NHK Daily - Russian Violation of Japanese Air Space

According to the Ministry of Defense yesterday around 2:00am Japanese Standard Time a nuclear capable Tu-95 part of the 73rd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment and operating out of Russian Air Force Base Ukrainka violated Japanese Air Space off the coast of Karafuto.

The Tu-95 was detected and 5 F-35’s of the Imperial Japanese Air Force intercepted the plane as it approached Japan’s air space.

The F-35’s transmitted several warnings to the Tu-95 that it was approaching Japanese air space and to change its heading. The Tu-95 failed to listen to the warnings and it eventually reached Japanese Air Space violating it.

As the Tu-95 failed to listen to the warnings an Imperial Japanese Air Force (IJAF) F-35 pulled alongside to the head of the plane opening its internal weapon bay showing air-to-air missiles. The IJAF Pilot gave one final warning to the Tu-95 that it is now violating Japanese Air Space and for it to change its heading or it will be shot down. The Tu-95 finally listened to the last warning and exited Japanese Air Space.

Russia’s recent comments especially from a member of parliament about the nuclear annihilation of Japan and then flying a nuclear-capable Tu-95 bomber in Japanese Air Space is threatening. Japan remains committed to peace but it is ready to defend its sovereignty and people against unwarranted aggression.

Greetings,

Through myself, the Slavic Rhodesian Department of War Export Division (SRDoWED) wishes to extend a warm thank you to the Ottoman Empire for its sizeable arms sales purchase. As a show of appreciation for the business, we’ll be including some one thousand AK-74u combat rifles in your shipment. These weapons will be shipped separately via a private forwarding company to a third party company in the Ottoman Empire for the sake of timely delivery of arms as to be able to deny any involvement on either of our sides. These weapons will have no serial numbers and new gun barrels, meaning they cannot be traced to either of us. We understand you folks have some issues you’d like to take care of but don’t want to get your hands dirty, we understand and appreciate this. We are happy to help in your endeavors in what capacity we can.

Regards,

1950

As King Edward VIII drifted back into sleep after his nap at Balmoral Castle, his mind wandered into the realm of dreams once again. This time, a vivid and curious vision unfolded before him—a boy named Callum, with eyes that sparkled like emeralds and a smile that lit up the world around him.

In the dream, King Edward VIII found himself in a bustling marketplace, surrounded by the sights and sounds of a vibrant community. Among the throngs of people, his gaze was drawn to a young boy playing with a wooden toy, his laughter ringing out joyously.

The king observed Callum with a sense of fascination, though he initially thought nothing of the dream upon waking. It seemed like a whimsical creation of his subconscious, a fleeting moment of imagination woven into the fabric of sleep.

However, as the days passed, the image of Callum lingered in King Edward VIII's mind, like a puzzle waiting to be solved. He found himself pondering the significance of the dream, wondering if there was a deeper meaning behind the vision of the joyful boy.

Seeking clarity, King Edward VIII confided in his trusted advisors about the dream of Callum. To his surprise, one of his advisors shared an intriguing insight. "Your Majesty, sometimes dreams offer glimpses into the essence of our humanity," the advisor remarked. "Perhaps Callum represents the innocence and hope that we must nurture in our society."

The king pondered these words, realizing that there was indeed a profound message embedded in the dream. Callum symbolized the future generations of the kingdom, embodying the potential for positivity, resilience, and unity.

Determined to honor the message of the dream, King Edward VIII initiated educational and social programs aimed at empowering young people like Callum. He emphasized the importance of providing opportunities for education, creativity, and personal growth, ensuring that the youth of the kingdom could thrive and contribute to a brighter future.

In time, the dream of Callum became a guiding beacon for King Edward VIII's reign, reminding him of the intrinsic value of every individual and the responsibility to cultivate a nurturing environment for generations to come.

And so, from a fleeting dream in the peaceful surroundings of Balmoral Castle emerged a lasting commitment to inspire and uplift the youth of the United Kingdom, fueled by the simple yet profound image of a boy named Callum.

Mystery Boom Heard Across Yorkshire Startles Residents

Yorkshire, UK - Late last evening, residents across Yorkshire were startled by a mysterious loud boom that echoed across the region. Reports of the noise began flooding local police stations and social media platforms around 11 PM, with individuals from Leeds to Sheffield describing the sound as "a sudden and deep explosion that shook the windows."

