Demonstrating students massacred at University of Kinshasa

Congo--Kinshasa
25-10-2006, 06:12
"What do we want?" François Gizenga shouted into the megaphone.

"Real democracy!" the two hundred or so university students in attendance shouted in unison.

"When do we want it?" Gizenga asked.

"We want it now!"

For years, Zairians had endured unspeakable suffering at the hands of a severely repressive regime run by a man widely regarded as one of the most corrupt heads of state of all time. In the early 1990s, when Mobutu introduced multiparty "democracy," which was so rife with fraud it soon was dubbed "multi-Mobutism," demonstrations, many of them violent, had been frequent. In the aftermath of Mobutu's victory in the Great Central African War, when Mobutu once again made Zaire a one-party state, scores of union leaders, opposition party activists, students, and dissident military officers were purged, often succumbing to gruesome fates. Mobutu's massive, brutal reprisals reduced political activity to a standstill. Yet, since that time, discontent continued to simmer beneath the seemingly placid surface of Zairian society, gradually raising in temperature until it reached a boiling point, finally culminating, on this day, in a student demonstration - entirely law-abiding and peaceful - at the University of Kinshasa.

The students took utmost care to avoid criticizing Mobutu or his mother by name; in 1971, students who had circulated a tract suggesting his mother had been a femme libre lived (but not for long) to regret it. There were not even any antigovernment connotations perceived in the demonstrations; it was simply a law-abiding gathering of students requesting a more transparent, democratic government accountable to the people. None advocated revolution, lawlessness, or anything "extremist." In fact, Gizenga, leader of the demonstration, worked diligently to ensure that only the most moderate of students were in attendance.

As the students marched, waving placards bearing pro-democracy slogans, chanting "We want multiparty," and quoting such figures as Gandhi and MLK, Jr., what began as a modest gathering soon attracted a considerable following. Soon, almost the entire student body, as well as several teachers, joined in, as well as Zairian passers-by whose curiosity was piqued by the demonstrations. Within an hour, more than 1,000 Zairians, from every walk of life, of every religion, tribe, socioeconomic status, gender, and political view, were present, marching around the campus. It was not long before the ire of the security forces was attracted.

Tanks rolled smoothly across the grass, skidding slowly to a halt in front of the demonstrators. Battered, rusting, nearly inoperable police cars, several years beyond their expiration dates, pulled into the parking lot. Members of the Kinshasa police force, armed with submachine guns, exited the vehicles. Soon, bulletproof black vans containing SNIP agents arrived, as well as a small contingent of DSP soldiers.

Captain Pierre Bolozi Nzambo bellowed into a microphone, "This is an illegal demonstration. Disperse and return to your homes at once!"

While a few people complied, many continued to demonstrate.

Bolozi nodded, and all the security forces present raised their weapons, their fingers poised on the trigger. "Cease. And desist. At once!"

Continued chants of "We want multiparty," "Freedom or death," etc., assured Bolozi that further requests to desist would be met with further rebuttals.

In a very low, atonal voice, he said, "Fire."

The sound of gunfire began ringing out, as mass panic seized the demonstrators, who broke and ran. Already, several had been mowed down, collapsing in pools of blood. Bullets flew indiscriminately in every direction, toppling demonstrators like dominoes by the dozens. Under Bolozi's orders, the tanks followed suit, firing rounds that generated explosions which sent limbs and entrails flying everywhere. The sounds of screaming were omnipresent, and the carnage was indescribable. Retreating columns of students were fired upon, laying them to rest. One janitor who had come with his three year old son perished as a sniper's bullet caused his skull to explode like gory confetti; his weeping, bewildered, terrified son soon joined him. The security forces were unceasing and merciless in their dispersion of the "subversives;" anyone and everyone in their path was gunned down, without regard to age, status, or tribal affiliation.

By the time the dust settled and the shooting stopped, the campus was red with blood. More than two hundred people were immediately killed, with several dozen more wounded; in the aftermath, each wounded person was examined briefly and shot, and every dead body was shot at least once in the forehead to ensure the person was truly dead. When their work was finished, the security forces left, as quickly as they had come, leaving only horror in their wake.



Voice of Zaire - Live Broadcast

"Good evening, citizens of Zaire, and welcome to the Voice of Zaire, the republic's most reliable and trustworthy source of news from a patriotic perspective. Today, riots broke out at the University of Kinshasa, as anarchists, rebels, dividends, and other hooligans caused extensive property damage, threatened the safety of students and faculty, and spread lawlessness. Security forces attempting to persuade the rioters to peacefully cease and desist were violently rebutted, and several officers were forced to fire in self-defense. Between twelve and forty rioters were killed. Government sources have confirmed that this was an opposition-orchestrated plot meant to "contribute to a breakdown of law and order, incite revolution, and initiate violence on so vast a scale as to bring down the republic." There are reports that several detailed plans to assassinate the President were also uncovered. However, National Security Advisor Honoré Ngbanda assured our correspondents that, "The worst is over. The plot has been foiled, and peace has resumed." In other news, Dr. Al Bashir of Khailfah al Muslimeen arrived in Gbadolite today..."

