Dear Friends.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of so many loyal Gaduri citizens in the cowardly attack on our nation's embassy in the Aldurian Republic. The murderous thugs who perpetrated this attack must be brought to justice. It is with a heavy heart that I announce to the world the reaction of my government.
1) We have recalled all remaining Gaduri diplomats in Alduria. We have also issued a travel ban on any Gaduri going to that nation, and have advised any Gaduri citizen in the Aldurian Republic to return home. Helicopters have been made available, and are already undertaking emergency evacuations of our citizens.
2) We have closed the Aldurian embassy in Gaduridos, and have expelled all Aldurian diplomats. Relations between our two nations are, as of this moment, severed.
3) We have placed a trade ban on the Aldurian Republic, and will neither allow exports to it nor accept imports from it.
4) We have called for the trail and punishment of all those responsible, the banning of the NSP as a political party, and for Edward Gruen, the NSP leader, to be tried for crimes against humanity in a neutral third country.
I would like to extend a warning to all of Terra. Until such time as the Aldurian Republic has isolated the terrorists and thugs of the NSP, none of you are safe. I strongly suggest you all recall your diplomats, whose lives may be at risk. Please join us in putting pressure on the Aldurian government to act against this viper's nest called the NSP, that is nurtured in their very halls of power.
Please also consider joining me in Bentara, our capital city, on the 28th of February. We will be holding a vigil in honour of the innocents who were killed in that horrible attack, both our diplomats and the native-born Aldurian staff who worked at our embassy. The leaders of the world are all welcome to attend, except of course for the leaders of the Aldurian Republic.
William Chen,
Premier of GaduridosSigned,
