Omani and Saudi aggressors backed by Western Imperialists Malakabel Journal - 01st May 2017 Fellow countrymen, our beloved Malakbel is once more under attack from our untrustworthy neighbors. As if the Saudis weren’t problematic enough with their ridiculous taxing of our oil and the unwillingness to renegotiate the pipeline treaty, the Omanis have revealed their true colors by attacking one of our precious few oil trains after it crossed the border. Oman has denied committing this heinous crime. Despite offering concessions, they've refused to provide access to one of their ports for this “costly accident”, as Oman likes to call the destruction of the train on their soil. This is despite proof uncovered by our heroic Leopard commandos that shows Omani munitions were used in the attack. Adding to their ever growing hatred for Malakabel, the illegitimate Omani government refuses to renegotiate the pipeline treaty, which bleeds our people dry for the fruits of our labor. The bleating sheep Qaboos bin Mahmoud al Fatah would rather not have dealings with Malakabel after what he calls an "assassination attempt" on their ambassador. We've told the deputy prime minister that there was no attempt on his ambassador's life, and the criminals who tried to mug him are being searched for at this very moment. Oman is the same country that claims we are unqualified to build our portion of the pipeline in our country. They insist that we allow them to come build it for us! A motion that the disjointed Emirates and the oppressive Saudis have agreed to be reasonable given our lack of “expertise”. These same countries have tried to bully and intimidate us with the possibility of moving the pipeline around Malakabel if we do not stop trying to renegotiate the terms of this unfair treaty! A change we know they cannot afford. This treaty will do more harm than good, having outsiders come build the pipeline in our stead will take much needed jobs from our people and the taxes imposed on the usage of this pipeline would make not benefit us the same way it would others. Saudi Arabia and Oman threaten that they will “intervene” to safeguard their best interests. The United States, ever so ready to destroy a democracy, has backed them. Oman has placed their troops, backed with foreign aggressors, along our safe and peaceful border. Prime Minister Omar addresses oil workers affected by the crisis. Prime Minister Khalid Omar has spoken to the public: "Dear countrymen of Malakabel, heed my calls for action! Malakabel needs you to stand strong against these liars and cheats! They are unjust in their demands, and at this very moment are attempting to annex our peaceful democracy. They work tirelessly to hurt their fellow Arab, using shameless tactics like starving our people, taxing our goods and making us look like terrorists. We are in fact the victims. The victim of foreign aggressors nearby and abroad. The infidels in the West have the pretension to order us to stand down, but they are ignorant to interfere with what they don’t understand. These Westerners, led by the Americans, only care about one thing: oil. Right now our heroic and blessed troops have been mobilized to defend us from Omani aggression. Malakabel will not tolerate this insolence any longer, If the Western imperialists dare to come to our soil we shall show them no mercy! In these dark times, I ask you to remember the words embroidered on our national seal: Praise be to God, for Malakabel shall prevail." Amadi Ibn-Musa for the Malakabel Journal.

BREAKING NEWS: MARINES COME UNDER ARTILLERY FIRE IN OMAN Globe and Anchor -- 30APR17 IBRI, Oman -- Just past sundown this evening, Omani bases along the Malakabel frontier came under artillery fire from across the border. Omani troops responded with a reciprocal amount of artillery fire, as taught by U.S. and British military advisors. While it’s currently unclear who started the exchange, most fingers point to Malakabel. As part of this exchange, U.S. Marines, as well as members of the other services, forward staged to bases across the border came under indirect fire. Fortunately, according to USCENTCOM deputy commander LTGEN James Simms, USAF, no casualties are reported at this time. Marines move to cover after a round of artillery shells strike their firebase. “It looks like all SOPs and ROEs were followed at this time” said USCENTCOM, “But we have nothing further to report.” The Pentagon deferred all comment to a press conference scheduled for later in the day. The Marines are in the region to dissuade aggression from Malakabel, a small nation wedged between Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, all partners of the U.S. on regional security.

Parliament Hung Up on Increased Military Spending The Daily Times - 30th April 2017 With recent conflicts across the globe and a plague of cyber security breaches over the past 6 months, talks have been brewing on increasing the Ministry of Defense (MoD) budget. Funds added will help the creation of a new Army mechanized brigade, acquisitions of ships and aircraft for the Royal Navy and Air Force, and expanding Britain’s cyber warfare capabilities. Currently, the MoD budget is £43.7 Billion annually. The budget hasn't increased significantly in the past nine years. If Parliament passes the new budget, funding will be increased to £65.7 billion annually by 2022. “Nothing is more important than defending our country and protecting our people. With the recent conflict in the Pacific, and tensions brewing the world over, we have chosen to try to increase defence spendings and give our Armed Forces what they need to keep Britain safe for the future” - Defence Minister Oliver Weatherholt Most Members of Parliament are still unsure, unsure of whether it’s politically viable to support the measure just yet. Some insist that it is necessary, but plenty of Britons feel it's unimportant during this time of peace in the world. Most feel the money could go somewhere else to have a greater impact on the country as a whole than to increasing the MoDs funds. On the other hand, both Prime Minister and the Defense Minister have gone public about this issue, throwing their full support behind it. Hawkish MPs say this is all the proof the public needs to see the budget must be increased. British troops conducting overseas peacekeeping could be a much more common sight after a budget increase. While Parliament debates the measure, the MoD has submitted a full capabilities report before and after such an increase. Beyond the headline measures of new brigades, ships, planes and computer capabilities, funding would also allow the British Armed Forces to commit to more international peacekeeping measures. Further, the British Army could start more Foreign Internal Defense missions abroad . British Army Land Forces HQ in Andover, where the report was compiled. Our polling on the matter indicates a soft divide in the population, where around 25% of the population feels the funding is “strongly or somewhat needed”, 30% feels it’s “somewhat or very unneeded”, around 45% feels typically British about the issue, saying “Not sure/don’t care”. “I just want to feel safe, and I guess I already do” said one respondent from Birmingham. “We already have quite the military, but I imagine more wouldn’t hurt” said another from London. Proponents say that this “Don’t care” category of voters will find more funding appealing in the end, wanting to support the military, but detractors still argue that they’d rather the money spent on something closer to home.
