HANS MAJESTET HARALD V HOSPITALISERT, I KRITISK TILSTAND

____________________

OSLO - Klokken 07.37 i morges ble det rapportert av kilder i familien at Hans Majestet Harald V er kjørt til Ullevål Universitetssykehus i Oslo. Mye av detaljene blir holdt på et behov for å vite grunnlag på vegne av den kongelige familien, og det er privatliv inntil videre. Dette ville ikke være den første medisinske hendelsen som skjedde med den 88 år gamle monarken. I 2021 måtte kongen kort tid gå bort fra sine plikter på grunn av revne leddbånd over kneet som krevde kirurgi, slik at kronprins Haakon kunne opprettholde pliktene selv. Siden han kom seg på slutten av 2021, hadde han blitt mye mer avhengig av kainen. Før den nylige hendelsen kjempet Harald V med blærekreft i 2003, kom gjennom kirurgi på grunn av en hjertesykdom i 2005, deretter mer hjerteoperasjon tidlig i 2020. Mer informasjon om denne uheldige hendelsen vil bli gitt når den er godkjent av Royal Familie.

(Translation: At 7:37am this morning, it was reported by sources within the family that His Majesty Harald V has been rushed to Ullevål Universitetssykehus in Oslo. Much of the details are being kept on a need to know basis on behalf of the Royal Family of Norway and it's privacy until further notice. This would not be the first medical incident to happen to the 88 year old Monarch. In 2021, the King briefly had to step away from his duties due to torn ligaments above his knee that required surgery, allowing Crown Prince Haakon to uphold the duties himself. Since his recovery in late 2021, he had become much more dependent on his cain. Prior to the recent incident, Harald V battled with bladder cancer in 2003, made it through surgery due to a heart condition in 2005, then more heart surgery in early 2020. More information on this unfortunate event will be dispensed when properly authorized by the Royal Family.)

_{The Great Abe}

TOKYO METROPOLIS, KANTO, HONSHU, Philanialle — AFTERNOON
_{PRESS BRIEFING ROOM, KANTEI}

| With the flag of Japan centrally positioned behind the speech table — all journalists and reporters were ordered by Kantei to sit at a suitable distance from each other in the conference room and, of course, with masks — a government official walks to the speech table and places a glass of water on top of it . . . A few minutes later, the sounds of the journalists' camera flashes draw attention as Deputy Prime Minister Abe enters the Press Briefing Room — SHINZO ABE wearing a black suit with a dark blue tie wearing his mask walks to the podium and bows to journalists. |

| _{SHIN TANAKA, Government Official} | “This press conference could have been done online, don't you think?—“

| _{REN SAITO, Government Official} | “—From what I've been told, Abe will resign as deputy prime minister and announce his retirement, so it would have to be face-to-face and official.”

| _{SHIN TANAKA, Government Official} | “So the press will know about it today.“

_{NEAR THE PRESS BRIEFING ROOM, KANTEI}

| The PRIME MINISTER SUGA at 76, will turn 77 in December, alongside Suga is MR. TARO ASO at 84, the current Minister of Finance — walking down the hall to the press briefing room, Suga adjusts his mask. |

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “Asō, are you ready to be my right hand man?—“

| TARO ASO, however, looked at the Prime Minister with a dubious expression. |

| _{TARO ASO, Minister of Finance} | “—What do you mean, Mr. Prime Minister?”

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “What? Have you not received the new information? Only Kantei knows that Abe will resign as deputy prime minister, we will officially announce today to the press.”

| _{TARO ASO, Minister of Finance} | “Oh yes. Sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, I must have received the information, but I completely forgot . . . this must be a consequence of my age—haha”

| ASO starts to laugh, and the Prime Minister laughs along as the two walk side by side . . . when they arrive at the press briefing room, where they both walk to their seats — SHINZO ABE takes the mask off his face and puts it in his suit pocket. |

| _{Shinzo Abe, Deputy Prime Minister} | “Good afternoon everyone. I would like to immediately announce that, for reasons of age and fatigue, I will resign as Deputy Prime Minister . . . I feel that I have completed my work with the Japanese people in these many years that I have been in power as Prime Minister of Japan and now as Deputy Prime Minister — where I've been Suga's right hand man since 2023. ^{(Yes, Hiroki, Asahi Shimbun.)}”

| _{HIROKI, Asahi Shimbun} | “Mr. Abe. We're all shocked by his statement-because a great leader will leave politics to go down in history-but did the Prime Minister and Cabinet already know that? To decide who will be Suga's next right-hand man?—“

| _{Shinzo Abe, Deputy Prime Minister} | “Yes, the Government already knew and we decided that Mr. Taro Aso will be Suga's next right-hand man, of course, because of his skills and influence.”

