EMAC Albrektberg women's team will return to the First Division after they drew 0-0 against FK Sandberg in the last match of the season. It ends six seasons playing in the women's Second Division and their return to the highest level of the Juglander women's football league system.

They had suffered relegation during the 2016-2017 season, back then under their old denomination as SK Albrektberg. It will be the first time they will play in the women's First Division since the club was acquired by foreign investors.

Both teams were unable to score, despite several clear changes by both sides, but the club from Albrektberg was able to be promoted to the top division next season as consequence of having scored more goals than their Sandberg rivals during the final promotion group stage. But along a great performance of their goalkeeper, EMAC Albrektberg showed a greater consistency in their defense in comparison to the regular season. While EMAC Albrektberg were the top scorers during the season with 39 goals in 28 matches, they were also the seventh team who received more goals against.

They were not easy last weeks from the Albrektberg club, as they were only able to qualify to the group stage thanks to in extremis win against AC Keskus by 2-0 in the final match of the regular season. EMAC Albrektberg manager Martin Kokemus was rumoured to be about to be sacked by the club administration due to bad results in the last two months who seemed to move the team closer to another failure this season. However, their win last Tuesday against AC Albrektberg by 2-3 gave the virtual first place in the group stage and they will accompany SK Hamarrland, this season Second Division champion, to First Division next season.

"It was not easy, Martin Kokemus declared, "but we were always confident that this team will be able to turn the tables and achieve our aim". Kokemus had been previously main coach of SK Albrektberg men's youth team from 2010 to 2014. "There will be time to think about the next season", he declared when asked if he expects to continue leading the team next season in the First Division, "the players deserved this moment and I am certain that a new age has started for this team. These last seasons were not easy, and they have the right to be hopeful about the future about this difficult years".

AABL team have been training for two weeks in the Allied States of Ardia in preparation for the coming Tour of Ardia. The Juglander cycling team will be led by Germund Strand and Lars Aaltonen. AABL squad will be formed by an all-Juglander team, making seven Juglander rider in the tour, as Asketyll Omdahl is riding for MKTkom cycling team.

This year, AABL will be focused on the general classification, although they also hope to achieve to go back with one or more individual stages and maybe also contending in some of the minor classification prizes. Despite Lars Aaltonen recent win in the Ashina Grand Tour, in which he showed his strength and consistency through different terrain, the team plans to start without a preestablished leadership, with veteran Germund Strand and versatile Kimmo Peltonen as alternatives through the two-week race.

This year, however, the days previous to the start of the Tour of Ardia has been marked for some unexpected ausences, with only one of the riders who finished in the final podium joining the start, in particular for absent teams due to financial regulations and code violations, but also more recently for the decision of top teams from Achkaerin and Daito to boycott the race.

"We are athletes, not politicians", Lars Aaltonen declared. "We, of course, understand the effect of history and political rivalry as well as  more recent events have their impact in sports, it is sometimes inevitable", he argues. "However, we are focused to do our best and do our job, bringing joy and entertainment to our fans".

"There are always surprises", Aaltonen declares when he is asked about whom he sees as the main favourite for the race. The young Juglander rider insists that he has come with great hopes for the race, although without a clear answer about what he hopes to achieve in the race, maybe aware of the considerable reduction of kilometres against the clock this year. "As we say", he argues, "the road will speak. I will do my best for sure, and I will be glad to help my teammates if that is the case".

Brzdmtsveli Ketevan spoke to the nation through a television message in which she addressed the general situation in the country, including the recent wave of protests, which left episodes of violence in Azavrelia and Ktsatskuri. The message, which was not prescheduled, was broadcast on the national television channel.

"The right to protest, peacefully and in accordance to the law, is a constitutional right", the Brzdmtsveli declared. "I have the most utmost confidence toward the youth of this country. They are not afraid of voice their opinion, they work and study hard, and they do their best contributions in the fields of education, cultural initiative, sports, religious and cultural traditions, and their volunteering work...As a mother myself, I have no doubts that they are the best example that a bright future awaits our nation".

