Utaristani government and democrats enter negotiations as the stability of the regime worsens
21. 7. 5635 | Cise, Utaristan
In an upset to the balance of power and the fragile peace that lasted for over a year, several brigades of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Utaristan refused commands from the staff to destroy the barricades built by protestors and crush the Democratic forces and have instead declared their allegiance to the United Democratic Front of Utaristan. In reaction to this, several military units that were composed of mainly ethnic minorities have also risen up, declaring their allegiance to the until now unknown Utari Liberation Front and Hulstrian National Army, respectively.
With this the central government of Utaristan under President Arslonov and the Party for National Revolution has lost control over Utaristan outside of Cise and a few rural areas in the east. Seeing its unmaintainable situation, President Arslonov has offered peace talks to the leaders of UDFU, and as no one in the right state of mind wishes for a second civil war, negotiations have begun. However, both ULF and HNA have refused negotiation and instead begun to take over territories ethnically dominated by Utaris and Hulstrians, respectively.
It remains to be seen if the negotiations will be successful, but there are hopes that the regime and the UDFU will reach a compromise. The main point of contention is free elections, as the UDFU demands completely free and fair elections, while Arslonov wants guaranteed 30% seats for the Party for National Revolution. While ULF and HNA reject negotiations, they have signalled willingness to negotiate if some sort of autonomy or privileges is given to the minorities.
According to leaks there is possibility Istalia will hold conference between all factions but this has not been confirmed yet.
