Statement on Airstrike Incident in Tanagra on Pohnarras
PRESS RELEASE


The Federal Air Force of Krauanagaz deeply regrets an unfortunate incident that occurred during an operation last night on Pohnarras Island, resulting in the loss of civilian lives and injuries to others. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families affected by this tragedy and wish a speedy recovery to those injured - who have since been evacuated from the island.

The incident occurred during a significant spike in militant activity in the town of Tanagra, prompting the Federal Air Force to undertake a precision airstrike targeting a known militant stronghold on Pohnarras Island. Our forces acted per established protocols and intelligence reports, with the primary objective of neutralizing imminent threats to civilian safety and restoring peace and stability to the area. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to accurately identify and target hostile elements, a tragic error occurred, leading to the misidentification of a group of fleeing civilians as militants. We deeply regret this unintended loss of innocent lives and are conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident to determine the cause and prevent such occurrences in the future.

The Federal Air Force remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and accountability in all our operations. We will work closely with federal and provincial authorities to support and assist the affected families, including compensation for damages and access to medical care and counseling services. As we mourn the loss of innocent lives, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all civilians in Krauanagaz and beyond. The Federal Air Force will continue to adapt and improve our operational procedures to minimize the risk of civilian casualties and uphold our duty to protect innocent lives in conflict zones.

We thank the public for their understanding and patience as we navigate this challenging situation and pledge to learn from this tragedy to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Federal Human Rights Commission
Condemnation of Discriminatory Laws in Akarina
Statement


The Krauanagaz Federal Human Rights Commission (FHRC) expresses its profound dismay and condemnation regarding the recent enactment of discriminatory laws in Akarina. These laws, which criminalize same-sex sexual activity and prohibit legal gender changes, represent a severe violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms.

The new legislation, which penalizes same-sex sexual activity with up to five days in jail and a 6,000-Rū fine, is a blatant attack on the LGBTQ+ community. This law not only infringes on the basic rights of individuals to express their identities and love freely but also perpetuates a culture of discrimination and intolerance that Southern Cordilia knows all too well. The FHRC stands firmly against any form of legislation that seeks to marginalize and oppress individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Furthermore, the prohibition on legal gender changes is a retrogressive measure that denies individuals the right to self-identify and live authentically. By dismissing the legitimate concerns and needs of transgender and non-binary individuals, the Akarinan government is woefully disregarding the principles of dignity, respect, and equality that should be the cornerstone of any just society. The government’s statement asking people to worry about “actual issues” is not only dismissive but also undermines the lived experiences and struggles of countless individuals seeking only recognition and acceptance.

The FHRC calls upon the Akarinan government to repeal these unjust laws immediately and to uphold the universal principles of human rights and equality.
Human rights are universal and indivisible, and the FHRC remains committed to advocating for the rights of all people. We stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community at home, in Akarina, and around the world. Our commitment to fight against discrimination and to promote equality and justice for all stands unwavering.

Addressing the National Emergency Declaration
Transcript of Delivered Statement


Good evening, my fellow Krauanagazans,

Tonight, I stand before you during a time of great uncertainty for our nation. Recent events domestically have tested our resolve and have left us with heavy hearts and anxious minds. I want to assure you that your government is working tirelessly to navigate these challenging times and to protect our people and our way of life.

Over the past few days, we have witnessed a series of troubling incidents that have escalated tensions and threatened our national security and that of Mitallduk. On the morning of May 21, our State Department lost contact with our embassy in Mitallduk, following an emergency alert from the embassy’s security system. Despite numerous attempts, we have been unable to re-establish communication with our diplomatic staff. This was preceded the night before by an explosion at the Mitallduk Confederacy Refugee Office in Ta’ana, fortunately with no reported injuries.

Moreover, we have received reports of increasing violence and instability along our border with Mitallduk. Gunshots and explosions have been heard, and our defense officials have taken necessary actions to secure the border areas. Tragically, we have also confirmed the death of Daman Kullan, who was killed by rogue elements while attempting to evacuate to Krauanagaz.

These events have led to a surge of refugees crossing into Northern Krauanagaz, seeking safety from the conflict engulfing Mitallduk. We are witnessing a humanitarian crisis unfold, and we urge the international community to send whatever aid can be spared.

