Prefect open to mediation by Zardugal
4 November 5573, Wiel, Kingdom of Wrnuke, Empire of the Jelbic Peoples


Diplomats from Wrnuke and Zardugal meeting in the city of Krlmek not too far from the border to discuss the proposal.

The government has responded positively to a recent proposal by Zardugal to act as a mediator in the recent conflict between Xsampa and the Jelbic Empire. Prefect Krlmékez responded positively to the proposal in the Grand Council and later commented on it during the weekly press conference. "Director Diarmaido may not be ideologically aligned with the Empire but he cares about the relations between our two states, Wrnuke and Zardugal are friends and as such the cabinet understands the difficult position the Director is in, to see two friends fighting is always a difficult sight." The recent diplomatic strike against Beiteynu prompted the cabinet to take swift action against Xsampa and sever ties, ending the mutually profitable trade agreement the two states had. Prefect Grzkai Krlmékez took great offense by the Xsampan action, as the Emperor grew up in Beiteynu and is a practicing Yeudi. Right now Krlmékez is even the acting Prime Minister of Beiteynu with the hospitalisation of Anna Kadiyot.

Nonetheless diplomats of both Zardugal and Wrnuke, with the latter representing the Empire as a whole, have been meeting to discuss the current situation. Prefect Krlmékez has been noted as harbouring sympathies towards Xsampa, when calls were made in the Grand Council to reduce trade with the socialist state the Prefect gave a fiery speech defending the agreement. During this notable speech Krlmékez hammered down hard on important points like raw resources, keeping an open mind to all ideologies, preserving global peace by making allies across the globe, and reinforcing the friendly nature the Xsampans had shown the Jelbosphere. The warning however changed that attitude, though there are sources that report the Prefect was reluctant to sever ties and only did so under pressure of his party and several cabinet ministers. The offer from Diarmaido then seems like a lifeline for the Prefect who would rather see global trade and nations befriending the Jelbosphere than seeing more tensions appear.
