Military Revolt!

Mengistua
02-12-2005, 01:37
"Today, traitors within the military and other state institutions rebelled against national authority. These traitors have declared the intention of destroying the Islamic State of Mengistua and replacing her with secular institution, in the Shi'ite areas of the south, many have accepted this and are joining with the Christians to fight against us. This is a call to all Sunni Muslims within Mengistua, it is your sacred duty to fight against the forces of evil, Christians and Ali-worshippers to defend the state. The state has always enjoyed support from it's citizens, we beg you, join the armies in the fight against the rebels."
- Address by President Michel Zahna on the Mengistuan Islamic News Channel

"Today is a day of freedom, the forces against tyranny have struck. Many members of the military are fighting for us. We have set up a government in al-Qunaytirah and will march into Mengistua City within days. The government has been an instrument of repression, ruling for the 20% in our nation who is Sunni Muslim. Our freedom will come with secularism and a democratic government led by the Christians and Shia who represent the large majority of our nation. Support the Black Panthers (Christian militia), support the Hope Movement (Shia militia). Today is the day of revolution, it is in your hands now."

"Friendly Nation of Flame From Hell, we require any assistance than can be offered. Our military has been severely hurt by the defection to the traitors and our remaining force is weak and possibly unable to block a co-ordinated offensive."

To: Military rebels
From: General Ken Remmol, Commander-in-Chief of Mirkana

I am willing to assist you in your rebellion. However, my deployment resources are currently tied up in other operations, so I cannot send troops... yet. However, I can provide:
Weapons. Especially sniper rifles. Arms Manufacturing is Mirkana's chief industry. Please send me what weapons you need. Sorry, I have no bioweapons or toxins, and my nukes are not for sale.
Advisors. I will be sending Mirkanan officers to give you advice and assistance.
Advice. I took power in a similar insurrection. Main difference was, I was rebelling against the corrupt, incompetent goverment that preceded me, and I had the entire military behind my - my previous job was Minister of Defense. Still, I can help you on how to quickly overthrow a government by military force.

We do not agree with the Islamic religion, and the many Jihads declared against our nation, and those others that comprise the Western world.

"Regardless of what religion they practice, Arabs are brothers. Sectarianism and religious disputes are irrelevant. We are all one people with one culture and where Arabs are oppressed, other Arabs must be there to aid them. Today we see our Arab brothers oppressed, regardless of whether they are Christian or not, we must help them. In Karuchea, we are an Arab nation and we long ago took a vow to protect all Arabs. We officially extend diplomatic recognition to the rebels as the government of Mengistua with their capital in Qunaytirah'. As such, we are sending 12,000 troops across the border to counter the Quezadrian threat. We are sending old equipment, but still more modern than theirs (T-80s, MiG 33s, Su-27s). We are prepared to sacrifice everything to save our brothers, the Panthers and Amal Movement will recieve our backing in battle."

Official Warning to Quezadria:
Your invasion is not welcome, we have 500,000 troops ready to go into Mengistua and/or your own nation should the need arise. We will give you 18 hours (Real life time) before our troops in Mengistua open fire and then where it goes is up to you. In the name of Pan-Arabism we beg you to pull back and not force action.

Your threats offend us greatly and if you think we will not be encouraged by them to face you, you are mistaken. We will now be prepared to send 90,000 additional troops into the areas of the true Mengistuan government. Within Mengistua our armies shall be known as the "Way of the Ancestor" and shall fight alongside the Army against all forces seeking to destroy Salafism/Real Islam, in Mengistua.

Speech by the General Secretary of the Ba'ath Arab Socialist Party and President of Karuchea, Mohammed al-Ahmar:
"Recently our nation has been faced with a difficult choice. Our choice has been to either ignore oppression on a merely religious basis, that is, to ignore repression of other Arabs simply because they are not Muslim, or to intervene in the name of these people. Many have criticized us for standing up for Christians, saying "how can you fight your Muslim brothers and fight for Christians?". Our response is simple, we are founded on Arabism, we are Arab people and as such our brothers are Arabs regardless of other issues, it is our sacred duty to protect our brothers and it is what we shall do. Once a Muslim starts slaughtering, murdering and repressing Christians he has broken the holy laws and thus is not considered any brother by us. We extend the firmest support to the Rebels in this case. The nation of Quezadria is a nation which is dangerous to the Arab League and to the world as a whole, they will not stop here, but will force their ghulat form of what they claim to be "Islam" all over the world. As of this moment, we are increasing troops in Mengistua to 250,000, all we need is the request from the Rebels to enter Qunaytirah'. The second we recieve this we will move in positions to begin the assault on Mengistua City. We will enter and take the city within 3 days. This is my promise to all Arabs. Long will the days of Arab unity reign, long will the time of Arab freedom exist and never will the days of Arab Socialism die. Long live our great party, and long live our great people!"

We will be withdrawing the 1st Marine Division due to internal problems. Of course, that's not to say that the government of Mengistua has been trying to fool us all along by saying that the rebels are Wahabi extremists themselves.

I'm definitely not sorry to say this: <Four-Letter Word Censure> OFF

Until our social and military modernization is complete, we will not be attempting to intervene in Mengistua. Though if we have to, it'll be to oust your despicable regime.

Yours Sincerely,

"We send out a request to all good Muslims and praise our brothers in Quezadria. Today we are faced with a threat as we see 250,000 troops preparing to invade us. We request more troops from Quezadria and any other nation."
-President Michel Zahna

Message from the Mengistuan Socialist Arab Rebirth Party, Black Panthers and Hope Movement: We thank Karuchea for their help in this despite religious differences. We are prepared to allow you entry across the border and access to all areas we control.

