Calindelo Bombed
The brand new stealth bombers developed by the Indian BAE team and the Egyptian BAE coordinators have been tested today. A COBRA meeting with the British Cabinet has overruled Egypt's disapproval, due to every other major power agreeing to this.
The Government has not released a statement, other than a message from the Prime Minister of the British Isles detailing that:

We have been waiting, and we do not expect our allies to aid us. This is a British operation.

On the same night, the PM announced that SAS Paratruppen operatives have freed a prison in Southern Calindelo containing British tourist prisoners.

Hercules jets delivering SAM equipment are due tomorrow, and are preparing to offer Calindelo's citizens refuge.

Baltic Blockade
The Kalmar Union has set up a blockade with the Baltic Fleet that will block all Calindelan ships from freely traversing the Baltic unless they renounce allegiance to the fascist regime. This move will further isolate Fascist Calindelo, adding on to the sanctions placed on them earlier that prevented their ships from crossing to the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, practically shutting down their trade entirely when added to Fascist Calindelo's new border policy. Similar sanctions have also been placed on Fascist Herpostan.

The Kalmar Union Archaean Corps has infiltrated Calindelo, helping refugees to escape and setting up prison breaks.

Herpostan - Freight Aircraft flying low over the Herpostani Wilderness

The freight aircraft, labeled "On-time International Service" flew just above the trees, below radar detection. The plane began to slow for a moment, as figures in Forrest camoflauge Military wear jumped out of the aircraft, 10 figures total left the plane, and opened their parachutes as soon as they left the plane. It was risky doing this, but was the easiest way to avoid detection. And the cheapest. The soldiers, after regrouping, made their way towards a nearby Herpostani Prison Camp, their Chosin made SMGs held in ready position.

Orostani special forces had entered Herpostan.

"Today we live in constant fear, the fear we have against being oppresed by our neighbors that believe they are gods in the world stage. So many unhumanitarian acts and civil liberties despised by the Anti democratic coalition, so we seek justice. As they will not comply otherwise we will do so by force, we formally declare war on the Anti democratic coalition powers and encourage our allies, the true lights of the world to free those in chains and do the same. For Ladvania! For God! For Glory! "

Blitzkreig!

Following reports of atrocities in Herpostan from interior sources that have not been disclosed to the Public yet, and the SNL giving the response Orostan was waiting now for, a vote in the Assembly declared war upon the ADCP and all members of it. Orostani tanks crossed the Argentine border accompanied by infantry an hour later. Railway guns from the LAR conflicts are firing high explosives far into Argentina, aiming for military targets. Orostani Aircraft have begun attacks on major military air bases, with multirole aircraft like the EE-1 forming the head of this attack. Cruise missiles bound for governmental centers and military targets were fired from ships at sea. Orostani destroyers have entered Argentine territorial waters, and begun attacking Espalisan ships in Argentine waters.

War

We were just minding our own business.

Many of you think I'm a monster.

But why am I elected?

Were the population also Monsters?

No, they were ordinary people.

Attack on Leipzig

The "Friendship Railway" was closed due to war.

But a train was arriving at the station. The train was modified. Carrying 18 carriages instead of 10.

The police and soldiers tried to stop the train, then they started shooting.

The rails near the station was removed, thus the train was derailed and entered the station sideways.

The train exploded, (the 18 carriages was filled with TnT)
Destroying the side of the city. Or 1/8 of the city.

France Occupies Andorra

BREAKING: French Army troops have crossed the Andorran frontier, and have begun to occupy the small nation in an orderly manner with full support of the local population. With tensions growing in Europe, France has opted to secure the safety of the small nation as has been the Republic's duty for many years. This is not the first time that France has occupied Andorra: French troops were deployed in 1933, and also between 1936 and 1940. The people of Andorra will be defended until death by the fighting forces of the Sixth Republic. Co-Prince of Andorra Fabien Leonard has released a statement saying that he supports the deployment, and that he will arrive in Andorra as soon as the London meeting ends.

[Akksum]

Declaration

Due to the rising war upon the ADC, Akksum wishes to throw its lot into the war. Willing to supply the countries fighting against the fascists, with Weaponry, Food, medical supplies, and other means of keeping troops of their nation under maintence, while mobilizing its own special team to the frontlines. The Black Panthers, known for the first Capture of Yves, and securing Kermin are being deployed to the frontlines. So in terms of this declaration, we will not bare the threat of Fascism any longer. Akksum will be passing legislation, through the Senate, to see if we will be declaring war. For the freedom of the people! And for the people of Akksum, I say good night!

