Immigrants wait to be checked by Avelholi Customs to request for asylum visas at the Port of Katzir
Remaining Kingborough Oligarchy Families Escape to Avelhol


KATZIR- The imprisonment of Kingborough's Oligarchy leaders has sent the extended families of the Oligarchy members to search for a place to take refuge in. A majority of them chose to seek asylum in the small Republic of Avelhol, to the southwest of the Kingborough archipelago.

On Thursday morning, local fishermen reported a large cruise ship bearing the "old" Kingborough flag accompanied by a white flag sat off the coast of the Avelholi city of Katzir on the east coast. Avelhol Defense Forces confirm that at approximately 10:00, the Kingboroughian cruise ship, known as Luxury Waters, asked for permission to enter Avelholi waters, for it was bearing asylum seekers. The ADF confirmed the request and within the hour, the Luxury Waters was docked in Katzir's main port.

The asylum seekers were the rich families of the arrested Oligarchy from Kingborough. There were about 300 total passengers on the ship.

"We can't live in Kingborough anymore. They threw us out of power, it was only a matter of time before they took all of our money. We took what we could fit into the ten rooms we were individually allotted in the cruise ship, which is owned by one of the Oligarchy member's son. We chose to come to Avelhol, because we knew that it was a country that would allow us to leave in peace. The government of Avelhol has been long known as a capitalist nation in Ardem, and is an ally of a regional trading controller Millerainia. It seemed like the only logical choice." stated one man, wearing a monocle.

Not everyone had the same reasons for leaving Kingborough and seeking asylum in Avelhol.

"I have always loved going on holiday here in Avelhol. I love the beaches, the architecture and the women are hot!" a young man who was wearing a swimsuit said.

The Secretary of Foreign Relations Gabriel Shafir said that the Department of Foreign Relations was going to be working through the night to look through the asylum requests, the most Avelhol has seen in history.

In Avelhol, children under 16 are automatically given asylum if their parents are granted asylum. Asylum allows foreign nationals to escape their home countries for safety in Avelhol for 4 months. During that 4 months, asylum seekers will be able to apply for a permanent or temporary residency visa, which last 5 and 2 years respectively. It takes 1 year of residence to qualify for citizenship of Avelhol.

Local reactions to the influx of Kingborough oligarchical families are mixed.

"I believe that they deserve to be able to pursue a better life in Avelhol like we all have, despite their heritage or religion." said Avigail Erez, an accountant for a shipping corporation.

"No no no no! These people do not belong in Avelhol! They aren't even Avelist! Unless they mass-convert, I wouldn't even let them sit in our waters. Send them to Erina Isle, maybe they will take them." said Ofer Einav, a baker.

"They will boost our failing economy.. this is a gift from Ketiv. They have money, they will invest in our real-estate, our corporations, our stocks! How can this be bad? They will bring much needed help to Avelhol!" said Yoni Litvak, an economics student at the University of Katzir.

Until the Department of Foreign Relations processes all asylum requests, the families must stay on their luxury cruise ship, which has been allowed to port in Katzir for a month.

Bomb Explode in Several Avelholi Cities

Avelhol citizens were shocked today when bombings occurred in four cities around 9 am local time. A bus was bombed by a suicide bomber in Tel Jaffa, a car bomb exploded in a suburb of Yerushalayim and in Katzir, and a skyscraper was damaged by an explosion in the top floors in Penzik.

TEL JAFFA-
The day started off like any other work day. Commuters packed into the 8:30 am Gold Line Route bus in Tel Jaffa. The line goes all the way from Ramat Il Jaff to central Tel Jaffa, and it is usually full of people. As the bus approached a major intersection of Avenue A and 3rd Street, the bus exploded into flames. The first respondents from Avehol Emergency Services (AES) medical technicians that was driving down Avenue A. They tried to rescue as many of the 29 riders, but only rescued 8. The flames were too hot for the first respondents to go in without proper fire-retardant gear. The fire fighters of AES arrived minutes later, but all they could do was rescue bodies from the flames and put out the fire. The final death count is 21, including the driver. Officials are reviewing the security camera from the bus that was recovered by AES investigators. The suspected cause of the bombing has been labeled at terrorist activity.