Meteorologists and local authorities are investigating the phenomenon, which did not coincide with any planned events or known industrial activities. Speculations about the cause include a sonic boom from a jet or a small meteorite entering the earth's atmosphere. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence has confirmed that there were no military aircraft in the area capable of producing a sonic boom at the reported time.

Seismologists from the University of Leeds have ruled out an earthquake, noting that no seismic activities were recorded during the time of the incident. The story is still developing, and officials are urging anyone with additional information or footage of the event to come forward to assist with the investigation.

Anti-refugee violence skyrockets, sparking riots in Boa Vista
Over 50 killed in deadliest ethnic conflict in recent history

56 people have been killed and another 100 injured after riots, spurred on by boiling tensions between locals and Venezuelan refugees, struck the capital of Roraima.

The Brazilian Restoration and Salvation Council (BRSC) have characterized the events as "Brazil's worst incident of ethnic conflict in recent history" and are calling for calm.

The violence reportedly occurred when a local shopkeeper accused a Venezuelan refugee of shoplifting and locked him in the store. There, he was continually beaten for over ten minutes before being hospitalized for fractures and internal bleeding. The refugee, aged 22, later passed away on the operating table due to the severity of injuries.

The shopkeeper was later subject to reprisal when he was necklaced mob of masked individuals and set alight. Police officers who responded to the extrajudicial execution were pelted by missiles and attacked. Looting and rioting began in earnest not long after.

The unrest, initially confined to the western suburbs of the city, eventually spread to the central business district (CBD). Shocking images of bystanders being pulled out of their cars and beaten, buildings being set on fire, and houses being looted spread like wildfire on social media, prompting further panic as violence intensified throughout the night.

The Polícia Militar de Roraima was activated to reinforce the civil police, who had been overwhelmed by the speed at which the situation developed.

Flights at the Aeroporto Internacional de Boa Vista were cancelled and diverted after rioters shone lasers at plane cockpits.

The nearby air force base was placed on high alert. A car was shot at after it attempted to blast through the base's front gates, killing the driver and injuring the passenger. The passenger is under military custody as of the time of writing.

The violence gradually petered out the next morning.

89 have been arrested and may face charges for rioting and other public order offences.

Some Undisclosed Cyprus Port

Secret Meeting

The government of the Ottoman Empire had been quietly plotting for months, seeking to sow discord and chaos within the neighboring nation of Greece-Cyprus. They began arming various groups and mafia within Greece-Cyprus with AK-74u rifles which it has secretly acquired from Swowianska Rodezja earlier , hoping to incite violence and unrest that would ultimately lead to protests against the government of Cyprus.

As tensions in Cyprus are expected to rise, the Ottoman government expects the society is going to be even more divided, with different factions armed and ready to fight against each other. Seeing an opportunity to further destabilise southern Cyprus was very important for the Ottoman State as it meant more influence on the island nation.
After Cyprus is engulfed in chaos, the Ottoman goverment plans to announce that they were willing to provide support and assistance to the Cypriot to achieve peace in the East Mediterranean. They promised weapons, training, and financial aid to those who were in need of help.

As the situation continues to escalate, it became clear that the Ottoman Empire's ultimate goal was not just cause chaos and division in southern Cyprus, but to gain a complete control over their neighboring island nation to achieve the dreams of Unified Turan. And they would stop at nothing to achieve it.

Back to Regular news: Ottoman Empire Warns Against Increasing Militarisation of Cyprus

The Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a stern warning to other countries, urging them not to escalate the situation by providing more aid to the nation of Greece-Cyprus. In a statement released today, officials emphasised that any further militarisation of Cyprus would not be tolerated.

Istanbul has made it clear that it will have to respond if militarisation of the island nation does occur as it will be viewed as a threat to Ottoman security, although the specific actions were not detailed in the statement, it was clear which nations are involved. The Ottoman Empire is urging all parties involved to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the ongoing tensions in the region.
Istanbul strongly suggests that the goverment of Greece-Cyprus declines further militarisation of the island for the common good of the region.

Ottoman Empire's warning serves as a reminder of the delicate balance in the region and the need for all parties to act responsibly to prevent further conflict.

=-= THE BIRTH OF MANY POLITICAL PARTIES =-=
Date: 25/04/2024.

What's happening?

