The First Hebil National Bank in Mort Iskendra.

A day after the terrorist strike on the First Hebil National Bank that killed two and wounded another two Vanukean servicemen the commander of the expeditionary force, Colonel Jeztri von Bismarck, announced that Vanuku will take further action to ensure stability in Aheblun. At the break of dawn the Vanukean heavy tanks left Mort Iskendra and drove into Aheblun, supported by the nation's finest Marines. They have taken up defensive positions all around Aheblun and are actively searching for terrorist activity. The military has already come into several shootouts with a terrorist group supposedly aimed at installing a communist government in Aheblun. Wiel has sworn that they will keep fighting against the international threat of communism. However, it seems that the defensive positions the Vanukean forces are taking are mostly aimed at the government forces of Cildania. Wiel has also given no answer towards the Cildanian demand of returning Aheblun to Cildania.

The following letter was buried deep in the local advertising section yesterday with regard to the August 17 explosion in downtown Mort Iskendra/Tagṛṛamt Taskendrit, which killed at least 48 people and injured another 155.

"From מוות לטרוריסטים We are "Death to Terrorists" also known as ML. We hereby claim responsibility for the explosion at the First Hebil National Bank in the morning of August 17, 3936. While we are deeply sorry for the loss of individual lives, we must view them as unfortunate collateral damage in the larger struggle to make Cildania safe for honest, hardworking Cildanians, safe from oppressive police, safe from fanatics of all stripes, safe from those who seek to suppress the true voice of the people. The ML represents the true voice of the People. No longer will the real terrorists walk the streets of Cildania, no longer will they menace the people of Aheblun. We hereby call on the Governments of these two states to begin providing jobs to the unemployed and land to the landless. And what is more important, we also call upon the Governments to cease their extra constitutional police and military harassment of the people of this Island who are just trying to make a living engaged in respectable businesses. We are ML. Consider the bank your fair warning. We begin targeting the real terrorists next. And all who wish to join us, have we got a job for you!"

Vanuku declares war on ML
Commandos hunting for ML members.

Image
They are small in numbers yet seem to be everywhere: Vanukean commandos.

November 3937 - The Expeditionary Force has full control of Aheblun, Colonel von Bismarck has implemented martial law and troops are doing their best to maintain law and order in the Hebilean state. However, ML terrorists have already killed almost fifty people and are certainly not stopping. Organized crime is on a steep rise and von Bismarck, with explicit orders from Wiel, stated that "enough is enough". Vanukean forces are actively searching towns and cities for terrorist cells, the SSA and the last remnants of the Aheblun police are cooperating to locate as many terrorists as possible. The biggest step however is the active deployment of the commandos. The elite troops of the Principality have been deployed all over the highlands and rural areas of Aheblun. They have one goal: capture or kill ML members. Their success is unknown as the government does not release after action reports on classified operations. Colonel von Bismarck was very positive: "these commandos are unrivaled on Terra, no extremist with a badly maintained rifle can ever imagine to stopping our boys, it doesn't matter where they hide or what they do: they will find them and they will get them", is what the Colonel said about the commandos. Meanwhile the bulk of the Vanukean troops are digging in on the border, preparing themselves for Cildanian movements while the First Fleet is carefully patrolling the Cildanian coastline.

ML hits Vanukean patrol in Agadir, kills 3, wounds 6 in two separate Attacks
Agadir, Hebilean State
December 20, 3937

Image
Police Investigators inspect area where a SUV exploded in an Agadir Market in an attack on a Vanukean patrol

A patrol platoon of three dozen Vanukean Marines were ambushed in the streets of Agadir, Aheblun Archduchy yesterday. Total casualties suffered, according to on the ground eye witness reports were 3 dead and 6 wounded, though these numbers are not confirmed by official sources. The attacks began around 12:15 yesterday afternoon, as patrol units were moving through the narrow streets of the town. Civilians shopping in a nearby marketplace slowed the patrol as it attempted to make its way down the street. Small arms gun fire rang out in the streets from the surrounding buildings, and bullets struck at least four civilians and killed one Marine infantryman. As the crowd scattered and ran for the marketplace, the Marines sought cover and attempted to return fire. At that moment, a speeding SUV barreled down the road and careened into a fruit stand, at which point, the driver detonated an explosive which blew up the vehicle, wounding two additional civilians. The resulting shrapnel of the explosion caused mortal injuries to two other Marines, both of whom died later that day at the hospital. The driver of the vehicle was also killed in the explosion, but the destruction caused by the explosion was otherwise limited to the immediate area around the market.

