Interesting Development

Just now, a messenger from the people of the yams arrived in the village. He says the eggplant clan has turned on the people of the yams and that the only way any of us are to survive is if we form an alliance. He then proceeded to cry and beg for our help. This is the clan of the mango's official message in response to the Yamians' plea for help:

PEOPLE OF THE YAM:

THE CLAN OF THE MANGO SHALL, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WITHOLD ANY FORM OF AID, PROTECTION, OR SUPPORT TOWARDS THE CLAN OF THE YAM. UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN THERE EXISTS A DIRECT AND SIGNIFICANT THREAT FROM THE EGGPLANTIANS, NO PACT OR ALLIANCE WILL BE FORMED BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES. THE MANGONIAN DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST THE NATION OF THE YAMS IS STILL IN EFFECT. PEACE WILL BE REACHED IF AND ONLY IF THE ORIGNAL TERMS OF WAR ARE REACHED. THESE TERMS ARE PROVIDED BELOW.

SINCERELY,

MICHAEL M. MANGOVE
BOARD OF MANGONIAN FOREIGN RELATIONS


Here is the original declaration of war, which I so carelessly left out in previous posts:
