The Arab Federation


The Arab Federation – A Brief History.

Created after the Saudi War and the subsequent rebellion of the Rashidi family and its supporters, the powers of the governments of Egypt, Germany and SU compromised and created a democratic government to help restore order in the region. Shortly after, Arabia joined with the small nation of Baghdad to form the Arab Federation. Recently however, rebellion by Arab Socialists preaching pan-Arabism whose cause was made famous by Saddam Hussein, the official mouthpiece of the rebelling forces.

The Arab Federation declared the greater Baghdad area a “dangerous combat area” and ordered all civilian personnel to stay where they are until the area could be pacified. While no specifics were given on the situation in Baghdad, an official informed this paper that the situation had become a fiasco as Saddam’s forces controlled almost the entirety of the city and its suburbs. This is just one more of a much larger series of events that have moderates in the government calling for Saddam’s demands to be addressed.

In secret the IIA offers to pass whatever intelligence gained from it's researches into Saddam's activities, along to the Arab Fedration.

The Japanese also secretly approach the Arab Federation with the same offer

The Arab Federation expresses extreme gratitude at the offer but considering the actions may legitimize the rebels claims of S.C.T. ‘meddling’ in the region it must decline the offer. It does mention the possibility of future cooperation with the S.C.T. and its members once the rebellion is defeated.

Coup Crushed!

A coup d'état which for all intents and purposes came within a hair’s breath of succeeding occurred yesterday in Riyadh. While the rebellion has been crushed by police and military forces, members of the coup still control several key facilities in parts of the city. While no official count has been issued on the causalities, a source within the Riyadh police said that the police and military forces in the capital had taken extremely heavy causalities with significant numbers of men either participating in the coup or fleeing to the countryside around the capital which in recent months has become a no-go zone for government forces.

Meanwhile the Arab Socialist’s repeated their assurances that all government forces or supporters that surrender while be treated fairly and most likely be allowed to return home so long as they swear to never fight for the current government again. This is seen to be in response to rumors that government forces executed several members of the coup after they had surrendered.

As to the rumored death of several key members of the government in the rebellions no comment has yet to be made by officials and all inquires were ignored as of yet.

so was this a pro-Socialist coup?

ooc: yes

ATTENTION ALL COMBAT UNITS

As of 12:00 hours, contact with Riyadh-based forces was disrupted and has yet to be re-established. Be advised that loss of the capital may have occurred. All forces prepare for possible rebel attacks on positions and remain prepared to withdraw forces to secondary defensive lines.

With the Arab-Socialists in power, reforms are introduce to bring back the Arab Federation to the 'true' path. Islam is decreed the official religion of the nation though all others are free to practice and the government is slowly reformed to make it more centralized and to move it away from being an actual federation.

Internal Mukhabarat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Intelligence_Service) Memo
Rumors continue to swirl after several newspapers have published documents containing information which several members of the Mejlis Watani claim show that Field Marshal Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr was involved in several massacres of innocent Europeans in the Middle Eastern Union Civil War. It should be noted that while very few documents survive from that period, even less contain references to the slaughter of civilians even though atrocities by all sides were common. The Planning Office recommends that this fact be emphasized as to suggest these documents are forgeries designed to discredit al-Bakr. Whether or not these allegations are true, this matter is deemed to be important to the legitimacy of the government and should be answered swiftly and loudly. The Public Service Office recommends publishing the corrected records on al-Bakr to the public with emphasis on the fact that most records of that era are located in Turkey. Also recommended is the expansion of Directorate 19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Intelligence_Service#Special_Bureau) to help deal with any future leaks of uncorrected personnel files.

Saddam Assassinated!

Baghdad (AP) – The Arab Federation government announced today that last night as President Saddam Hussein was returning from a visit to his family in Tikrit, his convoy was attacked by rebels using what Defense Ministry officials “military style tactics and weapons.” While the President’s Special Republican Guard escort managed to drive off the attackers, killing most, the President was already dead, his car struck by multiple RPG’s.

While there is no word on who is responsible as of yet, Defense Ministry officials tell us that the series of raids in Riyadh and near the Western Arabian border were directly related to the assassination of President Hussein.

Meanwhile Michel Aflaq was sworn in as President early this morning in a private ceremony. In his first order as President, Aflaq declared a week of mourning for one of the key figures in the Revolution. He also declared martial law and ordered a 10 PM to 5 AM curfew in affect for the next week. He also ordered the military to mobilize and has order it to assist the police in guarding all important civilian structures.

Germany sends official mourning for President Saddam and issues a week of Mourning in Germany for such a strong supporter of Germany.

Fieldmarschall Manfred Rommel attends his funeral and in discussions with the new president, expresses his hope that German-AF relations will remain as close as they were.

The French Ambassador conveys the condolences of the French Government and hope that justice shall be swiftly dealt to the perpetrators.

The British parliament conveys their condolences to the AF government. It is hoped that the perpetrators of this vile deed are swiftly brought to justice.

President Aflaq heartily thanks all nations for their support and reiterates that the Arab Federation will continue to honor all its obligations, including the ToD and its alliance with Germany.

The Grand Patriach Sanga of Indochina issues a statement of regret for the lives lost and hopes that true justice will be brought to the perpetrators.

The UIR expresses regret at the President's passing, and is sad it cannot do anything more at the moment

In an editorial in the Baghdad newpaper, Manfred Rommel celebrates Saddam's life and works.

He also expresses his hope that his dream of Pan-Arabism didn't die with him.

Riots rocked several major cities today as hundreds of thousands of people flooded into the streets of Baghdad and Riyadh in rememberance of former President Saddam Hussein. While the protests were largely peaceful, Police were forced to disperse a crowd that had surounded the Western Arabian Embassy in Riyadh. While the government has repeatedly denied having to found any connection between the Western Arabian government and the assassination, the public has widely blamed the Arabian gov't for the attack. The police arrested several persons who they claim were planning on storming the embassy during the protest.

The German Commander in Riyadh immediately ordered the local garrison on high alert and has recalled all troops back to base and ordered a lockdown. A message is sent to the Riyadh mayor reporting that the lockdown is simply a security measure and reminds him that Germany is not willing to get involved in a petty rivalry and it is up to the AF Government to do what is feels is necissary.

In response to the growing tensions in the Middle East the RAF forces at the Kuwait City airbase step up exercises in cooperation with the RN Indian Ocean and Arabian Gulf Fleet.

Britain offers the use of several Metropolitan Police specialists to assist the AF police in controlling riots and tracking down murderers (ie those that killed Saddam) with the intent of defusing the volatile situation.

South African military forces in the region take no overt action, though the staff officers at Middle Eastern High Command in Jerusalem send a message to the Omani government suggesting that they watch their backyard.
