In response to the continued civil war in Angola following the departure of Mississippian colonial forces, the UWA has deployed over 1000 troops of the crack First Paratrooper Regiment to points just outside of Luanda to hopefully help put an end to the fighting.
UWA diplomats in the ruined Angolan capital have recently reported that the Federation is currently attempting to negotiate a ceasefire between the four main rebel factions. The current force was deployed with the grudging consent of the Movement for the Total Independance of Angola, which has agreed not to attack the paratroopers.
Federation military commanders, on the condition of anonymimity, described the purpose of the soldiers in the country as "strictly for peacekeeping purposes", and to crack down on the banditry and violence that has engulfed Angola. The paratroopers will pave the way for a brigade of military police to keep order in the capital in cooperation with rebel forces.
Prime Minister Doure has encouraged foreign nations, charities, and NGOs to aid in the stabilization effort, which he described as "crucial to Angola's emergence as a nation state from its previous position of a colonial possession."
