Orharan ceases further support
After the bombardment of the city of Lazurovo by the Visrodin Army, following the ongoing civil war with the SRA, the orharanian government has ceased any support for the Visrodin Government.
“Any Government needing to bomb it’s own citizens is a failed one!”
Foreign Minister Khada Maalouf has issued an official statement representing the orharanian position:
It is with great shock and disbelieve that we heard the current news from Visrodin! The use of chemical weapons against the people of visrodin was already one step too far. Sadly it was a step that we as Orharan have only taken as noticed without imposing any actual consequences. The consequences of our decision can be seen now in the city of Lazurovo. The Visrodin Army has commenced a bombardment destroying big parts of the city not only killing combatants but innocent citizens, who have nothing to do with the war. Whilst the picture we recieve from Lazurovo are shocking we can’t just stand and watch.
Orharan will officially stop any trade, agreement as well as informational-exchange with the Kingdom of Visrodin! Any government needing to bomb it’s own citizens is a failed one! We therefore urge any other nation to boycott the Kingdom of Visrodin to crippe the war-machine that is the Visrodin Army. This boycott will also affect the offered humanitarian aid, as we feel like there is no trust left in the Visrodin officials.
Furthermore we want to emphazise on the need of international help in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.
We especially urge the neighboring nations of Huawan, UPRAN and Hystaiga to offer help to refugees on their borders. Considering the killing of civilians by both the Visrodin Army and the mob-rule of the SRA we view this as the only ethic reaction!
Orharan is therefore willing and prepared to take over Visrodin refugees from anywhere for the duration of the civil war.
I and the Prime Minister hope that the bloodshed will soon end and that those responsible for any warcrime shall receive their just punishment!"
The importance of Lazurovo
Lazurovo is the currently the biggest city under the control of the SRA and seen as the de-facto capital of the republican forces. With it’s sea access it is considered, by the Orharanian Intelligence Agency (OIA), to be one of the most important headquarters as it can receive goods from outside and therefore provision SRA-troops on the fields. It is thereby believed by the OIA that the bombardment was aimed directly at the supply lines of the SRA.
However as there is practically no contact with Visrodin officials this information can only be considered an estimate by the OIA.
Protests against Visrodin
After the first news about the bombardment thousands of orharanians protested against the government of the Kingdom of Visrodin in Orhar. They demand consequences for those responsible and firm actions by the orharanian government against Visrodin. Whilst the protests are attended by differing groups it is especially students who take part in protesting, with the University of Orhar stating that lectures are being put to a halt until wednesday as it is not possible to hold them as of now.
Not all of Orharan agrees with the Governments decision
Both the far-left Orharanian Workers Party (OWP) and the far-right New Orharanian Front (NOF) condemned the dicision by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
For example the leader of the OWP Nader Bahadori has stated on social media:
“It is ludacrous that our government decided to stop the help for the SRA, claiming their unjust treatment of warmongers and slavers! The people of Visrodin grew sick of their lords and decided to fight for their freedom. And what do they get for that? Gassed like pests and shelled into oblivion! And instead of helping them in their fight for justice we just talk and leave them alone by themselves. Their blood is inevitably on our hand just as it is on the hands of the Visrodin Army!”
Praise and critizism on the other hand came from the NOF. Their officals have stated that the stop of any aid for the people of Visrodin means less support for the war itself, as it would give the armies supplies for further fighting as well as “punch a hole in the orharanian national budget”. Nevertheless did the NOF critizise the call to take Visrodin refugees. On social media one NOF representative stated:
“Whilst Orharan is suffering from the lack of economic perspective our govenrment plans on straining our society even more by taking in refugees from Visrodin. Whilst it sure is sad what happens in their country we can’t save everyone. Also considering those terrorists of the SRA, killing and raping their own people in public just because the were owning what they have rightously earned, we expose our own people to their gruesome mentality! Wo promisses that those communists won’t make stop at our great nation? We can’t invite potential terrorists!”