Meanwhile back in the Gyrobot Corporate Council halls

"What? We will have to wait for another batch of technicians to come over to our glorious factories"

"Yes, the students were deceased due to unknown reasons"

"I see...very well"

With that, the CEO of Mechaton, Gyrobot's automaton firm closed off the phone, the massacre had an huge economic effect on the company since they were hiring African students as part of a "Modernize Africa" Campaign. An campaign urging Africa to accept western values, everything from true democracy to Unhindered capitalism. Immediately he order the council to rally forth. A command that a CEO can use once in his lifetime. He immediately told the council everything.

"This is terrible"

"I cant stomach this type of slaughter, They should have snuck a pistol in their clothing in case the worst comes, at least take out someone..."

"I suggest we reform their government with our military assets, teach them the wrath of the CC."

"We will make sure those bastards suffer."

With that the council given the orders for the corporate army to mobilize....

Offical Condemnation
The words of a Dictatorship such as yourself is worth nil to the world. You stupidly claim self defense and an attempt at Revolution, a small College protest is what we h ear, your blood letting tactics will not be allowed to continue much longer. I'd advise you to learn to disperse protesters peacefully, and address their issues, least you end up like the Kaufman regime. -Lone Alliance ministry of dealing with Stupid Evil nations.

(Kaufman was the first president of Torontia who that hunted down and killed everyone in a college that had been demanding democracy, along with threats of war against other nations. It eventually resulted in him facing invasion by my nation's forces, (with some Imperalist help from Kraven.)which were fed up with his war crimes. This forced him to have a real election and it resulted in his overthrow.

"Clear-cut, irrefutable evidence has been presented to me revealing foreign complicity in these riots. We have proof that agents of The Lone Alliance worked deliberately and maliciously to foment disorder and undermine the Zairian government. Therefore, all diplomats and other personnel from that country have 48 hours to leave Zaire."

OOC: I'm sure I would, and I use the Leafanistan Instant Embassy design.

-TLA Embassy-
The majority of the Embassy staff had heard nothing yet of the demand, therefore it was a suprise for the two guards that stood outside the Embassy for a group of Zaire Military vehicles pulling up outside their post. Stepping out the officer in charge of the group stood and spoke to the soldiers. "Your nation has been charged with attempting to undermine the National Government, you and the rest of the staff are ordered to depart the embassy and to depart the nation within 48 hours or be arrested for spying." "On who's authority?" The soldier said angerly, he dealt with such military types, sometimes it was just a general on a power trip. "On the Presidents," was the reply as a written order was basicly shoved in the soldier's face. "I'll have to go speak with someone higher up," the soldier said nervously turning around and walking into the complex through the gate in the cement walls. The other guard took a look at the fire power, then ducked inside the gate also.

-Embassy-
While the Ambassodor himself was preparing to depart the rest of the Embassy when on high alert at the alarm from possible hostiles right at the gates. Secret storage rooms opened up and Anti-Tank weaponary was handed out to embassy soldiers, while from the upper floors the hidden mounted .50 machine guns were manned. Two of the guard vehicles were gassed up and manned.

While this was happening A message was sent out to the Council. We have wolves at the door with an eviction notice, and this house is only made of sticks. Request orders to flee to the bricks?

TLA is a racist, retrograde regime of Marxists, crackpots, thugs, and drug addicts.

-Airport-
The ambassador was just lifting off on his jet when a message was delived. "Ambassodor another message from them." "Dammit,
"They're blaming us?" he shouted tossing the message on the floor. "Is the staff still on site?" "Yes, they are in lockdown until a transport arrives." "As soon as we are out of Zaire airspace tell them to go into full defensive positions."

"The nation of Pontbridge should know that most, if not all, of the 'unarmed student demonstrators,' were neither unarmed, nor students, nor demonstrators. Most were armed, many were rebels masquerading as students, and all were violent, disorderly rioters, not mere 'demonstrators.' My armed forces fired only in self-defense, and for this, they have no reason to apologize."