However, she warned about "irresponsible behavior" including the violation of the law, damage to the public and private property, threats to citizens and harm to both police and passersby are not tolerable and jeopardise the social and economic stability of the nation, and "inevitably harm any legitimate cause that protesters may have". She declared that she has confidence that both the public authorities and the legislative representatives will realize how to bring together the concern and wishes of both those who express their opinion legally and peacefully and those who may express them in other ways, in a way or another, including through their vote in legislative elections.

"Our Charter and national laws provides for constitutional and peaceful ways for anyone to defend their ideas within the law. Without respect for the law, no democratic and peaceful coexistence is possible. Change may be slow sometimes, but only through the proper channels, we find a way that changes are able to give strenght and conformt to every one. We achieve strength and social cohesion only through unity and respect", she finished.

It has been reported that the Brzdmtsveli's speach was watched in most Mktvartvelian homes. However, it is not clear that it will likely satisfy either the protesters, would have prefered that the head of state had at least backed some of their grievances, neither those who increasingly see the recent violence in student protests as path toward anarchy and social instability and expected a more direct condemnation of the student leaders.

There were rumours that the the Brzdmtsveli could have announced a chance of government, but this was not the case and the Mktvartvelian head of state did not mention Prime Minister Samkharadze directly in her message.

A tense and violent night was experienced in some neighborhoods in Ktsatskuri after students and police clashed in another day of protests.

The events unchained after a large crowd congregated nearby the State University of Ktsatskuri. A number of students started to block some of the nearby roads while chanting slogans about parliamentary reforms. After police failed to convince the protesters to disperse, riot police intervened, attacking the students, in a confrontation that produced hundreds of arrests and injured, lasting after midnight.

The night of riots was not completely extinguished until dawn. While there are certainly an element of exaggeration, witnesses and local media described the scene as an "urban war zone". Shops and government buildings were attacked, and dozen of cars were burned down. A law enforcement spokesperson declared that more than forty policemen were injuried during the night. Local media reported that two students required hospitalization, as well as a passerby who suffered light burnings. "Akheli Ambebi" newspaper described the events as "the most violent day in Ktsatskuri" since the 1977 failed coup d'etat.

Prime Minister Bidzina Samkharadze has declared that "violence will not be tolerated" and those who bring danger and destruction will face the legal consequences of their criminal actions.

Meanwhile, one student union denounced that police incited violence through agent provocateurs hidden between the protesters.

Prominent members of the opposition have called Prime Minister Samkharadze to resign, accusing him of "being unable to restore order from the chaos his government has promoted".

Following a demonstration in front of the State University of Ktsatskuri, a large group of students marched through the capital city. It seems that their intention was to protest in front of the National Palace, but the students were blocked by the police. During their way, the students chanted political slogans including "We do not need a charter, we need a constitution" and "Down with the Council of State". They finally ended in front of the National Electoral Commission building, the state agency which regulates both national, provincial, and local elections.

After one tense hour in which demonstrators had a heat discussion with the police as the students blocked the main road in front of the building, a group broke into the building and they made their way into some of the main offices. Police failed to intervene as another group started to block their entry to the building.

About one hundred of protesters allegedly participated in the action. A group of them went to the roof of the building, chanting slogans including "Equality! Equality! A nation for all!". Riot police was quickly sent to end the occupation, by they were met with a group of protesters throwing eggs, sticks, fruits, and other objects. The occupation of the building lasted four hours. The action was described as "a form of urban terrorism" by a prominent conservative MP.

Finally, after some negotiations, protesters decide to peacefully left the building. A group of them were arrested and other simply identified by the police. Windows, computers, furniture, and doors were reported to have considerably damage in certain areas of the building. A government spokesperson has declared that charges could be brought against both those who incited and participated in the action.

"For first time in decades", argued opposition MP Irakli Bneladze, "the state institutions were dishonoured by a bunch of criminals with pseudo-political aspirations". He blamed Prime Minister Bidzina Samkharadze's "irresponsible policies" and "unrealistic and hopeless failed reforms" for the recent protests. "The legislative fantasies of the liberal block have instigated the feeble hearts of mindless apprentices of revolutionaries who are willing to operate as the government's shock troops, even if without the government approval, to demolish the constitutional order". He demanded the government puts an end to the chaos in the streets and suggested the students union should be suspended and disbanded for breaking the law.