_{Kathleen, The Washington Post.}

_{Q —} “As you may already know, you are a great politician abroad and especially in the United States, where the Biden White House together with the Fmr. Administration Trump consider you a great Japanese leader — the same, of course, for the Prime Minister Suga. Now would you like to know what your opinions were on Egypt before?”

| SHINZO ABE drank some water before continuing to organize his briefing binder. |

| _{SHINZO ABE, Deputy Prime Minister} | “I was totally against the Illegitimate Government of Egypt, so I supported the actions of the Paramerican Government, Kathleen.”

| And then after ABE's statement along with questions from the press . . . now it's Prime Minister's turn. |

_{PRESS BRIEFING ROOM, KANTEI}

| With SHINZO ABE leaving the podium speech table after his declaration — The Prime Minister took the podium that was being disinfected by government officials using masks, gloves and alcohol gel. Farther to the left, ASO took the podium along with the Prime Minister. SUGA takes off his mask and puts it in his right pants pocket, TARO ASO chose not to take the mask off his face, where he is now standing to the Prime Minister's right. |

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “With Abe's recent statement in which he announces his resignation and will retire from politics . . . I take this opportunity to make official the appointment of MR. TARO ASO as New Deputy Prime Minister of Japan and my right hand man—“

| SUGA starts to applaud for ASO and walks away from the speech table for Mr. Aso to say a few words, where he takes the mask off his face and puts it in his pocket. |

| _{TARO ASO, 'New' Deputy Prime Minister of Japan} | “—I would like to thank Prime Minister Suga and the Cabinet for choosing me to be the Prime Minister's right hand man. I will do my best—“

| The press conference ends. |

Conservative Bloc established in Spanish Cortes in Ciudadanos power consolidation move

| Representatives from the Christian-aligned conservative People's Party and the liberal progressive Ciudadanos party, namely Isabel Diaz Ayuso, Minister of Social Security, and Augustina Torres, Prime Minister of Spain, respectively, jointly announced the establishment of the Conservative Bloc, a more established political coalition between Spain's largest and Spain's fourth-largest political party. The Bloc was established as a direct result of past gridlocks in the Cortes Generales (Spain's parliament) and the recent legislative debacle over excessive government spending. Although the name may claim that the Bloc is represents conservatives in the Spanish legislature, Prime Minister and Ciudadanos party president Augustina Torres stated at the press conference announcing the Bloc that 'this new political coalition between two of Spain's brightest and most innovative parties is designed not to represent one sector of the Spanish people, but all sectors'. The actual definition of an 'established political coalition' has not been set in cement, however, so it remains unclear whether this merits just voting on each parties' legislation or creating a unified legislative approach policy. |

| The Conservative Bloc now holds a majority of both houses the Spanish Senate and the Congress of Deputies (upper and lower house of the Cortes respectively), which, as many politicians and political analysts hope, will ensure that the Spanish legislature does not go into gridlock once more. Plans to develop a unified policy to approach new legislation proposed by 'external parties' such as the left-wing PSOE and the far-right Vox are in the works, which hopefully will ensure that no debates or bickering will occur between Bloc politicians. The announcement by only two representatives came as a shock, however, as when the Bloc was conceptualized the conservative right-wing party Podemos was included in negotiations. Party leaders have refused to comment, but political analysts suspect a falling out occurred between the three parties, causing Podemos to split from the coalition. The Prime Minister has stated, however, that Podemos is still welcome to join the Bloc should it wish to, as long as the party agrees to conform to the unified policies of the Bloc. |

| Although most of the Spanish public hailed the Conservative Bloc as a symbol of democracy and Spanish unity, some suspected - potentially rightly - that the Bloc was established as part of a covert power consolidation move by Prime Minister Torres and Ciudadanos, who's political power in the Cortes was contested by the numerous failed coalitions formed between the PSOE and Vox. With the Conservative Bloc backing Ciudadanos - and thus Prime Minister Torres's - legislation and policies, practically no opposition can be established due to the strong majority held by the People's Party and Ciudadanos, the two parties that compose the Bloc. While critics of the Bloc cite this and the 'fact it could severely hinder the execution of democratic principles in the country', both of which are deemed false accusations, it is certain that with the support of the Bloc - and thus the People's Party, Prime Minister Torres and Ciudadanos are in for a rapid consolidation and expansion of power. |

