Dakar Dispute

The Dakar Dispute was a political conflict between the Oken and the Perat.

Background

The son of late Living King and Leader of the Oken Harakar Oken, Dakar Oken announced over the radio, on 1-1 22 PC that Kuzakar Oken's election as the Leader of the Oken was illegitimate and announced the beginning of an "operation" to have the Oken Kadrike placed under his control. Moments later men loyal to Dakar carried out multiple attacks across the Oken Kadrike, an attack in the Sartak Kadrike and an attack in Niueyjar on Dakar's orders, starting Dakar's Uprising. The attack in Niueyjar freed the former High Director of the East Oken Company, Ahabakar Oken, from the Clan Osteg Prison Complex, who returned to the Eastern Ocean. Ahabakar and his forces attacked Paradise Island on 30-3. High Director of Paradise Island, Trikot Perat surrendered shortly after the attack and was promptly executed.

Dakar's Uprising ended on 17-1 23 PC when Kuzakar and his allies captured Dakar and the remainder of the Greater Oksken Area.

Dispute

Attempts to transfer Dakar to the Perat

On 27-1 23 PC, the Perat requested the Oken hand over Dakar Oken for trial over the death of Trikot Perat. Kuzakar declined the request citing the need to first try him in the Oken Court.

Several members of the Perat were arrested in the Oken Kadrike on 15-2 after attempting to use falsified documents to transfer Dakar into Perat custody. Kuzakar released the arrested members shortly after to avoid escalating the situation.

Leader of the Perat, Eltok Perat formally requested Living King Artak Arkara's intervention in getting the Oken to hand over Dakar Oken to the Perat on 19-2. On the same day Kuzakar formally requested Artak Arkara's not to intervene in the Dakar Dispute between the Oken and the Perat.

Artak's intervention

Artak did not side with either party directly and instead begun "Brown walking" in an attempt to ask the Kings in Brown for advice on what to do regarding the Dakar Dispute. Artak had done this without telling anyone and the Living Press first reported that he had done this on 1-3. Artak awoke from his coma on 10-3 and the next day announced that the Kings in Brown advised him to declare Dakar Oken an "Aide to the Spirits" –a term first used in this announcement by Artak– and to execute him before all the Kadrike leaders and ossbosches of Akaria and lands beyond. Following the announcement Artak's 10th Dictate was issued. The Dictate defined what an Aide to the Spirits was, granted the Living King the right to brand someone an Aide to the Spirits, allowed the Living King to personally execute an Aide to the Spirits if the Council of Akaria is summoned before him and are given sufficient time to arrive and allowed the Living King to summon the Council of Akaria for an execution. After the Dictate was issued Artak branded Dakar Oken an Aide to the Spirits and summoned the Council of Akaria to Ablesken for his execution, which was done on 8-4, ending the Dakar Dispute.
