	To refer to the recent events in Salardia following the assassination of President Poullain as anything short of deplorable would be a horrific disservice to all Salardians, and an error outmatched in severity only by the villainous actions undertaken there themselves. Henri de Savoi is a traitor to his own people, and it is the expression of fact to state that his seizure of the Salardian cabinet is illegal. Equally illegal is the imprisonment of President Nelson Kouladier, the lawful head of state of the Republic of Salardia, and his contemporaries in the Salardian ministries. With the facts presented as they are, it is the logical standpoint of the Kingdom of Aontas that the actions undertaken by Henri de Savoi's government are of zero legal standing, and, in general, of absolutely no legitimate force or effect. That any foreign state would recognize Henri de Savoi's government as legitimate is ludicrous, and reflects poorly on that nation's regard for both due process and the rights of Salardian citizens. The force currently controlling Salardia, to be entirely blunt, is absolutely nothing more than a group of men with guns. They have no legal authority to govern, and most importantly have betrayed their own nation and their own vows of duty to serve the Salardian republic. Savoi's is a traitor's army, and one that will face a traitor's due consequence.

	The Republic of Salardia, whose incumbent president is Nelson Kouladier, undergoes political crisis. It is occupied by an illegal entity posing serious humanitarian risk to the citizens of the republic, as well as the more existential risk of destabilizing other states. For any nation to fail to intervene to resolve this crisis would be a disservice to mankind. For this reason and others, the Foreign Office of the Kingdom of Aontas is pleased to announce an intervention in the Salardian nation, for the purpose of providing the necessary aid to the Republic of Salardia to restore that nation's legitimate government to power. This intervention shall be an entirely lawful one; the Republic of Salardia and Kingdom of Aontas mutually benefit from a recently signed defensive alliance, and it is utterly clear that the Republic of Salardia faces aggression. Should any legally constituted governments object to heretofore mentioned intervention, they are welcome to voice their concerns to President Kouladier of the Republic of Salardia.

Divinity praise and mankind uphold the Kingdom of Aontas.
