BREAKING NEWS: Slokais Island Embassy in Geminus Explodes
By Jacqueline Alton
The Slokaisian Embassy, located in Geminus's 4th district, exploded earlier this afternoon. We have reports that a remote explosive device was detonated in the Embassy bathrooms, causing a substantial amount of damage to the building. We have estimates that twenty-five people were killed in the blast, and thirty more were injured.
The Slokais Island Bureau of Investigation, The New Liverpool Police, The Geminus Municipal Police, and the Solar Guard Counterterrorism Taskforce have all launched investigations. The area around the embassy, near the center of Geminus's vibrant 4th District, has been blocked off pending further investigation.
We have reports that TALFL, the Eirian Authoritarian domestic terror organization, has claimed partial responsibility for the attack over social media and Propaganda broadcasts. We do not know who TALFL's reported co-conspirators are at this time, but we will publish more information as it becomes available to us.
Former Kerlian Dissident Speaks Out About Distrust of Kerlian Emigrants
By Lira Deacon
Although the Kerlian and Eirian governments are on the same side of the Xiomeran Civil War, that doesn't mean that the citizens of both nations are trusting or cooperative with each other. Sofia Brown, a former Kerlian Dissident and resident of New Riga, has recently spoken out about the mistreatment of Kerlians living in Eiria.
""I came to this country to get away from the culture of suspicion in Kerlile - where nobody can trust anyone, and suspicion is everywhere. But the way people look at me sometimes reminds me so much of that: of never being able to get close to anyone and I really wish things could change."
Brown is the President of the Kerlian-Eirian Resettlement Initiative, a nonprofit activist organization tasked with taking on the distrust and hatred of Kerlian Emigrants in Eiria. The Initiative, abbreviated "KERI", was founded in April, after the Aurora Scare casted shadows of doubt on all Kerlians living outside of Kerlile. Although they have recently picked up a slew of new members, numbering around two hundred, the group still lacks resources, and are asking for donations.
A small handful of celebrities and politicians have already come out and endorsed KERI. Amara Herrin, the famous Pop singer known for her catchy tunes and elaborate, themed outfits, said this in a social media post about KERI: "It's an amazing cause, one that you don't here about often. It's astounding how much prejudice we can overlook".
The Provirī also came out and made a statement regarding KERI yesterday. "Though the animosity between Eiria and Kerlile has lessened, and even though Sanctions were quietly lifted, the raw feelings still remain. It's honorable that Brown and the Initiative are working towards reducing the animosity."
