Following suit with Credonian allies claims of moving into Somalia to reliberate it and free it from the clutches of the terrorists. We entered Somalia once, liberated Mogadishu and Marka, however, had to pull out due to a lack of allied support, but now that we have allied support, we will go back in and finish the job we started. Credonia is determined to give this nation freedom, and free the people from the oppression that they must endure by putting up with evil war lords, drug lords, and terrorists that run rampant through the nation. Because of this, we are initiating a blockade of Somalia's shores. Any non-allied ship approaching the blockade line will be stopped, boarded, and searched for weapons. Any ship that attemps to approach the blockade line will be fired upon. We will issue only two warnings before firing upon an approaching ship. To deal with the influx of arms coming into the nations accross the nations borders, we ask that our allies establish a border blockade, checking everything that comes accross the border.

As promised, we will finish what we started. We WILL liberate these people and give them back control of their nation.

OOC: oh well, stop bitchin and start RPin

GLA operatives are starting to prepare members within Somali and the neighbouring states.

Credonia got a kicking before and will get another

OOC - Credonia, it might be a good idea to explain how you plan to impose your blockade with two other naval task forces already in the area...

To Sir/Madam,
As leader of Bree Tonia's offensive action group I would like to offer support to your actions against Somalia. This is an action taken because of careful judgement of past events. Our military is on OFF-CON 2 at the moment and would be ready to deploy to your area from our nation within the middle east immediatley(sp?). Please take careful consideration of this offer, as it would be a large move for our nation, and hopefully assist greatly in the liberation of Somalia.

Thank you for your offer of support. it is much appreciated and will not go unrewarded. As you may or may not know, Credonia left Somalia solely for the purpose of regrouping with a new set of allies and with refreshed efforts to give liberty to the oppressed people of Somalia. It has been Credonia's pledge and self imposed duty to help these people as much as we can, for everyone deserves to eat, sleep, live, and live a life without fear for their life. We ask for your your help in helping us tackle this monumental challenge that lies before us, for without help from friends and allies, we will surely fail in our goal of liberating these people and establishing a free and just democratic government ruled for and by the Somali people.

As Credonia is a Concordian ally we will mobilize ground forces to be transported to Jeruselem. They will arrive in 9 NS hours.

OOC - Not to be a bother, but enroute from where? There's a massive naval hunt going on at this moment in the south Pacific and Indian Ocean for that missing Guerrillistan missile boat... Also, have you announced that this enormous fleet is moving out (not that it would be hard to miss 8 carriers, 4 amphibious carriers, 8 battleships, 13 crusiers, 21 destroyers, 30 frigates, 18 patrol vessels, 26 attack subs and 9 missile subs all leaving port!)

Our military is comprehensive enough to aid in all platforms of warfare. Just say the word and we will move all needed military assets to the needed areas. What do you need?

OOC: they have already been on the move, from an earlier mobilization (an unrelated event) and enroute from Credonia

OOC: they have already been on the move, from an earlier mobilization (an unrelated event) and enroute from Credonia

Because Credonia is helping us out in something else right now, we over them help.

You can choose of this:

1. We keep our airforce ready to start strategic bombings/drops.
2. We mobilize some forces, put them on ships and help with the blockade.

Option #2 please, i think I can handle the strategic forces from isreal, i doubt there will be very many targets that we will need to get aerialy, but most of the trouble will come from those damn insurgents

Secret IC to Credonia and allies:

You are authorised to the Navy base at Ashdod for your operations against Somalia. However, please pre-warn our navy of your arrival so there is no friendly-fire between our navies as regularly suspect fleets of pirates to be operating from Somalia and neighbours.

God bless

Aboard the RN Republic, Somewhere in the Indian Ocean

"Captain, our aircraft picket is showing a large surface fleet heading westbound..."

"Can they confirm the identity of the vessels?" Capt Ther VII demanded.

"Aye sir, they're Credonian."

"Have them contact the Credonian commander and ask if they've had any sign of that rogue missile boat and why they're heading west if the threat is to the east."

"Aye, aye sir. I'll have them forward the message..."

