Chief Secretary Gerrit Visser has confirmed that he has personally called Prime Minister Fila Nemo of Vesvai and Prime Minister Jonathan Mollisal of the Union of Oblaren and Herbora. He reached out with a plea for both nations to stop shooting and for their heads of government to come to West Zilveren Berg to agree on a formal cease-fire and to discuss and resolve all issues. Earlier, the Chief Secretary already called on both countries to end the skirmishes and come to West Zilveren Berg to talk, but a clear response did not arrive from either side, so now the Chief Secretary has reached out to both countries directly. In case the Vesvaite and Union Prime Ministers agree to such talks, it would be first direct dialogue between these countries in newest history.

Sunrisia Announces Readiness To Completely Embargo The Union Of Oblaren And Herbora

Minister of International Relations of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia Cálêr Ustrīnâ, Minister of Finance and Economic Development of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia Válîd Sâlúbĕr and Minister of Industry, Trade and Commerce of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia Addél Dîlectên have announced that the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia would be ready to embargo the Union of Oblaren and Herbora completely, whereas currently the existing sanctions are slightly lighter. The decision was made at the National Defense Council meeting, where it was also decided that the Sunrisian Defense Force (SDF) would begin full mobilization in preparation for war in defense of Vesvai. This time, the Érátân administration has informed the Convet of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia of all decisions and asked for legislative support before taking action. The lawmakers had put past criticisms behind and allowed it. The Érátân administration gave the Union of Oblaren and Herbora 24 hours to cease-fire and agree to talks with the Union of Oblaren and Herbora, otherwise the embargo would be imposed and an increasing military involvement before MDAA finally intervenes.

Union Wants Sunrisia To Join The Cease-Fire Agreement Officially

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Union of Oblaren and Herbora Nicholas Vicina said it was not enough for Sunrisian officials to promise to abide by the cease-fire agreement reached in West Zilveren Berg verbally. The Foreign Minister said that since Sunrisia was a party to the conflict a Sunrisian signature absolutely must be put on the cease-fire agreement document where Sunrisia commits to everything that the Union and Vesvai committed to. The Foreign Minister added that ideally all of MDAA could put their signatures on the document but those nations didn't "make it to the fight" before it was stopped by the cease-fire agreement. Prime Minister of the Union of Oblaren and Herbora Jonathan Mollisal who earlier called out the issue of absence of Sunrisian signature on the cease-fire agreement said he would call West Zilveren Berg's Chief Secretary Gerrit Visser and request that he convince the Sunrisian side into signing the cease-fire agreement.

MDAA Begins First Joint Exercise In Daredland

The armed forces of Creperia, Edereon, Daredland, Vesvai and Sunrisia are conducting a large joint military exercise in Daredland, the first of its' kind. In the past, Daredland conducted joint military exercises and war games only with Sunrisia and on occasion with some other member states of MDAA being involved as well, but not with the entire MDAA bloc involved. Back then, Daredland was not a member state of MDAA, however, the country has since joined MDAA, with the only sovereign parts of Daredland excluded from MDAA being the occupied territories controlled by the self-proclaimed Weniges Reich. Under traditional scenarios, the joint exercise simulates the defense of Daredland from a foreign attack or invasion, however, it also includes counter-insurgency operations against domestic paramilitary formations and terrorist activity. The drill involves the armies, the air forces and the navies of all partaking MDAA member states, with them training to defend a fellow member state and ally on land, aerial and maritime fronts.

Union Of Oblaren And Herbora Says It Wants New Talks With Sunrisia

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Union of Oblaren and Herbora Nicholas Vicina said that the cease-fire agreement that was recently reached will not be enough even if Sunrisia agrees to join it and signs it. The Foreign Minister claimed that there needs to be a return to dialogue on security assurances to restore power balance, reach compromises and concessions, and to exchange promises of mutual non-aggression so that national interests on all sides would be observed. Foreign Minister Nicholas Vicina noted that only these talks and the potential progress towards signing some type of new agreements can be the only guarantee to avoid new conflicts on the Island of Vesvai and in the wider region. He also suggested that it was time for Sunrisia to lift its sanctions against the Union because the imposed sanctions have no purpose and the Union doesn't deserve them for anything.

