Majatran National Resistance Committees

The Majatran National Resistance Committees (MNRC) is a collective term for a coalition of Islamic and Majatran political organizations operating in the nation of Pontesi. Founded in 2383 by the charismatic activist Mohammed Al-Fayiz, the MNRC describe themselves as socialist, with Majatran nationalist and (occasionaly) Muslim background.

History
Pontesi's Muslim and Majatran communities have existed for centuries, predating the migration of the predominant Slavic culture in some areas. Though throughout most of the country's history the rulers were tolerant of Majatrans, the minority remained comparitively poor and many Muslims found themselves homeless and overworked. This created a political niche for Majatran nationalist groups, the most famous being the Majatran Liberation Army (with Ba'athist leanings) and the Democratic Popular Front of Al-Pantezi (Marxist-Leninist). Many smaller socialist and Islamic groups formed, but there was no unity and many parties clashed violently with each other.

In the late 24th century, Mohammed Al-Fayiz, a non-partisan socialist activist, organized a united front to promote Majatran nationalism. He unified all the major parties and contacted a number of Fedayeen (guerrilla) organizations with the hope of creating a singular political force. In 2383, the newly-formed MNRC chose a party seal, a motto, and began working on a future flag and anthem for their goal: a Majatran Pontesi (to be officially named the 'Majatran Republic of Al-Pantezi').

Ideology
Though the wide variety of organizations in the MNRC allows for differing beliefs, the party is generally leftist in nature, with almost all of its representatives following Majatran socialism (Ba'athism) or Marxism. All member organizations believe in some variety of Majatran nationalism - i.e., they promote a unified Majatran state in the future. A handful of Muslim groups claim membership in the MNRC, but these generally follow socialist policies in addition to those of Islam.
