Irmo, New-Lexington New-Lexington Press United reports that the black population of Irmo and surrounding areas have begun to riot daily, citing that aid was given only to the white population. Today riot police fired on rioters with plastic bullets and tear gas, dispersing the angry crowd. These latest events threaten to tear open the already existing race-gap into a Civil War.

Irmo, New-Lexington New-Lexington Press United reports that the black population of Irmo and surrounding areas have begun to riot daily, citing that aid was given only to the white population. Today riot police fired on rioters with plastic bullets and tear gas, dispersing the angry crowd. These latest events threaten to tear open the already existing race-gap into a Civil War.

Pythogria believes that if you only provided aid to the white population that they have every reason to riot.

Loyalist Response:
(Danteri Government Security)
You have problems with rioting? We have ways of dealing with rioting. As such, we are sending you some of the stuff we use against rioters in our own nation...

- The Loyalist Danteri Government has shipped 100 kilo-grams of Chlorine gas to New-Lexington as a "gesture" - with the gas came instructions on how to convert standard police tear gas canisters to use the poison gas.

Rebel Response:
(The People's Commitee on Revolution)
Your people have seen the error of their government's ways! They now revolt and rebel, demanding freedom! Your days are numbered! All tyrants fall in time! Liberty or nothing! In fact, as we are already at war, we will actively support any rebel group in New-Lexington!

- Ten elite Rebel Commandos are attempting to infiltrate into New-Lexington as part of the massive influx of vollenteers. They are only lightly armed, but are experts at training others in how to fight, and have orders to spread fear and chaos amoungst the populace in order to worsen the civil disturbances... likely with the intent of causing a civil war to break out in the hope that New-Lexington will withdraw some of its troops from Danteri.

AQUA ANU will NOT Tolerate the proposals of Danteri.

Theres no way that you would know anything about the commandos, and most likely not the gas. In his message to them he didn't actually say,"We're sending chlorine gas!"

[High Commander Corrol]
If New-Lexington needs support from Zukariaa, it has it. Name it and we'll try and get it to you.

He actually did. Unless it was marked secreat, coded whatever, it would be a public message.

OOC-Actually, no he didn't. His message said:

(Danteri Government Security)
You have problems with rioting? We have ways of dealing with rioting. As such, we are sending you some of the stuff we use against rioters in our own nation...

The part about chlorine gas was him telling other RPers what he was doing, not part of his message.

my mistake

New-Lexington Government
Today the nation has moved one step closer to war. However our loyal comrades in arms the Danteri Loyalists have promised us their aid. We have been forced to begin withdrawing many troops from the Danteri region. The threat at home is a real one and we must comabt it. The New-Lexington government also rejects any notion that we discriminate on the basis of color. That is all.
Rioters
Today the Black Liberation Front (BLF) held its first meeting in downtown Irmo, and elected Darius Ao'ngaila supreme commander. The BLF is yet to organize inot a military force, but is excpeted to do so within a few days.

The rebel government thought it had come up with everything when it chose the elite soldiers to send to New-Lexington. They were experts in insurgency fighting, urban warfare, stealth and assassinations... what the rebel leadership had overlooked was that they were dealing with a bunch of "Black Power" rebels... and the commandos were white.
As such, they really had a tough time convincing the angry mob they were trying to forment into attacking the government that it wasn't a good idea to lynch them...
In the end, they managed to escape with their lives, but not their dignity intact.

- The rebel commandos have withdrawn from Irmo, for now, after unsuccessful "negotiations" with the BLF. (ie they tried to make the BLF guys angry etc. against the government, but had some trouble getting taken seriously...) At this time, they are trying to whip up anger in the outer areas of Irmo.

BLF Statement Release
Do we really care if you are black white yellow green or purple? No as long as you help us drive out the racist government you are welcome here.

New-Lexington Government
The first battle has been fought and Lexitonain blood has been shed! Early this morning New-Lexington soldier patrolling the streets of Irmo were violently assaulted by BLF militants brandishing automatic weapons and Danteri-made rocket launchers. (Brought in by rebel commandos) Around 8 troops were killed and 26 wounded in the firefight. 12 Rebels were killed and 15 wounded.
BLF
We have struck the enemy and drawn 1st blood! Now our Danterian allies must flock to our city of Irmo, and support our cause!! The time has come. All minorities rise up to defeat the oppressors!!!!

The rebel commandos, able to deal with the BLF now that minor details have been delt with, have begun a campaign of terrorist-style violence against the New-Lexingtonian government. Car bombings, sniper attacks, IEDs, roadside bombs etc. are the order of the day.

- All in all, three minor officials were targeted for assassination, two car bombs were detonated (without anyone in them, obviously...) (the bombs were set to target police units), along with three IEDs. New-Lexingtonian casualties are unknown at this time.

In an assasination attempt this morning, the (white) mayor of Irmo was killed and several others kiled in carbombings around the city. SP Harris has declared state of emergency.
In other news today, the Lexington Wildcats beat the Irmo Yellowjackets 93-87 for the NAC (National Association of Colleges) championship.

Die rebels, die. I am sending my planes to carpet bomb the rebel hideouts, any country forces that stand in the way of my mission to destroy the rebels will die along with the rebels. Tough medicine for a tough problem :mp5: :sniper:

The rebel commandos have launched a terror-campaing, reminiscent of the atrocities commited against the civilian populace of Danteri by the rebel commandos. Effectively, the rebel commandos are randomly killing civilians in order to try to create a panic. Results are unknown.

Around 10:30 this morning, BLF and LLF terrorists took control of Irmo's largest elementary school, Busbee Elemantary. They have taken around 483 hostages, and all hostages are white. New-Lexington commandos and their Danteri counterparts have been ordered to suspend all futher situations until this crisis is resolved.
BLF
Darius Ao'ngaila
We have dealt yet another crippling blow to the enemy, striking at their hearts and fears by taking their children. We are prepared to do the unthinkable to win this war. Aqua Anu we call out fro your support, for it is now needed as our Danteri freinds have withdrawn. (Mostly)
Latino Liberation Front (LLF)
Alfonso Delgado
All Lationos living in New-LExington unite!!! Together with the BLF we will drive our enemy from this sacred ground and establish our own nation. Together we can do it!

OOC: Actually, the rebel commandos are going around killing the friends and family members of government officials... plus the officials themselves, of course...

Danteri Rebel Commandos have continued their terror campaign, targeting wealthy areas, and trying to create a panic likely to cause retaliatory strikes. Just to add to the messiness, they're going out of their way to make it look like this is the work of the BLF... all in all, they're trying to distract the government, make it nervous, and try to get New-Lexington to withdraw some of its troops from Danteri.
Even though the rebel government has officially withdrawn its support for the BLF and so on, they're still smuggling arms into New-Lexington, and have now sent something like 100 more commandos in... the entire time, they are trying their best to make it look like this operation has nothing to do with them, of course.

- Further atrocities are being commited against the civilian populace in New-Lexington - the rebel commandos already there have orders to make their attacks as messy and destructive as possible. Results of their attacks are unknown.
- Guns, explosives and more rebel commandos are moving into New-Lexington, mostly disguised as relief supplies and emergency aid workers.

Following the suprise occurences in their home country, the Danteri Rebel Commandos are being pulled out - although their government still denies that they were ever there.
Also, all shipments of weapons to the BLF has halted, as those weapons are now needed in Danteri itself.