The driver was identified as Anazar Rahman-Aziz, aged 25, of Agadir. It is believed he is one of the men who have been aggressively recruited by ML to carry out such attacks. This is the first such attack since the major explosion in Mort Iskendra in August of last year. Analysts believe that ML went underground after the explosion which is now widely seen as a botched bank robbery, and have only appeared briefly, to claim credit for shootings on occasion throughout the Hebilean State. ML additionally has claimed credit for several executions in Cildania, mostly of known criminals. It is also widely believed that ML has spent the last year bribing or intimidating police officers and legislators to look the other way as they have waged a low level propaganda effort against both the invaders and the Cildanian Apostolic groups.

Cildania crosses border

Image

January 3938 - After months of unsuccessful negotiations between the Hosian regime in Qart Qildar and Vanuku, the de facto occupying power in Aheblun, the Cildanian army has decided to cross the decades-old demilitarized border separating the breakaway province from the mainland. Claiming to seek the restoration of the theocratic government of Aheblun, overthrown in a democratic revolution in 3935, Cildania argues it is not in violation of the Qart Yam agreement. Cildanian officials have asserted that the Agreement was signed strictly betweeen Cildania and the Apostolic Army-ruled Independent State of Aheblun, and with the end of the latter the agreement is now null and void. Regardless, Cildanian rhetoric is unlikely to appeal to Vanuku, who has so far made it clear that it sees Aheblun, irrespective of its constitutional arrangement, as within its sphere of influence. And with the direct occupation of Aheblun by Vanuku Cildania is a little too late to the party. Although the invasion force was given strict orders to, if possible, avoid directly engaging Vanukean troops, an escalation of the conflict seems unavoidable, particularly since Cildania, with its technologically obsolete military, was careful to institute mass conscription before even considering taking action against Aheblun.

Caught in between the two invasion forces is the Democratic Arouch movement that was the driving force of the Hebilean Spring. In spite of its wide, and it seems nearly unanimous popularity, the Movement does not possess armed forces, has limited access to resources, and lacks any form of experience running a country, let alone fighting a war. Although democratic-minded Hebileans were quick to form a number of militias, eager to fight a prolonged guerrilla war against any invader, increasing numbers of locals now turn to the crime syndicates, particularly the by now infamous "Death to Terrorists" cartel, for protection.

Analyst presents estimated ML strength in Aheblun and Cildania, identifies Leader
December 3938

This week, an independent analysis of the Cildanian civil war was able to determine several key elements in the Narco-terror front "Death to Terrorists", currently operating in the breakaway Archduchy known as the Hebilean State. The most important element identified by security experts was total forces currently under the control of the Cartel.

The Cartel currently employs more than 30,000 people. The vast majority of them, not less than 23,000 Hebileans and Cildanians, are involved in the organized criminal aspects of the Cartel operations. These include drug processing and sales, racketeering, intimidation, kidnapping for ransom, and assassinations in and around the major cities in the Hebilean State. There is evidence as well that many of these individuals are on the public payroll as well, serving as police officers, as well as evidence that many other individuals in some official capacity, accept money from ML as a form of corruption. It is believed that ML does not use their police assets to target Vanukeans or Hebileans, but instead, to both police the Cartel itself, as well as keep rival groups from appearing. There is also evidence that ML associates are beginning to work in the four archdutchies of Cildania proper, with as many as 3,000 people working for ML over the border.