In the past, prior to changing it's political structure, Adwilaur was a Non-Partisan Republic. This meant that all candidates stood as independents, without the backing of political groups and/or parties. With the newest changes, however, the government failed to update the laws regarding the Non-Partisan nature of Adwilaur's system. Due to this, political parties are now legal, and people have quickly taken this opportunity to come together and form political groups with their peers who share common goals and ideas. With the new system, there came new elections to the APA, as well as elections to the new Presidential roles. It's no surprise, therefore, that political parties now hold considerable sway within the system! Independents, however, still hold a lot of power.

What are the new political parties then?

As far as new parties are concerned, two big ones have begun to dominate the scene. These are the Progress Party (PP) and the Communist Party (CP). Conservatives and those who lean to the right within the nation have also founded the Adwilaurian Conservative Party.

The Progress Party is the biggest political party, in terms of representatives in the APA and membership. It broadly supports the current political and economic structure of Adwilaur, embracing the recent political reforms and continuing with the current regulated market/mixed Socialist path. It also supports further democratic reforms, claiming support for things such as citizens' assemblies.

The Communist Party is the second largest political party, in terms of representatives in the APA and membership. Like the Progress Party, it also supports Socialism. However, the Socialism of the Communist Party is one of a Democratically Planned Economy. It desires to see public ownership, through the government or another representative body, over all the means of production. It's official end goal is a classless and moneyless society.

The Adwilaurian Conservative Party is the third largest party, in terms of both representatives in the APA and membership. Compared to both the Progress Party and the Communist Party, it's quite small. However, it serves as an opposition party to both of them. It calls for the government to intervene less in the economy, and wants private ownership over the means of production to be legalised. It calls for a stronger state in certain aspects, especially in terms of defense.

In addition to these three parties, there are numerous smaller parties which have popped up within the nation. Some examples include: The Green Party of Adwilaur, Adwilaur First, The Libertarian League, The Middle-Ground Party, The Social Democratic Alliance, and the Liberal Group.

The Presidents and their parties?

As for the newly elected Presidents, there are two who belong to political parties, and one who stands as an independent. These are: President Otmar Blanka, President Helena Radoslav, and Prime President Pipar Laurus.

President Otmar Blanka belongs to the Communist Party, and is a staunch advocate for public ownership. President Helena Radoslav is an independent, but generally agrees with the views of the Progress Party. And Prime President Pipar Laurus is a member of the Progress Party.

          ~~ 北京国际汽车展览会 ~~

Topic: Auto China

Beijing — The Beijing International Automotive Exhibition (also known as Auto China) kicked off yesterday at the New China International Exhibition Center. The event, which lasts until May 4, gave an opportunity to a number of Chinese automakers to demonstrate their advances in their line of products. New electric vehicles (NEV) took the spotlight as the country accelerates its transition towards hybrids and full electric vehicles. In this front, electric vehicles accounted for as much as 50% of cars sold in China in the last year. This is a milestone that underscores the importance that the Central Government has placed in reducing pollution, developing the EV industry in the country and creating a new pillar of growth for the future.

As a matter of fact, the electric vehicle sector in China is so developed that there's a protracted price war happening among car manufacturers, which will likely lead to the consolidation of the industry into a few, major titans. Some major players include BYD (which is neck to neck with Tesla as the largest EV manufacturer), NIO (mostly focusing on luxury EVs), Huawei’s Aito, Li Auto, and a recently new joiner, Xiaomi (which, just like Huawei, is a well-known smartphone manufacturer). At this year's event, around 278 new energy vehicles will go on display, which is 7 more than last year - evidence of the thriving industry in China. Likewise, these automakers (just like Tesla) have started to focus more and more on smart driving, where there's increasing competition among the major players to dominate this field within the Chinese market.

BP and Shell granted oil and gas concession - production to start in 3 years
Namibian reserves 'at least 11bn barrels'

The United British Kingdom companies BP and Shell have been granted a 25 year concession for oil and gas exploration in the Walvis Basin oil field. Around 11bn barrels of crude are expected to commercially exploitable in this area.

The 25-year concession includes profit and risk share, local employment and training opportunities, and new facilities at Walvis Bay which include a technical training college and large oil terminal.

The announcement came after a conference in Windhoek which brought together close to 800 policymakers, energy stakeholders, investors, and international partners to foster industry growth and position Namibia as a prime investment destination.

