This press message was released by the Government of the Federation of Zardugal.
Citizens of Terra and Majatra,
Over the past several weeks there have been a litany of alleged human rights violations be leveled at Zardugal and her ally Solentia. Jakania and Deltaria are using their propaganda machines to make it look like Zardic and Solentian forces are committing mass atrocities. This is categorically untrue.
Solentia has never used chemical weapons on any foe during this conflict and Zardic forces are not committing mass executions and raping women. Zardugal has a proud history of respect for human rights however we see that other nations around Terra are becoming weary of this.
The Federation does not and will never condone such behavior whether during war or not.
The only human rights abusers are Deltaria and Jakania. Jakania has a policy that says it executes all prisoners of war and it has banned political opposition and much of civil society.
The same can be said for Deltaria were opposition leaders are harassed, opponents jailed, and civilians put in danger. In both countries the respective governments have refused to take measures to protect civilians and insist that they stay in fighting areas. This will only lead to more civilian deaths as Zardic and Solentian forces can only do so much to protect civilians when their governments insist on putting them in harms way.
From the desk of His Excellency, the President of Federation George PompendreaiuSigned,
the Government of the Federation of Zardugal