PENZIK-
Shortly after the bombing of the bus in Tel Jaffa, as news broke nationwide, at 9:15 am residents heard a loud noise and debris falling from a skyscraper in the central business district of Penzik. In the Rosh Hanna Building, which hosts a regional office for Carpathian-based news network InfoNet, smoke was seen pouring out of the top windows of the office building, occupied by the Carpathian news site. The building was evacuated as were buildings in the area. 28 people are missing from the Carpathian company, and 20 people are missing from the offices of Avigail Bank below the Carpathian business. AES has released no word of cause, though terrorism has been suggested.

YERUSHALAYIM-
At 9:20 am today, in a business district of a Yerushalayim suburb of Il Horowika, a car blew up in front of a women's clothing store. AES has not confirmed the number of casualties or the reason behind the bomb.

KATZIR-
At 9:20 am today, a car exploded in a residential area on the coast of the port city of Katzir. AES has not confirmed any details of the bombing.



UPDATE: Avelholi officials have confirmed that the attacks are result of radical Thalamore terrorists.

Avelhol Erupts in Violence Following Terrorist Attacks;
Reinstated Monarchy By Majority Revolution


TEL JAFFA-Following yet another terrorist attack to the Republic of Avelhol, citizens became enraged with the current democratic government. The streets of major cities erupted into violence, occupying the office of the Prime Minister Kalanit Tzita as well as grinding the nation's other branches to a halt.

On the night of the terrorist attacks, a general consensus of Avelholis became evident, anger. Anger at the administration that has allowed over 30 terrorist attacks over the past 60 years of power. The older generations rose up and claimed that the nation was better off with a monarchy. Younger Avelholi, as form of custom, listen to their elders. This caused mass protests to begin to form over Avelhol, some near the sites of terrorism that morning. The word of the mass protests has been blamed on social media in the small nation.

After 8 hours of occupying Government Square in Tel Jaffa, Monarchy Part leaders organized and marched a group of over 8,000 Aveholis into the Atsenat, Avelhol's legislature, and the office of the Prime Minister Kalanit Tzita, who has not returned from the Ardem Conference yet. This sent legislators scrambling out, and many escaped to neighboring buildings, while the mob held the remaining 10 hostage. The office of Kalanit Tzita was occupied, and all staff was sent out. The mob of monarchists raided the office, stealing records, computers and other information centers.

The military was called by remaining Atsenat members. They were deployed into Tel Jaffa city centre. But, since Avelholi Defense Forces is a mandatory service for all citizens ages 20-24, they did not end the protests, and many joined.

The Monarchist Party, which organized many of the mobs, proclaimed Ariel Livini as Queen of the newly reformed Kingdom of Avelhol, granddaughter of previous King Gil Livini who was overthrown in 1967 by a Millerainia-backed revolutionary force.

Following the announcement, Queen Ariel asked her people to leave the streets, go home and spend time with their families. She commanded the military to return to their bases and threatened to punish any military leaders who dare try and unseat her or undermine her authority. She then thanked Ketiv for the people of Avelhol, and her rightful place at the throne back in the royal palace, which had been converted into a historic museum since the 1967 revolution and overthrow of the monarchy.

The people followed her wishes, after they cheered at the arrival of their new Queen. The streets were empty for an entire day, as Avelhol stayed shut-down. Law enforcement, and the military were forced to swear their allegiance to the Queen the following day.

Kalanit Tzita had been issued a warning that if she comes back to try and unseat the Queen, she will be tried for treason against the Kingdom. She had already applied for asylum in Millerainia by the morning after the overthrow.

Queen Ariel promises a new constitution, with the maintenance of freedom of religion and speech as well as most of the current freedoms Avelholis enjoy, as well as a reformation of the Atsenat to assist her in ruling the Kingdom and establishing laws and policies that are best for the majority of Aveholis, not a select few.

The Kingdom of Avelhol asks that the international community recognize the Kingdom as the only true government of Avelhol, as it already has backing of the people and the military.