"Gods above, I hope they're not off on another one of their misadventures with a boat with chemical weapons under the control of the GLA on the loose," the captain grumbled.

Guerrillistan views actions taken by Credonia et al as foolish. The introduction of such fleets and forces will only escalate the situation and turn it into a conflict.

Guerrillistan aid convoys operating from East Kenya to West Somalia will continue, Cutting of the borders is an international crime and we use all our local knowledge and assistance to ensure our deal with the Western Clans in Somalia are upheld.

Plz state how much ships/troops you need.

ooc: sentinels? ggggreat

GLA units continue working with certain clans. The main GLA base at a secret location in Western Somalia commanding officers discuss the latest change in events.

"Strange, it seems the country was starting to get back on its feet with the leaving of coalition forces."

"Yes, if they attack now they will make the situation worse than it ever was, these people are tribal, they don't believe in western ideals. When will those foreigners ever understand that they will never be able to turn this country."

"Who are they going to attack anyway? anyone with an AK? in that case why don't they just nuke the place, every male carries a weapon, those foreign devils will end up dead if they enter this nation again!"

"Yes, still we must prepare for the worst, start distributing the weapons we recieved the other day to the surrounding villages, we must keep our supplies coming in."

"Archchancellor, Sir. The Credonians have begun advancing on Free Somalia."
The Archchancellor was sitting at his mahogany desk, on the 20th Floor of the Congressional Tower. Behind him was a bulletproff window, and beyond that, a 500 foot drop to Vezkron, the capital of Vexia.
It was currently the late evening, and Valdez was just finishing off some important bills that had to be passed through Congress- With his approval, of course- before he retired to his Palace in Hero's Plaza.
"Free Somalia- the country we gave all those arms to?"
"Yes sir. We also lent them a few of our new Desert Striders- we wanted to test them in a proper desert enviroment, and Somalia seemed as good as any place to do it in, sir."
Valdez tapped his fingers patiently on the desk.
"I see. I assume you want me to authorize their extraction?"
"Um... no sir. General Arkady suggested a better course of action would be to allow them to engage the Credonian Ground Forces when they land. He said it would be interesting to see how Credonian Tanks fared against our latest Spidermechs- after all, Credonia has invaded many countries our size or larger in the past, and it may happen again."
"How many 'Striders do we have there?"
"10, sir."
"And you want me to authorize them going head to head with a couple of Credonian Tank divisions?"
"Yes, sir."
Valdez looked down at his desk, seeing the tech report he had finsihed reading a few hours ago.
It basically stated that Project Ariadne was nearing completion.
he grinned. a few striders were easily replaced.
"Tell the General I give it the Green light- but Credonia must not find out we have full control of the Striders, not the Somalis."

It was the in the great clan council chamber and as of now Lord Malek was making his desicion whether to help their close ally credonia or leave the situation alone. He finaly stood up to the podium"Laidies and gentlmen(sp?) i give you my desicion now. We are a very close ally to the grand nation of creonia and we will stay that way. We already have a huge force and we will put it to good use we will be sending the fleet to Somolia to help assit Credonia in its righteous quest for freedom" Cheers erupt as Malek steps down to return to his seat as the next issue was about to be argued.

The following forces will be deployed to help assist Credonia
3rd&5th&1st naval group
11 tidal class battleships
1 admiral vindagrov carrier
9 storm carriers
4 trident frigates
10 missle frigates
17 dracun destroyers
4 imboilizer cruisers

[Also posted on Concordia]

I would ask Credonia to give Eredron an opportunity to finish diplomatic dialogue with Free Somalia. Should the government again side with the GLA, and refuse Eredron's offer, our fleet will take action. Until then, Eredron requests Credonia not initiate hostilities with Somalia.

Official Diplomatic Communique
RE: PLANNED NAVAL DEPLOYMENT

Due to the sensitivity of the situation in Free Somalia, in which Eredron is attempting to negotiate, at this time the Republic urges the international community not to take rash steps at this time. Recognizing the sovereign rights of all nations with regards to international waters, Eredron cautions all that this does not extend into Somali territorial waters. In addition, due to the crisis unfolding to the east, as well as hotpoints around the world, Eredronian naval forces currently operating off the coast of Somalia are at high alert; to avoid a possible accident, we urge all nations against deploying forces into the area, or taking actions that could threaten our diplomatic efforts. The consequences of such an undertaking could be irreparable, and unacceptable.

