Dorvik announces intent to conduct 'Anti-Meddling Patrols' exercise in Migrant's Pass, invites AU member states to participate Ruth Oppolzer |
Haldor, Greater Kordusia |4 November 5410 (backdated)
The tête-à-tête between Yishelem and Haldor took yet another step up today as the Dorvish
Staatskanzler announced to the Artanian Union Council Dorvik's intent to engage in "Anti-Meddling Patrols 5011" in the Migrant's Pass, in apparent open defiance of
Beiteynu's threat against such actions by Dorvik.
It is unclear how the nations of Artania will respond to Dorvik's invitation for them to participate in AMP 5011. Dorvish naval forces have historically prevented the participation of non-Dorvish states in such patrols in the Migrant's Pass, which those friendly the the Beiteynuese cause cite as at least partially the reasoning behind Beiteynu's actions in trying to prevent further Dorvish exercises in the Pass. The argument made by Beiteynu is that so long as Dorvik remains the only nation with the "right" to conduct such patrols, Artania can never be free of Dorvish hegemony. This argument has been picked up by nations such as Luthori, which quickly
openly defied the Beiteynuese ban and put out statements criticizing both Haldor and Yishelem for meddling and trying to prevent equality for all nations in Artania.
Critics of Beiteynu are quick to point out that though Dorvish policy toward the Pass has historically been hegemonic, under the Dreyer administration the "Dorvik alone" policy in the Pass has quickly gone unenforced and, now, with the announcement to the AU, looks to be entirely reversed. Dorvish spokespeople have been quick to condemn the actions of Beiteynu, and have also criticized Fort William for engaging in "theatrics" to attempt to gather power for themselves in an Artania where Dorvik is open to sharing more of the load.
It remains to be seen whether the Beiteynuese ban will be enforced upon Dorvik, though it was notably
not enforced upon Luthori. Experts suspect that Haldor was in fact reassured by Beiteynu's assurances that a "risk of a hot incident in the Migrant's Pass is very low". It is unclear if other Artanian nations such as Rutania, Narikaton and Darnussia, or Kundrati will engage with the Dorvish in AMP 5011, though each has expressed interest in renewed AU cooperation.