Seka nTwikeni, CEO of the NGO 'ZADEV' (Zuid Afrika Development), the host of the conference, said the aim of the conference was to transform the abundant possibilities of Namibia’s energy rich nation into tangible benefits for all.

“Tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today. It speaks to the resilience within us. We look forward to a future where Namibia and the wider UZA emerges as a beacon for prosperity in the energy landscape,” said nTwikeni.

First commercial oil deliveries are due in three years, with a planned output of 380,000 b/d output in ten. Around a third of the oil will be sold domestically, but at market rate to maintain a positive balance of payments. Namibia may in the future be able to produce around 3mn barrels a day (3).

      Heatwave Grips Greater United Bangla: Schools Closed, Citizens Urged to Take Precautions

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Greater United Bangla is currently in the throes of an intense heatwave, part of a wider phenomenon affecting South and Southeast Asia. Reports indicate that temperatures have soared to unprecedented levels, with some areas experiencing temperatures exceeding 42 degrees Celsius, leading to disruptions in daily life and concerns for public health.

    This surge in temperatures underscores the global community's failure to meet climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement. Despite efforts to limit temperature increases to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the world has already surpassed the 1.5-degree mark, highlighting the urgent need for collective action on climate change.

    The impact of this heatwave has been severe, forcing the closure of primary schools, high schools, and colleges across Greater United Bangla. In a notice issued by Health and Social Welfare Minister Bir Uttam Former Major Aminul Haque, it was announced that these institutions will remain closed temporarily to safeguard the health and well-being of students and staff.

    Additionally, universities will transition to online classes to ensure continuity of education while protecting individuals from the extreme heat.

    The Ministry of Meteorological Department has warned of increased discomfort due to rising humidity levels, which could exacerbate health risks such as heat strokes. Citizens are urged to take precautions, including staying hydrated, avoiding outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and seeking medical attention if symptoms of heat-related illnesses occur. Furthermore, people engaged in outdoor activities or labor-intensive work are advised to take regular breaks and prioritize their well-being. Additionally Keep pets and livestock in shaded areas with access to water.

    Critics have pointed out the need for more proactive measures from the government to mitigate the impact of heatwaves, such as increased investment in climate-resilient infrastructure and public health initiatives. Long-term strategies focusing on climate resilience and adaptation are essential to address recurring heatwaves and their associated challenges. They emphasize that urgent actions are required to mitigate the impact of rising temperatures, including improved urban planning, green infrastructure, and increased awareness about heat-related risks.

    In a bid to bolster public health, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare is collaborating closely with local authorities to provide relief and ensure access to medical care for those affected by heat-related illnesses. The Minister of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid had said that "Efforts are underway to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, particularly in areas prone to power outages, to support cooling systems and provide relief from extreme heat."

    The ongoing heatwave presents a significant challenge for Bangla and neighbouring regions. By adopting collective responsibility and following recommended precautions, we can mitigate the impact of this environmental crisis and safeguard the well-being of our communities.

    Stay tuned to Hajibang News for further updates and guidance on navigating the heatwave.

Back to Regular news: Ottoman Empire Warns Against Increasing Militarisation of Cyprus

The Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a stern warning to other countries, urging them not to escalate the situation by providing more aid to the nation of Greece-Cyprus. In a statement released today, officials emphasised that any further militarisation of Cyprus would not be tolerated.

Istanbul has made it clear that it will have to respond if militarisation of the island nation does occur as it will be viewed as a threat to Ottoman security, although the specific actions were not detailed in the statement, it was clear which nations are involved. The Ottoman Empire is urging all parties involved to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the ongoing tensions in the region.
Istanbul strongly suggests that the goverment of Greece-Cyprus declines further militarisation of the island for the common good of the region.

Ottoman Empire's warning serves as a reminder of the delicate balance in the region and the need for all parties to act responsibly to prevent further conflict.

Statement by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence

The United Kingdom reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the security and sovereignty of our overseas territories, including our bases in Cyprus. The UK's stance is resolute—we will not shy away from fulfilling our responsibilities to our allies and territories under any circumstances.

The recent shipment of defensive arms to Cyprus, comprising small arms and anti-air equipment, is a measure strictly intended to bolster the defensive capabilities of Cyprus in accordance with our bilateral agreements and international law. This action is in no way an escalation, but a necessary step to ensure the safety and stability of the region.

