This press message was released by the Government of the Holy Luthori Empire.
The Holy Luthori Empire has, in recent weeks, been asked to clarify its position in regard to the rival groups claiming governance of Kafuristan, and to recognise one of these groups.
After due consideration, the Holy Luthori Empire finds it can recognise none of these factions as the legitimate government of Kafuristan.
The demise of Kafuristan is the natural and inevitable fate of a nation which abandons rightful monarchy for the rule of the mob, and having seized power through an act of manifest illegality, can claim no legitimacy.
It is the considered opinion of the Holy Luthori Empire that only a monarch can stabilise and unite the Kafuri people. We therefore invite the competing factions in Kafuristan to consider the people they claim to represent, and petition to become a Crown Dominion the Holy Luthori Empire.
