PAKISTAN IN POLITICAL COLLAPSE



Sam Coates – Political Correspondent

UN Weapons Inspector in India have announced that they have come into possession of documents that they claim identify the cause of the terrorist attack on Srinager as originating from a secret private facility inside Pakistan, created by late General Yuyef Khan. The facility fell into the hands of a group of Colonels who served under him, and was created in order to weaponize mutants obtained through illegal means. Documents reveal that an attack was launched on the facility, and the mutant subject of the project was then smuggled into Srinager.

The documents seem to confirm that while the responsibility for the bombing was from the Sons of Bakr, the group itself was the creation of an aide of General Khan’s, and has since fallen to his own uses. While there is no specific evidence to connect the bombing to the previous Pakistan government, it has been clearly shown that little to no control was exercised over private initiatives by military officials.

In the wake of the information, Prime Minister D. Kenneth Neramani of India has withdrawn his support of his sister’s proposed interim government, and is calling for all of the military officers involved in what has been termed the ‘Deathbird’ project to be remanded to Indian custody for trial. In the face of these developments, the last functioning elements of the Pakistani government has crumbled, and UN peacekeeping forces in the region have found themselves defending nuclear sites from possible looters for a government that no longer exists.

PM Neramani has stated that if Pakistan disintegrates into anarchy, Indian forces will take whatever measures necessary to secure their borders, including imposing order in disrupted regions across the border. Both China and Russia have issued strongly worded statements that a defacto invasion by Indian forces will not be an acceptable development.

A NEW NUCLEAR AGE



by Henry Luce

A new day is dawning in the Middle East, and it remains to be seen if the sun will light a positive new direction or a final gasp of illumination before returning to the darkness of chaos and violence. In a short eight days, a major city in northern India was the sight of the most violent single act of terrorism in the history of the planet. In the days following, the Pakistani government would lose two leaders and all but collapse in the face of the repercussions from the explosion. India would switch governments, bringing rise to a conservative fronted coalition and bringing D. Kenneth Neramani to the Prime Ministership. Finally, evidence of illegal secret research into mutant weaponization by a late Pakistani General would be connected to the crime, and his widow’s potential leap to political authority would be destroyed by the possible connection.

The speed of the changes has left the world searching for answers. In the face of a potential invasion by India, the UN Security Council, at the pressure of both China and Russia, has pushed to expand the limited role of the UN Peacekeepers in country to now include stabilizing the region until new elections can be held and a provisional government established until Pakistan can assure its own border integrity. Surprising, the United States has agreed to support the measure, despite being a long time ally of India.

“The State Department hates it, but the support for the measure comes directly from the Oval Office.” Said a source in the White House. “President McKenna is focused on maintaining peace in the region, and considering that the new Indian government has been formed based on opposition to United States involvement, it is possible that his decision has personal factors.”

Other factors include the potential escalation that an Indian invasion could bring from China and Russia, who have long used Pakistan as a counterbalance to India in the region. In any case, most analysts have suggested that UN peacekeeping forces will be in the region for at least eighteen months before the hope of withdrawal will exist.

With the dramatic power re-alignment in the region, it will be years until the full political, diplomatic, and economic repercussions are known, and even now, these could be simply the start of a much larger political crisis to come.