In response to these developments, we have taken several decisive actions to safeguard our nation. We have moved to DEFCON 3, an elevated level of military readiness, and have recalled all servicemembers to their units. Our air defense systems in Northern Krauanagaz have been activated, and civilian air traffic is being rerouted to ensure safety. After coordination with the Ludoraiya, a national state of emergency has been declared to expand the powers of the office of the Krauanaet, allowing us to more effectively and quickly respond to the crises afflicting our nation.

We are working diligently to secure our borders and to provide aid and support to those fleeing the violence in Mitallduk and Southern Krauanagaz. Our immediate priority is to ensure the safety of our citizens and diplomatic staff and to restore communication and stability.

We are in close communication with our international allies and organizations, seeking their support and cooperation during this critical time. It is imperative that the global community stands together in the face of such challenges. I would like to thank our friends and partners in the South Cordilian Counterterrorism Task Force, who play vital roles in efforts to restore peace and order in Southern Cordilia.

I urge all citizens of Krauanagaz to remain calm and united. Our strength lies in our unity and our resilience. Let us stand together, support one another, and demonstrate the unyielding spirit that defines our great nation. Cooperation with local authorities and adherence to safety guidelines are essential as we navigate through these turbulent times.

Rest assured, your government is fully committed to addressing this situation with the utmost diligence and care. We are exploring all avenues to ensure the safety of our diplomatic staff and citizens and to bring about a swift resolution to this crisis. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take all necessary actions to protect our nation and its people.

Together, we will overcome these challenges and emerge stronger. I have full confidence in our ability to navigate through this crisis, securing a better future for all.

Thank you, and may Krauanagaz forever stand united.

Statement
For Immediate Release


We are appalled and deeply troubled by the recent raid on Pasture’s offices in Mitallduk, as reported to us by the organization. Such brazen acts of aggression against avenues of speech and media outlets are not only reprehensible but also a direct assault on the fundamental principles of free speech and expression.

The detention of Pasture’s staff members who are not Mitalldukish citizens is a grave violation of their rights and a clear infringement on the freedoms that we hold dear. We condemn this unjust and violent action in the strongest possible terms and demand the immediate release of all detained individuals.

Furthermore, we have received alarming reports indicating that our own diplomatic staff and ambassador to Mitallduk have too been detained by a force identifying themselves as the ‘Takaran People’s Army.’ This development is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about the safety and well-being of our personnel.

We still have not had any communications with recognized authorities in Mitallduk however we are working tirelessly to make contact and secure the release of our detained colleagues.

The Krauanagazan government stands in solidarity with Pasture, its employees, and all individuals who have been unjustly detained or subjected to violence. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and will provide updates as we receive more information.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by these distressing events, and we remain committed to upholding the principles of democracy, freedom, and human rights, both at home and abroad.

We categorically refute the portrayal of the situation in Krauanagaz as a “black hole” by Kliegmean officials. Such characterization not only lacks nuance, but also fails to acknowledge the multifaceted challenges facing our nation amid the ongoing regional crisis.

We acknowledge the significant contributions made by the Starhawk Pact, @Kliegme, and other nations in providing both military and humanitarian aid. This support has been invaluable and is deeply appreciated by the people of Krauanagaz. However, it is crucial to recognize that the situation in Krauanagaz is not simply a matter of receiving aid but involves a multifaceted and dynamic set of challenges that require time, perseverance, and continued cooperation to address effectively.

The Krauanagazan government has been working tirelessly to stabilize the nation amidst crisis after crisis, fueled by deep-rooted regional instability, cross-border and domestic militant activities, and a significant humanitarian burden due to the influx of refugees from Mitallduk and Southern Krauanagaz. Despite the considerable efforts and resources dedicated to these issues, the sheer scale and rapid onset of the problems have made macro improvements difficult.

Contrary to the claims of ‘governmental foresight’ by Kliegmean officials in their withdrawl, Krauanagaz remains committed to upholding its responsibilities to its citizens and our international guests. The assertion that our government has been ineffective in utilizing international aid is not only misleading, but also dismisses the substantial progress made in several key areas, including the provision of essential health services, the protection of civilians, and the strengthening of our national security infrastructure evident in the defense of Alkantara and the liberation of Pohnarras Island.

Kliegme’s decision to hastily withdraw assets and citizens from Krauanagaz, which was insulting to the people of Krauanagaz, cannot be retroactively upheld as a display of ‘governmental foresight.’ Such revisionist framing conveniently ignores the complexities and uncertainties inherent in crisis situations and disregards the ongoing efforts of the Krauanagazan government to address the challenges at hand. The withdrawal was nothing short of tucking tail and running off, no other nation has taken such drastic action aside from Zuhlgan— whose diplomatic outposts are being targeted.

