CLAIRON PICARD
 
FOREIGN MINISTER DISCUSSES ALDURIA FUTURE
 
Foreign Ministry, November 10, 5607:  After a senior staff  meeting on the future of the Union of Canrille, CLAIRON PICARD asked Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Bourmont how the future of Alduria appeared, and Bourmont responded:
 

We should remember the war there is not over yet.  We are assuming we can pretty much exterminate the terrorists.  Nonetheless they are proving tenacious, and the Capital presents a special problem.   Although many residents did escape to liberated territory or Kanjorean lines, there are quite a few Alduriann citizens still in the Capital, not just terrorists.  Heavy handed methods would lead to civilian casualties.
 
But as to your question, Mordusia was attacked by the terrorists and is now invading.  Its ally Luthori has appropriately responded by sending assistance.  We became appalled at accounts of atrocities from refuges that crossed into Kanjor and responded by attacking the terrorists perpetrating these atrocities and by preventing further support from their admired role model reaching them by sea  So to answer your question, the future of Alduria will be determined by Kanjor, Alduria, Mordusia and Luthori.  Four parties, not one or two.
 
For our part, we want to see a sovereign Alduria taking its place as a nation once again.  It is likely Kanjor and the other invaders will need to assure that the terrorists are gone entirely before withdrawing.
 
Should this view prevail, an independent sovereign Alduria might wish to associate with nobody. Or it might wish to join some other international group.  Or it might want to rejoin the Union of Canrille.  That would certainly be our hope, and we believe there are distinct advantages for Alduria should it do so. Nor are the conditions for readmission onerous.
 
But again, four parties not one or two, will be voicing their opinion on the future of Alduria.