TOKYO METROPOLIS, KANTO, HONSHU, Philanialle — MORNING
_{MAIN HALL, KANTEI}

| With two guards at Kantei's entrance, a black car approaches the main gate and the two guards open it — the car belongs to VICE PRIME MINISTER TARO ASO, his visit is just for a meeting with the Prime Minister — the PRIME MINISTER SUGA, on the other hand, having forgotten that he had a meeting scheduled with Mr. Asō — Suga was reminded that he had a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister — Suga then left his office and went to receive Asō who had already arrived. |

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “Good morning Mr. Asō. I had forgotten we had a meeting . . . my old age is making me forget about things—haha“

| _{TARO ASO, The Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Finance} | “No problem, Prime Minister. I understand you, I'm forgetting a lot of things too, I'm going to be 85 in September—haha”

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “—I'm going to be 77 this year, I'm a few years younger—haha“

_{PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE, KANTEI}

| After they both laugh, the two continue walking towards the Prime Minister's office, where Suga puts his hand on the doorknob to open the door — Suga enters his office — he walks over to his polished wooden desk and sits in his chair. |

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “Sit down Mr. Asō. What topic should we discuss?“

| TARO ASO sat down in the wooden chair strategically placed in front of the Prime Minister's desk. |

| _{TARO ASO, The Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Finance} | “The main topic currently being discussed is Korea, of course you should know, I recently announced my position on Korea . . . Where I took a stand against rebuilding relations between Tokyo and Seoul . . . Korea is like a 'box' where various surprises appear — as well as a 'messy box'.”

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “Uh, yes . . . if I remember, I read in a newspaper about it. But Prime Minister Yi's intentions seem believable, why would something bad come out of that Korean box?”

| _{TARO ASO, The Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Finance} | “Mr. Prime Minister, Korea is not worthy of our trust — Seoul may well elect a new Administration and that same Administration will be anti-Japanese and everything will go back to the way it was before . . . my advice is to distance yourself from Seoul — you know how Korean politics is extremely confusing.”

| The PRIME MINISTER SUGA sucks with a thoughtful expression, leaning back in his chair. |

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “I'll take your advice, Mr. Asō . . . I should have paid more attention to detail, today I will announce at a press conference that the Empire of Japan will take relations between Seoul and Tokyo to a neutral level.”

| _{TARO ASO, The Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Finance} | “Yes, Mr. Prime Minister. We must be careful with the 'Korean box' or the 'mess box' — absolutely anything can come out of it.“

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “I agree, Mr. Asō. I will fix this error soon.”

| TARO ASO straightened his shirt sleeve before continuing. |

| _{TARO ASO, The Deputy Prime Minister/Minister of Finance} | “Why doesn't Shinzo Abe advise you to do the same?”

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “He intended to do that, Abe was very suspicious of Korea — but with his retirement recently announced, he didn't, but he shared it with me and I forgot about it due to my old age.”

| The meeting would continue until they both ended. |

_{PRESS BRIEFING ROOM, KANTEI — AFTERNOON}

| After the meeting between Suga and Aso, the prime minister called a press conference — where the press room was prepared under the orders of the Prime Minister . . . A short time later, when everything was ready and the journalists were notified by Kantei — the PRIME MINISTER SUGA wearing a dark blue suit with a yellow tie, he crossed the PRESS BRIEFING ROOM to the podium and bowed to the journalists present. |

| _{YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister} | “Good afternoon everyone. I would like to start already by declaring that the relations that were being rebuilt between Tokyo and Seoul will not materialize — the Empire of Japan will bring relations with Korea to a level of neutrality — As you all know, Korea is like a 'box' and this box has many surprises that are mostly BAD.”

| The PRIME MINISTER's statement left the press totally impressed by Suga's change of tone, where many questions were asked during the press conference. |

_{JAPAN EMBASSY, SEOUL SPECIAL CITY, Rutannia — AFTERNOON}

| With Suga's recent announcement that relations with Seoul have fallen to neutrality, the Japanese embassy is under great strain, awaiting a response from the Korean Administration. |

| _{KORO BESSHO, Japanese Ambassador to Korea} | “Taro Aso is just continuing what Abe would do if he continued to be Suga's right hand man.”

| BESSHO in a serious look at the diplomat, MS. MAMI MIZUTORI while drinking a cup of sake. |

| _{MAMI MIZUTORI, Japanese Diplomat} | “Yes, we are all anxious to know what Korea's response will be — depending on the response, Tokyo will have to close the embassy and consulates on Korean soil.”

