Royal Suva Government May Pull Out From Military Alliance, Declare Neutrality As Malatia Steps Up Pressure Along The Border

Royal Suvanese Army officials meeting the Royal Family in the Defence Ministry last night.

Fearing an all out war and invasion from Malatia, the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Suva declared the neutrality of the kingdom.

Suva will pull out from the existing military alliance with the Kingdom of Lego and other regional states. It is hope the declaration of neutrality will avert possible invasion by Malatia. 

The neutrality announcement was made through the Royal TV Station and caught many government officials by surprise.  The announcement came about as Malatia has been putting pressures on its border with Suva for the past few weeks. Malatia has also began air and sea patrol that intrude on Suva and Equanter's territories.

Malatia has recently step up verbal attacks on regional states, accusing them of provocations. It has also deployed several army divisions to the border with Equanter and Suva. The Suva Royal Family has sought military assistance from the kingdom of Lego, but so far no major Legos military units have been deployed to assist Suva.

Many observers believed Malatia will still invade Suva to protect its northern flank should a decision be made to invade Equanter. Suva, located on the north of Malatia, has ports facilities that could be used by Allied Forces to enter Malatia. Kingdom of Fabu, Equanter and Lego are located to the west of Malatia.

After the neutrality announcement, key Suvanese Army officials were seen arriving at the Defence Ministry to meet with the Royal Family.  Some Suvanese Army officials are unhappy with the neutrality declaration as it will invite Malatia to invade the kingdom. There were rumours that a coup might take place to remove the Royal Family from power.

"I do not  think we will be safer without the protection of the Kingdom of Lego", said a local businessman.

Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Lego said it will respect the decision made by the Suvanese Royal Family.
