Malivian-Gaduri War

[UniSocAll]

Gaduridos outraged at Hobrazian invasion, calls out Dorvish government!

As Gaduri reinforcements are on their way to Malivia, Gaduri and Hobrazian officials are outraged that Malivia would invade Hobrazia. "They have taken this too far!" was the opinion of one member of Parliament in Gaduridos. Hobrazian legislatures have passed an act of deployment of a heavy number of troops to repel the Malivians back outside of the border. As well, the Hobrazians will be fortifying their borders with all of their neighbours, the three cancers that are Malivia, Darnussia and Luthori. Gaduri generals have confirmed their intent on setting camp back on the border regions and to continue to aid the suffering Malivian people from the Raja's tyranny.

Meanwhile, Gaduri Admirals have withheld the invasion and landing of the Washite Isle, when the Malivian Navy set out to protect the islands. Limited naval battles occured, but no victory for our heroes. As such, the Military Command Structure in Malivia have decided to move from an offensive mindset to a defensive mindset - with limited to no successes in the last weeks, Gaduridos has decided to act smarter and plan more instead of an all-out assault. Gaduri aircrafts had some success in bombing Malivian troops and camps inside of Hobrazia, but the land troops fought to a stalemate, and unable to recuperate the lost land. However, with the Hobrazian Army and Air Force on their way, there is no doubt that at least some, if not all of the occupied Hobrazia will be freed.

Consul Mason, among others, have heavily criticised Dorvik and the Dorvish government, and the start-up Artanian Union. Supreme Commander of the Military in Malivia, Grand Admiral WanCho KyuSang criticised the Dorvish government, claiming that "while Gaduridos was acting on the greater good, and rescuing our fellow brothers and sisters, Dorvik quickly denounced us and joined the Cancers of Terra. However, now that Malivia has invaded Hobrazia, another Artanian nation, no word from the parrot-house in Dorvik. No word, but they were quick to act and arrange for a naval fleet to come for Malivia, an IML nation, but for Hobrazia, an ATR nation, nothing. nada!."

Gaduri Minister-President parades in the Liberated Protectorate of Kebebasan.


Flag of the Liberated Protectorate of Kebebasan

Usnakatibandhiya, June 3291
Following our heroes triumph in the continent of Vascania, Minister-President Jaco Alonso visited the new liberated protectorate in a state visit to establish regional governance for the protectorate. The New Liberated Protectorate of Kebebasan was established, consisting of the six provinces of Tanaharnab, Terik, Hutan, Melihat, Syurga and Kebiruan. The capital city and largest city will remain Usnakatibandhiya in Terik province. Minister-President Alonso said that the names will remain the same, and that the will of the people will be respected in Kebebasan. The system of governance within the new Free Gaduridos will change, thus the Minister-President.

"A federation will probably be the best method - having eleven provinces and and four-plus different ethnic groups can pose some troubles. There have been nationalistic tendencies in Bentara and Vintalli, for example, calling for a federal system, and we have not found it necessary. But now, nationalistic tendencies may spark, and we should avoid that. We wanted a united Gaduridos, and the best way may now be a federal system." where the words of Minister-President Jaco Alonso. Gaduridos has Bentaran, Vintallian and Gaoduri citizenry, with the the Marligantos mixtures being called the Marligan-Gaduri. The government has tried to promote the Gaduri concept, but after one hundred years there are still nationalism. It took wars against cancers to unite them, but that is only temporary.

Meanwhile in Malivia, Hobrazian troops are said to have recaptured back some of their rightful land. The cancers have been pushed back, and generals expect them to be back inside their own land by the end of the week. Gaduri air forces have been succesful, but was stopped before they could enter Malivia and dealt some damages. Meanwhile, Gaduri naval forces have decided to provide support the best way they can - by escorting supplies from Alliance countries. Private and public donations have been made, with many of them coming from Barmenia and Vanuku. Many of the supplies will be going to Hobrazia and Keymon, to help out our forces. With patience, there will be victory, said the Consul, and in our hearts, we know that we will win for we are righteous, and the cancers will be eradicated, and the nations liberated.

