Martial law declared on Malden
Président Moulin has officially declared martial law on Malden. The announcement was made in a televised address and coincided with the MP and the Armée proper conducting surprise raids in Saint Louis, La Trinité and Larche.
The news, while yet another set back for the citizens of Malden, ultimately doesn’t come as a surprise, as the situation on the island has gradually worsened over the last month. AAN World News is committed to continue covering the conflict.
