Prime Minister expresses "worries" about Likatonia as country threatens to collapse.
August 5601

Fort William, Luthori - Prime Minister Hamilon, Lord Northminster, expressed, through a short communication from his office, all of Luthori's "concern" and "worries" about the current situation in Likatonia. Indeed, recently, the National Democratic Party orchestrated a coup d'état against its arch-rival, President Mendelev's government. Apparently this was after the President enacted emergency powers that he vested upon himself, something that the NDP viruently protested against. With the President dead and an interim administration led by the NDP being put in place, the Prime Minister's Office back in Luthori has reacted after previously stating that they were "closely monitoring the situation [in Likatonia]", the Duke of Northminster seems to have decided towards a statement which remains wary, yet in the same time, quite dissapointed.

The Inquirer was the first newspaper to have received the statement, which goes as follows.

"After closely monitoring the situation, Her Majesty's Government is advocating for calm and steady leadership in Likatonia after the recent coup. Her Majesty's Government also condemns all political sides of the Likatonian political establishment for failing to come with a necessary compromise for the well-being of the Likatonian people.

HM Government reiterates previous calls for restraint and for the country's political scene remains headed by cooler heads.

The statement didn't said anything about potential Luthorian direct intervention, as the Prime Minister most likely wanted to draw the Luthorian response towards. A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry didn't ruled out any Luthorian direct intervention in the conflict, more likely as an intermediary and mediator between both sides if things "ever got out of hand" quickly. 

For numerous analysts, Likatonia has been entering a period of decline ever since the opening of its political scene and their seen collusion with the fascist regime in Kasaema, as the National Democrats remains committed to their Kundrati attachment, with the former President and now self-appointed President of Likatonia, having been jailed for having corrupted by the Kundratis in hope to draw the NDP more closely to the Kundrati criminal regime. With her in charge of the country, it seems that Mendelev's efforts to mend relations with the Anantonese Empire are likely to either get bugged down in unnecessary paperwork and bureaucratic hurdles or are going to be reverted down entierly.

As for Luthori-Likatonian relations, nothing is certain, but it seems that the new Likatonian administration's opinion of Kundrati may draw some eyebrows of suspicions in Fort William.

More to follow.
