The Ireem Chronicles

Bedouins Riot in the City?

According to eye witness reports, a large number of Bedouins, who were led by their leader Antar, were seen attacking an unknown man in the middle of the city.  It was then that one of our honorable knights came to the aid of the man and tried to diffuse the situation, reminding the Bedouins armed gang about the no weapon law in the city.  Antar was seen turning to the knight and threatening to beat and rape him.  Several citizens came to the aid of the lone knight but they were threatened with all kinds of nasty retribution as well.   

 When the Chronicles tried to reach out to the Bedouins leadership to comment on the matter, it was met with a flat refusal.  Whether this is due to the lack of money Chronicles was offering up front or the fact that our reporter was too well dressed, was not immediately clear.  However, despite the refusal to talk to our reporter, we have managed to speak to several high ranking members of the Bedouin Community, who will remain anonymous for the time being.  When they were speaking to our reporter, they all displayed a serious degree of concern about their leadership. 

It seemed that, despite winning the election, the leader of Bedouins is having a hard time of winning over the heart and soul of his people, especially the elders who have recently been very opinionated about the direction of the leadership.  Some of the complaints involved the manner Antar was leading his people in to various wars for the smallest of reasons, yet openly tolerating and even helping to cover up some of his commanders’ crimes. An example of that was to flood the court with the Bedouins when one of his commanders was tried for rape and trying to intimidate the jury and influence the decision (which ultimately failed as the said commander, who is now a knight, was found guilty of the rape). 

In the next week, the Chronicles will carry out a survey among the Bedouin people and ask if they approve of the current leadership and direction of the Bedouins.  Once the poll results are in, the Chronicles will publish the results and ask some of the Bedouin members to comment on that. 

(P.S. The Chronicles would like to extend out thanks to the secret donor from the Najdi Clan for sponsoring the opinion poll)
