Two of the principal creators of Disco Elysium have published a statement accusing the new owners of developer Studio ZA/UM of taking over the company by fraud, saying that they are now exploring legal options. Those new owners have, for their part, said that these creators were fired last year for refusing to discharge their work responsibilities and for creating a toxic work environment at the troubled RPG game studio. In October, Studio ZA/UM cofounder Martin Luiga posted a somewhat cryptic statement on Medium titled The Dissolution of the ZA/UM Cultural Association. In it, Luiga revealed that he was no longer working at the company, and neither were cofounder and game director Robert Kurvitz, writer Helen Hindpere, or art director Aleksander Rostov. They had stopped working at ZA/UM at the end of 2021, he wrote, and said that “their leaving the company was involuntary.” The ZA/UM Cultural Association was a distinct entity from Studio ZA/UM, the game developer – the Cultural Association was a loose collective of artists and writers whose ideas formed the basis of Disco Elysium and its world. Under his name at the end of the note, Luiga indicated that he had written it from a psychiatric inpatient clinic in Tallinn, Estonia, and elsewhere he has said that conditions at the studio prior to his departure in late 2021 had “driven him to drink.” In a new Medium post published November 9, Rostov writes that the majority owner of Studio ZA/UM, an Estonian investor named Margus Linnamae, was bought out of his share of the company in 2021 by a minority shareholder, another Estonian company called Tütreke OÜ. Its owners, Ilmar Kompus and Tõnis Haavel, later fired Kurvitz, Hindpere, and Rostov. The reasons for the firing are a contentious matter. In a statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz, the studio claims the creators had effectively stopped attending to their daily work responsibilities and treated other employees disrespectfully, including subjecting them to verbal abuse and gender discrimination. The new owners also spoke with Estonian news outlet Eesti Ekspress, alleging a toxic work environment at the studio. However, in their new Medium post, Kurvitz and Rostov claim that, shortly after taking control of the company, Kompus and Haavel excluded the original creators from daily operations and fired them a few weeks after they asked for company documents and financial information. Kurvitz and Rostov go on to say that they believe the share buyout itself was fraudulent, and that they are discussing their legal options in both Estonia and the United Kingdom. “Until now, we’ve refrained from speaking out. This has been entirely voluntary, out of consideration for the people still working at ZA/UM – and for our own mental health. But given the severity of our suspicions – and the seriousness of the evidence we have – we think it’s time people knew what has transpired at the company.” In their statement to GamesIndustry.biz, ZA/UM’s new owners say the fired creators, in addition to creating a toxic workplace for other employees, also attempted to “illegally sell to other gaming companies ZA/UM’s intellectual property with the aim of undermining the rest of the team. “ZA/UM cannot and will not tolerate egregious misconduct, even from individuals who, along with the broader team, have contributed to a game that we are exceptionally proud of and that continues to capture imaginations across the globe,” the studio’s statement reads. “The rumour that our decision to terminate the contracts of these individuals was taken for financial gain is entirely unfounded and does not in any way reflect the facts,” the new owners continue. “It was a decision that had to be taken for the wellbeing of the collective. Further, ZA/UM denies any claim of financial malfeasance or fraud that is being held against us. The vast majority of profits from Disco Elysium have been invested back into the studio in order to fund our next projects, which are currently in development.” PCGamesN has reached out to Rostov and to Studio ZA/UM for additional comment on the allegations and we will update this story with any response we receive. https://www.pcgamesn.com/disco-elysium/creators-trade-accusations-with-zaum-owners

Why did the Beja Council adopt not to recognize Khartoum? The Political Committee of the Beja Optical Council announced itself as an interim government in eastern Sudan, in refusal of what it describes as Khartoum's procrastination in implementing its demands to allocate a forum for discussing eastern issues instead of the Juba Peace Agreement. The committee said in a statement that "in rejection of Khartoum's procrastination in implementing the demands of our people and its insistence on the exclusion of our people, and in accordance with the right guaranteed to all peoples of the world to self-determination, the Beja Supreme Council - the Political Secretariat, declares that the Beja Council is the sovereign authority recognized by the people of the region and officially delegated From this people to hold a remarkable meeting in Sinkat, and we declare that the supreme body of the Council is the customary legislative parliament of the region, and that the Sovereign Self-Determination Committee with its specialized committees is the interim executive ministerial government of the region, and that customary ownership of land is the basis of land ownership in the region until the establishment of a deliberative authority Always". The statement added that based on the foregoing, the committee declares "it does not recognize the Khartoum government or any other central authority, institution or administration that lays its hand on our natural resources, wealth and freedoms before reaching an agreement between the authority of the region and the government of Sudan." The committee affirmed "the right of the temporary authority of the region to establish