Hizdrüz ousted: General Merlkai Anzlék-Zahr announces National Democracy Committee
25 July 5473
Generals Merlkai Anzlék-Zahr and Jlekai Pecnék participate in a Jelbic ceremony wherein they pledge to share a sword to foster good cooperation.
On the 20th of July the Kingdom of Wrnuke experienced a media blackout, the only legal national news agency H'ákat was able to send out one last message and then disappeared. Even though they assured the people of Wrnuke that nothing was amiss, many quickly started to suspect something. Soldiers were moving across the nation, in the most severe and rare cases small firefights erupted near government buildings, and so forth. On the 21st it became clear that elements of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Wrnuke had seized control of the nation. The dictatorship established more than a century ago by Küntr Lahm was no more. The commanding officer of Wrnuke's Land Forces, General Merlkai Anzlék-Zahr, and the commander of the reserves, General Jlekai Pecnék, were announced as the masterminds behind this swift operation to bring Wrnuke back to the land of the living.
Forces loyal to the liberators took control of most of the nation's media, the Grand Council, the Supreme Court, countless government offices and three out of five of the state government buildings. The residence of Wrntuhiko Jebr Hizdrüz was surrounded and armed guards loyal to him quickly surrendered. The dictator was arrested and transported to a safe location. The residence of His Gracious Majesty the King was left alone, as the chosen monarch of the nation had already given approval for the coup d'état organised by the commanders of Wrnuke's ground forces. The elderly Jebr Hizdrüz, son of former dictator Mustav Hizdrüz, failed to fill in for the much good his father brought to the nation. Mustav Hizdrüz removed many of the restrictions of the Lahm dictators before him, fostering diplomatic and economic growth while the people of Wrnuke enjoyed their liberties. Upon his sudden death his son took over and reversed most of the decisions, the recent mass arrests about political convictions prompted the saviours of the nation to act decisively against the failed Wrntuhiko.
Since then the position of Wrntuhiko (Leader) has been abolished. The two generals, Anzlék-Zahr and Pecnék, have adopted a senior and junior position. The post of Wrntuhiko will be replaced with the ancient office of Prefect of the Grand Council, which General Anzlék-Zahr will fill until elections are re-established nationwide. General Pecnék will be the second-in-command to Anzlék-Zahr while also acting as the leading minister for science and technology. The members of the pro-dictatorship Wise Council that served on the cabinet that did not flee have been apprehended. Together with the ousted dictator they will face trials in the upcoming years for their crimes against mankind. Before elections can happen the Kingdom must first be stabilised, for this reason the leading officers behind this liberating coup have established the National Democracy Committee, or Knstat Nrzilyk Kmitat. The KNK will observe all facets of the government for the time being.
Krsyiji Sagmot'l (United Media) is the national news agency of Wrnuke, it is decidedly pro-government but can at times be critical of the junta.