-Embassy-
As the plane did leave the airspace A siren sounded throughout the Embassy as Blast doors covered over the windows and doors and a thick Titanium Gate lifted up and blocked the only entrance between the massive cement walls. As the gate shut... All hell broke loose. No one really knew when the first shot was fired or who fired it or if it was even a shot, but the Embassy soldiers took it as an attack and took aim at the enemy. The other Soldiers, which had been loading the cars to prepare to leave, dropped everything and grabbed their weapons. The 65 people of the Embassy staff prepared to launch open warfare within the city. An announcement came over a loudspeaker. "Zaire soldiers, move away from the entrance and cease any further shots, I repeat, any further shots and you will be fired upon."

INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Our nation has been horrified to announce that the nation of Zaire, who aside from blaming our nation for their problems, is preparing to attack and kill the staff of our Embassy! We will have no choice but to consider this a declaration of war against our nation. We beg the Dominion to intervene and try and stop this situation. If they do not cease at once we will have no choice but to defend ourselves.

Out of the shadows on the other side of the road, a lone figure walked out and moved towards the soldiers of Zaire. He was a white male with a dark brown hair and light green eyes. He wore a dark black suit.

He walked straight up to the commander. “ Lets not give these punks a reason to invade. Tell your men to back off and allow the trigger happy people inside to clam down.” the man said.

Note from the Desk of the Supreme Emperor, George A. Loak
It has come to the attention of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom that a peaceful protest was quickly and decisivly disbanded by the blatant murder of dozens, if not hundreds of students. We here at the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom do not enjoy watching innocents killed in foreign countries so we have banned any and all video footage of this incident from appearing on any Telvision in the Dark Empire.

We now find ourselves in a wierd position. We wish to know why these innocents were killed as from what i've seen, they did not have any weapons at all. I also have satelite video footage of the incident where they all were gunned down. We hearby are condemning this action taken by the Governemnt in question. We hearby give The Republic of Congo--Kinsha roughly 8 hours to withdraw from their Embasy in the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom or we will overrun it and arrest any diplomats and/or Congo--Kishani civlians in the complex for crimes against humanity and try them in the worst courts in the Dark Empire.

The Crookfur Embassy, would of course find itself forced to make some sort of comment and in the end came up with:
"The loss of life, particularly of the yougnest and brightest of a nation in such situations is of course regretable and while it is easy to laddle out the blame this could well be counter productive. The Crookfur govenrment would urge the Zaire authorities to make soem steps in reining in the perhaps over zealous members of thier security forces and implement some controls so as to prevent futher troublesome clashs. In this light we would like to offer emebers of the Ziare adminsitration a chance to visit Crookfur and explore our methods of harm reduction, most notably our free assembly areas."

OOC:
The Free assembly areas are basically small districts in each Crookfur city where anyoen can say or do anythign they like in protest agaisnt anything, they are generally free of thigns to be dmaaged but are a major media hotspot, Zaire coudl always copy them witha few twists of their own, liek the TV cameras replaced with MG posts etc etc, thus being able to claim a step forward without actually doing anything

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Staging Ground. 2 Blocks away from Embassy; Shaz City, Shazbotdom
The marines gathered their gear. They checked to make sure that they had their weapons packed and had clips for the tranquilizer darts that they would use in this operation. T-Minus five minutes till the deadline and there was no sign of the embassy staff preparing to leave. The marines slowly made their way towards the compound, making sure that they didn’t come in sight of the guards in front of the building. Power to the street lamps was cut to ensure that they couldn’t see the marines in the darkness of night. Several marines snuck around and made entry to the embassy walls next door at 25572 Galen Q. Leotardia Ave, which remained un-used at the current time.

Several snipers were in the bushes at the park across the street from the Embassy waiting for the order to fire. There was one minute left and the snipers were ready to take out the three guards out in front of the main gate to the complex. At the same time, a group of 30 Marines were prepared to scale the wall into the main courtyard. They had tossed up some grappling hook ladders and were about half way up them waiting for the go ahead. 30 seconds remain as the snipers began to peer through their scopes, waiting for the word. They each turned the safety off on their gun and picked a target.

S1: “We have movement in a window. Watch him and prepare to take him out.”

Five seconds. Someone started a countdown on the headsets.

“Five. Four. Three. Two. One.”

Then it happened. A general got on the headset, “Take the shot. Move in.”

GLOBAL IC:
Several shots rang out at the same time as the guards at the main gate shook slightly. None of them noticed the dart hanging out of their necks but noticed it on each other. They pointed but it was in vein as seconds after they pointed at each other they dropped, unconscious. Someone looked out the upstairs window but figured that nothing was going on. It was then that the spotlight trucks switched on their generators and a flood of light hit the compound like a mack truck. It was then that the people inside knew that something was going down.