Let it be known that this "Free Somalia" has but 1 chance in this matter for a positive outcome. If Free Somalia does not make any effort to restore order and give aid to it's starving and dying citizens, Automagfreek will intervene. If Free Somalia needs assistance in getting this accompished, Automagfreek and allies will see to it that food and water are distributed to every citizen.

However, if Automagfreek intervenes and there are uprisings, AMF forces will level everything in sight. We have more than enough battlegroups going in to accomplish this with ease. If intervention happens and there is resistance, all those who participate will be killed, as well as anybody in the direct area.

Free Somalia is in a very delicate situation right now, and if they cannot get ahold of their own people, there will be Hell to pay. AMF forces will be arriving off the coast of Somalia soon. I pray for everyone in the country that they do not move in. If Credonia hits the panic button, 100,000 Sentinels erase Somalia from existance.

Last chance Somalia, you cannot afford to mess up even once.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the world. Credonia is faces with a delima that will change the course of this war. What is decided now, will also change the course of this war and will determine which side Credonia will be for and against.

I have been talking to nations that are pro-Free Somalia such as Eredon and it has been brought to my attention that Free Somalia just wants its freedom and would like to retain its ability to form its own government, govern its own people and establish its own sovreignty. It would only be the right and just thing to do to allow this, however, terrorists run rampant within this country, and it is imperative that these thugs be captured and/or erradicated. For this reason I have come to the following decision. Credonia will not assault the people of Free Somalia if they actively seek out the terrorists and destroy them. In addition, Credonia will help F.S. erradicate these terrorists so long as we are not fired upon by citizens from Free Somalia. In return for allowing us to do this, we will send in lightly armed peace keepers to distribute food, water, medical supplies, medical aid, and whatever is needed to help take care of the Somali people. Oour forces are still enroute but will be within reach of Somalia in 3 NS hours. We await your response"

OOC: what happened to this thread!
overkill deployments and nations reeling off lists of units, Automagfreek sticking his big head into the thread. This is a good rp and i would like to keep it this way. mass deployments and "sentinels" will wreck it .

IC: GLA Spokesman in Somalia, Tanner Hunt

"In light of recent events, and the threat of coalition attacks due to "terrorism", we would like to announce the leaving of GLA in Somalia, this should leave all aggressive forces no excuse to enter this free nation. We believe that after the quitting of Credonia months earlier we believe that we have no more need to stay in Somalia. However if troops arrive again in Somalia, we will have no choice but to fight the invaders. Somalia must be free from foreign intervention, and be allowed for self determination."

All GLA units are moving west to surrender themselves to the Guerrillistani supply base situated in Eastern Kenya. Total drawdown should occur within the week.

Spokesman Tanner Hunt would like to meet with an Ozymandian representative.

We are pleased to hear that the GLA will leave Somalia although we would have to send observers to ensure that the GLA will actually leave. If the Somalian government will accept, we plan to send a team of 20 observers to observe and record the withdrawal of the GLA. Then if everything is deemed acceptable, we plan to donate aid and supplies to the people of Somalia.

you don't understand do you, the Somali people want to be free and get through their own problems, they do not want your handouts

The people of Free Somalia will not permit foreign soldiers in the guise of 'observers' into our nation. All of you developed nations have been overflying our nation for months with your unmanned probes, high-altitude recon planes and spy satellites - there is no need for you to occupy an inch of our ground.

Further, while we need aid, we will request aid from nations of our choosing and without strings attached!

Lets see what Free Somalia has to say, your not Free Somalia so you are in no position to say what they want or demand.

Free Somalia is gratified to see the voluntary withdrawal of GLA Terrorists from our territory.

Credonia, we will not accept any aid from your government, nor shall we allow any of your forces in our territory. The long and bitter occupation of our nation by your soldiers will never be forgotten.

