Socialist Partisans take up position in Neveras City, Nevaras

Speaker of the Socialist Party of Kalistan, Georgia Van Wyck, issued a proclamation for a General Strike today, aiming to shut down the industries across the Republic and call workers out to defend workers' Rights. "We have had enough of Fascism," said the one time Premier of the Republic.  "It is time for workers to stand up for the rights of the people and do what is necessary to restore Kalistan to some semblance of normalcy.  This means we will not come back until the current government relents."

The RSMoK took the Strike one step further, and moved quickly to secure posts around Kaliburg, Sulari, Eshar and Nevaras.  A three block radius around the SP Headquarters in Kaliburg were closed off by armed militia, as well as various radio stations in the capital, food bank operations, medical facilities, and army outposts.  Additionally, it was initially unclear whether socialists in the Regular Force and the police force would heed the call of the General Strike, but clearly some have.  There was a mutiny at the barracks of Bozo River CATC, and socialist Partisans have taken over the adjacent town without a shot, but the base itself is still under Government control.  Socialists have seized the arsenal, however, and are preparing for counterattack.

The National Defense Consortium has closed its doors, and will not supply arms and ammunition to the National Government.  Their efforts to modernize the military have ground to a halt recently, as the now contested Government of Kalistan has refused to allow the Consortium the ability to begin production of weapons.  Kalistan is in a weakened state due to rampant and willful government neglect, and the militias are in far better shape training and equipment wise than the Regular military.

Events are developing quickly.  Stay tuned for more news.
