Conflicting reports are coming in from NW Yer Bouti.
The local Gendarmerie in the North say there is a small disturbance with a fire set at the local police building.
AP is reporting several municipal buildings have been taken over and the police compound is burnt down.
A post online from Tat Twin Shows two YB National Guard BMP's on the streets.

UPI...
Recon flights aborted.....The Commonwealth of of Chrisdom sent several sorties of recon to assess the situation in Yoi Bouti and the another town just a few miles inland, it is primarily Coal Mining town. Uranis with a population in the range of 50,000 people with some 5000 people in the coal mining industry. Reports of violence and civil strife there.
The stories were recalled because of a series of violent electrical storms. One bolt of lighting het a P-2 which lost all power about 1.5 hours ago. Rescue ships are searching the area and distress beckons have been detected. There is no evidence or indication of sabotage. The Inspector General of the Air Ministry is beginning an investigation to the cause and remedy of the crash and loss of the aircraft.
Several other sorties were recalled based upon the unique storm in the Med.

Chris,
Sorry about the loss of your P-2. Could well be a fatigue problem, it is a 70 year old design after all. Even the last Japanese produced turbine versions should only be flying with museums.
CofC needs to move on to P3's at the very least, better still a P8 or another modern airframe.
Balzac Aerospace may be able to help out.

All the mining assets in that Northern Yer Bouti boarder area seem to be flowing out to the North. Whats that Country? AL TUN CO or something. The porous boarders are a major problem for this region.
Yer Bouti's control over the tribal lands has always been tenuous. Outside the capital and immediate coastal areas, it's cowboy Country!

Yer Bouti Media reporting Football fans on the rampage in the boarder town of Tat Twin and police have the situation under control. "Nothing to see here."
Social media reporting police and government forces fled the town talking casualties.

YBNG heading North in a hurry!

The Commonwealth of Chrisdom announces the acquisition of 6 P-3 Orion aircraft since we lost a P-2 a week ago. Other P-2 were not able to perform their patrol duties. MP Smyth, in Parliament complained of the waste of resources maintaining the P-2 program that last 10-15 years.
The P-3 were scheduled to be decommissioned from the US Navy this summer, but were flown to the US base in the Berlic Island in the Mediterranean Sea. The air and maintenance crews from the P-2 where immediately transported to learn train on and learn how to care for the plane. Other members were flown to NAS Jacksonville in Florida for further training on the P-3. It was announced that further decommissioning of P-3 may be sold to the Commonwealth.
A C=130 has taken off for recon of Yer Bouti patrol, which is a long range cargo and transport air craft. It has served as an AC-130, but with all weapon removed, but to allow information gathering and assessment.

For Pete's sake, everybody close your blackout curtains! The C of C is peeking at Yer Bouti.

On behalf of the GatorNation, the Commonwealth is in search of any M551 that may be operational, including parts. I am sure that the GatorNation could tell me where they may be warehoused in our facilities. The leadership knows more of what is happening in the world than any other I-magi-Nation.

The Gator State only knows what you publish in your press releases. You provide all the information we require.

Thank you for your efforts on our behalf to procure surplus M551s.

The Commonwealth is alway ready to help Nation States that are positive communities on the world stage. Granted we are concerned of The Gator Nation departing from the U.I.N. but the force structure to be provided is helpful in a conflict would not turn the tide of battle or provide an undue overwhelming force or capability.
The Department of International Delivery of Military Affairs and the UIN Tax Department will not assess any extra tax for the UIN World Peace Initiative.
The 10% Global Tax Proposal has bogged down in committee and sub-committee work. 3 Committee are considering the issue currently and 17 sub-committees are discussing it.

CNNN's The Wolf reports a breaking news story:
Syria is proposing a Global Tax upon countries in the world with a GDP of $500,000,000,000 ($500 billion). This is a starting point. If you have Domestic Return Rate of 5% or higher, you would contribute to the Global Economic Development (GED) Tax. Even though the tax rates have not been determined, estimated that only 10% of the Domestic Return Rate (DRR) above the 5% level will fund the GED Fund. Similar tax structure if based upon the scale of the economy. The Sudan, Madagascar, Georgia, North Korea, Laos, Nigeria, Yer Bouti are supporting this and Syria on this proposal.
.
It is expected that the Gator State will fight this tooth and nail, even though they are not active members of the UIN. They do not have a 'sitting Ambassador' at the UIN, nor is one expected.
.
France is only considering to support the GED based upon the DRR above 5.5%.

Press Release.

"Well, here we go again. The Gator State will NOT fight this tooth and nail. That would acknowledge some validity to the proposal. We have no representative to the UIN because we do not recognize its legitimacy. The Gator State simply will not tolerate ANY infringement of its sovereignty whatsoever. The UIN can go to hell. This tax BS is an illustration of why the GS refuses to join the UIN. It gives pi**ant little dictators pretentions to instruments enabling them to pirate the resources of others, when they could otherwise create a stable environment that would encourage a productive economy. Instead, they engage in activities that will simply keep them in power to the detriment of their own populations, and the UIN has no business granting them membership which couches their activities in a veil of legitimacy."

The People's Republic of G (PROG) vociferously opposes the proposed tax as a capitalist overreach of imperialist colonial powers pushing an agenda through puppet states (actually read with a straight face no less :lol: ). "We strongly oppose a tax imposed by foreign powers on our soveignty in clear violation of the UIN charter."

G, have you actually ever SEEN a copy of this charter? Seems to me the UIN is a product of Chrisdom imagination espoused solely to further the interests of CofC to cloak its acquisition of territory and influence to its own advantage. A tax would provide it even more resources to extend its power.

PROG holds a seat in the UIN by virtue of unwavering support from the U.S.S.R. despite opposition from western imperialist powers. We have not SEEN the charter but assume it's benign nature due to its support from the U.S.S.R. (and it's untranslated language is difficult to understand). Our newest five year plan expects to see improvements in defense spending due to the increasingly disturbed nature of international developments. We hope to retire the last of our beloved T-34s in favor of more modern hardware.

The Ambassador of the UIN from the Commonwealth, Joel Polit, PhD. announces that the Commonwealth is not in favor of the Global Tax, we would be subject to it and not benefit from it. Once and if a tax was instituted, the tax could be raised. We believe that the tax is not suitable, proper or legal.
The Commonwealth does not have a seat on the Big Council committe, the PROG sits on with help from Putinville.- USSR. The political game that PROG is trying to play out by misdirecting the source of the information, blaming the Commonwealth for the movement of the Global Tax is inaccurate. Look to Syria which initiated this proposal which has close ties to the USSR. The USSR has close, very close ties to PROG. Perhaps PROG is behind this. That is a more viable link. So look to Guroburov and the PROG.

The Republic of Dalmatia is vehemently opposed to such a task. We are often a less vocal member of the international community, but this tax crosses the line! We do prefer diplomacy to situations like this. We have a naval battlegroup headed for the Eastern Mediterranean to check on the County of Tripoli and we would be more than happy to discuss the proposal and our opposition to it with the Syrian government out on the deck of our battleship.
