In an increasingly polarised world, a small island-nation is about to erupt. On 30th March 1975, a young woman and her brother are both brutally murdered inside of their home in Ejy. Police refuse to investigate. The government deny claims of corruption. Sectarian disputes are to blame. However, one mistake lead to public uproar. A Double Murder in Ejy Twenty-eight year old Aideh Mōisuy was an aspiring painter. She lived by herself in a small two-bedroom flat in one of Ejy's working-class areas. Friends describe Aideh as being "quiet, shy and a bit of a hopeless romantic". Recently, Aideh's younger brother, eleven year old Maad Mōisuy had been staying over during the school holidays. At around 6.00 PM, on 29th March 1975, Aideh was seen painting from her balcony. This was the last time, anyone ever saw Aideh Mōisuy alive. During the early hours of the morning, an unidentified man was seen entering the apartment building in which Aideh and her younger brother Maad lived in. Hours later, Aideh Mōisuy would be discovered in her bedroom; bludgeoned to death by a hockey stick. Maad Mōisuy's lifeless body would be discovered in the kitchen - stabbed and raped. Unbeknownst to many at the time, the murder was political. Edited by Yoloys, Mar 15 2014, 07:51 AM.

When the bodies of Aideh Mōisuy and her brother Maad were discovered, the nation of Yoloys became a centre of hysteria. Retired journalist, Torf Tsy remembers the entire case vividly. "Everyone were generally scared. I myself was petrified," he states briskly. "Many thought that a crazed sociopath had competed the murders!" Police officers refuse to investigate the murders. The reason why; Aideh and her brother belonged to the Alevi sect - a folk religion which originated in Anatolia. |

Yoloys' Alevi population has lived in constant repression since the start of the early 19th Century. Tsar Kudah imposed a series of laws which alienated Alevi's from the rest of Yoloyese society. This eventually helped to create a sectarian divide among Daina worshippers, Sunni Muslims and Alevi's. The deaths of both Aideh Mōisuy and Maad Mōisuy, provoked outcry among the Alevi minority. Protests were held in numerous cities, towns and villages across the country. Daina shrines were targeted by so-called "freedom fighters". This eventually lead to inter-communal violence. Tsar Yonoi issued martial law. Members of the Yoloyese Army, would regularly patrol the streets of Ejy and Nicosia. Representatives from various Middle Eastern Nations, discussed the possible fear of civil war. The Khilafate Suleman Army helped to restore some sort of peace. |

OCC: I hope you won't mind if i sent a diplomat like meh IC: Prince Jabulah was going to visit his brother about reports from both the International Fleet and from his Uncle the Foreign Minister. He arrived and walk passed the secretary who alerted his brother of his visit to his office. Jabulah greeted his brother as he walked in "Assalamu alaikum my Brother" "Wa alaikum salam my brother has brought you here this fine morning?" Sharyan asked after returning the greetings to his brother. "It seems there has been reports from both the International Fleet near Yoloys about a possible civil about to break out along with a message from our Ambassador to The Khilafate Suleman that they have send an army to help restore order" Jabulah told his brother and Sharyan took a stern thinking pose to think how to resolve this issue to the peace he and his ally the Emir are trying to make. He finally responded "Has any of our other allies sent representatives to the island yet?" "Yes I think the Republic of Salik has sent a diplomat to Yoloys." his brother responded "Ok we will send one two to help our friends resolve this issue. Aishie get me Ambassador Murbark on the phone he should be in his office by now". The two brothers waited until the Ambassador arrived to the Executive Palace. Ambassador Murbark was of the more experienced diplomats when it came to the Mediterrion sea area and he had served as Interim Ambassador to the United Transitional Libyan Republic before returning the Republic for a desk job. He had just been notified that his leader the Sultan wanted him at his office right now. Murbark walked into the office of the Sultan where he saw the Sultan, the Defense Minister, and his boss Foreign Minister who sat in next to the window on his fathers left side. After giving his greetings he was ordered to go to Yoloys with the task of preserving the peace and helping the Salik diplomat of defusing the situation. Ambassador Murbark arrived in Yoloys a few hours later where he meet Diplomat Mansur Basri and saw the current crisis unfolding. Edited by BenC, Mar 16 2014, 11:46 AM.