Marine after marines jumped over the wall on the side of the complex weapons drawn and pointing at the various people who came out into the courtyard to see what was going on. The people then ran and when the marines noticed this they opened up on them, firing dart after dart at the staff. Person after person dropped to the ground only seconds after being hit by a dart as the marines continued their way towards the main door. Some people made their way inside the building. The marines took up positions just off the balcony near the front door as two went back to the main gate and typed in the master security key override.

It was then that a large armored bus approached and entered through the main gate. The marines picked up those who had been hit by darts and carried them over to the bus where some marines got out of the buses and helped to bring the detainees into the bus and secure them into a seat.

Back at the main door the marines had secured a breaching charge onto the door and crouched behind some shrubbery and statues in the yard before the lead man pushed a red button on a controller. The charge blew and the door swung open and slammed into the inside wall, denting the wall so much that a crack appeared. The marines then stormed inside, pointing their guns at anyone in the room. A shot ran out and one of the marines was struck in his left shoulder. The rest of the team made a quick sweep to see a man holding a glock 35mm handgun. They opened up on him, putting three darts into his chest and abdomen. They then cautiously approached anyone else in the room and secured them. The clean up crew walked into the room and took those who were secured with tie wraps out the main door and into the bus outside.

Half an hour later

There was only one room left that the marines hadn’t checked yet. And it would be the most secure room in the building. There were three men unaccounted for in the building; The Ambassador and two guards. Marines had stacked up on both doors that opened up into the Ambassadors office and prepared to enter. Two marines, one at each door, had breaching shells inside of their shotguns and got up close to the door. From the side of each door, they fired one shot into the doorknob, which fractured the locking mechanism in each door, causing it to fly open. The guards, noticing that they were out manned, decided to drop their weapons and put their hands up into the air. The ambassador, though, decided that he didn’t want to go without a fight so he picked up the guns and pointed them at a marine. Before he could even aim well enough to hit someone, a marine popped off a dart into his ass, literally, and the ambassador yelled and turned around.

Before he could even see the man that shot him, he had fallen to the ground as unconscious as if he was in a very deep sleep. The marines made quick work to secure the guards and the ambassadors body before the clean up crew came in to the room and pulled them all out. The marines then quickly tallied up how many people that they had apprehended and started out the front door to what seemed to be daylight, or the crack of dawn at least as it looked like day with the spotlights still running.

“Hi. I’m Todd Grisham. Now for today’s top story. Early this morning the Shazbotdom Marine Corps, in conjunction with the local police force, raided the embassy of The Republic of Congo-- Kinshasa after they were warned that their recent murder of several scholars, professors, and citizens near a major university in Congo--Kinshasa. The Supreme Emperor has gone on record that he gave them 8 hours to evacuate the embassy complex before they were forcefully removed and tried for the murder of those killed at the university. There has been no international outcry for the events that happened at the Embassy as of this moment but we do expect to see something within hours, if not minutes, of this news broadcast.

Over the skies of Zaire a lone jet fighter flew over the high rise buildings of the city. Without warning or provocation the jet broke it's usual flight path and made a nose dive toward the city's powerplant.

Before anybody could know what was happening, let alone stop it, the jet fighter launched a single missile from it's pod.

With an ear splitting roar the powerplant was consumed in flames as the bomb made a direct hit. The screams of the people caught in the blast were drowned out by the sound of burning wreckage and fire alarms.

With it's work done the fighter broke from it's dive and began it's journey back to the aircraft carrier in international waters. The aircraft could have only come from one nation- Pontbridge.

The aircraft arrived back on the Corutampa carrier.

"Attack run made sir" said the pilot.

"No such attack had been ordered, we aren't even at war with Zaire"

"Oh crap....."

OOC: And this is what we call a god mode. It’s a bad thing. Your fighter would have been stopped before you entered the airspace of the nation. Meaning you can’t just role-play this fighter appearing above city.

You need to role-play it flying off the carrier, heading into the airspace then from there, Zaire radars would pick up your fighter entering their airspace.

Meaning you would have their fighter in the air and going after your fighter.

A wing of Tornado attack fighters bearing the Cross of Sol Giuldor approached Zaire airspace. Armed with high power napalm warheads, Crusader High Command had launched a strike to be precisely timed with the declaration of war. They had orders to wipe out any form of industrial plants. Meanwhile, Sol Giuldor prepared to defend itself from the allies of Zaire, the Crusader fortresses scattered throughout the country are now on full alert. At the direct orders of Archbishop Benedictus himself, a force of 5,000 Tempar elite troops was preparing to launch a furious blitzkrieg into Zaire, with the main army staying home to defend Sol Giuldor from any reprisals. The massive battleships of the Crusader Navy sailed around the main waterways of the nation, unfortunately, the Sol Giuldor Navy was not known for its ability to move quickly....