Hobrazian Forces reclaim there land!

After the outrageous invasion of Hobrazian land by the Malivian Cancers, Hobrazia mobilised it's troops to the border in order to capture back their territories. A mass mobilisation of troops lead to the rapid capturing of the land, but Hobrazian troops did not invade Malivia, as it is not their war to fight. Instead, following reports about potential IML aggression, Hobrazia has stationed troops around it's entire border, from Malivia to Darnussia and Luthori. Meanwhile, Gaduridos will be setting up back camps and efforts to get the border-locals in Malivia on their side. The Gaduridos Naval Forces have retreated outside of Malivian waters, due to the setbacks received. Admiral Jeong PangYuk stated that this will safeguard the safety of our heroes for the time being, until Gaduridos can successfully strike and land in Malivia. Gaduridos Aerial Forces will continue patrolling the sky, but with major Malivian successes, including the capturing of three jets, the Aerial Forces will be extremely cautious now.

Meanwhile in Kebebasan, Gaduri troops have moved to the border with Luthori colonies, a preventive measure after intelligence & surveillance reports found out that Luthori and the IML might be setting up for an attack. Kebebasan is reaccostuming to normal life unde Gaduri rule, after the Raja completely left them unprotected. The Raja has also moved to the #1 International Criminal spot on the Gaduri - Alliance Global Justice Court list after the capture of Sokoloff, Partanen, and the Sanfords in Keymon and Likatonia/Valruzia. Chancellor Bunyarinda is second, with Ministers Munindyur and Aurasana third and fourth.

First Offensive in Months a Success for Gaduridos

In what was the first major offensive in many months, the Free Gaduridos National Military has succesfully captured several villages and towns in the border regions, moving forward and, for the first time since the conflict started, into Malivia. While the victory is a small one, it is a victory nonetheless. The population there has limited resources, neglected by the theocratic government and his religious fanatics. Gaduridos, with ally-Hobrazia, will provide whatever aid they can. The Gaduri Naval Forces, however, suffered setback after setback, and has officially retreated into Hobrazian territorial waters. Malivia has proven a lot harder to penetrate, however the Consul promised assistance and reinforcements from those still stationed in Keymon.

Malivian Army crippled by the countries economic problems

While there have been no official news from Malivia since the Raja decided to forbid any news leaving the country, reports from fugitives show that the nation is in a dire situation. While all remaining resources seem to be pumped into the military budget, it is just enough to maintain the front at the Hobrazian border - the fleet is now said to be more or less non-existant, with different parts of it either remaining loyal to the Raja, some of them breaking off and surrendering to Gaduri forces, some of them trying to move into the Dorvish fleet, and the largest part apparently doing something that can only be called pirateering. According to fugitives from the outer regions and islands around the Malivian mainland, control there has completely broken down - at least, centralised control - either the army has taken over, which seems, for most, to be the best outcome these regions could have wished for, or independent clans, warlords, or, mostly, strong religious organisations have assumed control of these regions.
The religious organisations seem to be running most of the country now, usually where they have been given control by the Raja himself in the last public act the Malivian parliament got to see. All of the fugitives describe devastating situations - while on the countryside there is at least enough to eat, there is usually some form of tyrannical control over the many farmes and ranchers, exacted by any of the above mentioned groups, or, around the greater cities, by the police, which seems to have abandoned their loyalty to the government in most places. Since all the money and resources that were left - Malivia had an extensive welfare state and an even more ridiculous budgetary situation based on heavy overspending, that was just made possible by the Gaduri loan for the last years - have been given to uphold the front at Hobrazia, the army has apparently deserted as well inside the country, not only ignoring their orders to maintain peace that the Raja apparently had given to them, but also derelicting their posts at weapon and ammunition depots - which were apparently raided either by the groups currently ruling the various regions, or the populace itself, both being extremely alarming, since due to the ridiculous budget there were enough supplies for every malivian to get at least two assault rifles and several thousand pieces of ammunition.