We reject any insinuation that Krauanagazan authorities have failed to improve the situation despite international aid. The reality is that our nation continues to grapple with security, economic, and humanitarian challenges exacerbated by regional instability and militant threats. We urge our international partners, including Kliegme, to continue to stand with Krauanagaz during this dire time. Abandoning the collaborative efforts and solidarity that have been the backbone of our approach thus far will only serve to exacerbate the crisis and prolong the suffering of innocent people.

Despite the setbacks and obstacles we face, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and effective use of resources. We invite Kliegmean officials and representatives from other nations to engage in constructive dialogue and to witness firsthand the ongoing efforts and challenges on the ground. By working together, we can foster a more accurate understanding of the situation and develop more effective strategies for long-term stability and prosperity in the region.

Krauanagazan State Department will continue to work tirelessly to address the needs of our people and to build a brighter future for all.

Federal Human Rights Commission Findings on Pohnarras Island

Date: May 31, 2024

Introduction

The primary objective of the OCIJ investigation on Pohnarras Island was to determine the veracity and extent of allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The scope of this OCIJ investigation was limited to Pohnarras Island and the surrounding waters, focusing on incidents that occurred between February 22, 2024, and May 8, 2024. The investigation concentrated on the regions of Arrasos, K’larain, Bataklasos, Tagara, Tanagra, and Parnasos.


Executive Summary

The OCIJ found multiple violations of international humanitarian and conflict law by various parties, including Red K (RK), the Messengers of Tallaz (MOT), the Zuhlgani Air Force, and the Kevpríg Provincial Militia.

Key findings include:

  • Massacres of ethnically Mitalldukish citizens by MOT militants in Tagara, Tanagra, and Parnasos.
  • Killing of detained militants by Kevpríg Provincial Militia in Parnasos and Arrasos.
  • An airstrike in K’larain by the Zuhlgani Air Force that killed seven noncombatants and injured ten others.
  • Arbitrary executions of individuals who refused to identify Mitalldukish neighbors by RK and MOT in Bataklasos, Tagara, Tanagra, and Parnasos.
  • Prolific arson attacks by RK and MOT in Bataklasos.

Methodology

  1. Evidence Collection:
  • Interviews: Conducted interviews with survivors, witnesses, and local officials.

  • Document Analysis: Reviewed medical records, death certificates, and official reports.

  • Field Visits: Visited affected areas to gather physical evidence and assess the extent of damage.

  1. Evidence Analysis:
  • Cross-referenced testimonies with physical evidence and documented reports.

  • Collaborated with forensic experts to analyze injury patterns and causes of death.

  1. Challenges and Limitations:
  • Intimidation of witnesses by militant groups hampered comprehensive testimony collection.

  • Lack of cooperation from Zuhlgani authorities.


Findings

1. War Crimes:

  1. Massacres of Ethnically Mitalldukish Citizens:
  • Tagara: In Tagara, the investigators documented a series of coordinated attacks by MOT militants, resulting in the deaths of at least 85 Mitalldukish civilians. Eyewitness accounts and forensic evidence confirmed the systematic targeting of this ethnic group.

  • Tanagra: In Tanagra, 67 Mitalldukish civilians were killed in a massacre by MOT militants. Survivors recounted that militants used small arms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to carry out these attacks inside homes and in the streets.

  • Parnasos: In Parnasos, 53 Mitalldukish civilians were confirmed killed. Forensic analysis corroborated reports of executions, with many victims found with gunshot wounds to the head and signs of torture.

  1. Executions by Kevpríg Provincial Militia:
  • Parnasos: In Parnasos, the Kevpríg Provincial Militia was found to have executed 24 detained militants. Witnesses described how detainees were taken from holding cells and shot at close range.

  • Arrasos: In Arrasos, the Kevpríg Provincial Militia executed 15 detained militants. Testimonies indicated that the executions were carried out without any judicial process, and bodies were disposed of in mass graves that were excavated by investigators.

  1. Airstrike by Zuhlgani Air Force:
  • K’larain: An airstrike in K’larain by the Zuhlgani Air Force resulted in the deaths of seven (7) noncombatants and injuries to ten (10) others. Investigations revealed that it is probable that the Zuhlgani Air Force was aware they were conducting a bombing of a civilian area. Forensic evidence collected at the site was consistent with Zuhlgani aerial munitions.