Queen Ariel Reinstates Atsenat and Promises Government Position For Kalanit Tzita

TEL JAFFA- Queen Ariel made steps to cool the current political landscape of the Kingdom today when she reinstated all members of Avelhol's legislative body, the Atsenat, and promised safe passage and a job for Kalanit Tzita.

The Queen, after careful consideration of Avelholi's freedoms, decided that Avelhol would run much more efficient with a constitutional monarchy, with the Atsenat remaining an elected legislative body. The Queen has maintained all current Atsenat representatives' positions and promises to work with them. She has, however, given herself the right to disband the Atsenat after approval from a majority adult members of the Royal Court, which includes her father Prince Jack the Great, as well as making her approval for new laws mandatory.

The Monarchy Party, which seized documents from the office of the Prime Minister Tzita, has agreed to return all documents and possessions back to the government. Queen Ariel condemned the party for pillaging like savages and potentially hurting Avelhol's security.

After international concern of Kalanit Tzita, Queen Ariel has promised that the previous Prime Minister shall continue to be an elected official and representative of the Kingdom. Tzita will be given the position of Head of the Atsenat, and will call the Atsenat to order and maintain an active role in Avelhol politics. "I apologize for any hurt I may have caused my dear Kalanit Tzita, and she will be paid an extra 100,000 shekals for her troubles." Queen Ariel said.

While Avelhol has received condemnation from Falsea, the Kingdom of Avelhol has received official recognition from Antova and Erina Isle. Political analysts are unsure of what decision nations like Millerainia, longtime supporters of the republican government, will do. Millerainia has not responded to the revolutionary claims.

In response to Falsea's claims, however, Queen Ariel assured the People's Republic that she was here to stay. "I will not leave my country like my grandfather was forced to. I am here to stay, and this country will be brought back to stability if I have to build it myself with my own hands. I am dedicated to the people of Avelhol, and wish to prevent any more harm to come from our Holy Land, the land of the Avelists. The land of Ketiv, and of Musa." she said.

Avelhol Adopts New National Flag and Coat of Arms

TEL JAFFA- After a one month competition since the Monarchist Revolution ended with the establishment of Queen Ariel Livini as Queen of the Kingdom of Avelhol, a new national flag was chosen by the Royal Family designed by a 21 year old Avelholi woman living in Ne'tani, a smaller city south of Orun.

The flag is centered with the new official coat of arms of Avelhol, featuring the star of Ketiv representing Avelisum, waves surrounding it symbolizing Avelhol's location on the peninsula, and with crops growing from the star of Ketiv, symbolizing Ketiv's gift of fertile land as well as prosperity to the people of Avelhol. It sits on a white field, symbolizing hope and peace, with two blue lines on each side, similar to Avelohl's previous flag.

The flag was designed by 21 year old Art Major, Tanna Aurtzelz, and was awarded $100,000 for her winning submission. Over 200,000 designs were submitted to the Royal Family for the competition.

Monarchy Arrests Journalists
Secularists and Republicans Call For Abdication

Posted Image


ORUN- In many nations, the royal family is under the constant scrutiny of the media. In Avelhol, this is also the case. However, most nations do not arrest journalist, charging with "spying" and "interfering with royal affairs." This is what Queen Livini has done in the past two weeks.

A strange lack of journalists has been seen around the Queen's royal palace lately. Upon further investigation, it was found out that several reporters, even some from the Herald, were arrest for spying and interfering with royal affairs by the Queen's Royal Guard, her police force. Eyewitnesses have reported that the guards have even threatened to arrest for treason. All 33 reporters are being held at the Orun Correctional Facility, awaiting trial. Bail has not been set.

Originally published in an Orun newspaper, this story broke internationally. It is not a surprise that her actions have not only been condemned by internal secularist, liberals, and republicans. What is surprising is that the State of Millerainia, a long time ally of the former Republic of Avelhol, has officially condemned the Government under Livini.

Former Prime Minister Kalanit Tzita, who has claimed that the monarchist uprising was not an act of the Avelholi people, but an act of foreigners hired by Tzita to revolt in Avelhol, has questioned Queen Livini since the beginning. Often seen as the Queen's arch-nemesis, Tzita calls for the Queen to step down and let Avelhol return to the republic it was before.

