This press message was released by the Government of the Federation of Zardugal.
Recently, the government of Zardugal received news of the armed occupation of the Zardic Embassy in Agundi City in the Union of Socialist Sultanates by members of the Red Vanguard Society.
This attack on the diplomats of Zardugal is an assault on Zardugal itself. It is unacceptable that the extraterritoriality of the Zardic Embassy has been violated. These acts are criminal in the worst degree. We condemn these acts of violence against Zardugal and its diplomatic mission. We condemn the Red Vanguard Society for its extremism, aggression and its endorsement of this attack. We are stunned and horrified that so soon after our restoration of diplomatic relations with the Union of Socialist Sultanates that terrorists have attacked our embassy.
The government of Zardugal will use all the means at its disposal to secure the release of those held in the embassy. We hope that we have the co-operation and goodwill of the government of the Union of Socialist Sultanates in these matters. The Red Vanguard Society is a major threat to world peace and security, as well as a danger to the internal stability of the Union of Socialist Sultanates. We will work with the legitimate, lawful and democratically elected government the Union of Socialist Sultanates to remove this danger.
We are determined that our newly restored friendship with the Union of Socialist Sultanates will not be disrupted by this incident. We cannot allow ourselves to be intimidated by this attack. In the face of terrorism and crime of this severity, we must fight back against the fanatics of the Red Vanguard Society.
Signed,
