I hope the Cabinet condemns this coup in the strongest possible terms. Even if we decide not to get militarily involved, we must uphold our longstanding policy of opposing coups and illegal power grabs in regions, in contravention of the basic rules of democracy. As the oldest democratic feeder, we have a responsibility to uphold and defend democracy and self-determination. There is no perfect region, but when change is needed, there are civil and orderly ways to make it happen. A coup is no more than a severe disruption of the democratic process, which causes unnecessary drama and slowly destroys communities. Regardless of our relationship with Osiris, being couped is a fate no decent region should have to face.