OC: It's a free website guy, I can post where I want. :roll:

BTW, "Sentinels" are freakin' soldiers, not those things from the Matrix.

the PRKS offers Free Somalia aide in medical and economic avenues.

The AMF fleets had come full circle and were now visable to the other fleets participating in the blockade. With the Cemetary Gate leading the way, the fleet pressed on and began breaking formation in preparation for their rendezvous with the convoy. On board the numerous ships were thousand of AMF Sentinels (OOC: Soldiers you morons, not The Matrix :roll: ), rested and waiting for more action.

Attention all ships in the area, AMF fleets are in the area and will meet you soon, be advised.

--Press Release, April 30, 2004, 5CN Citadel--

The Five Civilized Nations DENOUNCES the actions of all of the nations currently blockading and intruding upon the sovereignty of the nation of Free Somalia. The people of Somalia have suffered enough in long periods of incessant warfare. Therefore, the Five Civilized Nations demands the COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL of all foreign naval units from the territorial waters of Free Somalia, along with the FULL WITHDRAWAL of all military units from Free Somalian territory.

With the withdrawal complete, neutral observers should be allowed into the country, to assist in the rebuilding of the demolished infrastructure and the rebuilding of the lives of the Somalians.

For the world to become a better place, violence WILL NOT be tolerated. Reconstruction, relief, and recovery does not require military forces... It requires money and altruism.

As a sign of our willingness to assist, the Five Civilized Nations pledges a unconditional grant of US$50 billion to help rebuild Somalia, along with a pledge for additional financial assistance. In addition, we will provide free of charge enough building supplies and equipment to help rebuild the shattered Free Somalian economy...

Credonia has the backing of the United States of Independent Hitmen at this time.

[tagggggg]

We do not care what 5CN has to say on this matter. We will not withdraw until the situation is resolved. That is all.

-Minister Hartman-

OOC//Ah.. Mr Sutton, we meet again.

To Emperor Sutton
From Comrade Chukiov

What is your reasoning for this blockade?

Secret IC

The five Spruance class cruisers left port under a haze of mist and secrecy. They left Hogsweat water's at full speed and proceded to Free Somalia.

SECRET IC:
Comrade Chukiov asks if you need any assistance against Imperialist Credonia? Will you need any help?

(OOC: Hogsweat, they're Spruance Class Destroyers, not cruisers... You might be looking for the Ticonderoga Class Guided Missile Cruiser...)

Stationed off the west coast of Somalia for over a month, the Eredronian carrier group Morning Glory had maintained a heightened status of alert as the number of inbound naval warships increased daily. F-22Es maintained a continual air patrol over the area as ten Virginia submarines formed a loose net around the carrier group.

A communique from the Ministry of State had revealed the intentions of various other governments to form a blockade around Somalia, as well as recklessly interfere with Eredron's negotiations.

Receiving authorization from CENTCOM, a brief military dispatch was sent out to the incoming ships.

"Attention inbound vessels. This is the E.S.S. Morning Glory, maintaining position at 46 degrees longitude and 2 degrees latitudinal. Any ship found to be blockading or impeding the international trade and commerce of Somalia will be viewed as potentially hostile, and a threat to the Republic. Formal protests will be lodged against the government of any ship that unnecessarily interferes with current Eredro-Somali discussions.

Eredron will not permit any nation to endanger or attack the sovereignty of another nation under a false guise, nor threaten the current stability and peace of the region for the sake of realizing their imperialistic ambitions.

Inbound AMF fleets are to rally with craft currently at the blockade and stay stationed there only. They have not been given orders from the Great Hall to do otherwise, and any hostile actions towards them will not be tolerated. AMF vessels have been ordered not to engage unless engaged. And I'm damn sick of these accusations of imperialism, knock it off right now. We are here assisting per Credonia's request in ousting terrorists and insurgents.

The Cemetary Gate was now within eyeshot of the bloackade. It's large and ominous presence dominated the horizon as other Freek ships followed closely behind.

