Two weeks has passed and the Liberty Coalition had not yet made a motion to fund the Samgolan state. The [b]Samgola Dawn[/b] introduced the [b]National War Monuments Bill[/b] and the newest Member of the National Assembly, Ahmar Jurhen arrived in Kamidye to take on his duties in the legislature. The saddening fact that one in five Samgolans was without a job remained the sore point of the day, with nearly 24/7 news coverage. Among that, the [b]National Militias[/b] seemed poise to strike again, with rumors circulating that they had pulled back into neighboring [b]Nigeria[/b] to prepare for a cross border assault on Ziwa.

A [b]Fundraiser[/b] for the [b][color=crimson]Samgolan Technocratic Union[/color][/b] was successful, although the overall support for the party was still modest at best. In total, the [b]S.T.U[/b] raised nearly a quarter of a million Kamar ($264,000) into the Party Funds back in Kamidye. Similarly, MNA Jurhen gave a fiery speech on the issue of the National Militias in Ziwa, and the other Assembly members responses were pending.