2. Crimes Against Humanity:

  1. Arbitrary Executions:
  • Bataklasos: RK and MOT militants executed individuals who refused to identify Mitalldukish neighbors. Witnesses recounted seeing militants go door-to-door, demanding information and executing those who refused to comply. At least 30 civilians were confirmed to have been killed in these executions.

  • Tagara, Tanagra, Parnasos: Similar patterns of arbitrary executions were documented in these regions. In total, 94 civilians were executed across these areas for their refusal to cooperate with RK and MOT militants.

  1. Arson Attacks:
  • Bataklasos: RK and MOT militants carried out widespread arson attacks, destroying homes, schools, and hospitals. Investigators found evidence of incendiary devices used to start fires, which led to the destruction of approximately 200 buildings and the displacement of over 2,000 residents. At least 137 individuals are confirmed to have been killed in the flames, a majority of which remain unidentified at this time.

3. Impact on Civilians:

  • Survivor Testimonies: Collected detailed accounts from survivors and witnesses, highlighting the traumatic impact on civilians.

  • Humanitarian Crisis: Noted severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies in affected areas due to the conflict.


Legal Analysis

These acts constitute gross violations of the Grovne Convention and additional protocols. These acts, too, are breaches of national criminal statutes related to murder, arson, torture, and unlawful detention.

Identified individuals and groups responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity must be held accountable through legal action in national and international courts. To such effect, the OCIJ recommends the following individuals be charged by the relevant authorities:

  1. Alkan Rasha (Red K Pohnarras Leader):
  • Charges: War crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, torture, arson, and unlawful detention.
  • Details: Alkan Rasha is alleged to have orchestrated and overseen the arbitrary executions and arson attacks carried out by Red K militants in Bataklasos, Tagara, Tanagra, and Parnasos.
  1. Aarin Talov (Messengers of Tallaz Commander):
  • Charges: War crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, torture, and arson.
  • Details: Jarin Talov is implicated in the massacres of ethnically Mitalldukish citizens in Tagara, Tanagra, and Parnasos, and for directing MOT militants in carrying out arbitrary executions and arson attacks.
  1. Colonel Eran Zulet (Zuhlgani Air Force):
  • Charges: War crimes, murder.
  • Details: Colonel Eran Zulet authorized and executed the airstrike in K’larain that resulted in the deaths of seven noncombatants and injuries to ten others, violating international humanitarian law by targeting a civilian area.
  1. Captain Irana Vesh (Kevpríg Provincial Militia):
  • Charges: War crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, and torture.
  • Details: Captain Irana Vesh is accused of ordering and participating in the executions of detained militants in Parnasos and Arrasos, as well as engaging in acts of torture.
  1. Second Lieutenant Harik Zhin (Kevpríg Provincial Militia):
  • Charges: War crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, and torture.
  • Details: Second Lieutenant Zhin, leader of the Kevpríg Provincial Militia First Battalion, Second Company, Third Platoon, is implicated in the unlawful execution of detained militants and the torture of prisoners of war in Parnasos and Arrasos.
  1. Lieutenant Rako Timar (Red K):
  • Charges: War crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, and arson.
  • Details: Lieutenant Rako Timar is accused of leading Red K units in carrying out arson attacks and arbitrary executions in Bataklasos, resulting in significant civilian casualties and property destruction.
  1. Lieutenant Faran Dekar (Messengers of Tallaz):
  • Charges: War crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, and torture.
  • Details: Major Faran Dekar played a key role in the massacres in Tanagra and Parnasos and is implicated in the systematic targeting of Mitalldukish civilians and the use of torture.

It is the OCIJ’s view that prosecuting offenders under national laws where feasible should take precedence. However, in some high-profile cases, referrals to international criminal courts may be in order. The following cases are recommended for international prosecution due to their severity and/or the need for impartial adjudication:

  • Alkan Rasha and Jarin Talov for orchestrating and executing widespread atrocities.

  • Colonel Eran Zulet for the unauthorized and indiscriminate airstrike resulting in civilian casualties.


