After he prayed the Asr prayer, Caliph Suleman stands in the beaches of the country along with some of his ministers. The wind is calm and the sun is descending into the sky. He has a few long moments of peace and silence. He breathes in and out. He is thinking something.

Quote:
 
He talks to his ministers, "Before, I was born, the tribes united and made a kingdom. Their blood in in my veins, and we must have the same will they had! Now as we enter a new age, we cannot stop what they started. We must continue to expand! And I think the sea is the best place to do so.

As the days pass, the news is spread to all the nation. Everyone is happy and joyful about the further expansion. The army is ready and so is the navy. And as the Caliph stated, they will expand to the seas and become a great naval state.

The new expansion plan is as follows: the Suez Canal, the southward coast on the Red Sea, eastwards to the coast of Sinai and westward to the Mediterranean also acquiring Alexandria.

The objective of all this: become the greatest Naval State in the Middle East.

Open Communiqué

The Republic of Porcu strongly opposes the expansion of Khilafate Sulemania into the Venetian territories of the Suez and Alexandria. There has been no indication from the local populace as to their desires to join the Khilafate Sulemania and the Republic will not recognize this annexation until a free and fair referendum has been concluded along international standards.

The CMESS strongly urges Caliph Suleman to ignore Porcu's demands, and recognizes the legitimacy of the Caliph's claim to the Suez, provided they keep it open to Confederate and Middle Eastern interests. The CMESS promises to back Sulemania in this matter.

The Republic position is neutral as long as the canal remains open to all ship without interference. The Republic was to still express that there should be at least a vote to voice the opinion of the regional people. The United Libyan Arab Republic gives partially recognition to your state and with holds judgement on this matter. -United Libyan Arab Republic

The Libyan Republic position is refusing to accept and all claims to this area and will stand by the Federation's idea of democratic, universe human rights, and freedom of a sovereign people. The Libyan Republic will stand with the Republic of Porcu on this issue until a proper vote can be organize to state the will of the people. -United Transitional Libyan Republic

Official Statement
 
The Emirate of Al Whaladya formally recognizes the Khilafate's expansion into the previously mentioned locations provided the economic stability of the region is maintained. Additionally, the Emirate would request that citizens in the liberated territories are granted proper Khilafate citizenship.

Open Communique
 
The Federation of United East German States refuses to recognize the Khilafate Sulemania's annexation of former Venetian territories until due process of referendum is applied. Much like the Confederate expansion in Anatolia, this most recent expansion without proper adherence to the rights of the local population should not be recognized as legitimate by the international community. The Federation stands with its ally, the Republic of Porcu, on this matter and will back it's operations in the area.

Sufjan Qutb sat pondering, running his hands over his beard as he read the new intelligence briefing. A new Caliph had emerged in the West, taking the throne of the Nile. This upstart nation was now claiming lands in the Sinai, dangerously close to the Republic of Salik. Another bastard state has sprung from the ruins of the Romans, Qutb thought to himself. The news had been bad of late, with growing reports of separatists entering Salik through the southern borders. It would prove problematic if this new state began arming or harboring these separatists. Armed conflict was the last thing the Republic needed. It was vital that he move and make friendly contact with this Caliphate before the separatists did.

Qutb furrowed his brow,this expansion put the Republic of Salik's naval monopoly at a risk. Aside the from false Roman state to the West, the Republic had the majority of the Middle Eastern coastline, and the power of the Mediterranean with it. With the collapse of the Roman Empire, they had inherited a large naval force as well, and so far it had served well. If the Caliphate became hostile, it could side with the false Romans and threaten Salik. A closure of the Suez would be just as devastating. Aqaba had a naval base, but the fleet there was much smaller than the one in the Mediterranean.

Official Statement
 
The Republic of Salik is glad to provide its support to the Sulemania claim to the Suez Canal, provided it is utilized fairly. For far too long has the European powers controlled the canal and the lucrative trade that came with it. It is time the prosperity of the canals floods the Middle East with all its wealth.

President Sufjan Qutb and his government extends his warmest regards to the Caliphate, and is welcoming them to a Naval Summit to discuss issues of commerce and naval power.

The Caliph Suleman considers all the responses that have arisen from the Middle Eastern Nations. He first explains that the Canal will remain open to all ships passing through with no changes in taxes or hostility. The reason for controlling the Suez is not to throw off the trade and economic structure, but instead, to ensure that the Caliphate to be considered as a powerful, but diplomatic nation, and to make sure the nation strives in naval and economic areas. Thus the economic state will be maintained and the sea path will remain open to all and all laws will encourage the trade.

