[center][b][u][h2]Minor Skirmish in Ziwa[/h2][/u][/b][/center]
For weeks the [b]4th "Onige" Division[/b] patrolled. The National Militias had seemingly vanished. On November 19th, 1993 soldiers of Beka Platoon, 2nd Company, 11th Rifle Brigade responded to gunshots out Zumaya village in Northwest Ziwa. 56 soldiers and 2 Panhard VBL's deployed into the heavy brush and there encountered an unknown amount of enemy combatants. The three hour engagement entitled the [b]Battle of Zumaya[/b] ended with 11 Samgolan casualties and 46 of the Islamic Army dead or wounded. One of the two Panhard VBL's was disabled by an RPG round and summarily destroyed by Samgolan soldiers to prevent use by the enemy.

[center][h2][u][b]Labour Front Presents a Strong Case in Dabrado[/b][/u][/h2][/center]

Adrien Omehia, the Labour Front candidate did something no one else campaigning for the last Dabrado seat did: he brought friends. Entering Dabrado with one hundred activists, they did it the only fashion way: knocking on doors and talking to the locals. While the [b]Samgolan Patriotic Party[/b] member was also prominent, drawing a crowd of 4,500 to a rally in the city center; the raise between the two became apparent. It was without the young socialists and trade unionist where Adrian drew the biggest crowd himself--150 here, 370 here, 700 here, 1,500 on a sunny day outside the Local Constabulary. With the special election only three weeks away, one would be remiss to wonder aloud just how much money was being spent for a single seat.

[hider=Lawful Protection Bureau]
[b]Overview[/b]: This bill proposes the creation of the Lawful Protection Bureau whose sole purpose is to prevent unlawful arrests and try to find ambiguous laws or loopholes to protect the rights of the Samgolan citizens. It’s initial cost will be $1,500,000.

[u]Article I[/u]: The Lawful Protection Bureau will investigate any arrest to find if the arrest is unlawful or not. If the arrest is found unlawful and against the rights of the citizen, the citizen will be pardoned and the offending officer will be fined and/or fired. Another responsibility the Lawful Protection Bureau must do is find ambiguous laws as well as loopholes, and bring them to the attention of the National Assembly.[Liberty][/hider][/hider]
