As the September Conflict rages on and more parties become involved, few have realised the humanitarian crisis currently going on in the region. The Confederate States of Durradon, well known for its mass supplies of food in case of an extended war with Kaltura has recently sold a small part of its stockpile to Altos & Stratis. Some millions of tonnes of grain have been shipped all the way to Placeoderms and is currently being transported via freight trains to the western coast of the well armoured Republic for pick up on the other side by Atosian & Stratisian ships.
The total cost of the supplies has come out at 1.5 Billion Altosian & Stratisian Pecunia, roughly 4.7 billion Durranese Fens. The Confederate government has commented saying that they hope that the situation in September Island and the UCSO comes to a swift end and that little blood is spilt in the fighting.
The government of Sevevill has reacted with outrage to Durradon's backstabbing policies. Under the mask of neutrality, they imported millions of tons of grain into Placeoderms, using the country as a jumping off point to send the food to Altos and Stratis. Sevevill has fought hard to suppress the terrorist government of Oceania and their allies, and will not tolerate other members of the international community supporting these rogue powers.
Sevevill has declared all ships, trains, planes, and other equipment used to transport this Durranese grain to be legitimate targets in the war effort, and today struck the first blow of many against this new threat. Sevevillian SG-57 fighter-bombers, launched from bases in Urilas, struck a Durranese-registered merchant ship moving through the valuable Urilas trade lanes.
The Sevevillian Imperial Navy has said that this is just the beginning, and has announced the deployment of a fresh carrier fleet to the West Coast of Placeoderms. This comes along with a general increase in forces devoted to the Oceania conflict. To shore up the seven battle groups (three carrier, three battleship, one megacarrier) currently operating around UCSO, the Imperial Navy will be deploying five more groups. Three carrier groups and one battleship group will reinforce the blockade of Oceania, while one carrier group will be sent to patrol south and west, ensuring Rudony and Sjovenia remain neutral.
These efforts will no doubt help to ensure a speedy end to the war.

As well as this, the KP has stated that if hostilities continue, they will be forced to come out of neutrality and allow pro-UCSO forces to reinforce the island and allow further reinforcements to be stationed on Albatan.
Sevevill has mocked the Kamooko Pact's weak resolve and hypocrisy. They whine and complain about Sevevill taking security risks on September Island, then threaten to stop doing their part to ensure safety and freedom in Diyaristan. If this sort of behavior is what can be expected from the KP, then Sevevill does not need their help in Diyaristan.
As for threats in terms of Albatan, many Sevevillian politicians have actually been reported to laugh when told this news. Sevevill has invaded Albatan twice before, and the tiny island nation simply rolled over in submission. If the Kamooko Pact and pro-UCSO coalition try to threaten Sevevill with Albatan, the same thing will simply happen again.

The KDC was initially interested in purchasing from Sevevillian arms companies but have stated that if the conflict continues after this request for peace, the KDC will potentially buy from pro-UCSO countries or other suppliers.
Many arms companies in Sevevill have been disappointed but ultimately dismissive of Kamooko's pettiness. The KP is a second rate power, and was never a good market for arms to begin with. Still, Sevevillian firms put out the best weapons in Markion, and any attempted boycott will only push the Kamooko Pact further into obscurity as they deny themselves access to superior military equipment.