The main student unions, however, rejected to have being involved in the occupation of the Electoral Commission in a joint statement, in which they have insisted that they condemn any form of violence but they will continue with their protests peacefully until their demands are heard and considered by the authorities.

The protests resulted in traffic jams in the area until at least two hours after the occupation had ended. While the Electoral Commission plays an important institutional role for the supervision of elections and their financial regulations, it has a minimal activity at this time of the year, and it is not expected that the occupation will not have an impact besides the material damage caused by the protesters inside the building.

Student protests restarted in Ktsatskuri, Mktvartvelo capital city, in solidarity with the student protests in Azavrelia. The protests were peaceful and mostly without incidents.

At the end of the demonstration, MP Eter Vazhkania met with representatives from the student unions. The move was criticized by a number of members of the parliament, particularly those belonging to the opposition block.

Speaker of the National Assembly Ramaz Kintsurashvili rejected rumours that some of the student leaders or representatives to address their grievances or proposals in one of the permanent parliamentary committees. "The National Assembly is not a gathering for street protest", he declared, rejecting those rumours as absurd.

A national government spokesperson also denied a false report that the national government could have been pressured Azavrelia's authorities to reopen the university campus.

It is expected that protests will continue, as a student union confirmed that negotiations with university authorities have broken down. Police is expected to be mobilize to the campus to avoid acts of violence and vandalism.

Jinsulhan Sasil	Djabidjan News Agency
Scholar gaves new estimation about the consequences of mass starvation	Former President Shin is killed by terrorist group
		Related articles Shin's murder: Amateur assassination or a new terrorist network? Some questions about the ongoing investigation (Djabidjanian Times) President Shin to be buried in Free Christian cemetery (Salamdeul) Djabidjanian Times newspaper, sued in defamation case (Djabidjan News Agency)
We have the honour and pleasure, despite the theme of the main topics discussed, with Professor Tsisana Oniani, who currently teaches in the University of Albrektberg. Mrs. Oniani, who graduated in the University of Azavrelia in Economic Science, was previously taught in the University of Khashumi. In 2021, he joined the University of Albrektberg as Professor in Politics and Development. She has recently published her second book, "Political Economy of Disaster: A Case Study of Djabidjan", in which she analyses what some call the recent humanitarian crisis. Our nation is not alien to Professor Oniani, who visited the country for first time when she was preparing her master's degree. "It was a nice experience", she tells us, "even if I was too busy to have time to see anything else". She visited our country more recently, in 2019, when she participated in a conference about migration and development organized by the National University of Djabidjan City. "It was nothing special", she described, "but interesting from a scholarly point of view". Oniani clarifies that she is not expert on our country in particular or Northern Ardia in general. "My research has been focused on the impact of aid relief and economic policy on development", she explains, "and this sad circumstances gave the chance to evaluate some of the things I have been investigating in the context of a natural disaster". She has published two academic papers on issues related to the natural disasters and consequent humanitarian crisis that Djabidjan experienced, the first about the effects of the flooding and the second a comparative analysis in   relation to the relationship between infraestructures and government policy between two regions in Djabidjan. She explains us that she is well aware that her first article received harsh criticism in media in Djabidjan, particularly in some newspapers and politicians. "The second article had barely any impact, I must admit", she says, "I hadn't received much feedback even from scholars on my field". However, she felt that her recent research, combined with her knowledge of the sources and the region helped to her chance to offer a contribution to the issue. For this book, she explains, she used both official date from the government and local authorities and different methods of research, including date from internal displacement, labour statistics, numbers of refugees and recent migration, as well as data from media and local research. "I'm not either an activist or a historian", she clarifies. While she has also used data provided by human rights organization and political organizations, she has avoided to rely on testimonies as much as possible. "My intention was to offer a few analysis and collection of sources which contributes to understand the causes and effects of this situation". In her book, she gave an estimation of 125,000-195,000 people deceased during the recent humanitarian crisis, most of them related to the famine and related deaths which spread mostly in southern and western Djabidjan. These numbers would contrast with those official numbers offered by the national government, which established that only 8,000 people who had died as consequence of the famine and related deaths. "I feel that difficult to believe", Oniani established. Contrary to some have argued before, however, she does not seem to believe that the decision by Djabidjan's government decision to temporary close the nation's borders, due to a sudden national security crisis, which reduced the reception of aid, had a considerably impact on the effects on the crisis. "It was not an issue of lack of food", she explains, "the dimension of the crisis and its effects would be rather found in the failure in the organization and distribution of aid and basic goods, both by policy and, obviously, the destruction of infrastructures around the most affected regions". "It needs to be said that this is a scholarly work, not a political one", she says, when asked about the role of the authorities may have had in relieving or worsening the effect and consequences of the crisis, which some activists have even described as a genocide or act of war. "It is not my role to decide who is to blame, but to understand the causes", she explains. "I should say, that this was, sadly a preventable tragedy, which was worsened by both political and economical decisions by both state and private actors. I hope my study contributes to give a first contribution for a better understanding in order to prevent such situations in the country, both in the region and across the globe". It is not our role to judge academic research, indeed, but we certainly hope that Mrs. Oniani's study contributes to give light to the horrible tragedy experienced for thousands in this country, and serves as a first step toward to demand accountability for those who may be responsible, either by action or omission, of the consequences of this disaster, more human than natural.	Former Speaker and President of the Republic of Djabidjan Shin Yong-Nam was killed nearby Djabidjan City, police authorities announced. After a special operation aimed to rescue him, Shin's body was found, lifeless, as consequence of being shot dead by wo gunshots a close range, authorities revealed.

