[center][h2]Crime in the Shu-Shu's[/h2][/center]
While providing home for nearly 80,000 people in and around Kamidye, the Shu-Shu's were being inhabited by some less than scrupulous characters. Those without the moral fortitude to go about their own business found the Shu-Shu's a viable hunting ground for easy pickings and a rather apparent absence of law enforcement--not out of intention but rather due to it's density and immediate size. With 60,000+ people living in a single, temporary district, most without permanent addresses, it was like finding a needle in a needle stack. There were those too who found the urban environment around the Shu-Shu as a sort of concrete jungle for their crime sprees and then escaping back into the Shu-Shu's. The Kamidye Metropolitan Police were overworked and stretched to the limit with a new 'district' assigned to them, the nicknamed [i]Black Hole[/i], where officers went in and came out exhausted, paranoid and tense. The Shu-Shu's were generally not violent, but instead were quickly filling with people capable of it.

Drugs, guns and prostitution were the trifecta. Smuggled out of Niger and into the Shu-Shu's--never was it easier to hide contraband and firearms than in a city of identical houses that had literally been erected overnight. Women who had been given a home but were still without work find work of a sort themselves, with authorities realizing that women were more likely to provide their service in exchange for goods or other services versus money. While the [u]Kamidye Metropolitan Police[/u] continue to cover the capitol, they find themselves being pulled into the Shu-Shu's surrounding the city more and more as crime there etches upward. An officer-involved shooting on a routine door to door check ends with one officer and three citizens dead, the three involved alleged drug runners out of Niger.

Most prominent in the Kamidye Shu-Shu's, Provincial police across the nation are reporting similar instances of crime in Shu-Shu's around the country, though given the density and size in Shu-Shu's in Ziwa and Dabrado, the effects are similarly smaller. These Shu-Shu's are quickly becoming interconnected communities and entire clandestine networks are being established to move guns and drugs and money between them as a form of black market.

The [b][color=crimson]Samgola Dawn[/color][/b] party visited the Kamidye Shu-Shu in mid July, giving a speech about his promises. During the speech a man threw an empty bottle at Zaya Kolin and shouted: "We want jobs not words!" The crowd surged forward and during the intermittent scuffle--captured on a camera strategically inserted to show Zaya's trip to the Shu-Shu revealed several security officials trampled while Zaya Kolin was escorted to his vehicle. "[i]JOBS NOT WORDS. JOBS NOT WORDS[/i]." Bricks and shoes were thrown at Kolin's vehicle as it left the Shu-Shu.

[hider=PROPOSALS][b][u]Election Fairness Act[/u][/b]
[u]Preamble:[/u] This act will make the National Assembly’s members be more evenly divided between the regions. So that focus doesn’t stay to the cities and distributed across the country. It further changes the way in which the President is decided, using just a simple majority in a single round election rather than a dual system.

[u]Article 1.[/u] The state would adopt a system in which equal representation, regardless of region population is implemented to decide how many seats are given.[Political]

[u]Article 2.[/u] The election for the Presidency will no longer be held in a two round draft, instead whichever president receives the most votes shall become the President.[/hider]
