ROMULA - Sources close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have confirmed that the Istalian Government has launched a round of contacts with governments all around the world to promote a common initiative towards the Selucian regime. In light of the widespread outrage from numerous countries around the world over the persecution of the Yeudi-Selucians, Istalia is promoting the coordination of the diplomatic activity with its most important partners to offer a common and unified response and strengthen efforts to put pressure on the regime and assist the Yeudi population. But Istalia is not only involving its partners: as it happened with Kalistan, the Government reached even Vanuku to propose Wiel to join the initiative.

As firmly underlined by Minister Secretary of State Cantalamessa herself, summoned the press after the Government confirmed the launch of the initiative:

The fate of one million human lives outweighs petty quarrels and the self-serving interests of any nation. We are resolutely convinced that, beyond tensions and disagreements, there exist shared moral and ethical principles on which there can be no divergence, only unwavering concord.

Istalia, should the regime not yield, does not rule out joining forces to promote all possible assistance to relocate the Yeudi, although Romula emphasizes that the relocation of those people would still represent a failure and set a dangerous precedent, ignoring the right of individuas and community and which could encourage other similar regimes in other contexts and situations of ethnic tension to reach agreements for further forced, but international sanctioned, deportations.

Furthermore, Istalia wished to express its objection to the rumored possibility of military reactions against Scipio's regime. In recent history, explained the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the casualties and geopolitical consequences of other military interventions, which subsequently became occupations and resulted in decades-long partitions and divisions, have been severe and considerable. Given the already unstable situation in northwestern Majatra, the geostrategic and trade importance of the Migran Pass and the absence of a truly well-defined international consensus of nations or major powers capable of adequately coordinating and balancing efforts and outcomes, the consequences could be extremely unpredictable and destabilizing.

At the same time, however, Istalia has reiterated that neither the regime nor Scipio can be considered legitimate interlocutors for any form of agreement, and views regime change, together with an end to the persecution of the Yeudi, as "inevitable" for the future of the country’s international relations. For this reason, in conjunction with the announcement of the joint international initiative, the Istalian Government has also formally pledged its support for the Restorationists, the growing opposition movement to the regime that has already completely dissociated itself from the persecution of the Yeudi community. Istalia is determined to support and promote internal change, generated and supported by the population, which can offer a suitable alternative to Scipio's regime and with which, therefore, a new bridge can be built for a new dialogue based on cordiality and a spirit of peaceful coexistence.

According to experts and analysts, Imperial State Intelligence has already been activated to assist the Selucian opposition, and it is very likely that the Restorationists can already count on solid financial and organizational support. The Government, in light of the growing protests in Selucia and the regime's evident growing precariousness, expresses its confidence that the joint international initiative will be instrumental and fundamental in ending over 20 years of autocracy and political and ethnic persecution.

Finally, the Government once again expresses regret that for too long the international community, including Istalia, has failed to recognize this situation, which cannot be solely attributed to the regime's extremely pervasive and its well refined security and censorship system. A "mea culpa" and a warning to the entire international community? A regret for the times when international organizations existed to monitor and report precisely these realities? Istalia's foreign policy is undergoing a full-scale transformation, and analysts and observers are reflecting on the next moves of this Istalian international momentum.