Vesvai Hints At Requesting A Sunrisian Or MDAA Peakceeping Observer Mission On The Border With The Union Of Oblaren And Herbora In Case Of Future Escalations

Vesvai's Prime Minister Fila Nemo has taken a harsher tone in regards to the Union of Oblaren and Herbora even after having recently met with Prime Minister of the Union of Oblaren and Herbora Jonathan Mollisal face-to-face in West Zilveren Berg and having signed a cease-fire agreement that appears to be holding up. The Prime Minister said that in case a threat arises in the future that there could be new armed engagements then the Reunified State of Vesvai could consider requesting a peacekeeping observer mission of Sunrisian or even multinational MDAA troops from Vesvai's side of the border to permanently monitor the situation and act as a deterrent for any future attacks. Vesvai's government insists that the skirmishes were provoked by the Union side and they were started with a goal of the Union trying to force Corentian bloc countries into new negotiations on the so-called "security assurances." PM Fila Nemo said that is the current strategy of the current government and expressed confidence that the next government that will be formed following the snap general election will be the same if not harsher. However the Prime Minister still did not address or talk about the opposition's proposal to build a wall on the border with the Union of Oblaren and Herbora that would be similar to the heavily militarized border wall that existed between New Vesvai on one side and the Dominion of Vesvai, the Union of Oblaren and Vesvai and the Sovereign State of Vesvai on the other side prior to Vesvaite reunification.

Emissary For Adversary Exchanges (EAE) Of Sunrisia Rétrî Síntâ Says There Will Be No New Talks With The Union Of Oblaren And Herbora

Emissary for Adversary Exchanges (EAE) of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia Rétrî Síntâ has said that the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia currently sees no purpose in new talks with the Union of Oblaren and Herbora as the latter country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had recently suggested. The Emissary said that Sunrisia will be a party to the cease-fire agreement and will not be preparing for war now that peace has been restored, however, as declared before, the Rapid Reaction Units (RRU) will remain in Vesvai, but away from the border with Oblaren and Herbora, until there is a guarantee that the cease-fire is holding. After, Sunrisia will complete the withdrawal of RRU forces from Vesvai. In all other cases, Sunrisian commitment to the defense of Vesvai remains under MDAA. Other than that, Emissary Rétrî Síntâ said there is no other reason to negotiate at this time, as Sunrisia will not consider any concessions related to "demilitarization, neutrality and exclusion of Vesvai from MDAA" or promising not to ever deploy any troops or conduct drills on the territory of Vesvai, which are concessions that the Union was seeking in the past and has partially continued standing by them and trying to push for them. As for the sanctions, the Emissary said that the Union has not taken any steps towards changes that could warrant a relief or lifting of sanctions, such as new democratic elections, for example, which have yet to take place since the days the Union of Oblaren and Vesvai was formed and was later succeeded by the Union of Oblaren and Herbora after Vesvai declared independence.

[Edereon]

Calls to outlaw the Third Way party begin to sound in Edereon

Some parties and individual MPs in the governing coalition and even among some opposition parties have started calling for the outlawing of the Third Way party led by former Prime Minister Ármand Tungstenãn. The proponents of this idea say that Third Way party is a treasonous party and a party that violated the constitution, while also taking Edereon down a dark path which the country might not have escaped from if it weren't for the May Revolution. Those speaking out against the Third Way party say that it formed an authoritarian regime in Edereon for the first time since post-coup nationalist dictatorship was overthrown by MDAA in the early days of the organization's existence and also changed trajectory of Edereon's foreign policy by distancing the country from traditional allies and seeking friendship with the world's dictatorships. Under the Third Way-led government, Edereon also harbored dictators ousted in their own homeland and allegedly even harbored and sponsored terrorists. The Third Way government also used force against protesters during the May Revolution and was ready to start a civil war before giving up power. Therefore, in order to prevent a risk of Third Way having a role or influence in Ederi politics and prevent Third Way from possibly returning to power even through democratic processes in the future, a proposal was made to outlaw the party. Third Way party led by former Prime Minister Ármand Tungstenãn along with fellow party members have not yet responded to this initiative endangering them politically.

