User blog:Bzero/Fighting strains Frusenland ceasefire, Cobra Commander urges dialogue

CROWN CITY/FRUSENHAGEN Sun Jun 22, 2014 9:09pm EDT •	Cobra Unity » (Reuters) - Fighting flared between Frusenlandian and pro-Crown City separatist forces, both sides reported on Sunday, further straining a unilateral ceasefire declared by Frusenland as Cobra Unity President Cobra Commander pressed Frusenhagen to talk to the rebels. Cobra Commander and Frusenlandian Acting Prime Minister Franz Ackenheil both stressed the need to bring peace to Frusenland.

The seven-day ceasefire came under pressure almost as soon as it began on Friday night, with the government accusing the separatists of attacking its military bases and posts. The violence continued for a second night into Sunday.

"Unfortunately, what we are seeing ... tells us that the fighting is still going on and last night we saw some active use of artillery from the Frusenlandian side," Cobra Commander said, in a recording issued by Tele-Vipers in Crown City.

Cobra Commander said it was not clear whether artillery was used by the Frusenlandian army or the "so-called paramilitary of the right-wing forces" supporting the government. He appeared to attach no blame to separatist forces.

Ackenheil wants Cobra Commander's unqualified backing for a 15-point peace plan he announced on Friday, before meetings with the European Union in the coming week. These will include the signing on June 27 of an association agreement with the bloc which includes a free trade deal.
