T82 - First Minister Condemns Nuclear Attack

Dateline: 3209.287, Hookum, Q1

First Minister Ashanti spoke to condemn the atomic atrocity commited by the Republic of New Luxembourg Colony on Gurmat in Q2. He said “It was with considerable distaste that I read the news about the use of nuclear weapons against people in Q2. This is clearly not something that we can either condone nor allow to go unpunished. ”

The use of nuclear weapons where there may be civilian casualties is totally unacceptable. Even against military targets nuclear weapons should be an absolute last resort. Earth calls on all governments to put aside their differences and to act together in removing nuclear capability from the Republic of New Luxembourg and also in providing humanitarian and other assistance to the people of 'We Got Here' on Gurmat.

Earth will assist as much as is possible and will freely help any other assistance missions mounted by other polities. Should it be required we are also ready to lend military assistance to the people of 'We Got Here' at their request. We recognise that there is a considerable distance between our nearest colonies and Gurmat, so others are more likely to be able to render timely assistance and we call on them to do so.