West Zilveren Berg Hosts Sunrisian Emissary For Adversary Exchanges (EAE) Rétrî Síntâ, Who Has Arrived To Sign A Cease-Fire Agreement Between The Parties Of The Conflict On The Island Of Vesvai

West Zilveren Berg has welcomed Emissary for Adversary Exchanges (EAE) of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia Rétrî Síntâ. The Sunrisian diplomat has arrived to sign the cease-fire agreement that was originally signed in New Kengara by the Reunified State of Vesvai and the Union of Oblaren and Herbora, following the recent border skirmishes that were ended by the cease-fire agreement. Although the primary moment really was for the two actual main parties of the conflict to be the ones to reach and sign this agreement, it was decided that Sunrisia likewise needed to join the agreement, because the country joined Vesvai in this fight, since Vesvai is a member of MDAA and Sunrisia intervened on its' ally's behalf as the largest military in the bloc. Primarily, the Union of Oblaren and Herbora demanded that Sunrisia join the agreement, in order to make the country obligated to abide by it not only verbally, but also with a signature. Earlier, Chief Secretary Gerrit Visser called Sunrisian President Sálût Érátân to convince his country to join the cease-fire agreement.

Emissary For Adversary Exchanges (EAE) Rétrî Síntâ Signs Vesvaite-Union Cease-Fire Agreement In West Zilveren Berg

Emissary for Adversary Exchanges (EAE) of the Nationalist Republic of Sunrisia Rétrî Síntâ has signed the cease-fire agreement that was originally signed by Vesvai and the Union of Oblaren and Herbora in New Kengara, West Zilveren Berg. The signing now makes Sunrisia a party to the cease-fire agreement that was originally only bilateral between Vesvai and the Union. Sunrisia has signed the agreement at the request of the government of West Zilveren Berg as Sunrisia took part in combat on the border between Vesvai and the Union on the side of Vesvai as an MDAA ally of Sunrisia. Because of having participated in the combat, it was deemed logical that Sunrisia should join the cease-fire agreement, even the Sunrisian government verbally promised to abide by its' terms, although the government of Oblaren and Herbora did not take the Sunrisian government's word for it.

Vesvai's Prime Minister Fila Nemo Visits The Border With The Union Of Oblaren And Herbora

Vesvai's Prime Minister Fila Nemo is visiting the border with the Union of Oblaren and Herbora for the first time since the border skirmishes between the two neighboring nations and since the cease-fire agreement was reached which the Prime Minister herself has signed with the Union's Prime Minister in West Zilveren Berg. PM Fila Nemo is visiting the troops that are currently stationed at the common border and together with their commanders is evaluating the situation and the state of security at this boundary. The situation and the Prime Minister's conclusions will affect Vesvai's border security policy. A conclusion will have to be made whether the border will consistently have to be militarized or whether it could actually become a normal border only watched over by border guards. This could impact the border policy of the current government and the next government that will be formed as a result of the recent snap general election.

Capital Jugac holds second LGBT March

JUGAC, BAGGNAGIA – LGBT in capital Jugac and their supporters are holding a second Pride March in the nation's capital. The second march is taking place not long after the first one and also follows a historic ruling by the Supreme Court. The ruling stated that the Baggnagian constitution doesn't have a clearly defined family institute which is one of the reasons why it doesn't block the nation from advancing its LGBT rights. Encouraged by this LGBT members and their supporters in Jugac are marching with a demand that the Baggnagian government recognizes same-sex unions and moves onto legalizing same-sex marriage. High-profile members of the LGBT community whether in Jugac or Baggnagia overall are saying that more marches and activism will take place until the goals are reached. They have also called on other Baggnagian cities to allow for similar marches to take place.