The UK calls for dialogue and diplomatic efforts to address the underlying tensions in the region. However, we must also prepare for all contingencies to protect our interests and those of our allies. The United Kingdom will not be deterred by warnings that seek to undermine our legitimate and sovereign actions. We urge the Ottoman Empire to respect the sovereignty of Cyprus and to contribute constructively to regional stability.

The UK remains committed to working with all parties to achieve a peaceful resolution, but we will not compromise on the security of our territories or fail in our commitments to our allies.

Violent Protests and Arrests in Sindhdesh: Military Deployed to Restore Order

Date: 26/04/2024

Sindhdesh is facing a crisis as violent protests erupted today, resulting in the arrest of several members of the student union and the deployment of military forces to restore order. The protests, led by student activists, escalated into chaotic scenes of unrest and disorder, prompting swift government action to contain the situation. The protests, organized by members of the student union in response to perceived grievances and demands for reform, quickly turned violent as demonstrators clashed with law enforcement authorities and engaged in acts of vandalism and disruption. Riot police were deployed to disperse the crowds, resulting in multiple arrests of protesters involved in the disturbances.

In an unprecedented move, the government has authorized the deployment of military forces to assist in restoring peace and stability in the affected areas. Military personnel have been tasked with maintaining public order, protecting critical infrastructure, and ensuring the safety of citizens amid the escalating unrest.

The deployment of military forces underscores the gravity of the situation and the government's determination to restore calm and stability in Sindhdesh. Civil society organizations and human rights advocates have expressed concern about the use of military force to quell civil unrest and have called for dialogue and peaceful resolution of grievances. As tensions remain high, the people of Sindhdesh await further developments and hope for a swift resolution to the crisis that has gripped the nation.

-Empire of Japan- wrote:NHK Daily - Russian Violation of Japanese Air Space

According to the Ministry of Defense yesterday around 2:00am Japanese Standard Time a nuclear capable Tu-95 part of the 73rd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment and operating out of Russian Air Force Base Ukrainka violated Japanese Air Space off the coast of Karafuto.

The Tu-95 was detected and 5 F-35’s of the Imperial Japanese Air Force intercepted the plane as it approached Japan’s air space.

The F-35’s transmitted several warnings to the Tu-95 that it was approaching Japanese air space and to change its heading. The Tu-95 failed to listen to the warnings and it eventually reached Japanese Air Space violating it.

As the Tu-95 failed to listen to the warnings an Imperial Japanese Air Force (IJAF) F-35 pulled alongside to the head of the plane opening its internal weapon bay showing air-to-air missiles. The IJAF Pilot gave one final warning to the Tu-95 that it is now violating Japanese Air Space and for it to change its heading or it will be shot down. The Tu-95 finally listened to the last warning and exited Japanese Air Space.

Russia’s recent comments especially from a member of parliament about the nuclear annihilation of Japan and then flying a nuclear-capable Tu-95 bomber in Japanese Air Space is threatening. Japan remains committed to peace but it is ready to defend its sovereignty and people against unwarranted aggression.

Foreign Ministry
"The United Kingdom stands resolutely with our ally, Japan, in response to the recent violation of its airspace by a Russian Tu-95 bomber. Such actions are not only reckless but also undermine the principles of sovereignty and international security. As a member of the Collective Security Entente, we affirm our commitment to upholding these principles and supporting our allies in the face of such unwarranted aggression. We urge Russia to adhere to international norms and refrain from further provocations that could lead to an escalation of tensions."

Failed Coup Attempt

ISTANBUL - A major coup attempt was made last night with the Ottoman Empire witnessing one of the bloodiest coup attempts in its political history last night when an anti monarchy section of the Ottoman military launched a coordinated operation in several major cities to topple the government and unseat Sultan Orhan II.

Separatist soldiers and tanks took to the streets and numerous explosions were heard in Ankara and Istanbul.

Ottoman fighter jets fired missiles at their own parliament building, while the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Yilmaz Demirkol, was kidnapped by his own security team.

At first, it looked like the Ottoman State was going to face another devastating military coup.

But as the news of the coup attempt spread via social media, thousands of ordinary citizens, armed with kitchen utensils and sticks, gathered in streets and squares around the Empire to resist the separatist Army faction.

The crowds stood firm in the way of tanks and air bombardments and with the help of police forces and loyalist soldiers, they put an end to the coup attempt in a matter of hours. The government declared swift victory and numerous groups and units of anti-goverment troops, that had taken part in the coup, surrendered on the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul.

