As of the 17th of December, the Federal Republic of Hrstrovokia is under the control of National Security Council.
Last night, soldiers of the Federal Army stormed the Dassau Building, where the National Council resides. Chancellor Tesygran, along with the rest of the National Council were taken to a undisclosed location outside the city. General Otakar made an announcement later, declaring himself head of state. The Bundesversammlung was dissolved, as were political parties and trade unions. The constitution was suspended and martial law imposed across the state.
The Federal Army has total control of Marinth, where they were unopposed by civilian authorities such as the Police. It appears, for now at least, that this was a bloodless coup.
The National Security Council has ordered the immediate return of military units in the United African Republic of Lusaka and the Confederacy of Boroglia, in what appears to be an attempt to strengthen its position against a counter-revolution.
The Federal Army is patrolling the capital of Marinth, as well as the major cities of Schatorioff, Saschen, Larakas and Beyol to ward off any disturbances. It appears that the entire military is willingly co-operating with the coup d’etat.
Earlier today, the National Security Council closed down the TV networks, seized the communications exchange, prevented the circulation of papers and forbid Journalists and reporters alike, either domestic or foreign, to travel or to make any contact with the outside. The Airports have been closed off to foreign craft.
In the last communiqué from Hrstrovokia, Reuter’s reporter Kevin Muscat relayed information that the border crossings had been shut down by the army.
It is expected that General Otakar will make an announcement later today.