Of the remaining 7,000, most of these are under arms, remnants of the former pro-democratic movement that for a brief time had toppled the Apostolic government in the Hebilean State. The armed forces consist primarily of militias, and it is rumored that they are being trained in guerrilla warfare, though these rumors are absolutely unsubstantiated at the moment. These irregulars are armed with light, foreign made weapons apparently smuggled into the country at some point in the past, and given their predominantly Kalistani make, may have come in through Cildanian ODEN when that organization was still functioning within Cildania. It is not clear, but it is highly unlikely that Kalistan has any sort of operational control over ML, though it is known that at least one Kalistani reporter is embedded with ML, and has filed several reports from inside the association in Kalistani press outlets. Given the nature of her reporting, this individual, who goes by the pseudonym of Francine X, is not affiliated with the Kalistani Government, but may be working for Kalistani ODEN. Among these individuals is thought to be explosives experts, electricians, and a low grade rudimentary intelligence network which relies mostly on passive associates in the community.

Of remaining interest, we have identified the leader of ML, as one Tariq el-S'Barka. el-S'Barka's first career was that of a petty smuggler, initially unaffiliated with drugs. He was known as an honest fence, or a person who would purchase stolen goods, and then turn them over to the authorities for the reward, pocketting the difference for himself. He also supplied consumer demand for secular items under the Apostolic government in Aheblun. The work he did eventually landed him in trouble with the authorities, and at one point, he wasn't able to offer a high enough bribe to authorities, and was arrested for smuggling. He served a 15 day sentence before making bail and being released. At this point, el-S'Barka became a fugitive, and quickly escallated his criminal behavior to running drugs across the border between Aheblun and Cildania. He also became something of a local folk hero, always giving a portion of his earnings to help refugees in Aheblun. With the connections he made, el-S'Barka was able to establish himself at the forefront of a consolidation effort following Hebilean Spring, and was in a key position to broaden his front to low-scale conflict against the Vanukean occupation when this began after the Bank bombing of August 17.

Below is the only verified photograph of el-S'Barka, taken from police files. This is the mugshot taken at his arrest.

Hebilean National Army
Vanuku stands with Aheblun for independence.

Fresh out of boot camp: the first 1,000 HNA troops.

November 3939 - The monarchist forces in Vanukean politics are calling for a bigger deployment to Aheblun, yet the centre and leftist parties (the KK and the KKP) are blocking these "jingoist movements" of the Crown Party. Now the High Command has taken matters into own hands, with collaboration of KKP minister Petr Mardoh. The political behemoth Mardoh defected from the monarchist KP to the leftist KKP but seems sympathetic to the monarchist cause of retaining Aheblun within the Vanukean sphere. It was on his order that an extra budget was allocated to Colonel von Bismarck in Mort Iskendra. The commander of the Expeditionary Force used his new funding wisely and started the Hebilean National Army project. This project will arm and train loyal and willing Hebileans into a fighting force to be reckoned with. The Marines have sent their finest drillmasters to train the fresh recruits and this month the first 1,000 patriotic Hebileans entered the ranks of the HNA. The unit was placed under command of Major Houssa Kharrile, a former high ranking military officer of the theocratic Aheblun. He now serves as the commander of his kinsmen, closely cooperating with the Vanukeans.

ML hits rural barracks of newly formed Hebilean National Army
Estimated 30 dead in raid;
Vanukean Captain said to have remained resolute against overwhelming odds

December 8, 3939

Image
Ruins of HNA Outpost #17, destroyed by ML partisans on the night of December 4-5, 3939

The ML has launched a raid against the newly formed Hebilean National Army. The raid occurred three days ago, at approximately 2:40 am, and was conducted against the Rural Barracks #17, west of Tanegzart, Hebilean State. Details are sketchy at the time, but according to sources, ML partisans staged the raid as both a propaganda action as well as an effort to obtain arms and ammunition. The raid on the armory suggests that the ML may be running short on weapons and or ammunition, and is turning to more spectacular tactics to obtain this needed war materiel.

Investigators have pieced together the string of events concluding with the ML capture of the Armory and destruction of the Rural Outpost. ML Partisans are believed to have arrived in the vicinity of the outpost with approximately two platoons or about 75 fighters late in the afternoon of December 4th, and took up positions around the base. The HNA unit at the base, at battalion strength, was put on liberty at about 16:30 in the afternoon. Since it was a Friday, the makeshift enlisted club began serving libation, and the guards proceeded to imbibe. The celebration lasted well into the night, and the last guards turned to their racks just before 2 am, leaving a light watch on the fence line.