Secondly, the Caliphate will not do this operation like a barbaric siege, and is happy to consider the opinion of the regional population, as they are the nation's pride. The Nation will treat them kindly and with respect, and will act according to their opinions.

The Caliph is ready to organize a meeting at Cairo to discuss the ongoing expansion, and invites the leaders of the Middle Eastern Nations. He is also inviting representatives from the Suez area to tell the responses from it's people.

Today was the Day of the M.N.E.Ks conference. The day was bright and warm, with the sun looking down from above. The Caliph and his council were standing in the airport, waiting the arrival of the Middle Eastern Nation's Representatives. All of the Nation was quite happy on this day, considering today was this special meeting, which would decide if the Caliphate would be able to Expand and control the Suez and other areas, making it a very economic and naval-vise powerful nation.

A plane was landing on the Helipad right in front of the Council, and when it landed, the Caliph saw the Representatives, with which he would be talking with. He greeted them all with the Islamic Greeting of Peace and led them to the National Chambers. The conference had begun, and every person in the Nation, had their eyes and ears to the News, for this meeting would decide a lot, and it may change the Nation for ever.

Then the Meeting finally began...

The private jet carrying the Whaladyan delegation landed shortly after the United Libyans touched down. The pilots opened the door and a ladder was sent to meet the small two man team. The delegation was headed by the Prime Minister, Ali Hassam, who although rarely saw eye to eye with the Emir, actually shared the same sentiment. Why should a land-locked country care about maritime restrictions? Regardless, the Emir sent Hassam to above all else monitor what his neighbors discussed.

The second man on the delegation was the Emirate's Defense Minster, Omar Al-Whaladya. Omar was, if anything, a curmudgeon; a man who rarely left a positive lasting impression, but he had the hard-nosed attributes that were sometimes required of a man of his station. Additionally, he was the Emir's brother, and therefore, commanded immense power and influence. To make matters more interesting for the Whaladyan delegation, both men were openly hostile to one another. The fact that a fight hadn't erupted yet was a testament to their respect for their jobs, and nothing else.

Hassam exited the plane with Omar keeping an appropriate distance behind and approached the gathering of international dignitaries. Hassam, having already met the Libyan Sultan, approached him and shook his hand. "It is a pleasure to see you again, your majesty." Sultan Sharyan smiled and responded in turn, shaking Hassam's hand. Omar rather quickly shook Sharyan's hand, but said very few words.

Having greeted their allies, the Whaladyans then turned to their gracious hosts.

"It is an honor to meet you, your majesty." Hassam said, shaking the Caliph's hand rather than bowing. "I hope we haven't interrupted your conversation."

Just as Sharyan responded one of Suleman's adviser told them that the Whaladyan delegation was about to touch down. The private plane stairs dropped and out came Prime Minister Hassam and Defense Minister Omar Al-Whaladya brother of the Emir who was seen a hard-nosed military minister, who was respected by the Defense Minister Jabulah and Sultan Sharyan as a great leader. Hassam walked up and gave his greetings "It is a pleasure to see you again, your majesty." Which Sharyan gave his greetings back "It is also good to see you again Prime Minister Hassam" as he shook his hand. Sharyan shook Omar hand quickly and greeted him which was returned with few words by Omar.

Official Statement
Russian Empire
His Imperial Majesty Ivan VIII, By the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias is highly distressed over this invasion of sovereign Venetian territory. A long lasting ally of the Russian Empire, the Venetian people and their prosperity is of high concern to the Russian crown. However, recognizing that Venice has begun an untimely decline his Imperial Majesty will not intervene at this time but instead allow local leaders decide the fate of the territory. To that end, however, the Russian Empire strongly discourages any attempt by either Khilafate Sulemania or a secondary party that would jeopardize the continued and uninterrupted flow of goods through the canal. The fate of not only regional commerce but international commerce is at stake and a threat to international commerce is a threat to the Russian Empire.

TO: Caliph Suleman ibn Tariq
FROM: Foreign Secretariat of the African Federation

While not an Middle Eastern Power, the Federation of African Nations would like to opportunity to send a delegate to the current meeting in Cairo. The future of the Suez canal, we feel, is directly associated with the continued prosperity of not only the Middle East but also the emergent Africa. Pleased that your government wishes to consider the local voice of the people, it would be an extreme honor if the Federation could send a delegate in order to better represent Africa's interests as well as the Middle East, given that the canal is a vital link between both continents as well as the world.

Signed,
Secretary Tedros Tiku
