Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound
Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears
Do scald like molten lead.

Imperial Foreign OfficeOfficial Response to the Comments of the Khorsuni Ankhazar
His Majesty is most distressed to learn that the Khorsuni Leader will attempt to use a truly atrocious incident to political ends. The Apilonian Empire is taking action, as it always has, to prevent injustice and savagery such as that which has happened in Liberia. Men, women and children are being dragged from their homes and shot in the streets… women and young girls are being raped in the most brutal manner possible before being murdered as well. As a man, His Majesty cannot stand idly by and allow such atrocities to happen, just as the Apilonian Empire cannot stand idly by and allow it to happen, no civilized nation could.
It is reprehensible that the Ankhazar would try to use this terrible situation for his own ends. He may not like Sierra Leone being a part of the Empire, but it joined of its own accord. The Empire will never seek to bring any part of the world into its Empire unless it wants to, and Liberia is no different. Beyond this the Empire will not defend its record on such matters, its record will defend itself.
And yet the Ankhazar seeks to demean the achievements of the Liberians before this terrible civil war. It took a great deal of effort and strife to bring about the first democratically-elected President of Liberia in decades. It would seem that the Ankhazar is fundamentally mistaken in some of his beliefs:
Perhaps the Ankhazar forgets that the election process was observed by Electoral watchdogs from numerous nations, including the Empire, the Kingdom of Dalmasce and others, and that they were some of the freest and least corrupt elections Africa has ever seen outside of the New African Republic, and that his government has been recognized by numerous nationstates.
Perhaps he also forgets that the rebels only took up arms because President Fox attempted to put a stop to the ingrained corruption of the south of his country and that the rebels are rising up, not because he is not a democratically elected individual, but because he was trying to stop the corrupt elements from lining their pockets at the expense of the common people.
Further it is most disturbing that the Ankhazar would invent atrocities on the behalf of the loyalist forces, perhaps he forgets that the rebel forces were able to push loyalist forces as far north as the St. John River in fairly short order and that there is absolutely no evidence of such claims, because they are fabricated to discredit the loyalist cause.
His Majesty, and the Apilonian Empire as a whole, are committed to bringing peace to Liberia. However the rebels have proven themselves to be nothing but savages and monsters, there can be no negotiating with those that consider murder and rape as viable tools of rebellion, the Fox Government has been attempting to negotiate with the rebels since the New Year to no avail, instead they mass troops along the St. John River to take the loyalist-held area by force, and if their actions in Buchanan are any indicator, to visit the same horrors upon them as well. The Ankhazar would try to confuse the issue, but by doing so they are only defending those that would murder men, women and children, and perform the most heinous sorts of rape. The Apilonian Empire does not intervene in Liberia for its own glory, or to bring Liberia into the Empire, but rather for all the innocent civilians in northern Liberia and for the tens of thousands of women and young girls that would suffer the most horrific torment.The Right Honourable Countess of Thurston

Re: Situation in Liberia
*Translation Services Provided by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs*
Your Majesty and Excellency,
We have by now, like most of the world, seen your public statement concerning the truly horrifying situation developing in southern Liberia, and given the evidence that your own foreign office has forwarded ours, we must say that we are compelled to agree with your determination of the execution of genocide on the civilians in southern Liberia and we agree that something should be done immediately. Despite our differences in the past with both yourself and the October Alliance, we would like to extend an offer of help to your state at this time. We have ground forces in the terms of two divisions in theater and can be fully arrived within the week and we can also provide substantial naval and aerial reinforcement. We also join you in your condemnation of the actions committed by the Liberian rebels in their current rebellion.
Signed,
His Majesty, King Willem-Alexander I
King of the United Realms of Francia, Holland and Germania

That it is to be known that the Kingdom of Dalmasca and its Monarch, Queen Lynette of Godwinson does hereby declare it most troubling that the Khoursuni Republic has declared the lawful and carefully recorded and watched proceedings of the electoral process in the Republic of Liberia to be unlawful to be of the most disturbing nature. That it is to be known that the Kingdom and Her Majesty do stand by the duly elected government of President Joseph Fox in support of that government, chosen by the peoples of Liberia to represent them. That it is to be known that the Kingdom and Her Majesty find this rebellion against the government of President Fox to be most unlawful and that it is recognized as illegitimate.
Furthermore it is to be known that the Kingdom and Her Majesty duly stand by the Empire of Apilonia in that great nation's support of the Presidency and government of Joseph Fox, and whom the Kingdom considers a close friend of the Cause of Freedom and Liberty in the world today, that it is to be known the Kingdom and Her Majesty are most greatly disturbed by the motions of the Khoursuni Government to use the tragedy of the Liberian Civil War to their advantage as a political statement when indeed it is a human tragedy, that the Kingdom and Her Majesty are most disturbed to the undermining of peace and stability that the Ankhazar of Khoursun has made false allegations against the duly elected government of Liberia, and that the Kingdom of Dalmasca does stand in support with its friends and allies in Apilonia and Liberia, in finality.
Most Sincerely,
Zahira Ghadir Darzi - Secretary of State, Her Majesty's Government
Most Sincerely,
Her Royal Majesty the Queen Lynette of Dalmasca.

Official Diplomatic Communiqué
To: His Majesty King Willem-Alexander I
Copy: Prime Minister Daniel Soers
Your Majesty,
We are most gratified to hear that the Kingdom of Holland is as aghast at the situation in Liberia as we are, and that something must be done before it can be allowed to happen again. We are likewise most grateful for any assistance that you can offer in this matter. Your ground troops can muster in Sierra Leone at IAF Bo and the Bo Garrison staging area and report to Lieutenant General Sir Nicolas Leach who is the senior Imperial officer responsible for ground operations. Any naval forces that you can provide should muster with an Imperial force gathering at Gibraltar under the command of Admiral The Earl Harrington who has been designated as the Imperial Naval Commander for the campaign. Once again we are most grateful for your assistance in this matter.Yours Sincerely

Copy: Zahira Ghadir Darzi - Secretary of State, Her Majesty's Government
Your Majesty,
We are most gratified to hear that the Kingdom of Dalmasce is as aghast at the events in Liberia as we are, as well as your pledge of support for our much-needed intervention in Liberia to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again. As well as in regards to the disturbing rhetoric of the Khorsuni Nation. On that latter point I can pledge that the Apilonian Empire will view with suspicion any attempt by the Khorsunis to interfere in this operation as although we have no evidence that they are complicit in atrocities in Liberia, their rhetoric in its regard is most disturbing to us. We look forward to working closely with the Kingdom of Dalmasce in both solving the Liberian question but also in ensuring the long-term prosperity of Africa, for although the majority of the Empire is not of Africa, our commitment to the prosperity of those parts of Africa that have become part of the Empire is not diminished because of that.Yours Sincerely
Walker R
King of Apilonia, Australia and the Imperial Dominions

A Statement From the Central European Federation
We find the situation in Liberia troubling, the Fox Government seemed to be on its way to making Liberia a better nation but forces have seem to troubled by this. We asked that all sides find a common ground and work to solve this matter in a peaceful matter rather them take up weapons and murder defenseless people. We will not intervene unless our citizens are in danger, the only forces will have will be a small force to ensure our embassy's protection, and if comes to it, a peacekeeping force possibly. We hope that the troubles come to pass, by peaceful means.
Signed,
The Federal Council of the Central European Federation