multiple self-governing institutions for governance, administration and conduct of affairs, and to build regular military forces to defend the people and rights, and to play the security and police role in the region." The statement added, "The basis on which we are walking is the rights of our people sti[CENSORED]ted in the decisions of the fateful Sankat Conference for the Beja 2020, which are based on self-rule on the basis of land and culture. He died for righteousness." Why is the Beja Council divided? Last June, the head of the Beja Council, al-Nazer Muhammad al-Amin, announced his resignation from the presidency of the council and the freezing of his activities after accusing some members of his leadership office of trying to hijack the council and to speak in its name without authorization. The council’s rapporteur and its spokesman, Abdullah Obshar, had implicitly accused the head of the Sovereign Council, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), who is charged with supervising the east of the country, of distributing cars to leaders in the council to control it, and of continuing to freeze the Juba Agreement (the eastern path), and of not agreeing to a new forum for eastern issues. Sudan. This dispute led to the split of the Beja Council, which re-elected Turk as its president, and another party held a conference that chose Ibrahim Adrob as president as well. What is the message of the Beja Council of the threat of secession? Ahmed Musa, lawyer and legal advisor to the Beja Optical Council headed by Muhammad Al-Amin Turk, says that the statement issued by the Political Committee represents the dissenting current from Al-Nazir Turk. Moussa explains in an interview with Al Jazeera Net that Turk had set the end of next December as the last deadline for the federal government to create a special platform to solve the problem of eastern Sudan or decide the fate of the region, but he took another position after joining last week to a new alliance in the name of the Forces of Freedom and Change - the Democratic bloc, which It includes the Democratic Unionist Party led by Muhammad Othman al-Mirghani and the armed movements in Darfur. The coalition adopted a position calling for the amendment of the constitutional document for 2019, and the amendment sti[CENSORED]ted that the new prime minister hold a platform for eastern Sudan 30 days after assuming his duties. Lawyer Ahmed Musa says that the second current believes that the current settlement efforts to resolve the Sudanese crisis ignore eastern Sudan, and wants to send a message to those who lead the settlement from the International Quartet (the United States, Britain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE), and the African Tripartite Commission that sponsors dialogue between the parties to the crisis in Sudan. Sudan. What is the fate of the eastern Sudan track in the Juba Agreement? Ibrahim Dirar, who is interested in issues in eastern Sudan, believes that the eastern path has died and is difficult to implement, and that the situation in the country has overtaken it. He believes that this path is a victim of conflicts and competition between social and tribal components in the eastern region. Which lost political and economic gains sti[CENSORED]ted in the agreement. Dirar told Al Jazeera Net that the tribal leaders of eastern Sudan had convictions that the region had lost a lot due to the differences among them, and that the region's marginalization would continue if they did not unite and put pressure on Khartoum. The Eastern Sudan Track Agreement was signed on October 3, 2020 between the government, the Po[CENSORED]r Front and the Beja Congress. It sti[CENSORED]ted the implementation of development programs in the region, and set percentages for the participation of the East in the central government and the three states that make up eastern Sudan; They are the Red Sea, Kassala and Gedaref. However, the agreement faced the opposition of tribal leaders in the region, led by the Hadandawa tribe, which formed with other tribes the "Supreme Council of Beja Eyes." The council adopted a campaign to cancel the track on the pretext that it does not represent the people of the region and their interests. And between the last September 17 and October 27, the council implemented a comprehensive closure of the ports on the Red Sea coast, land roads, the airport and the railway, and the closure was lifted after the army seized power following the “coup” carried out by the army commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan. https://www.aljazeera.net/news/politics/2022/11/9/تجديد-التلويح-بانفصال-شرق-السودان-سحب

The World Health Organization said today, Wednesday, that the number of deaths from infection with Covid-19 disease has decreased sharply since last winter. The Director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that around 9,400 deaths linked to Covid-19 were recorded globally last week. This represents a decrease of about 90% from deaths last February, which saw the peak of deaths due to COVID-19 this year at 75,000. Tedros explained that while this is a positive development, many people are still dying as well. He added that "about 10,000 deaths a week is a very large number, for a disease that can be prevented and treated." "Covid-19 is still a pandemic," WHO epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove noted. About 2.1 million new infections were recorded globally last week. On the other hand, aggregate data showed that the total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide has exceeded 632.9 million to date. The latest data available on the Johns Hopkins University website showed that the total number of injuries reached 633 million and 364 thousand. The total deaths due to the pandemic rose to 6 million 602 thousand and 887 deaths. https://www.aljazeera.net/news/2022/11/9/منظمةالصحة-العالمية-تعلن-انخفاض
