March 2951- Horvik, Hebilon- It was announced today after an emergency session of the Badranian Majilis Al-Sha’ab (Senate) that Badaran and Selucia are officially at war.
President George Rothberg immediately held a press conference in a hotel ballroom he was staying at in Horvik. In it he stated that since it is clear and apparent that both sides in this conflict have committed war crime for which they should be punished for, it is the intent of Cildania to stay neutral in this conflict. Furthermore, this neutrality should not be a corrupted one as to mean that no support by any Cildanian or refuge of any military personnel by either fighting nation will be tolerated even once. In the press conference the president was asked what would happen if the militaries of either nation happened to enter Cildanian waters. President Rothberg said that this is the warning to the world, if any military personnel or equipment enter the sovereign area of Cildania he could not promise that nuclear weapons would not be used.
Reaction on the streets by Cildanians to the presidents press conference seems to be positive although, many are concerned about the threat of violence by both sides. In interviews with many people it is clear that most Cildanians see both fighting parties as religious radicals. That is the reason that many feel this conflict is different from others, the fact that it has higher tensions because of its "higher" cause.