OCC: I don't mind, anyone can join in to be honest - the more the merrier! On 12 June 1975, as Ambassador Mubarak's plane landed at Nicosia International Airport, a car-bomb was detonated outside of the Airport's International Terminal Building. "What's happened?" asked the ambassador in his native Arabic tongue. The soldier kept deadly silent. As soon as his feet touched solid ground, Ambassador Mubarak had been shoved into a cramped government owned car. He could see the smoke emitting from the Terminal Bulding. "A bomb had been detonated," he wasn't stupid - he could smell the stench of death and burning. Two hours later, the car stopped outside the Qocei Hotel in Ejy. A young woman, wearing government uniform, had been waiting patiently by the hotel entrance. "Salaam, I will be your interpreter for your stay in Yoloys," the young woman spoke fluent Arabic. "Oh, by the way - my name is Fehmida Rotuhbeh!" "The situation in Yoloys, is becoming increasingly dangerous," Fehmida said whilst drinking coffee inside of the hotel restaurant. She continued, "Ever since the death of those poor young souls, a sectarian divide has been carved - Alevi children are not allowed to go to school, in the fear of being stoned - already ten Alevi girls have been killed from stoning, due to the fact that they belonged to a minority religion!" Ambassador Mubarak sat in stunned silence. He hadn't been prepared for this sort of situation. regular street protests, bombings, children being stoned in broad daylight! He needed to consulate Prince Jabulah fast. Edited by Yoloys, Mar 16 2014, 10:20 AM.

Ambassador Murbark took out his Sat Phone from his briefcase and dialed the number for the Executive Palace operators to connect him with Sultan's Office where he hoped the inner circle of the Government would be meeting on this crisis. The operator connected him to the Sultan's secretary who transferred the call to the office and a few seconds later the Crown Prince picked up the phone "Assalamu alaikum Ambassador report on what is going on". "Your Majesty the situation here is worse then we expected and what I've heard from my interpreter has told me that there has been stonings of innocent students who fear for their lives at school. Bombings including one going off after my plane landed and regular street protests in all the cities and towns on the island!" Murbark reported to the Sultan with a very shell shocked voice. The Crown Prince responded by telling him to hold on for a second as he put the phone on speaker and asked him to repeat what he just told him to the officials that have gathered in the office. The first one to speak was Foreign Minister Prince Abei Feteh "Ambassador has anything happen since you have arrived at your current location and have you meet the Salikian Diplomat has been sent their?" "Nope, I'm at a hotel in the resturant with my interpreter and everything seems fine at the moment. What should I do Sir?". The next one to speak was Supreme General Hansae who just walked in "Ambassador stay where you are at and we will send an unit of the Republic Guard or if you can get in connect with The Khilafate Suleman Army and ask if they can provide some protection until we get soldiers there."

"What's the religious situation like in Yoloys?" asked Ambassador Mubarak. Fehmida Rotuhbeh sipped her coffee in silence before answering his question. She began, "In Yoloys, religion is very complicated. I myself, I'm a Sunni Muslim, a Hanafi to be specific. The majority of the population belong to a Daina - a faith based around ancestor-worship and spiritualism" "Does the Imperial Family of Yoloys belong to Daina?" "Yes, all members of the Imperial Family belong to the Daina faith" replied Fehmida. The restaurant of the hotel, was unusually quiet. "What is your thoughts on the current situation here in Yoloys?" "I believe that my country is going to ignite a fire in the Middle East, if the current situation escalates any further" Fehmida suddenly turned a unhealthy shade of green. Ambassador Mubarak turned around to see what was behind him. A Yoloyese soldier was standing with a rifle in his hand. "Ambassador Mubarak, I'm afraid you must leave the hotel - an Alevi Politician has just been assassinated a few streets away from our current location - Fehmida Rotuhbeh, you must stay with the Ambassador at all times - an official from the Salik Army will help to escort you to the Imperial Palace" |

