Growing Embers

[BrumBrum]

News of the growth of protests spread but then some unexpected news came in. They had expected another brutal crackdown on the protests but news came through that not only had that not happened this time but apparently there was going to be some sort of negotiation between protesters and the government. The foreign minister Felix Underhill went to the prime minister Marianne Stewart Adler. They chatted over a cup of tea over what they should do. They had not been prepared for such a quick change. It was agreed they would not release a statement until they could get more information on the outcome of negotiations. They did not want to risk praising the government only for them to then roll back any liberties at the last minute but neither did they want to disrupt the current process. They would say nothing until something significant changed.

Meanwhile they would still accept refugees from Kolhar. Some of whom may now arrive via the international Taliat to Goudadam train service.