This is the AMFS Cemetary Gate. We are approaching the blockade now. Our orders are to defend only, we have been given no orders to engage at this momnet. Please acknowledge

OOC: Unless I missed a post, the only ships in the area are mine and Ozymandius'. I am not blockading Somalia, and AFAIK, Ozy isn't either.

OOC: Isn't Credonia?

OOC: I didn't think he had arrived yet, but I could easily be mistaken.

OOC: there is the RSS Lun Dun Ri- a small frigate that is there but just watching

We are now loading two warships full of soldiers, weapons and bombs.
They will be ready in IRL one day and will then set sail for the blockade where they will join the blockade on Credonias request.

They will be there IRL 2 days.

ATTN: All nations see this thread- http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142751

In addition, the Credonina 24th and 25th Carrier divisions are now pulling from Somalian waters and heading home

The Credonian 40th, 60th, and 422 Carrier divisions will assume defensive positions for the time being to assist coalition forces if the need arises. The naval blockade is no longer in effect, however, a ground blockade of the Somalian border will be initiated in coming days. Also, Credonian reconassance planes will be performing overflights of the area to confirm that GLA operatives are indeed keeping their word and pulling from Somalia.

Any reconaissance flights by Credonian forces and any blockade of Free Somalia will be perceived as an infringment upon the sovereignty of Free Somalia and will be considered by the Five Civilized Nations as an ACT OF WAR. As we speak, a team of 5CN ambassadors and negotiators will be flown to Free Somalia to assist Ozymandias IV's negotations with the GLA. Meanwhile, 5CN naval assets in the area have been placed on high alert. Two 5CN Li Hongzhang Class Guided Missile Destroyers and one Lin Zexu Class ASW Destroyer have left the island of Zanzibar, bound for Free Somalian territorial waters to assist as part of the international coalition.

We are not against forces wishing to assist Free Somalia. However, we will not tolerate any further infringment upon the sovereignty of Free Somalia...

however, a ground blockade of the Somalian border will be initiated in coming days..

OOC:Where will your troops be stationed? What borders will they be stationed at?

Colonel Illyanvitch watched the shores from his position through his binoculars.
If Intelligence was correct, somewhen in the next 72 hours Credonian Ground Forces would land somewhere along this strip of coastline, as it was closest to various Free Somali Towns.
The Colonel was, unfortunately, one of only 11 Vexians in all of Free Somalia, and 8 of them were Technicians and Engineers brought along to ensure that any Desertstriders that malfunctioned could be eaisly repaired.
the remaining 3 were Observers like himself who were supposed to be training the free Somali in how to operate the things.
In truth, the Striders were never going to be added to the free Somali Arsenal.
This was just an elaborate excuse for a field test of the Spidermechs that were the best Vexia could produce.
And the arrival of the Credonian Troops would be their first real combat engagement with the Striders.
Illyanvitch licked his lips.
Even if everything went wrong, there was no risk of him or his team being killed in the fighting- they would be severla kilometers back from the fighting, controlling the Striders from a command APC.
But he had a feeling the Striders were going to wreak bloody havoc amongst the Credonian Troops- if they ever landed.

Following confirmation of Greece & Cyprus' direct involvement in a terrorist strike against IDF, the Eredronian carrier battle group departed from its postion off the coast of Somalia.

Due to the absence of Eredron's military force, a message was sent to nations who had involved themselves in the Somalia situation, strongly warning them against invading or otherwise threatening Somalia.

well well well *the minister for war and defence, Mr W Churchill exclaims while reading the morning paper* once again those credonians think they can get past us, and i notice a hint of our exclusive thunderchild class warship design, regardless. *he waves to his aide, whom allows key defence personell into the room, to discuss the deployment of a brittanic naval force to crush the credonian one*

they for to long, have evaded the justice, we have saught to impose upon them, their actions in a former colony of great britain, is disasterous, and their neo imperialistic ways, must be stopped, lest the relentless wave of hypocracy, and wave after wave, of copied weapons, the people ofcredonia are obviously weak, designs for their ownw eapons, are never completed, they have to console with cheating and lying, scoundrels, the bunch of em

we'll see to it this time, once and for all, they receeve a right royal kick up their ignoble backsides

BRITTANIA, ENTERS the situation, AGAINST credonia.

