Reports from the White Western Province border area
are coming in that black militants fired RPGS at a
group of engineers who are building the wall to keep
the two provinces separated. Several workers were
injured but fortunately there were no fatalities. The
Militants were not as fortunate, Paracommandos from a
nearby base deployed via transport plane and
helicopters to pursue the Militants into the Western
Province and seal off the escape routes. All the
militants were killed or captured. Those captured were
taken back the Whites Western States.


A top general speaking from Rhodes city said "We are
glad that no foreigner workers were killed, we want
our nation to be safe for all. But often scum will
insist on attacking them in attempts to force us to
bow to their terrorist demands."

What do these rebels want. :?

It is a mess. Some rebel groups want total independence and the seizure of the White Western Province. Some want continued union with the FWS but to have more autonomy. Some want a total break and no White Western Province.

Then there are those who want a radical islamic government, a communist / socialist government. Then there are those who want democracy. Right now all they can agree on is that they want independence.

The FWS would be willing to grant them that, but the FWS has a claim to 1/3 of the Western Province. The Black provinces claim about 90-95% Of White Western Province.

There are also about 30,000 whites living in the 1/3 part of Western Province that the FWS claims.