Expanded Military Cooperation Between Union-State of Alzarikstan & The Arab Union of Asharken

توسيع التعاون العسكري بين الاتحاد ودولة الدول العربية والاتحاد العربي للهلال الخصيب

أبوظبي ، دولة اتحاد الدول العربية

The Arab National Defense Research Corporation of the AUFC and the United Arab Defense and Security Corporation of the USAN have come to extensive agreements to formulate joint cooperation and exchanging of technology and production rights for the development of modernized, advanced military weapon systems and equipment. The ANDRC and the UADSC commitment to the protection of the Arab people and promotion of modern Arab ingenuity and innovation has become the driving force of expanded relations between the AUFC and the USAN amid the new course of development and action being witnessed in Baghdad. Abu Dhabi has indicated they are extremely excited and pleased to be further working with the new Abdulrahmanist state in the region to the North.

Chairman of the National Council on Defense & State Security Nasser bin Hamad al-Khalifa would give the following statement regarding the enhanced military cooperation between the two Arab nation-states:

Since the destruction of the Iranian Empire, there has been this gradual shifting of regional responsibility away from the Persians and back to the Arabs to take charge of the developments of our own people and land. This shift was originally recognized by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who decided that instead of annexation of the Gulf States and Southern Arabia into the Saudi Kingdom, thus destroying the historical national identities and inheritance of the 6 Arab Peninsula nations, we ought to come together in the formation of the Union-State of Arab Nations under the guiding ideology of Abdulrahmanism. Now the guiding principles of Marshall Abdulrahman has found its way into the Levant and Mesopotamia. With a central aligning ideology, the Arab Union of the Fertile Crescent and the Union-State of Arab Nations are representation of what Arabs can achieve when the proper mechanisms and motivations are present. I am thankful for this agreement made between our defense sectors and I am further confident that this is just the beginning of a true Arab Renaissance in the Middle East and Arab World.

منذ تدمير الإمبراطورية الإيرانية ، كان هناك هذا التحول التدريجي للمسؤولية الإقليمية بعيدًا عن الفرس والعودة إلى العرب لتولي مسؤولية تطورات شعبنا وأرضنا. أقرت المملكة العربية السعودية بهذا التحول في الأصل ، حيث قررت أنه بدلاً من ضم دول الخليج وجنوب الجزيرة العربية إلى المملكة العربية السعودية ، وبالتالي تدمير الهويات الوطنية التاريخية وميراث دول شبه الجزيرة العربية الست ، يجب أن نتحد معًا. في تشكيل الاتحاد ودولة الدول العربية في ظل الفكر العبدلي الرحماني. الآن وجدت المبادئ التوجيهية للمارشال عبد الرحمن طريقها إلى بلاد الشام وبلاد ما بين النهرين. يمثل الاتحاد العربي للهلال الخصيب واتحاد الدول العربية ، بإيديولوجية محاذاة مركزية ، ما يمكن للعرب تحقيقه عند وجود الآليات والدوافع المناسبة. أنا ممتن لهذه الاتفاقية التي تم التوصل إليها بين قطاعي الدفاع لدينا ، وأنا واثق من أن هذه مجرد بداية لنهضة عربية حقيقية في الشرق الأوسط والعالم العربي.

Nigeria begins planning of Vision 2100

Lagos Times

February 19, 2025

The Country's Future must be bright and shine into the Developed Country in Africa, With Vision 2100, that dream will be true.

Nigeria, in order to improve development and HDI, along with ease of doing Business, has annouced that it will plan Vision 2100, It is supposed to turn Nigeria into a developed/advanced country, and economic superpower in the future.

As Nigeria continues to improve it's economy through the Industrial and Technological Corridor Plans, that still won't be enough to turn Nigeria into an Economic Superpower, Vision 2100 will.

Currently, Vision 2100 is in planning and is now being planned by the Nigerian Ministries of Economy, Development and Environment, This is believed to bring a better future to the Nigerian People. As Nigeria suffers from Poverty and Poor Development, This will help the country kill it's problems. Nonetheless, Nigerian Government Officals are excitied about the Vision, as well as the People and Investors.
