Terrorists and babies, that was the perfect start to a day as the Islamic Army managed to capture a nursery holding many infants and caretakers. Such a situation was delicate as the people made their demands clear, for a clear route to Nigeria. Unfortunately, attempting to clear them out might result in the slaughter of these minors, something they could not allow. With this in mind, the military would rather not take the chance, even if they were starving and had low ammunition. With that in mind however, it made the prospect of pushing in a lot more tempting, but they would have to be stealthy with how the army went about it.

The decision was made, the plan was made, a six man team would insert through a maintenance area while a negotiation was feigned. Another team would find an entrance through an unlocked window or roof if there was one. They would clear out the resistance quietly, alarm could not be raised until the last possible minute. The plan would take expert timing and perfect acting by the negotiator, but they could not allow themselves the chance to let these terrorists get what they wanted. They would take prisoners, valuable information could be extracted from them.

The Trial of Zan Mahol was a long and tenuous thing to say the least mainly lawyers loyal to the SD saying everything they could about how legal the SDSF truly was. The trial lasted a total of five hours before the jury was sent to decided upon the case where they spent an additional three hours to decide the fate of Mahol. Eventually, the Jury came back to the court and stated, “Zan Mahol is found guilty of breaking law thirty-seven, however he is not guilty of treason to the state,” the speaker told the courtroom, the lawyers for Mahol sighed in relief as this was the best possible outcome for the man.

“Very well, Zan Mahol, I sentence you to no more than five years in prison, but only three years with good behavior,” the judge said, before hitting his gavel down, “I find this trial adjourned.”

The Minister of Defense was glad to see that the Air Force was providing some much needed support for the ground forces in Ziwa. However the situation of Matutuke Air Force Base has definitely caught his eye, not wanting for the pilots to work under hazardous situations in their own air fields as well as wanting something that was more up-to-date, allowed the funds of just over two-million to be allocated to the air base. It would no doubt improve their ability to strike at the militia forces with ease.

The situation in Ziwa had remained light, but with two hundred militia forces ambushing and killing fifty of their men was something that would not go unnoticed. Minister Teleola implored the Prime Minister for the use of the Air Force to help them dispatch the enemy as well as gain an intelligence advantage over them. Much to his pleasure, Bassong agreed, so long as the targets were outside civilian settlements. Minister of Defense Teleola released a statement later in the day, “I have been informed the the military is allowed the use airstrikes against the Islamic Army in Ziwa. We will not target them in any civilian settlement however, but they will be dealt with and we will free the people of Ziwa from this threat. Those of you who are watching while under militia control, know that we are coming to save you, glory to Samgola!”

With the battles raging in Ziwa against the Islamic Army, individuals within Samgolan army began to distinguish themselves as true heroes for the nation. One such man was Corporal William Eteki, a man who had managed to hold off two repeated counter attacks at night with low ammunition. This action was worth merit, a reward was to be given to the soldier directly by the Minister of Defense when he flew out to meet some of the soldiers fighting there and try to boost morale.

The soldiers not on patrol gathered in the camp as an impromptu stage had been set up. Minister Teleola saluted to the men, they saluted back. Then the minister spoke, “We are gathered here to recognize an act of heroism and duty to the country,” he motioned to the corporal, “Corporal William Eteki held his position, knowing that he had low ammunition, and he forced back the Islamic Army two times. A true act of valor worth commending even if the fighting is light.” A soldier behind him presented the Minister with the Medal of Honor, the minister picked it up and stood in front of the corporal who stood at attention. The Minister pinned the medal to the soldier and turned back to the crowd who began applauding for the corporal. “Let us all strive to have the resolve Mr. Eteki showed! Let us show the Islamic Army what kind of men they are dealing with! True Samgolan men!”

The case of Zan Mahol v. Samgola, this was a true case with the a very high difficulty of sorting it into the court that would best deal with it. The debates between Provincial and The Kamidye First Circuit courts had been given as the case may have been politically motivated, though no clear evidence towards it was given, and it was regarding a national law. However, there was one fact that the case had that turned heads, both parties were interpreting the laws in different ways with Zan Mahol believing his ‘SDSF’ to purely be political activists and the Bassong Administration believing it to be a paramilitary force. It was this fact that made the decision, the fact that decided where it would be held; the State Court. The State Court, while dealing suits between two parties also dealt with law interpretation, meaning that Zan Mahol could very well make a case that he is within legal boundaries if his interpretation of the law was convincing enough.

The decision was made, the trial would take place in the State Court.

Decision

Zan Mahol v. Samgola assigned to State Court.

Given the first blunder of the Bureau of Justice sending the case to the wrong Court the first time, the people were a bit hesitant to allow the Samgolan Army an appeal given they had already lost some approval for messing up. It was no easy task to delegate these types of things to the correct court and mistakes were bound to happen, though the didn’t think they’d make a mistake this early on. There was some conversation on whether to allow the appeal or not, but fear of loading more overall support both for the Minister of Defense’s sake and their own, they rejected it. No appeal would be held.

At the same time, the Bureau of Justice knew that the Minister of Defense would attempt to sway the topic on party politics, they simply waited. It was no surprise to them when the Minister eventually attempted to plead with Ingwe to allow the appeal given they were both patriots and wanted that the glorious army would never do something like this on purpose. However, Mr. Gaza would not allow himself to allow the appeal on the notion of party lines, instead sending the Minister away empty handed. Even if the Army has done so without meaning to, they had to learn that doing such things was not okay.

Decision

Tehmari v. Samgolan Army, No appeal.

The case of Tehmari v. Samgolan Army was a rather simple case for the Bureau of Justice, but it was a case nonetheless. Local farmer in the province of Ziwa, Mr. Tehmari, was remaking reparations for the trampling of his crops by soldiers of the army. On the other end of the spectrum the soldiers stated that it had been the militias fault and not their own. It was clear that this case was not federal or provincial level as a) it was not a constitutional problem nor politically motivated to be in the Premier Court or the Kamidye 1st Circuit Court, respectively; and b) it was not a case regarding state laws. Ingwe Gaza, Minister of the Bureau, decided that the case was better left to the district courts of the state Mr. Tehmari is in.

Decision

Tehmari v. Samgolan Army is assigned to District Court

The members of the Samgolan Patriotic Party, votes in favor of the Freedom of Healthcare act. They gave no speech or statement on the topic, as they were simply voting on the topic at hand and they found it within their best interests as it was a liberal bill. However, The Minister of Defense was still in a rage over Zan Mahol’s ‘security force’ as it had been well over a week without a response on the subject. “Any paramilitary unit is an affront to our laws and if Zan Mahol does not disband it and confess that he was in the wrong, we will arrest him and drag him to court,” Oluwasegun stated earlier on the topic and his patience with the Samgolan Dawn’s party leader was running thin.

As the other parties passed their own proposals, debated, or break the law, The Samgolan Patriotic Party had been planning on ways to reduce the corruption of the police force. While there were many different methods to deal with it, the party thought it would be best to found a Bureau that would directly help the citizens being affected by this. Xirsi had stated to the National Assembly that the round of the Bureau was “necessary to helping preserve the rights of our citizens.” The Bureau was to employ lawyers to investigate police arrests and find any loopholes in laws or ambiguous laws that would be used in a malicious manner. “We believe that this will aid in the stabilization and the removal of corruption within the state.”

The Lawful Protection Bureau

Overview: 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 intitial cost will be $1,500,000.

Article I: 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]