With the news of the assassination Murbark started to get worried that if the current crisis didn't get resolved Crown Prince Sharyan would go to the ICON and ask that a peacekeeping force be called in to resolve the situation to prevent the peace he achieved so far be keep. Which was better then having a civil war in which the Republic would have to step in to stop it and build a peace agreement with the help of his allies. his thoughts were interrupted by a call from his Sat Phone which picked it up and on the other end was a Salik Military Official telling him that a unit was be sent to escort him safely to the Imperial Palace. With that Murbark and Fehmida waited for a few mintues with the Yologese soldier standing guard when a APC drove up with the Salik Army symbol on it and out of it came a squad of soldiers with the commander walking up to him "Assalamu alikum Ambassador we are here to escort you and your interpreter safely to the Imperial Palace where the other officials are waiting." With that they got into the into the car and followed the APC to the Palace where the meeting would take place. The ride took a few minutes and Murbark observed the surrounding landscape of the crisis with soldiers from both the Yologese Army and Salik patrolling up and down the street and when they reached the Palace they were brought inside. The meeting would take place in a beautiful conference room where the Tsar was sitting with his cabinet and rose to greet the Ambassador. Edited by BenC, Mar 16 2014, 11:44 AM.

OOC: By the way, the official name for Yoloys is The Imperial State of Yoloys! Oh well! Tsar Yonoi stands among his cabinet, his face aged with worry and concern. "Salaam, may the spirits of Daina protect you," welcomes the Tsar to both Ambassador Mubarak and Fehmida Rotuhbeh, his interpretor. The pair both accept his welcome. "Your Imperial Majesty, the situation in Yoloys is escalating rapidly! If we do not sort the situation out soon, I fear the Middle East might be plunged into civil war," the ambassador finally manages to speak. The members of the cabinet whispers. "I agree with you," says the Tsar, "everyday, I hear reports of bombings, civil unrest - the targeting of Alevi's! All because of the deaths of two innocent souls" "The sectarian divide in Yoloys has been craved to far - Daina worshippers and Muslims fighting against Alevi's" A representative from the government of Al Whaladya bursts into the conference room, sweat dribbling down his face. "Sorry to disturb you, but I'm afraid that there has been another bombing - this time at the United Libyan Arab Republic Embassy - sixteen people have been killed, including the ambassador and his family!"

Murbark had a look of pure shock and sadness which he turned to the representatkve and asked how about the other embassy workers they alright. The Whaladyan shrugges his shoulders and shook his head sayong he didn't know about that. Murbark then bowwed his head along with his Whaladyan muslim brother to pray for the lost souls to their lord. He then took out his Sat Phone and calles once again the Executive Palace and had them transfered to Sultan's office and this time the Sultan picked up the phone "Assalamu alikum Ambassador what can I help you with? Is everything going well with the Tsar?" Murbark responded with a shaky "Your Majesty the Ambassador, his family, and a few people have died at our embassy here with a bomb going off." The line went silent before a whisper was heard reciting the Al Fatiha and the Sultan vioce was heard again "Please put the phone on speaker so i can talk with the Tsar" Murbark did as he was asked "Your Excellency Tsar Yonoi if I may since this now involves i would like to send a unit of Elite Republic Guard under my younger son Jabulah to look over the crime scene and remove the dead bodies so they can be buried with full Islamic rights here" |

Whilst Tsar Yonoi discusses the likelihood of foreign intervention in Yoloys, the representative from al Whaladyan, Ambassador Mubarak and his interpretor are ushered into the small back-office of the conference room. "You must have had a very rough today?" asked Fehmida. "Yes I have; two bombings, an assassination and now the probability of civil war - why has the situation in Yoloys spiralled far too rapidly?" "I suppose the situation here in Yoloys has always been spiralling, ever since the 1930s," replied Fehmida. "I think there is going to be a protest in Tsjyr Square tonight," the representative spoke softly. Edited by Yoloys, Mar 17 2014, 05:57 AM.