-President Kidane Alem Daniel

Oil cutbacks!

Due to current prices of oil, the Companies within Akksum's oil industry, domestically have begun to cut back on costs, and production to ensure the increase in the price. The companies are expected to cut back for several months, to a year laying off hundreds of Akksumians. Though oil companies may of been cutting back on their employees, but the Mineral industry within Akksum has been booming due to the rapid industrialization of the DRC.

King Tabor Susnios Chirkos to be crowned!

The new King, King Tabor will be crowned on the 3rd Friday, of January to skip over the stigma dealt with the Thirteenth of January. The man may not have much experience in politics, or with military. But he is expected to help relieve some of the stress put upon the President, due to the issues going on around the planet.

[Espalsio]

Roman Empire of Espaliso ready for negotiations

Following war declarations by some of the European countries, Esteban de Cortez announced that his country is ready for negotiations after reaffirming that Espalsio has no ties to fascism and tried to help the people of Calidelo. He clarified that Espalsio did not agree to an MDP with Calidelo yet and was meant to cooperate with them economically for now

State of Emergency

The government of Espalsio declared state of emergency in three of its governorates: Catalonia, Navarre, and Aragon after France invaded Andorra where the meeting between the two countries was planned. Mario Avianni asked people not to panic and assured them that the government will help them.

Troops Dispatched to Argentina

[Zackaroth]

Zackaroth halves Oil production as well! Begins limiting shipments to Central Europe as Oil Price now suddenly spike upwards!

Today the High Leader annouced that Zackaroth is also halving Oil along with Askkum. This sudden action increased oil prices by a massive amount, causing a sudden price shift that is sending the world economy into turmoil. He has also announced because of the recent threat of looming war in central Europe, Zackaroth cutting off almost all shipping to area for the protections of its people and its various alliances in the area.

[Empire of the United Kingdom]

Using the 6th Omega Flee the Royal Navy are securing Argentine waters, and scanning the waters for Argentine activity in the South Atlantic, soon to be aided by the 3rd Beta Fleet which will reach the Falklands by the end of the week. They are carrying high power radar equipment, and extensive Trophy systems.

Local Falkland residents are being warned that attacks may occur, and are being given the chance to evacuate. British forces in the Falklands have asked the Puertollan Government if civilians can take refuge in Puertollano. Amphibian vehicles and Light Armoured Vehicles in the Falklands are being tested for their Trophy capabilities, and will be operational in a few hours.

Once again, a Hercules plane aware of faltering radar capabilities in the Alps have airdropped 4 of the British made 8-seater Light Armoured Vehicles, use by police in riots and by the military in heavily protected transportation - as well as basic food rations and water for the squad to last another week. The LAVs can sustain intense sustained MG fire and heavy explosive force. They have high horsepower engines, and are made specifically for use in the harsh Himalayan climate and terrain. These vehicles were produced months earlier after a plan to produce 10,000 amphibious vehicles was scrapped for amphibious LAVs. 3 bases have successfully been established, with the LAV's planning to be transported to the bases, one for each base - another for courier duty between bases and drop sites. For the coordinates, contact me via. TG if you are an ally.

The huge re-enforcements from France are excessive but welcomed. They will have to provide their own transportation to minimise knowledge of the whereabouts of the bases for foreign forces. The British Army has stated that it "will not deploy forces yet", while the SAS are still carrying out their duties with the MCOMS and SAM placement in Austria. Modern camouflage white/grey digital blanket-camouflage has been draped over each of the bases, propped by metal rods drilled into the rock. This will limit recon capabilities of foreign recon jets. Heat signatures are proving to be a problem, but everyone is assured by the fact that heat signatures would be far too weak in the Alps for a plane to detect, and to clearly distinguish as being human. Radar systems are up and running, and it will be easy to spot recon jets and vehicles from now on. Until MCOM stations are established in all three of the bases, it will be the job of the 4th LAV to courier messages between camps.

[Calindelo]

Resistance Group Formed


Franz Krall (Left) and Karl Krall (Right)

A resistance in Calindelo, was formed, The "Democratic Resistance Against Authoritarian Rule" or DRAAR.

The two founders are :
Franz Krall, the older brother of Ludwig Krall.

Karl Krall, The only son of Ludwig Krall.

The resistance only has 20K members out of the 65M people. And surprisingly, 12K of them are trained men under the Army or Police.

Upon hearing of the Resistance, Jozef Hornik demanded the arrest of both founders. And will "do unspeakable things to them".