Recommendations

The OCIJ has notified the appropriate National and International authorities
regarding our findings in the investigation on Pohnarras Island. It is the view of the OCIJ that these cases be treated with the utmost urgency and gravity due to the severe nature of the crimes committed. The following recommendations are made to ensure justice is served:

1. Legal Actions:

  1. The OCIJ recommends that the Krauanagazan government immediately initiate criminal proceedings against the identified individuals, leveraging national laws that address war crimes, crimes against humanity, murder, arson, torture, and unlawful detention. It is crucial for the national judicial system to work in close collaboration with the OCIJ to gather and present irrefutable evidence, ensuring that the trials are conducted transparently and adhere to the highest standards of justice.

  2. For cases involving high-profile suspects and where national prosecution may face limitations, the OCIJ advocates for referrals to the International Court (IC). This includes suspects like Alkan Rasha and Aarin Talov, whose actions have had a widespread and devastating impact on civilian populations. The OCIJ will provide comprehensive dossiers of evidence to the IC to support these prosecutions and facilitate international cooperation in apprehending and trying the accused.

  3. In instances where suspects have fled or are residing in foreign territories, the OCIJ recommends the Krauanagazan government issue formal extradition requests.

  4. The OCIJ advises the establishment of robust witness protection programs to safeguard the testimony of survivors and witnesses who can provide critical evidence against the accused. Ensuring their safety and anonymity is paramount to securing reliable and comprehensive testimonies.

2. Policy Changes:

  1. The OCIJ recommends regular training and sensitization programs for military and law enforcement personnel on international humanitarian law and human rights standards should be instituted to prevent abuses.

  2. The OCIJ strongly recommends establishing independent monitoring bodies to oversee military and police operations in conflict-prone areas to aid in early detection and prevention of potential human rights violations. These bodies should have the authority to investigate and report on any suspected misconduct promptly. In addition to this, the OCIJ recommends the creation of a comprehensive reporting system for civilians and military personnel to anonymously report potential war crimes and human rights abuses.

  3. It is the OCIJ’s view that launching nationwide campaigns to educate the public about their rights and the importance of reporting war crimes and human rights abuses can foster a culture of accountability and vigilance. These campaigns should be designed to reach diverse populations, including those in remote and conflict-affected areas, using various media platforms, and in all relevant languages. Particularly, Lupritalic, Federation Standard, Austral, Mitalldukish, Zul, and Krautalic.

  4. The OCIJ suggests integrating international humanitarian law and human rights education into school and university curricula to help in building a well-informed citizenry that values and upholds these principles. In the same vein, the OCIJ suggests specialized training programs for legal professionals, government officials, and security forces on handling war crimes and crimes against humanity should also be developed.


The OCIJ strongly believes that these recommendations, if implemented, will significantly contribute to achieving justice for the victims of the Pohnarras Island atrocities and will help prevent future occurrences. We urge the relevant authorities to act swiftly and decisively in response to our findings.


Conclusion

The investigation conducted by the OCIJ on Pohnarras Island has revealed grave and systematic violations of human rights, including war crimes and crimes against humanity. These atrocities, perpetrated by multiple parties, have caused profound suffering and loss among the civilian population, particularly the ethnically Mitalldukish community.

Immediate and decisive legal action is imperative to hold the perpetrators accountable and to deliver justice to the victims. The OCIJ’s findings underscore the necessity of both national and international judicial processes to address these heinous acts comprehensively. The recommended prosecutions and policy changes are essential steps toward ensuring accountability, preventing future violations, and fostering a culture of respect for human rights and international humanitarian law.

The OCIJ remains committed to supporting the Krauanagazan government and international bodies in their efforts to prosecute offenders, protect witnesses, and provide humanitarian aid to those affected by these crimes. Continued monitoring and advocacy are crucial to ensure that justice is served and that the rights and dignity of all individuals are upheld.

The Federal Human Rights Commission calls on the relevant authorities to act swiftly on these recommendations, ensuring that the atrocities committed on Pohnarras Island do not go unpunished and that effective measures are put in place to prevent such violations in the future. Through concerted efforts and unwavering commitment, we can achieve justice and contribute to lasting peace and stability in the region.

My fellow Krauanagazans,

I stand before you today at a moment of grave concern for our nation and our neighbors. Earlier today, our Defense Department reported a significant emergency just across our border in Mitallduk. The situation there has rapidly deteriorated, forcing thousands of individuals to flee their homes and seek refuge in Krauanagaz.

