MoloNews 24+

This will be the home of Molowaku's news, MoloNews 24+. Named aptly from the region's premier media network, MoloNetwork (based on Molowaku, of course), MoloNews 24+ hosts to news from Molowaku. It has been started from my home alliance, Alliance of Fuel Developing Nations (AFDES), and now, it comes to here at SimSports for you to enjoy. My strategy for the newscasts is short and to the point news that comes from the four regions of Molowaku, namely Oahu, Harrison, Newton, and Kalamerton, with some updates on Saint Paul, the nation's capital, and hopefully, I can publish my updates daily because my news never stops.

Here's the latest news from Molowaku:

Murenga a "Disaster Zone", Says Official - Murenga Island has been named a "Disaster Zone" by a Kalamerton Regional Development Specialist because of the amount of lava that has gone down from the volcano to the town of Murenga, and it has devastated dozens of homes and farmlands as a result; the total damage cost is still being assessed, but relief is on the way for the affected victims.

Harrison Town on Lookout for Pirates - Despite security forces from the Molowaku Royal Navy Force watching the waters around the archipelago, the Town of Pristina in the Harrison Region has set up surveillance and infrared cameras along its long beach front and coastlines to watch for "unwanted" pirates who desperately want to seek refuge in the town; nine pirates have been caught, but they were released after signing proper documentation.