The situation in the cities seem to be even worse - in here people are now dying, if the fugitives are to be trusted - in thousands. Mostly of hunger, but also because of the more or less total lack of medical supplies - which also has manifested in several epidemics. While most of the populatin seemed to be attempting to flee to the countryside, those in control of the cities don't seem to let them - regardless their affiliation, may they be loyalists, warlords or religious fanatics.
The only place that seems to be in order, is His Majesty the Raja's Divine Stronghold, Malivia's capital. What hasn't been given to the military has been accumulated here - the only working hospitals are located here, and the police and the armed forces acting as de-facto police are still being paid. Nevertheless, this can only last so long, as supplies are growing shorter even here, since the land around the city still in control of the Malivian government does not contain near enough farmland to feed the inhabitants. The Raja himself seems to have secluded him from almost all but his close family - which is not much, since apparently his son and only child, Rahman Luqman Hundya (23), has died in an incident of some violence, about which is only very little known - although there is a rumour going around that he might have been killed by his father in a fit of rage. The only ones seeing the Raja now, are those who deliver his orders to the government, and some of the religious leaders whose groups are now in control of parts of the country. But as the government seems to try and exact all the orders they get from their king, the religious leaders seem to be much more lenient when it comes to this, and pretty openly follow their own policies - with a powerless government condemned to watch them do so, as the Raja's support for the religious leaders seems adamant, and the leaders themselves are all in control of armed forces of their own.

Dorvish fleet provides humanitarian aide, switches its mission.

Coast of Malivia, South Ocean - Admiral Nayden Stoyanov in charge of the Dorvish East Sea Fleet has switched the former military mission to protect Malivia and Artanian nations to a humanitarian mission to provide aide both to Malivia and those effected by the war. The Dorvish Red Cross, a humanitarian organization setup to provide relief to those effected by various problems has already been supplying the ships with thousands of pounds worth of food, water and necessities. Dorvish President Branimir Slavkov stated: "Whilst we feel that we cannot provide the military aide at this moment to help Malivia we can help sustain it's people and population with the vast reserves of the Dorvish Red Cross. We ask that the invading forces allow our humanitarian aide through and accept our generous offers to the Malivian people." President Slavkov has said nothing of aide to Hobrazia but Foreign Minister Helmuth Schneider released days ago that the Hobrazian Foreign Commissar asked for a non-aggression pact in light of Davostag and Luthori declaring war on Hobrazia. Director of the Dorvish Red Cross mission in Malivia Valery Lagounov has reported that aide was in fact going to Hobrazians as well.

Gaduridos Says No

Gaduridos and Consul Mason rejected the proposal by Dorvik, outlining that the only way that Dorvish aid will enter either Malivia or Hobrazia in the current conflict zone is via Gaduri authorities and military personnel. Consul Mason has shown concern over what constitutes as aid for Dorvik, and since they are heavily pro-Malivia and anti-Gaduridos, the Consul is concerned over weaponry and equipment being smuggled to the Malivians. As the Consul speaks in Gaduridos, the Gaduri Naval Forces, with reinforcements from those station in Keymon, has set up a barricade around Malivian waters, diverting all ships and boats away from Malivian waters which is now infested with pirates and warlords. Several ships have been caught and raided by the Malivian Military-turned-barbarians. Gaduri Air Forces have been pounding the nautical barbarians, who in turn had helped from the Air Force, whether it be legitimate or rogue pilots flying the aircrafts is unknown. All ships, including those with food and other essentials, have been escorted to Hobrazia where Gaduri and Hobrazian authorities will seek to help the suffering Malivian people.

