The 2020 Tarijar Strait crisis is an intensification of military tensions between the W.E.D.A. member states of Albarine and Emmiria and their allies of C.A.M.D.A. member states and Drambenburg and their allies in the Southern Adula region, specifically Buckingla and Zalluabed. The crisis began on November 25th, 2020, after Drambenburg was granted land grants by Zalluabed and Buckingla to construct military bases in their countries. This was seen as a threat by Albarine, who addressed concerns that the movement of Drambenburgian warships through the heavily traversed Tarijar Strait from the Toyana Ocean into the Albarine Sea threatened international shipping. In response, the Royal Zalluabed Navy sent four naval vessels into the Emmiria Sea as a show of force. At this point, multiple nations began taking sides, with Drambenburg's other regional ally Qolaysia also threatening to send forces. The Coalition of Crown Albatross Security Council met in Tofino, Zamastan, raising concerns of a conflict erupting in the region.

Reactions

International

• Alcarres - President Akkin Gunaydin met with the member states of CAMDA (Durnstaal, Alonnisosa, New Elkland, and Wyomia) to determine their course of action with the ongoing crisis. In a statement, he said "We are gravely concerned about today's developments, and as a major international organization with the crisis unfolding on our doorstep, we will act."
• Egilanak - President Alik Zholdoshev said that he "condemns Drambenburg's, Zalluabed's & Buckingla's actions in the region & stands with Albarine," also stating that "They will only contribute in promoting violence and militarization. They are putting unnecessary violence ahead of the goodwill of the people in the region and we should proudly stand against their actions. We hope that they actually realize what they're doing instead of militarizing for 'stability' which will probably not be the resulting factor."
