Deutschland über alles.” Some felt this brought a slight echo of the wartime alliance between Germany and Japan. There were some boos and whistles from people gathered in front of Bonn City Hall, who were there to watch the Emperor’s signing of the visitors’ book. But the reception was still friendly. |

OCTOBER , 1971
A Restoration Of Federal Level Democracy

| Yang di-Pertuan Agong Abdul Halim of Kedah would meet with prime minister Goh Hock Guan. To inform the prime minister, that he [Abdul Halim] will officially end the state of emergency and reopen parliament. |

| Goh Hock Guan objected to the idea, as the communist still pose a threat to Malaysia as a nation. But the Yang di-Pertuan Agong would retort, Goh Hock Guan by rationalising that the communist threat are isolated to the north of Malaysia on the peninsula and are also isolated on the Indonesian-Malaysian border on the island of Borneo. As such the state of emergency is no longer needed on a nation wide scale and instead a smaller scale, state of emergency will be implemented. |

| Of the states that would still be placed under a state of emergency, in which the federal government could heavily intervene in the affairs of the state. Would be the state of Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Sarawak. In the case of Sarawak it was selected alone without the inclusion of Sabah under the state of emergency. Is that according to reports provided by the Kuasa Tertinggi Field Unit, the communist threat in Borneo had been isolated into pockets in just Sarawak. |

| The news would be made public information shortly after with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong being the figure making the public proclamation on the end of the nation wide state of emergency and introducing the smaller scale state of emergency in its place. Along with that would come the information that all political parties would be interested in. The reopening of parliament and a new parliamentary election to figure out the distribution of parliamentary seats. However states under the current state of emergency will not receive any voting stations for voting in the parliamentary election. |

Epilogue: Barisan Nasional
| Mahathir Mohamad, the current president of the United National Organisation [UNO] would meet with Syed Hussein Alatas, current president of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia [GERAKAN], Ketuanegara-Arish Hadif Rayyan, current president of Brunei's Federalist Party [BFP] and S. P. Seenivasagam, current president of the People's Progressive Party [PPP]. A party that left the Democratic Action Party [DAP] led political coalition in government.
After much negotiations it would be agreed that all 4 parties would form a new political coalition calling itself: Barisan Nasional [BN], otherwise known as in English as the National Front Coalition. A coalition formed to counter the DAP led Prosperity Coalition Party, for a majority seats in parliament.
With further ambitions to acquire more parties as members in the coalition, namely parties in the states of Sarawak and Sabah. |
