I am shocked and repulsed by the actions of the Inquistan military, who have taken extraordinarily extreme measures in combating the communist insurrection in Reitzmag, which has already concluded with a peace agreement.
As I have made clear from the very start, I have always wanted a bloodless, diplomatic resolution to the conflict. I have repeatedly called for all member states of the European Union, including my own, to avoid jumping into the conflict and to avoid exacerbating any existing tensions. It is clear that multiple EU member states have interfered in the conflict, on both sides – including my own state of Inquista – and I condemn these actors for doing so. I have also repeatedly called for an end to all hostilities and for the start of a peaceful negotiation process. I am glad to see that peace has now been achieved with the rebel forces, and I stand fully behind that negotiated peace agreement. All violence now needs to end, and all foreign forces need to return home.
Cllr. Shakur, I too would like an explanation, but I have not yet received one from the Archbishop or his government, who have continued to keep me in the dark. I highly doubt you will hear an honest explanation from a representative on the matter. I have urged my colleagues in the College of Bishops to take the Archbishop to task on the matter, and I suspect we will hear more from them soon. I am currently working through some political channels in attempt to get the Inquistan military out of the country. I am also calling for Inquista to provide humanitarian aid to all Reizic regions which have been impacted by this conflict, as well as to sort out an economic package to help rebuild the economy of East Moreland, which has clearly been most affected.