Tzita was blamed for having a weak leadership that brought upon a terrorist attack. However, during the revolution, the investigation was abandoned. Independent international investigation agency, Suoyon Detectives, believe that evidence shows the bombers were actually royalists hired by Livini.

Republicans show a rise in taxes as another reason for the monarchy to cease once again, as taxes have risen 10% with the introduction of a royal tax in 2021.

Queen Livini Denies Abdication Calls
Posted Image


ORUN- Despite calls from people all over Avelhol and pressure from former ally Millerainia, the Queen has stated that she will not abdicate.

The Queen, whose reputation has been destroyed with a recent scandal over reduction in freedom of press, has released the following statement:

"I am the rightful Queen of this nation. A title my family was robbed of years ago. I have tried to maintain openness to the press, but they bombard my family, follow my children and are a nuisance to me. They don't respect the privacy laws and royal privacy laws put in place last year. I am simply enforcing the laws of Avelhol, and to the foreign powers that think they can influence Avelhol with their passive-aggressive tactics, I laugh at your efforts. Avelholi politics will not be influenced by a de-clawed kitten like your nation has so proven to be. Thanks for the concern though, Regina. A majority of my people still support the true Queen of Avelhol, and I will not deny that majority faction because of a select few that have decided that a kind and democratic Queen is not good enough for themselves. Ketiv bless all of you, and Ketiv bless Avelhol."

Queen Livini and Husband MURDERED
Posted Image



ORUN-A national tragedy occured at the Royal Palace in Orun today. At 9:50 am, AESA received a call from a female reporting that the Queen Livini and her husband were found dead in their room.

AESA rushed to the scene, and confirmed the reports were true that the Queen and husband were found dead. An anonymous source at the palace claimed that initial medical reports showed death by the deadly poison cyanide. This is unconfirmed by AESA or the Royal Family. AESA confirms that a suspect has been taken into custody.

No reports have been made on the condition of the Queen's family, her two daughters and son. Both Prince Giora and Princess Naomi are confirmed to have been at the residence, however. Princess Talia was in Suoyon, Erina Isle at a charity event at the time of the murder.

AESA has sealed off the Palace, no one can leave nor enter and evidence is being documented at this time. AESA has promised to provide information as soon as posssible.

Royal analyst, Atara Sinasohn, is an expert in Avelhol's newest Royal Constitution. "If the Queen and King die, the power goes to the eldest child, in this case would be Princess Talia, who is 23 years old. I am unsure if she is ready for this, having only lived as a Princess for a few short years. "

We will bring you up-to-date information as it comes in.

Atalia Haber Convicted Of Murdering Queen Livini
Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison

Posted Image


TEL JAFFA- After over a year-long trial and appeals, 48 year old Atalia Haber was sentenced two sentences of 25 years for murdering Queen Livini and her husband in their bed which brought on the second change in power in Avelhol in such a short period of time.

Prime Minister Kalanit Tzita had commanded the investigation, and after several months, investigators found Atalia Haber to be the prime suspect. Her boyfriend was murdered during the Royal Revolution by revolutionaries, which are now suspected to be hired by Livini from Eretzora. Atalia was a maid for the royal family, and went under the name Orna Reithchild while working at the royal palace. She poisoned the Queen and her husband with the drug cyanide.

Haber was brought in and arrested four months after the murdering, and refused to talk to police and federal investigators. Her lawyer told law enforcement she would wait for the trial to speak. She was locked up in Roseshanna Federal Penitentiary.

After the longest trial in Avelholi history, with over 1500 pieces of evidence, enough evidence was finally built up to convince the jury of 5 males and 2 females that Haber had mudered the late Queen and her husband. She was sentenced to 25 years for each murder, with a total of 50 years, with the ability to apply for parole in 19 years.

The Abram (Livini) family, currently living in Eretzora on family land, released this statement: "We are so glad that the Avelholi justice system has proved itself in bringing justice to our murdered parents. We can finally rest in peace knowing that the killer is no longer out there, looking for more of us to kill. We thank the Avelholi government for it's pursuant behavior in finding the murderer. We may return to Avelhol to bury our parents on family lands near the ocean, and perhaps may stay to live in the new State of Avelhol someday. "