Official Communique of the Democratic Soviets of Kravania

From: The Democratic Soviets of Kravania
To: The Republic of Zaire

The Democratic Soviets of Kravania states it's outright opposition to the methods, tactics and practices of the Fascist regime of the bloodstained dictator Mobuto of the Republic of Zaire.

The Democratic Soviets of Kravania knows that all statements made by your nation's Fascist regime with regards to the demonstrators being violent, armed, in league with armed rebel groups and that the demonstrators were part of a revolutionary plot to violently overthrow your fascist regime and assisnate the dictator Mobuto are nothing but outright lies and poor attempts at Fascist propaganda.

The Democratic Soviets of Kravania have actual satellite evidence that shows that the demonstrators were not armed, not violent and that they were set upon by the Fascist regime's security forces without reason or rationale. The events at the University of Kinshasa are a classic example of the state terrorism that the Fascist regime of Mobuto inflicts upon his oppressed people for the perverse needs of his own power lust and to offer the stability that is so craved by Mobuto's imperialist masters, who have used Mobuto's regime as a means by which to make Zaire a nation fit for the exploitation of it's resources and labour by an array of powerful imperialist and global corporate interests. The Fascist regime of Mobuto has no actual evidence by which it can prove it's absurd claim that the peaceful demonstrators at the University of Kinshasa were anything other than what they actually were, peaceful and non-violent demonstrators. The Democratic Soviets of Kravania has even learnt that the demonstrators were actually operating within the laws of the Republic of Zaire as set by the very constitution that was made and drafted by the dictator Mobuto himself. How ironic then that Mobuto kills the innocents who were only ever guilty of following the very laws he made for the Republic of Zaire.

The Democratic Soviets of Kravania knows that the Fascist regime of Mobuto will not grant freedom to the people of Zaire nor will the Fascist regime of Mobuto make right the many wrongs that occured at the tragic scene of events at the University of Kinshasa. The Democratic Soviets of Kravania and our people know that the price of real and genuine freedom comes at a high price, especially when you fight for freedom against the tyranny of states and tyrants. The Democratic Soviets of Kravania and our people still have the memories of the Great Kravanian Proletarian Revolution that only five years ago freed our people from the worlds most bizarre, extreme and bloody of all totalitarian systems, the former regime of Father and his supposed 'Great Humanist Revolution' which turned our people and Kravania into one huge prison camp of zombified drones. We paid our price for freedom in blood and now we are free. The same process shall now befall the oppressed people of Zaire and because of this we in Kravania, strong and united under our love of freedom, are left with no other choice:

A state of total war now exists between the Democratic Soviets of Kravania and the Republic of Zaire.

The aim of our war to liberate Ziare is an anti-imperialist one that shall give the people of Zaire a real ability and a genuine chance to determin their own future and to live their own lives free of fear and oppression. Upon the removal of the Fascist regime of Mobuto, all Kravanian troops shall withdrawl from Zaire, so as to allow the nation of Zaire and it's people to be free from all forms of oppression and imperialism.

Any nation that sides with the Fascist regime of Mobuto against the war effort of Kravania to liberate Zaire shall automatically find themselves at war with the Democratic Soviets of Kravania.

Kravania's only wish is to see the removal of the Fascist regime of the dictator Mobuto, nothing more and nothing less!

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Government of Kahanistan unequivocally condemns the massacres of protestors in Kinshasa at the hands of the barbaric Mobutu regime. These cruel and repressive acts make it clear beyond all doubt that the current order of government cares more about remaining in power than about allowing the freedom of the people to choose their government and exercise the freedoms given to all human beings in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

However, we are disturbed at the Kravanian declaration of "total war." In generally accepted terms, this often implies attacks on civilian infrastructure. We urge the Government of Kravania to clarify its statement for the international community.

The Borei-class submarine, Quiet Legacy, sailed within 3,000 kilometers of the Kravania. The seas were rough, a monsoon was blowing and the seas were chaotic. The launch of a single Bulava missile with 6 MIRVs, loaded with Kraven Corporation C-12 with half tonne warheads was barely noticed amongst the lightening flashes and the heavy waves.

The noise was drowned out by the sea and the hypersonic quasiballistic missile roared to its target. The targets were chosen by a client, with accompanying satellite photos and coordinates.

Each MIRV had it own target, two powerplants, a government building, a school, and two fire stations within reach of these targets. The targets were in a single city.

The submarine sailed away, far away from Kravania, to distant waters in the North Atlantic.
