Originally published by Djabidjan News AgencyPresident Kwon Sang-jun dies in accident
President Kwon Sang-jun has been announced dead, following a helicopter crash this morning nearby Enmedyè.

Emergency services and firefighters units came as soon as possible, but they could not do anything to save the lives of the President and the other passengers.

It was been reported that, along President Kwon, other five people lost their lives in the accident, with no survivors. President's death has shaken and shocked all citizens in Djabidjan.

President Kwon Sang-jun, 46, had been President of the Republic of Djabidjan since 2011, when he was elected President following the death of his father, Kwon Jin-gyu. It is expected that Premier Im Jae-woong will perform the presidential functions temporarily, until a new head of state is elected by Djabidjan's parliament.

President Kwon Sang-jun, along the other passengers, were headed to visit to a nearby mining company, as part of a promotion of a government campaign on industrial policy. Not long after the takeoff, the helicopter presumably crashed as consequence of foggy conditions.

Many citizens expressed in social media their condolences and their worries about the future of the nation, following the death of the Djabidjanian president.

Premier Im Jae-woong declared "no words to express my own emotions on these shocking news", describing late President Kwon's death as "a national tragedy". He also announced a 19-day mourning, only one day less than when his father Kwon Jing-gyu died in 2011.

It is expected that a state funeral will be held in honour of the deceased president. Although the helicopter crash is believed to be an accident, the government has announced that a special investigation has been started.

Djabidjan News AgencyDjabidjanian TimesSunyMartial law passed by national parliamentNew Speaker is electedChristian group rejects being behind theatre attackDjabidjan’s national parliament approved a state directive establishing martial law in all the country’s territory for at least two months. 

The state directive will allow law enforcement and armed forces to arrest suspects without a judicial authorization and suspend basic rights.

The government justified the decision by the need to avoid more terror attack as the Namgung National Theatre in Djabidjan City, which killed more than one hundred people, including seven members of the government. The declaration of martial law was passed almost unanimously in the national parliament, with 148 for and only 4 votes against.

The State Department of Military Information, through a spokesperson, also announced that they have “clear evidence” that the Christian Action Front, renamed in 2015 as Independent Faithful Movement, was behind the attack. He declared that it “will not be mercy for those behind the attack” and that they will not have way out.
Nang Khin Maw was elected Speaker of the national parliament, replacing Speaker Chau Hung Tran who died in the recent terrorist attack in a theatre in Djabidjan City, which claimed the lives of 214 people, including several government officials and four diplomats.

With the death of late President Kwo in a helicopter accident last month and Premier Han, who also died in the terrorist attack in Djabidjan City, Nang Khin Maw, 70, becomes the highest-ranking official in the currently, at least until a new President and Premier are elected by the parliament.

Until then, following the Djabidjanian constitution, Nang Khin Maw will be both the acting head of state and head of government, as a consequence heading the State Council of Ministers.

A member of the national parliament since 2004 as a candidate of the Djabidjani People’s Coalition, she is not a member of the People’s Democratic Party, the largest political party in the national parliament and the political party which the previous three Presidents of the Republic belonged. Instead, she is a member of the Nayhtumyarr National Party which has only three seats in the national parliament – including herself.

It is expected that Nang Khin Maw would only head the government temporarily until the People’s Democratic Party elects a new leader or at least nominate possible candidates to both the presidency or the premiership.Independent Faithful Movement, or Dhaah Party, has rejected any involvement in the Djabidjan City's Namgung National Theatre terror attack.

The Independent Faithful Movement, which was established as a successor of DXAHK, an armed group that existed from 1969 to 2015, through an official statement published on several websites, declared that they did not have any involvement and they openly reject violence against political and civilian objectives. Instead, they argue, they are still focused in their strategy adopted in the so-called "2016 Christian Gathering", in which they announced a political strategy which described "popular mobilization and mass resistance", along electoral participation, as means to achieve their political goals.

The leadership of the Independent Faithful Movement is based in an undisclosed foreign country, and it is currently a banned organization in Djabidjan, where it is listed as a terrorist organization.
