As Kundrati leaves the Beiteynuese Neset, how do the people react?

[30 September 5581]

---

The National Assembly of Kundrati passed the Treaty Withdrawl Act, which included a diplomatic withdrawal of the Neset. Although surprising to some, such a move was not necessarily one to others, given recent moves by Beiteynu on Kundrati and vice versa. The move has caused Beiteynu to entirely leave Kundrati as they have begun to close their embassy, attempt to wrangle their companies out of the country to diversify them in other nations, and try to get their people out of our country.

The Foreign Office, in turn, has said that they will close their embassy in Yishelem and advise Kundrati citizens in Yishelem to evacuate as soon as possible. Banks like Tomasadyn National have begun to call back all loans from Beiteynu or Beiteynuese businesses, alongside all investments made in Beiteynu to transfer to the Canrille network and projects at home. In contrast, other Kundrati companies have begun to cut ties with their Yeudi partners, citing the global situation. The Government cited actions by Beiteynu recently that made it necessary to do so without delay, for example, the implication that ties would be cut if the Hulanevek Gem was not given to them for "verification" or their recent actions in Istalia.

The market, however, has reacted differently and strongly. The Kasaema Stock Exchange recorded a loss of 600 points at the closing bell yesterday. Today, the KSE lost another 600 points and is expected to close at 750-900 points. Stock exchanges in other Kundrati cities have reacted similarly, and there is a general feeling of chaos as people rush to sell stock and try to take away anything they have in the Yeudish state. Long lines at banks to withdraw funds have also been spotted in almost every city in the nation, especially at banks owned by Yeudis or banks like Etxea Bank and Tomasadyn National.

The Central Bank of Kundrati warned that they would have to raise interest rates to keep up at the moment. However, they have also announced that, in a stunning move, they will begin talks with Lourenne to peg the Kuno (Kundrati's currency) to the Canrillaise Fleur (CFR) and that they will allow the stock exchanges and markets to use the CFR as a second trading currency. Further talks have helped calm things down at the stock market, but there is still a general feeling of chaos.

People have begun to react in a manner that is befitting the old days. As said, they are lining up in banks to get their money out as soon as possible. However, some have taken the opportunity to begin to riot. Kundrati police have said that the rioting has spread throughout the south and center of the nation and that the riots specifically targeted Yeudis. As of now, according to them, 21 people were killed and another 34 injured, with Yeudish businesses, heritage centers, and the like being burnt, looted, and otherwise harmed. Police have begun to station themselves at prominently Yeudi neighborhoods and businesses, warning that further looting and rioting may run afoul of the Human Security Act, which was designed for crimes against minorities and the like.

People in the north have reacted similarly to the usual lines when withdrawing money. However, rioting has not been noticed, with the government commending the people for maintaining order in a time like this. Still, hatred has been seen in Kundrati's social media against Yeudis and their partners, claiming that the Jelbic Empire is ruled by Beiteynu behind the scenes, for example, and calling on Kundrati to help Istalia and Zardugal. However, those have been called unheeded. They have also taken the time to mock the people of Narikaton and Darnussia, calling them two horse-headed humans and saying that their actual vomit is better than their "word vomit" and the like. Local social media have taken down more egregious posts.

The President of Kundrati, Alan Bienennueva, said the following in a media statement released to the press:

We have not been happy with the behavior of the Beiteynuese who have claimed they want to harm us. Given how they have treated us, and how they have historically tried to get Luthori and others to invade us, how they sowed distrust in our state, Beiteynu has already harmed our people and will want to do more for the extinction of the Kundrati races. Unlike them and their puppets, we wish Beiteynu and their Yeudis well. And unlike them, we will not encourage our people to go after them. It is never right to do that; it only seems to justify the Beiteynuese behavior. I ask for calm in this present moment and understanding from our people that while the Yeudish state wishes to destroy us, the Yeudish people do not and that the people should never be a target for your bigotry.

The President's statement was condemned for possibly trying to incite more hate towards the Yeudish state, and social media has either mocked or blasted the President for his comment in the first place. Hours later, the Interior Ministry said that they condemned any use of race or any excuse, in general, to go after Yeudi-Kundratis and that should riots continue, a state of emergency would be declared to suppress the riots firmly.
