PM Richard Jeffson has announced, after long deliberation, that the Kiji Republic will enter the conflict in Dolare and will support South Shande in their defense against Astar. He famously said in his speech, "If this is my last speech as Prime Minister, I will say this. I will allow wars between countries to go on. I will even aid sides if they are against my allies. However I do not stand for unnecessary violence, and I will not allow an attack on a innocent country to go unpunished. So let the Kingdom of Astar, and anyone who sides with them beware, for if they do not stop this violence the Kiji Republic will devastate all of the involved parties beyond recognition. Freedom and liberty for all!" He aroused a massive crowd and received a lot of support for his speech.