OOC: This RP seems to have ended already.

All GLA units are moving west to surrender themselves to the Guerrillistani supply base situated in Eastern Kenya. Total drawdown should occur within the week.

Spokesman Tanner Hunt would like to meet with an Ozymandian representative.

The Republic will send a MH-60R Strikehawk from the RN Carrier Intrepid to a location of Mr. Hunt's choosing to carry him to the Intrepid to discuss the GLA withdrawal from Free Somalia and other issues of international concern.

Please be advised that the helo will be accompanied by four F-18s for security purposes.

The Five Civilized Nations will be providing along with the Ozymandias IV's F-15, a dozen F-39C Corsair Interceptors...

Meanwhile, below the surface in the Gulf of Aden, a silent killer lurked...

The Republic of Ozymandias IV is pleased to see the withdrawal of Credonian naval forces. The Republic's Task Force Bulwark will remain in the region until all blockading vessels leave the area.

We view such a large naval presence in the region as destabilising and a threat to international security.

umm....how is a 3rd world nation going to operate these if it doesnt even have the technology, let alone modern technology at all? They dont need such things, what they need is humanitarian aid. They dont even have an organized military.

perhaps they need it to stop theiving little waistrells like you from nicking their ideas? thats assuming theyve got the mental capacity for thinking.

youve hardly proved credonia isnt a third world nation, other than your insistance on millitary stealing. what are credonia's main exports? which materials do you lack? lol

i wonder if you gave that any amount of thought.. well guess what...

if you would look at Credonia's FACTBOOK...you'd know all of that now wouldnt you

GLA Commander Miles Titus, the last GLA member in Somalia is ready to meet with the Ozymandian representatives in the capital Mogadishu.

He is wearing a Credonian combat jacket and has an AK slung round his shoulders.

Illyanvitch was immensely dissapointed. It didn't look like the Credonians were coming. No matter. the Striders and APC wer ebeing taken back through Mogadishu to a neabry airstrip were a Covert Vexian C-130 was going to land later tonight to pick them up.
In the meantime, they were laughing and joking with the Somalis who had been given Vexian firearms and blueprints for the Striders- though it was doubtful they had anything near the resources to actually build even a factory to build them.
Valdez was merely flaunting his new toys by giving the tech for them to Free Somalia.
Illyanvitch suspected that when Valdez finally had a chance to use them, he would find a good portion of nations with the means to defeat them.
he prayed that he would not be involved in any such conflict anytime soon.

The RSS Lun Dun Ri has left it's position.

With the Navy F-18s orbiting above, the Republic of Ozymandias IV helicopter began its descent into the Mog to pick up the GLA representative.

Upon landing, Commander Titus is instructed to board the MH-60R Strikehawk for a short flight back to the RN Carrier Intrepid where discussions can take place in a secure environment.

Titus walked towards the chopper, leaving his weapon with an aid. The day was baking hot but still he kept on the combat jacket.
Titus stepped into the helicopter, a new experience as he was used to shooting at them. However it was time for peace. Credonia had been defeatd again and foreign military intervention would hopefully end.

"We'll be taking you to the RN Battleship Independence to meet with our task force commander and representatives from the Ministry of State," the flight sergeant shouted over the noise of the engines as she helped strap in Commander Titus."

The helo lifted off and sped out to sea with the fighter aircraft still flying in a protective formation around the chopper.

Shortly after the Ozymandian Helicopter left, a huge, black C-130 came down in the same airfield.
The Cargoramp wa slowered, and the Command APC Drove into it, followed by the 10 Desertstriders.
after 15 minutes of sceuring them, the Plane then taxied down the runway, and proceeded to begin its journey back to Vexia.

The helicopter orbited once around the Indy before flaring in for a landing on the aft pad.

A RN Marine escort was waiting and escorted Commander Titus to a conference room where a Ministry of State delegation was waiting.

"Sir, before you enter we have orders to search you for weapons," the RN Marine sergeant said with a hint of embarrassment. "If you don't mind, please place your hands of the wall and we'll get this over quickly."