"Life is too short to be wasted on bad scotch"

Abu al-Bakir, the Whaladyan representative, had been deeply troubled by the events inside Yoloys. Having just recently been appointed to report on the issue, al-Bakir was a virtual tourist in the small island nation and knew very little about the country's socio-religious heritage. This was largely the result of the Whaladyan government who, caring little for the Yoloyese culture, merely requested that al-Bakir follow the situation in its impact on the society's Muslim population. Another underlying factor which captured the Whaladyan interest was the attention the situation was receiving from the Emirate's neighbor, the Republic of Salik. Because both countries appeared to be jockeying for power after the crumbling of Semitistan, the Whaladyans felt pressured to insert themselves wherever Salik was present. That meant that whatever happened in Yoloys was important to the Emirate if it was deemed important to Salik. "If I may ask, what do you think the Yoloyese government plans to do to quell these riots?", al-Bakir asked of Fehmida. |

"The government of Yoloys is far too weak, to quell the protests," answered Fehmida meekly. Both Ambassador Mubarak and Abu al-Bakir stood in silence. Both thinking the same thought. A double murder, was it all it took to set the isolated island nation on fire. "I suspect that the Tsar and the Sultan are having a lengthy discussion," said Ambassador Mubarak. The room felt stuffy and unbreathable. "Fehmida, may I ask you a personal question?" queried the representative. "Yes, go ahead," "Do you feel that as a Muslim, you should be protecting the Alevi's or not?" "As a Muslim, I should be helping the plight of the Alevi's. However, none of the more influential Imam's have issued an announcement or baiyaan regarding the issue - which I feel very strongly about. You need to realize, Mr al-Bakir, Muslims in Yoloys do not consider themselves as being Arab, despite many of them having Arab or Indian ancestry - I myself, come from an Algerian background, but I consider myself a Yoloys national rather than a Arab Muslim," "What about the Alevi's?" "Many in Yoloys - Muslim and Daina worshippers alike - consider Alevi's as being Devil worshippers and therefore shouldn't be allowed to live," Fehmida shocked the two men yet again.

Murbark was shocked by this answer because in the Republic the Constitution granted the rights of freedom of expression and religion and many of the non-Muslims in the Republic were treat as equals even when they worshiped different beliefs or forms of Allah. Murbark responded "So if the time and the civil war does break out the Alevis would be massacre and a genocide program started by the Muslim and Daina would happen. If this does happen will the Alevis take up arms and fight back against this people?" As this was going on the Tsar and the Sultan were talking over the phone about the Libyans intervene into the nation to remove the bodies of their falling countrymen and what would happen after this was finished. The Sultan was currently speaking "Tsar Yonoi this crisis must be stopped not for just the protection of your people but also for the protection and safety of the whole region because such a conflict could cause the who region to ignite into one massive conflict. So to prevent such a thing from happening we must act fast to calm the Alevis and create an independent investigation force to find out who committed this crime. If the this doesn't work then you may have to face the facts and allow a foreign military intervention to stop the crisis from progressing any farther then it has in your country. Now moving on to the bodies of my fellow countrymen I will be sending my younger son and an unit of Elite Republic Guards to take over the crime scene and take custody over the sixteen dead bodies so they can be took back to their homeland for an Islamic funeral". After he finished the Tsar responded to what the Sultan was telling him about the foreign point of view. |

