Summit At OVER The Major Summit at OVER in Quadrant 5 finished around 3199.200. Here is an account of the discussion and main points of agreement.

Widespread Riots Challenge Government Dateline 3199.208 Grus Q3 Grussian police have arrested more than 250 people following fresh riots in and around Pitsville and other parts of the colony. Nearly 900 vehicles were burnt on the ninth consecutive night of unrest in immigrant-dominated areas near Pittsville, despite a heavy police presence. Nurseries and a school were burnt overnight and unrest spread to four other cities in the colony.. Hundreds of people have heard a call for calm at a rally in one of the Pittsville suburbs worst hit. The mayor of the district, made the appeal to marchers outside a fire station which had come under attack. But youths at the rally in the suburb's rundown Gore estate predicted violence would continue until tough-talking Interior Minister Suzanne Baker resigned. Muslim and Christianit leaders were expected to join the march along with the families of the two youths whose deaths triggered the unrest. Local people say they were killed while fleeing police - a claim the authorities deny. Inquiries are under way.
