Her Majesty's Secretary of State of the Free Union of Engellex and Blois​

Assurances have been extended by His Excellency the High Commissioner of Burgesia in Woolwich to the commitment of the Burgesian Government in bringing swift resolve to the situation regarding the Burges & Dixon Mining Co. incident. Such a commitment withdraws all and any controversy surrounding the incident; and, with its conclusion it is expressed what little need there is to comment and interfere further on the incident.

We disagree with the necessity to accept the Carentanian Steel and Copper WO.’s assistance in the emergency operation required. Entry into the Free Territory of Burgesia will not be permitted.

Burges & Dixon Mining Company

I would like to assure those who have taken an interest in the recent report from the Black Democracy Movement newspaper that there has been no shaft collapse at the pit in question. BDMCo. catagorically denies the accusations levied against the company and condemns the Black Democracy Movement for publishing a story of this nature with nothing but hearsay as evidence to back it up.

This company regards the health and safety of all its employees - regardless of their race - as paramount and while we admit a shaft was recently closed at our Hwange site, the operation was carried out without incident.

For a considerable period of time the BDM has been critical of the practises of this and other large mining concerns in Burgesia, I advise the international community to be wary of accepting outright the accusations of this movement.

While the Government of Burgesia does not wish to comment on the accusations levied by the Black Democracy Movement - a seditious organisation with the primary aim of destroying the Burgesian state - we do wish to formally respond to the statement issued by Her Majesty's Secretary of State.

We would remind the Free Union Government that internal matters are exclusively the concern of the Burgesian administration and we therefore do not appreciate interference of this nature in our affairs. Any offer of international involvement in the Free Territory will be accepted or refused by the Cabinet in Henrietta, not by Her Majesty's Government.

Consequently, the Burgesian Government thanks the Sterling Mining Company and Carentanian Commissariate for Foreign Affairs for their offers of assistence, but until such time as BDMCo. acknowledges that an incident has occurred that requires an immediate international solution, we can see no reason to grant access.

The People's Republic of Vangala is sceptical about the reports from the Burges & Dixon Mining Company and the Burgesian government and suspects this a collaborative effort to supress further information and discredit the Black Democracy Movement.

Commonwealth of Cornavia

The Commonwealth government wishes to echo the sentiments of concern expressed by the members of the international community over the Burges & Dixon incident, and implores the Burgesian government to commit into carrying out an impartial inquiry into the claimed deaths of several innocents.

Whether the company chooses to clear the air surrounding the matter or not, and whether the Burgesian government will choose the same or not will be yet another indicator to the world over the Burgesian answer to a key question of its future: Will the country decide to be a responsible member of the international community, or will it instead continue its established record of institutional racism?

Mr. William Fenner,
Minister of External Affairs