*note: Thought it would be interesting to add a fraternal party, the Rebirth Party will be part of the small Alawi community in our country representing a few thousand people*

Response from King Quezadria III:
We will never cow and bow to kiss the ground before secularists. We are sending almost all of our remaining armed forces, we are sending 200,000 troops more into Mengistua to counter the threat. We will defeat the secularists and be in Qunaytirah in 2 days!

The day was sunny and the desert hot as the tanks rolled across the checkpoint. The troops rode in the transports alongside the tanks, protected by squads of MiG's and Su's. They were going to Qunaytirah', they had to be quick else the Wahabbi would prepare their positions first. The commander came over the radio: "This is Hafez al-Arsuzi. Today is your day, today you will gloriously defend your fellow Arabs against the threat of repression. You fight for all Arabs and for the Leader, Mohammed al-Ahmar. al-Ahmar is the leader of all Arabs and all Arabs love him and respect him. Do not dishonour him and do not fail your brothers. In 2 hours we will reach Qunaytirah', once there we will set up a trench and fortify the area to prepare against the Wahabbi assault. If we can, we will also try to set up some SAM bases, but this is only if we can get there in good order, live well, I will speak to you later, peace upon you and the mercy of Allah." The sand continued to be kicked up as they continued...2 hours.

The King gave the orders, the troops were to surround Mengistua City and prepare for an offensive against Qunaytirah in 2 days. As the troops began getting ready for the offensive, the King announced their assault would begin a day earlier than planned to strike the Militias/Karuchea off-guard, he also, in his wise judgement has said that extra focus will be on the left flank of the tank force to break through and encircle the formation. If worse came to worse he would siege the city. For now, he simply wanted to show his power, he ordered that bombers take off to bomb Qunaytirah. 15 bombers took off.

Several MiG 33's were sent up as were Su 27's, they would intercept the defence-less bombers. Hafez al-Arsuzi laughed at a commander who would send a bombing force without protection. He said that the Leader was pleased at their arrival in Qunaytirah and hoped to see them in Mengistua City soon. Hafez al-Arsuzi gave the orders, all MiG 33's, Su 27's, MiG 29's, MiG 35's and bombers were to take off, all T-72s, T-80s and T-98s were to begin moving. The troops were to begin moving, the assault against Mengistua City was to happen immediately to take the Quezadrian troops off guard. All planes were to intercept the bombers and begin destroying the Quezadrian airforce, with bombers bombing Quezadrian tanks. The tank force was to smash through theirs and the infantry were to take the bases alongside the tanks. From his knowledge the Quezadrian force was devoted to offense, not defence, if this was correct, then a suprise offensive would end the war. It was his time to impress the Leader and hopefully move up the ranks.

Joint Resolution #335-E
The Parliament of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland

HAVING thoroughly reviewed the facts and circumstances surrounding the present civil war in Mengistua between Islamist and secularist factions;

HAVING appealed to the pertinent elements of the government of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland for advice and counsel about the strengths, weaknesses, present and potential committments of the Federal Armed Forces;

AND having appealed most of all to the wisdom of Almighty God, the Lord of Hosts, for counsel as to the proper course that ought to be taken by the Federation of Narnia and Archenland;

We, the members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland in joint, emergency session assembled, duly elected in pursuance to the pertinent provisions of the Federal Constitutions of 1866 and 1950, resolve:

1. THAT the government of Mengistua has long oppressed and denied to its citizens the most fundamental of rights, including the right to freedom of expression and the right to the free, uncoerced exercise of religion;

2. THAT those persons presently in revolt against the government of Mengistua and styling themselves as the legitimate government of Mengistua at Qunaytirah are engaged in a just insurrection, legal according to the unwritten Natural and Moral Law of this World.

In addition, we as a body further resolve:

THAT, though the Armed Forces of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland presently are engaged in other conflicts of interest to the Federation of Narnia and Archenland, it is the solemn obligation of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland, as a free and democratic state, to assist the rebels in Mengistua.

THEREFORE, we the Parliament of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland in our constitutional capacity as the primary representatives and spokespersons of the people of the Federation do command the government of the Federation of Narnia and Archenland presently led by President Augustus to undertake forthwith the non-military assistance of the rebels in Mengistua.

Ratified by a vote of 232 ayes to 41 nays on the third day of December in the year of our Lord 2005

-----

Taking advantage of the joint resolution passed by the Federal Parliament, President Augustus issues a loan of 500 million thalers ($289,017,341) to the Mengistua rebels for the purchase of all necessary arms and equipments. The President also offers the Federation as a safe haven for all persons residing in the rebel-controlled areas of Mengistua who wish to flee the conflict.

The Nation of Prachanda requests an immediate cease-fire of both sides. We request this in the name of the Arab League, if the fighting continues, Arabs will die, this is not the way of Arabism. For the sake of religion, for the sake of brotherhood, I beg both sides to call a cease-fire and begin to discuss matters. Prachanda will host delegations from both sides if they accept.
Quezadria
07-12-2005, 03:58
His Majesty, the King of Quezadria, King Quezadria III. Accepts this offer of a cease-fire, but does not plan to disarm in Mengistua, as a precaution.
Karuchea
08-12-2005, 00:54
"We Accept this cease-fire, however, in light of the lack of disarming on the part of Quezadria, we are incresing troop presence in Mengistua to 400,000. We would like to propose a permanent cease-fire which would allow Karuchea and Quezadria to recall all troops and place Mengistua under the protection of Karuchea until elections can be held." - Mohammed al-Ahmar

Secretly, Ahmar was glad. He began ordering the construction of massive SAM defence systems in Mengistua, by the time the negotiations had failed, he would have the full defence systems neccesary to hold a position and win the war with ease. Now all he had to do was wait.