Fehmida Rotuhbeh felt her cheeks go red. She has never had a discussion like this before with any other members of the government. Topics such as this, was considered 'immoral' and 'un-ladylike'. She begins to the answer Mubarak's question, in as much detail as she could muster; "Not exactly, but you're not too far off. You must remember - Daina is a form of ancestor worship. As well as this, they are a considerable majority demographically. If civil war, does break out - it is possible that Daina Militia's will eventually rise to power and will ultimately lead to the threat of genocide. The Muslims, on the other hand, are keeping a very neutral stance, as not to offend both sides," Ambassador Mubarak wonders if the meeting between the Tsar and the Sultan is almost over. Abu al-Bakir is pacing up and down the room frantically. "Mr Mubarak, what is your opinion on my homeland? We speak a complicated language, we practice a religion unheard of by many - we even drive on the left hand side of the road! What did you already know and how different is it from what you imagine it to be" Fehmida asks quietly. Edited by Yoloys, Mar 17 2014, 06:45 PM.

With the knowledge on the civil war would mostly like look if such a time comes to that point if the Sultan can help the Tsar calm the Alevias and find out who did what and for what reasons. He moved on to the next thing which was the question asked by Fehmida about his opinion of her country "Well if it not for the crisis your country would be a place of peace for the most part but your country does need some help in creating a environment of interfaith peace between all three of the major religions in your country to prevent any farther conflict. I find your country to very interesting compared to the other countries surrounding you from our distant cousins who are being ruled by the Romans in Africa to the Romans along the East part of the great sea. How it is different from what I have read and studied about back when I was just a graduate and was starting my first tour of duty aboard is that in my country the people all get along even with the different faiths, ethics, and the ways of life. You see the Tribes and the regular people have different styles of lives and hold different power and influence but still respect each other. Additionally His Majesty does what is the best for his people and accomplishes much in finding peaceful solution to the conflict but still if needed rules with an Iron Fist. Here there has been attempts to create a unified people but the past leaders have found a way to do it and rule with just the right amount of force and compassion for what they believe is right for their people. I hope and pray that my leader can help the Tsar rule with just the right amount of force and diplomacy to prevent any of the groups from be seen as outcast and tensions from mounting to this level." Murbark answered before turning to face Abu al-Bakir who was still pacing waiting to find out what would be solved by the Sultan and Tsar. "How about you do you have anything to add Abu al-Bakir to this discussion" Murbark tried to get his fellow Muslim brother to focus on the current discussion the two people and away from the Talk between the Sultan and Tsar |

Abu al-Bakir slowly halted his rampant pacing long enough to overhear Mubarak's question. Before he spoke, he collapsed into a leather chair and therapeutically rubbed his hands over his face. "This situation is most troubling", he said with some hesitation in his voice. Al-Bakir was beside himself. As a low ranking official within the Whaladyan Foreign Affairs Ministry, he was simply overwhelmed by the grave nature of the current dilemma, however it was his own country's policies which bothered him the most. The Emirate was, for all intensive purposes, a fairly stable state in terms of religious sectarianism, but that stability hung by a razor's edge. The country's Sunni minority ruled over the largely Shi'ite majority within a potentially volatile system; in fact, Whaladyan religious society could be described as a "powder-keg", one in which the fallout from a sectarian conflict in Yoloys could severely aggravate. In a sense, the conflict in Yoloys was a ticking time bomb for Al Whaladya. The resulting government response was considerable, if not poorly executed initially, and al-Bakir was tasked with monitoring the situation and determining whether a more "serious" approach was necessary. He dreaded what might happen should the Whaladyan GFID be called into action inside Yoloys. "I shudder to think what this conflict has in stored for my country's precarious religious situation. I do not wish to alarm you, but my government may go to great risks to prevent sectarian conflict." Edited by Whal, Mar 17 2014, 11:16 PM.