Late last night and early today, the Defense Intelligence Agency and local authorities began receiving alarming reports of widespread violence in Southeastern Mitallduk near the border, evidenced by a sudden wave of refugees fleeing into Krauanagaz via the eastern crossings. As time progressed it became clear that the violence was not contained to Southeastern Mitallduk.

By 0200, hundreds of vehicles were jamming roads leading to checkpoints further to the West. These columns of stalled traffic were attacked and looted by Purity Vanguard militants, according to eyewitness accounts recorded by immigration authorities. At 0500 the violence had shifted toward South Central Mitallduk, and spilled over into parts of Northern Krauanagaz. Around this time disturbing reports began to surface from refugees fleeing the ongoing violence. Eyewitnesses allege that Purity Vanguard forces sought out ethnically Krautali and Lupritali individuals and massacred them in 2 previously government-sanctioned refugee camps in South Central Mitallduk.

As the day continued, the violence showed no signs of abating. By midday, we received confirmed reports of multiple large-scale assaults on towns and villages close to the border, including attacks with small aircraft. Purity Vanguard militants, emboldened by their unchecked brutality, attacked civilian populations indiscriminately, leading to scenes of chaos and carnage that have become all too familiar. Entire families have been displaced, their homes and livelihoods destroyed in an instant. Our border towns and refugee processing centers have been inundated by individuals seeking safety. It soon became apparent that the violence was approaching the coastal regions. The Krauanagazan Federal Army was deployed to reinforce our border security and provide immediate assistance to those crossing into our territory. However, as our forces arrived, they were fired upon leading to skirmishes with Purity Vanguard militants who had crossed the border in pursuit of fleeing refugees. These militants have shown a complete disregard for human life, targeting not only civilians but also our brave soldiers who are selflessly trying to protect them.

By 1530, the situation had escalated further with apparent coordinated attacks on our military positions along the border and several refugee camps within Krauanagaz. Our soldiers have been engaged in intense firefights since this afternoon, and we have unfortunately sustained casualties. Despite these challenges and losses, our forces remain resolute in their mission to safeguard our people and provide humanitarian aid to those in need. The Federal Air Force continues to enforce the ‘No-Fly Zone’ over the affected areas to prevent further aerial assaults and to secure our airspace. To that effect, the Air Force ordered multiple militant aircraft to vacate the No-Fly Zone throughout the day and was ignored each time. Unfortunately, the Air Force was compelled to take action to secure the restricted airspace, which led to the downing of at least 4 aircraft being used to fire on civilians and Federal forces from the air.

Our medical facilities are working at full capacity to treat the injured, and we have set up additional emergency shelters to accommodate the growing number of refugees. Humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders (NLL), are providing essential services and support. The Krauanagazan government is coordinating with international partners and aid agencies to ensure that we have the resources needed to manage this crisis.

While the situation is dire, I want to emphasize that our military’s presence in Mitallduk is limited and strictly for defensive purposes. Our primary objective is to protect our border and provide humanitarian assistance to those in need. We are not seeking to escalate the conflict but rather to stabilize the situation and prevent further loss of life.

To that end, we are working closely with Mitallduk’s government to coordinate our efforts and ensure that our actions are aligned with their needs and priorities. We have also reached out to our allies and international organizations to seek their support in addressing this crisis.

I urge all Krauanagazans to remain calm and united during this challenging time. Our strength lies in our solidarity and our commitment to justice and compassion. We must stand together to support those in need while safeguarding our nation’s security and stability.

I have instructed our Defense Department to keep the public informed with regular updates as the situation develops. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take all necessary measures to protect our people and provide assistance to those affected by this crisis.

Thank you, and may Krauanagaz remain a land of peace and hope.

Refugee Crossings into Krauanagaz from Mitallduk

Since the onset of the crisis in Mitallduk in late May, an estimated 150,000 refugees have crossed into Krauanagaz, including previously displaced persons from Southern Krauanagaz. The influx has been particularly pronounced in recent weeks during the battle for Ta’ana, which has since fallen to insurgent forces. Refugee camps and processing centers in Krauanagaz are operating at maximum capacity, straining resources and logistical capabilities.

Legal and Illegal Refugee Crossings from Krauanagaz into Zuhlgan

According to the Federal Police Agency’s most recent findings, approximately 25,000 Krauanagazans have unlawfully crossed into Zuhlgan, fleeing the escalating violence and instability in border regions. Zuhlgani authorities reported a significant increase in attempted border crossings last week, with daily averages surpassing 800 individuals being detained or seeking asylum.