On the land, Gaduri troops have crawled inwards, and will seek to capture the coastline of Itaki soon, after the Naval Forces have eradicated the pirate threats. Warlords in Itaki, though, have kidnapped or taken children and women hostage in some villages, as Gaduridos continues to march inwards ever-so-slowly. Resources in Malivia are very low and the people themselves are in need of it, and now with the added threat of barbarians in Malivia, Gaduridos has taken it slowly when entering Malivia, for Hobrazian supplies to reach in a timely manner. There have also been many reports of defecting Malivian soldiers, but in one small village, the warlords have managed to capture 6 mutiniers and executed them and their families. Most of those who have defected or surrendered to Gaduridos or Hobrazia are interned in camps, with many of them let go afterwards. On the seas, any defecting ship is immediately stopped, for fears of pirates. Most defectors are also interogated for information on Malivia, the military, the Raja, whereabouts of the Gaduri citizens or any relevant information.

Gaduridos surrounds the Capital!

After weeks of fighting, Gaduri forces broke the Malivian defences near the border with Hobrazia and succesfully took control of a large portion of Eastern Malivia. With their military depleted due to the ongoing financial crisis, Gaduri Naval Forces and Aerial Forces quickly reversed the tide in the eastern waters and successfully landed on the coast, building a port for necessities to flow through.

The Gaduri military marched into Malivia the following weeks, taking city by city, town by town under their control and protection. Our Gaduri heroes witnessed the appalling conditions that the Malivians were living in, thanks to the Malivian Raja. Many towns and villages surrendered without a fight, with most of them not only welcoming support from Gaduridos, but also swearing to fight alongside Gaduri forces against the Raja's forces, in the hopes of getting them on the good side when Malivia is liberated.

Other towns, villages and most cities have not been so kind. Many western towns and villages have taken up arms for themselves, taking Malivian soldiers hostage and intercepting Malivian supplies, and sabotaging Gaduri advances. Some coastal towns have resorted to pirateering, but the Gaduri Naval Forces were no match for them. Most of the central towns and villages, the satellite-towns surrounding the capital and almost all of the larger cities are under control of religious fanatics, with many of them still loyal to the Raja and sending everyone they can to fight for him. One small town about 125km away from the capital was found to be a total ghost town, with over 2500 people found dead after poisoning, a practice carried out by the "Gerajan Cousins of the Raja's Servants and Pets" cult. Other towns and villages where pure anarchy and chaos, as citizenry started fighting against themselves, neighbouring villages and the Malivian army.

Supreme Commander of the Free Gaduridos National Military Operation in Malivia, General Ang Xiaotian, has said that "95% of the country has been liberated" and that "only the capital of His Majesty the Raja's Divine Stronghold is yet to be liberated. As well, all of our brothers and sisters have been freed and have gone home." General Xiaotian also addressed the overflowing prisoners problem. "Over the course of this conflict, many Malivian soldiers have been caught and interned. Too many, in fact. Our bases in Hobrazia is overflown and even the prisons or similar complexes that we have under our control in Malivia that is safe enough to use are also overflowing. We have started to free Malivian citizen or interned them into labour camps. Foreigners or Malivian with family outside of Malivia have either been deported or interned in that countries. All women and children, even soldiers, have been freed. Supplies are coming in and we look to have Malivia-sans-capital 'up and running' as soon as possible, as other countries may also lend a hand."

"Malivia will be free, sooner rather than later, and the Raja will be brought to justice." were the final words of General Xiaotian.

The Final Assault?

Finally, the Gaduri army has managed to break the Malivian defence around His Majesty The Raja's Divine Stronghold, and has now advanced into the capital itself. Currently the fighting in the streets has claimed a higher toll on civilian life than it had in the other cities - although the borders between soldiers and civilists have become vastly unclear, as everybody has been armed by the loyalist forces to fight the invaders. Many refugees are also claiming that a large part of the weapons received by the populace are used for personal gain, pillaging and warring between the sects that already control most of the other cities of the country - and now also against the Gaduri invaders, who have, it is not clear if it is because of orders or cases of panic, since every Malivian has to be seen as a potential threat by Gaduri soldiers, begun to shoot Malivians on sight on various occasions. While most of the outskirts have already fallen to the Gaduri, the central quarters, especially around the Raja's palace, remain heavily fortified, and it is only a matter of time until the Gaduri attack the Raja directly.