"I have been informed that the operation was a success", Minh Vu confirmed. "It ended as expected and the remaining members were neutralized".

"I am glad to hear that", Yohannes replied. Minh Vu, still thinking about some failed mission in the past, was certainly relieved.

"There were not survivors, then?", Choon-he that. "I guess we will not have official confirmation until some hours, maybe days".

As a former member of the Special Operations Brigade of the State Department, Choon-he was not too happy about the result, as they would get at least part of the blame.  Still, his confidence in Minister Arendse had remained untouched, as he had experienced too many things to be affected by such partial judgement. After all, Yohannes remained their man in the government, in his view, and the need to dispose of those who had betrayed the state and who aimed to join forces with the enemies of the nation was not in doubt.

Suddenly, one of his mobile phones, the one he had on the back of his trousers, started to vibrate. "Well", Choon-he added, "It seems our man neutralized the last remaining enemy".

"Very well", Yohannes replied. "You know what it is needed to do now". As usual, he barely showed any emotion as the words left his mouth.

Daahad looked with disgust the body, already a corpse, that was next to him. They had spent many hours together in the last week, but he had only been counting this moment to arrive. It is not that doubts had not increasingly entered his mind. They did. But it was more about the nature of his mission than the people who had surrounded him, whom he never felt more than insects to be crushed. There were moments of confussion, indeed, but the adrelanin experienced about the prospects of being discovered helped him to create a distance between he and these men, who were likely met their end now.

He pushed and kicked the corpse out of his car, an Ardian-produced red car with a distinctive wide white stripe on the doors. Orders were orders, but he did not expect being involved in such affair. They were quite crazier weeks and he was glad that this affair had ended. He expected a period of calm would follow, as it is usual after such risky operation.

He gave the details and waited, not without some impatience, that the details about his route were given to him. He started his car after checking carefully his destination.

Five minutes later, after turning the car to the left he suddenly saw himself moving toward a group of law enforcement cars which blocked the road.

They did not doubt to open fire, as soon as they saw the car, which met the description of a certain model red car with white stripes.

As soon as Daahad's body received the impact of dozens of bullets, the car lost control and directly crashed against a military van. He was declared dead as the armed police opened the car.