"Mr al-Bakir, you must be joking! If the Al Whaladyan Army steps foot into Yoloysese soil, the whole country will be engulfed into chaos-" Fehmida Rotuhbeh stopped in mid sentence and became silent as Tsar Yonoi entered the room. His face showed signs of stress. "The Sultan - may the spirits of Daina bless his soul - and I have come to a conclusion - a battalion of the Libyan Army will be deployed across Yoloys' major cities and towns. Nicosia will be placed under gridlock - that means nobody can leave or enter the city without police clearance. All goverment offices will be temporarily moved to Ejy. Parliament has been dissolved and a National Council has been declared instead," Tsar Yonoi looked as if he was going to break down right in front of Ambassador Mubarak, Abu al-Bakir and Fehmida Rotuhbeh. "Before I forget, Ambassador Mubarak and Abu al-Bakir - both of you willl be staying at the International Hotel in Ejy, along with other diplomats," |

Both Ambassador Mubarak and Mr al-Bakir, along with interpreter, Fehmida Rotuhbeh, left the Imperial palace in complete silence. They had all came to the same shocking conclusion. Yoloys was already starting to burn. The International Hotel was located on a hill overlooking Ejy. In this part of the city, posters of various Yoloyese nationalists were plastered everywhere. Apartment buildings loomed over the streets menacingly. Well kept children played on the pavements carelessly. Ambassador Mubarak had never seen this part of Yoloys previously. It was foreign and unknown. "This area seems peaceful, what's it called?" questioned Abu al-Bakir curiously, as they drove towards the hotel in a government-owned car. Fehmida replied, "This is Zadehina, a predominantly middle-class Daina area. Very few Muslims live here. Majority of the people who live here, belong to the Yoloyese Rehoba Party - it is a traditionalist right wing Daina democracy political organisation founded by Wasūro Fotopesh - it is also one of the three main political parties here in my country," Edited by Yoloys, Mar 19 2014, 05:26 PM.

Abu al-Bakir starred out the window intently, taking in the strangely calm atmosphere. He almost couldn't believe he was witnessing the same country that was currently preparing to go to war with itself. Indeed, from the smiling faces of the children playing indiscriminately in the streets, one would assume that the situation in Yoloys was anything but unstable. It was only when the car slowly passed a crude bit of anti-Alevi graffiti plastered on a wall, that al-Bakir remembered the potential violence behind the picturesque scene. Suddenly, his own faith as a Muslim began to make him feel like a target. He swallowed hard. "Mrs. Rotuhbeh, how do you imagine the Muslim population shall fair should the situation become any worse?", he inquired politely, but with slight fear in his tone. "Are they in a similar danger from either side?" Edited by Whal, Mar 19 2014, 10:04 PM.

"The main problem for Muslims in Yoloys doesn't involve either the Alevi's or the Daina worshippers - it involves ourselves. Do you understand what I mean?" "Yes I think I do Mrs Rotuhbeh, carry on," 'By the way I'm Miss Rotuhbeh, anyway. I fear that the Muslims will turn against one another, some will join the Alevi side whilst others might take the Daina side," "What side are you on," "I'm apolitical, Mr al-Bakir," The conversation ended at that.

OOC: To make it more interesting, I wanted to include how ordinary people in Yoloys felt about the sectarian disputes and foreign intervention. Jana Iskal had just turned twelve in 1975. She remembers vividly the chaos that engulfed her childhood. She speaks about one particular incidence in grave detail; "One day, whilst in the middle of a lesson - a group of rogue men entered the playground of the school. My teacher, I believe her name was Miss Kaddo, ushered the entire class outside," she coughs before carrying on, "the leader of the group, asked Miss Kaddo if there was any Alevi children in our class. She nodded and pointed at a young girl named Aisha Sojto. The men grabbed the poor girl by the scruff of her neck - she was crying her by this point - and dragged her outside of the playground and then shot her in broad daylight." Jana was began to shake at this point, "That was the first time I truly felt Death shadowing over me," Edited by Yoloys, Mar 20 2014, 05:31 PM.
