Jihad - Khevin Embargo
Arabia Attacks Foxburo
Today, the peaceful morning silence was broken as the sound of explosions and screeching jet engines ring out in the city of Detrathe in the early hours as people are just getting to work. In the name of a pointless Jihad, the nation of Arabia has just attacked Foxburo with overwhelming air power. Similar attacks also took place in the city of Kalakovgrad. The death toll is still unclear at this point but at least 198 citizens are confirmed dead with reports of over 2,000 injuries. Several enemy aircraft were shot down and one enemy pilot has been captured. Unfortunately, even more Foxburo pilots were lost in the defensive.
President Fox Fire immediately ordered a Naval blockade and bombardment of Allepo and Raqqa, reportedly resulting in greater devastation than the attacks on Foxburo. Intelligence reports from allies in the region confirm that Arabia, oddly enough, is completely ill prepared for war and lacking in resources.
President Fox Fire assured the nation that justice will be swift and brutal, declaring that Arabia will pay dearly for these unprovoked attacks, and issuing a warning to International Revolution to not intervene.
We have long been concerned about the extremist religious ideologies that currently rule over the nation of Arabia. Today, those concerns were confirmed with attacks on Foxburo solely aimed at the destruction of our cities and people. We will not allow this. Abu Haddad has made a grave mistake by attacking Foxburo. We caution International Revolution against getting involved militarily or financially as unlike Haddad, we are prepared for war, not just against Arabia, but anyone who dare harm or contribute to harming our people.
Justice will be swift and it will be brutal. Haddad will not be allowed to get away with such murderous crimes against our citizens.

Khevin Embargo Ends
After a petition against the embargo on Khevin has reached 10,000 signatures, the issue was re-addressed in the Senate with a new vote on whether to end the embargo. The vote resulted in 314-186 in favor of ending the embargo. Recent polls suggest that with the ongoing violence in Khevin, the atrocities committed by the SARF and the wounding of Zhogin, public opinion has shifted significantly, with many calling to aid Khevins regime, although most people still seem wary of aiding a government at war with it's own people.
This new move was welcomed with caution by Fox Fire who stressed that the most important thing is for the violence in Khevin to end. Foxburo is still accepting any refugees who manage to make it here, although many conservatives are highly critical of taking refugees from Khevin and have stated they will present new legislation in the future attempting to place more analysis and restrictions on asylum seekers in Foxburo.