2,304 others were injured.

Perpertrators of the Coup

The Ottoman government blames the failed coup attempt on Demir Turgut, a former 4-star General of the Army.

The separatist Army general is accused of treason and is wanted by the Ottoman Supreme Court. The general and his clique were disenchanted with the current monarchical order and were inspired by the military coup which has happened earlier in Misr Alkubraa

The separatist general wanted to overthrow the royal dynasty and wanted to establish a new republic. But unlike what happaned in Egypt, the Ottoman coup attempt was unsuccessful thanks to the swift reaction by the authorities and the devotion of the people.

Despite Fallout w/ Japan, Naval Modernization Continues

The recently retired Godavari-class heavy missile frigates from the Indian Navy have been sold to the Slavic Rhodesian Navy for some PĄZ3B (USD300M). The two naval vessels will take a year (IRL 52 days) to transfer to the Slavic Rhodesian Navy and the government of Slavic Rhodesia has agreed with the government of India for supplemental training for new sailors for some PĄZ50M (USD$5M). Between the training assistance of both The United British Kingdom and Indhiya, Slavic Rhodesia looks to graduate two thousand cadets per annum for at least two next four years (IRP 52/104/156/208 days). The SRDoW and the SRDoNID wishes to extend the upmost gratitude to our commonwealth compatriots and allies.

S.R. Acquires Four LCS Vessel, Artillery Shells

The SRDoN and SRDoA have made purchases equating to PĄZ11B (USD$1.1B). The SRDoN purchased four (4) Freedom class littoral combat ships which the United States had previously retired for some PĄZ1B (USD$100M) per unit. The SRDoA has procured one million artillery shells in both 105 mm and 155 mm sizes with costs some PĄZ7B (USD$700M). The SRDoW, SRDoNID and SRDoAID wish to extend the upmost gratitude to our ally in the United States (Imperial Eagle).

S.R. Ends Short Lived Chemical Weapons Program

In a private international commotion against the controversial chemical weapons program in Slavic Rhodesia, at the threat of further alienation and sanctions, the government has decided to cancel the program to focus on more conventional arms programs. The United Kingdom (The United British Kingdom) has made a commitment to Slavic Rhodesia to acquire and destroy the chemical weapons for some PĄZ30B (USD$3B). The government has agreed to immediately cease all operations in any aspects related to the acquisition, manufacture and storage of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Per the United Kingdom, the commonwealth nation will receive assistance in return for surrendering its weapons of mass destruction and ceasing its program.

Religious Apartheid Ends, Apartheid State Officially Dead

The ruling from Supreme Court lead by Justice Korneliusz Duda has had reverberating ramifications across Slavic Rhodesia, and we here at The Commonwealth’s Column think that the abolition of religious apartheid is long overdue. The issue at hand was the infamous and now unconstitutional “Containment of Dangerous Beliefs Act,” which was made null in recent weeks. Currently, it looks like Elderman Duda will retire from the bench to run for the office of the president. Currently, he’s suggested the different prospective justices for promotion, all three candidates are considered in affiliation with more left leaning parties. The foremost individual, Ms. Katarzyna Kowal, 53, is a former university professor of law who was elected to judgeship some ten years ago.

Official Diplomatic Correspondence to the Ottoman Empire
المراسلات الدبلوماسية الرسمية مع الدولة العثمانية

Ambassador Kaya,

I extend my sincerest condolences and heartfelt sympathies on behalf of the Egyptian government to the The Turkic State and its people in light of the recent unfortunate events that have unfolded within your borders. The attempted coup d'état, which regrettably resulted in the injury of thousands, stands as a grave affront to the principles of order, stability, and sovereignty that both our nations hold dear. It is with great concern and dismay that we witness such brazen acts of insurrection and violence perpetrated against the rightful authority of the imperial government.

Egypt stands firmly in solidarity with the The Turkic State during this challenging time, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to the preservation of law, order, and constitutional governance. We condemn in the strongest terms the actions of those who sought to subvert the legitimate authority of the Ottoman government, understanding fully that such endeavors lack the mandate and support of the populace they claim to represent.

Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.

Sincerely,

Hany El-Molla
Ambassador of the Republic of Egypt to the Ottoman Empire
Embassy of the Republic of Egypt to the Ottoman Empire
