Strike continues, Government decides upon conscription

Utter poverty for all island inhabitants is the result of the strike of the shipping profession. In a time when all homes are finding it difficult to get by, the fact that ships are docked is making the situation even harder.

There is an price increase for basic goods as well as a halt to all national exports from the islands to the mainland, causing financial difficulties for merchants.

According to sources, the decision for conscription has been made and is about to be announced.