It is to be noted that Zuhlgan denies over 87% of asylum requests at the border or upon apprehension per our monitors along the border, often leading to situations where desperate persons may attempt to unlawfully enter Zuhlgan.

Overview

Since the beginning of the regional crisis in January 2024, a total of approximately 650,000 individuals have been displaced within and outside Mitallduk and Krauanagaz. This figure includes both internal displacement within the nations and external displacement into neighboring countries.

It is projected that by the end of July 2024, an additional 50,000 refugees may attempt to enter Krauanagaz or pass through Zuhlgan en route to Crabry.

Krauanagaz continues to work closely with international partners, including humanitarian agencies and neighboring governments, to manage the humanitarian response effectively. Emergency relief efforts are focusing on providing shelter, food, medical care, and psychosocial support to those affected by the crisis.

The Krauanagazan State Department emphasizes the urgent need for sustained international support and solidarity to address the unfolding crises and their regional implications. As the situation evolves, Krauanagaz remains committed to upholding its humanitarian obligations and providing sanctuary to those fleeing violence and persecution.

Citizens of Krauanagaz,

Today marks a solemn and historic moment in our nation’s history. After weeks of deliberation, the Ludoraiya has voted to declare war on the Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan. This decision, one not made lightly, was driven by Zuhlgan’s continued aggression in the Gulf of Good Omen and its unlawful incursions on our sovereignty. Our patience, diplomacy, and calls for peace were met with defiance and escalation.

The attack on our vessels, the violation of our airspace, and the suppression of our comrades in Okhoa leave us no choice but to act. Krauanagaz stands as a beacon of liberty, justice, and sovereignty. We will not allow our principles to be threatened or our borders violated without response.

To those who serve in our armed forces: I speak directly to you now. Your bravery and dedication will be tested, but know that your nation stands united behind you. To every citizen of Krauanagaz, now is the time for strength, unity, and resolve. We will defend our nation, we will defend our people, and we will fight for the peace and freedom that we have worked so hard to secure.

As we enter this period of uncertainty, I ask each of you to remain steadfast. Our government will ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect our homeland and bring an end to this conflict as swiftly and decisively as possible. I call on the international community to stand with us as we fight for peace and stability in the Cordilian region.

Krauanagaz did not seek this war, but we will do what is necessary to win it.

The time has come for us to act in defense of our nation. For months, our forces have been vigilant, prepared to defend our land and our people. Today, with the Ludoraiya approval of the war resolution, the Federation Armed Forces have been given the mandate to engage.

I assure you that our military is well-prepared. We have been closely monitoring the situation in the Gulf of Good Omen and the growing threat posed by Zuhlgani forces. Our strategy will be precise, our actions coordinated, and our objectives clear: to safeguard Krauanagaz, protect our allies, and ensure the safety of Okhoa and the entire region.

Military operations have already commenced. Air and naval forces have secured our territories, while ground operations are being carefully considered to minimize the impact on civilian populations in potential conflict zones. We are in communication with our allies to ensure that we have full logistical and tactical support.

I know that many of you are likely concerned about the road ahead. War is never an easy or desirable path, but I have full confidence in the capabilities of our armed forces. We have been tested before, and we will prevail again.

Today is a difficult day. This war is one that none of us desired, but it has become clear that Zuhlgan’s actions have left us no other choice. Our government has worked tirelessly to avoid conflict, pursuing every diplomatic avenue available to us. Zuhlgan’s leaders have rebuffed our efforts and chosen the path of escalation at every turn.

In declaring war, Krauanagaz is not only defending its borders and people but standing up for the principles of international law and human rights. We will continue to advocate for diplomacy even in the face of conflict. Our door to negotiation remains open, but Zuhlgan must understand that aggression will not go unanswered.

Our international partners have been informed of our decision, and we are already receiving assurances of support. While we enter this war with heavy hearts, we do so knowing that we are not alone. The Cordilian Crisis is not just a regional issue— it is a challenge to the stability of the entire region, and we call upon the international community to take action to prevent this conflict from spiraling further.

To the people of Okhoa: Krauanagaz stands with you. Your fight for autonomy and freedom is our fight as well. To the people of Krauanagaz, I urge you to remain united. The coming days will be challenging, but through solidarity, resolve, and a steadfast commitment to our values, we will emerge stronger.

May we pursue peace, even in war, and may our actions be guided by the hope of a better tomorrow.

Thank you.