At a given signal, the ML squads, who covered the western entrance to the outpost launched the attack. Individual fire teams moved forward in a staggered line, with other teams providing covering fire. The small arms fire was accompanied by flash grenades, designed to cause confusion and blind HNA troops. Two guards manning the entry post were the first fatalities in the battle. Once the forward platoon of ML had seized the entry gate and forced it open, the rear platoon rush through. Their target was the armory. The HNA was alerted by the initial action, and rushed from the barracks to take up positions around the outpost. Once inside the post, ML units split up and seized the communications station, losing 3 in the resulting firefight, but wounding the HNA radio operator and preventing a warning from being sent out to other units in the area. ML also destroyed two watch towers by starting them on fire.

Image
HNA troops carried wounded comrades more than 20 miles to the nearest village following the attack

As ML made their way to the Armory, they engaged in sporadic running gunfire but HNA troops generally demonstrated an unwillingness to engage the ML as they made their way through the base. The most determined resistance was met at the Armory itself, where the Vanukean post commander, Captain Hdrin Jusuv, under the command of Vanukean Major Houssa Kharrile organized 2 squads of Hebileans and put them behind makeshift breastworks. As ML made their way toward the armory, the HNA opened fire, killing 18 ML members before being overrun and being forced to surrender. Captain Jusuv was seriously, but not fatally wounded in the fight, and two additional HNA soldiers were killed as the ML overran the positions. With the fall of the armory, the last resistance at the post had been neutralized, and the ML set about taking as many of the weapons and all ammunition off the base. It is estimated that ML captured more than 150 rifles, more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as crypto gear from the communications shack, five 50 caliber Mk2 automatic crew served weapons, three jeeps, and 15 M249s. Additionally, ML rendered 2 fixed anti-aircraft guns inoperable with solder. ML burned the living quarters at the outpost, but left other constructions alone.

All told, the HNA lost 4 dead, and had 27 wounded in the firefights. ML lost an estimated 24 dead, with six wounded though ML removed their own dead from the battlefield, so actual numbers are not available. All surviving HNA members were taken prisoners during the various phases of the firefight, and after the battle was over, the prisoners were sent to the messhall under guard and lectured about the immorality of siding with invaders. The wounded were then treated by the ML corpsman, and the base's medical supplies were left with the prisoners. Most of the prisoners, who turned out of their barracks in various states of undress and intoxication, had lost their uniforms in the fires that ML set, and therefore were encouraged to remain in the messhall until the morning, when the weather would warm up a bit.

ML left the destroyed outpost by 4:30 am with their captured weapons and equipment. The vehicles were later found abandoned along the side of the road, completely destroyed. The attack represents the first major offensive by ML against the Vanukean-backed Hebilean forces in the 2 year-long occupation of Aheblun and the first significant victory for ML forces. It also demonstrates a major weakness for the HNA- the reported low morale of the Hebilean soldiers may prove to be Vanuku's soft point. Captain Jusuv, the hero of the battle, is expected to make a full recovery, and stories of his defense against overwhelming odds have begun spreading around the HNA units throughout Aheblun.

Hebilean Royal Army joins Civil War.

June 4th, 3940- The self styled Royal Army of Hebile, created to restore the House of Thomas (under the former Queen Sarah and her heirs) to the throne, has joined the fight for the breakaway territory. Led by the charismatic Adon Answar of Tabah, they have campaigned relentlessly for decades to win "hearts and minds" in the oppressed and isolated nation state. Having sewn tales of the so called "era of peace" which existed for much of Queen's reign, prior to her divorce and eventual fall, the Adon has gathered a hardened force of rebel fighters, determined to fight for the former House's claim under the style of the House of Gabar.

The Adon, having gathered a force of at least forty thousand men and women, has amassed an army in which he hopes to upend the ongoing war.

OOC: Great to see you want to join in with us, Oakwood! The thing is, we are planning every post in this war through PM's. Could you PM your intentions or goals to us? That is Doc, Polites and me. Then we can tell you what we have planned, because I think we will have a storyline error if we sail blindly into the Cildanian War.
