Greedy of Mining

Once upon a time, in a kingdom led by King Namrud, mining was a source of energy and finance. Mining allows the country to make a lot of money. However, unfortunately the greed of the king and his family meant that the management of the mine was carried out carelessly.

The king wanted all the mines to be controlled by the king and his family. No one was given the power to carry out mining unless they made concessions to the royal family. Anyone who wanted to be involved in managing the mine had to follow the wishes of the King and his family.

People are forced to follow his will. If someone opposes him, he will not hesitate to kill him in an unusual way. Resistance will be silenced by eliminating or even killing them.

Several times King Namrud deliberately gathered his people in the city center square when opponents were arrested and about to be executed. He immediately stood on the podium and said.

"My people, the state is obliged to maintain the stability and security of the state. If there is a rioter then it is my responsibility as a leader to get rid of him on behalf of the state. If left without firm action it will endanger the state."

The king's words were not only to tell his opponents wrong, but to threaten that anyone who would oppose would surely suffer the same fate.

Everyone was still listening tensely. People who see it will certainly feel afraid and will not dare to refute it. They were aware that the king had enormous power.

After the execution was carried out, the cronies applauded so that the people present joined in clapping. They are well aware that the people do not have any power. Everything was regulated by the king and his family. All rules must be adjusted to the king's will. King Namrud's orders are law.

If there are regulations that are deemed not to support King Namrud's actions, he will immediately ask the legislative body to immediately change them so that nothing is usually done by the constitution.

Likewise, all energy mining regulations are regulated so that there is only a mining monopoly by the king's family. All natural resources, whether energy mines, industry or mines that sell on the international market, are controlled by cronies of the King Namrud family.

Initially, fossil fuels were used entirely for daily needs. Exploration and continued with large-scale mining exploitation. Especially when international market prices for energy mines increase.

The government is proud to exploit mining resources in all regions. From offshore mining to mines on land, massive exploitation occurs. They don't think about the negative impacts. They don't realize that this mine will run out one day.
After years of mining, energy mine reserves are increasingly depleting. Mining results are decreasing. Exploration is also being carried out less and less because of the very large costs. State finances are increasingly in deficit. Fuel and electricity supplies were disrupted. Electricity can be out for weeks and there is no fuel, while peacocks have to continue living.

People who initially could only complain gradually dared to protest. The protests became bigger and eventually received widespread support from the military, which apparently had sympathy for the people's suffering.
They also realize that they come from the people. So it is time for them to be among the people. They realized that the people's screams of suffering were the screams of their own families. Those who were previously only tools of power began to realize that they were tools of the state. When a country is controlled by tyranny, they must have the courage to uphold the truth.

A growing wave of protests with widespread support meant they succeeded in forcing the family to hand over power. King Namrud and his family were arrested at the airport when they wanted to flee abroad.
Trials for crimes committed by the king and his family were carried out quickly. Judges and prosecutors were chosen by people who were competent and had no indication of belonging to the network of the king's family.
The court's decision was to confiscate all the assets of the king and his cronies, freeze all the accounts of the king and his family, and immediately execute the king and several figures who were proven to be responsible for all the country's chaos.
Penalties of impoverishment and social work have been given to perpetrators of crimes against the state during this time. Everything was done quickly so that the country could finally be saved again.
