The embassy in Marsari will remain open despite the chaos
Chancellor Matthias Cerfbeer is following suit with multiple international governments as the civil unrest in North Icadania escalates. The ambassador to the nation has been recalled, although the Jyau embassy in Marsari remains open. The embassy's staff of 72 people has been set on high alert and the facility's security of 6 is posed to protect the occupants in case of a severe escalation. The temperament of the Jyau Foreign Ministry is that Chancellor Rousillis is holding onto power through his implementation of the martial law, which has led to widespread protests in the country.
Demonstrations and the clashes that followed yesterday left over 50 people dead in the North Icadanian capital of Marsari. The decision to leave the embassy open in Marsari despite the violence is being met with mixed reactions by Jyau politicians and the public alike.
Jyau's Foreign Ministry has ordered that all physical diplomatic contact with Chancellor Rousillis and North Icadanian government officials should be halted for the time being, while it is imperative to keep channels of discussion open. The crisis, according to a memo from the foreign ministry, is particularly concerning as the tensions in that particular region of Nortua is unstable. The ceasefire in place surrounding the conflict in bordering Syraranto has held firm, albeit with inconsistent clashes. The worry is that the current set of violence in North Icadania will spike into a full blown conflict if it does not subside.
