Armed Forces of Kundrati provides damning statement as hundreds of thousands attempt to flee without success

[4 December 5585]

---

Reports over the last two years have emerged that Kundratis and foreigners living in Kundrati have attempted, without success, to head to Dundorf or to other nations intending to escape from the current government of the Kundrati Legion, which has recently begun to construct labor camps among many other measures that have made Kundrati an international pariah.

Over the last two years, according to the University of Kundrati in Papoc, around 788,423 people have attempted to flee either by heading to the border with Dundorf, which is no longer an open border due to measures by both governments, or trying to board one-way flights to Kalistan or Zardugal or other places far away from Kundrati's grasp. However, according to the University and according to sources within the Interior Ministry, the vast majority have been captured and have been taken to labor camps throughout the country, to the point where only a few tens of thousands have managed to make it out of the country with their lives. This is not to mention hundreds of thousands more searching up, among other terms, "how to get Dundorfian citizenship" and "rents in Dunburg."

That was within the last two years. Now that the Kundrati Legion has explicitly mentioned that labor camps existed and that there was a supply of laborers, presumably those who tried to get away, in a post regarding a military alliance with Likatonia, reactions from the world have been almost universally adverse from the freezing of relations to complete embargoes from Dundorf to Kalistan and from Lodamun to Kanjor. As for the internal reaction, there is fear and anger.

The internal reaction has been full of fear and anger because of the open display of violence and cruelty expressed by the Kundrati Legion and their paramilitaries with the full backing of the Kundrati Defense Contractors, now wholly owned by the Kundrati Legion as part of the Government. The hope is that next year's election, the opposition, headed by the National Coalition party, will win. However, they have kept silent as dissent has been discouraged publicly, implying that you would end up in a labor squadron if you spoke out against the Legion. Though such measures have not hit our newspaper, we fear that our day in the sun, like Icarus, will come soon enough.

However, one force has been relatively angered about the ongoing situation—the armed forces. In two statements, the Armed Forces of Kundrati (AFK) have made clear their opposition to the continuing government and that their current course is only leading to the destruction of the Kundrati nation. The following was the statement by the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces of Kundrati, General Olympio Tremorinus Alcazar.

We believe in democracy and the rule of law. We have proudly served the Kundrati Union since founding a Kundrati nation four millennia ago. Yet today, we are ashamed to serve a country led by a government that disrespects everything Kundrati stands for. The current government is nothing more than an Ordosocialist plant that seeks to destroy the Kundrati race and the nation that we have all worked hard to build. And so the Armed Forces of Kundrati make our position clear that the current Government must cease this banditry and this madness immediately and restore our honor and dignity, which has been soundly trifled.

The Armed Forces of Kundrati spokesperson provided another statement, mentioning that the soldiers have an oath-bound duty to reject illegal and ill-intentioned orders and that the Armed Forces reserves the right to save the Kundrati nation from saboteurs, including the right to refuse to fight if the order came from an illegal and ill-intentioned order.