Karl Krall sent a telegram to the French administration:

The government of France,

We, the leaders of Democratic Resistance Against Authoritarian Rule, Karl and Franz Krall, is asking the French government for refuge for the remaining of the war. We have about 20K rebels against the Hornik Administration that we wish to lead from a safe distance. Due to us being criminals in Calindelo.

Best wishes
Karl Krall

Karl Krall also sent another message directly to Fabien Leonard.

Fabien Leonard,

I Karl Krall, one of the founders of the DRAAR, is urging you to... Make the Calins suffer.

Think about it. If Adolf Hitler was loved by the people at the start of WW2, then hated at the end of the war due to the famine, poor government control etc.

Why won't we do the same the Calindelo? This will stop authoritarian rule in Calindelo in the future!

This is only a suggestion.

Best wishes
Karl Krall

BREAKING NEW. PLANE CRASHES INTO GRAND MOSQUE IN MECCA. HUNDREDS FEARED DEAD, FIRE CREWS ON THE WAY.

A tragic scene took place this morning as a large passenger jet plane crashed into the Grand Mosque, one of the world's holiest's sites, in Mecca. Emergency response crews are already one the chaotic scene and nothing has been confirmed yet besides numerous fires have broken out and many are purported to be dead. Fears over the destruction of the Black Stone have not been put to rest as emergency crews have not yet entered the court yard of the Mosque itself and smoke clouds the Stone from view.

The High Leader has been briefed and the ZNDF has claimed they have no leads on what happened yet, besides that contact was lost with the plane after take off. Fear of hijacking planes has been a concern of Zackaroth for awhile, which led to stricter airport security measures in the past. All flights to Zackaroth are being redirected to other countries in the region and all flights in Zackaroth are being given the command to land immediately. We'll have more as the story develops.

[Zackaroth]

Fires at Grand Mosque put out, dead count still unknown. High Leader claims this is an attack on Zackaroth and the Islamic faith.

The emergency crews have out the fires that have been raging at the Grand Mosque since last night and most of today. Recovery and rescue efforts are underway, as well as government investigation of the crash site. Its been reported the plane's black box has been found intact and is under intense scrutiny as officials figure out what happened. Ahead of that however, the High Leader has confirmed the plane was purposely flown into the Grand Mosque but would not say whether it was a hijacking or a purposeful crash by the pilots. Much of the Mosque is damaged but has not been completely destroyed. The reinforced walls absorbed much of the impact, with the fires doing most damage. The Black Stone has been purported to have been heavily damaged but not beyond repair.

This has set off a firestorm within Zackaroth and many Islamic countries. Indonesia and Palestine have both heavily condemned the attacks and promised retribution for those who committed it. Palestine has blamed Zackaroth itself, saying it has strayed so far from the teaching of Islam, that has colluded with other world powers, possibly even Israel to commit this heinous act. Some hardcore Muslim groups are running with this and are blaming Jews and Israel for the attack but many more moderates are pointing fingers at one of the Fascist states in Europe, who Zackaroth's allies are at war with. The High Leader has promised the findings will be made public tomorrow in a speech to the nation.

[Espalsio]

Treaty of Lisbon

Espalsio and the NAF have finally reached a compromise which shall lead the world to peace and prosperity. His Majesty Caesar of Rome Mario Avianni agreed to the NAF terms and conditions which include a change in the government system and dividing Espalsio into several autonomies:
-Aragon
-Catalonia
-Basque
-Spain
-Portugal
-Andalusia
-Morocco
-North Argentina.
In return, the NAF promises a full protection for Espalsio and trade (military and civilian). The people of Barcelona took it to the streets protesting what they call "colonization by the NAF." Most of the Guild members have fled to Morocco and the Royal family was escorted to the Majorca island. Esteban de Cortez was appointed as the temporary head of state. The name will be changed to "Iberian Federation."

World Economy at Risk
British experts have saidthat "an inconceivable world financial crisis could erupt" this year, due to multiple wars across Europe, with apparent disregard for human life.
Eugene Martins, an advisor to the late Monty Brahnen (famous accountant to British celebrities of the past) stated that "this is attrition warfare like no other, and the world's governments seem to lack empathy for human life, and even going as far as draining state-owned industry - which many rely on - for help with funding. State-owned industry is funded by itself and the government, it doesn't make money just for the government, no country can rely on this through a war."

The British pound has been faltering, however compared to the currency situation in Calindelo and Herpostan, there is a huge problem.

[Zackaroth]

Zackaroth releases statement about Grand Mosque attack, releases documents pinning the blame of Orostan!

The High Leader stood in his office in the Grand Citadel within Toss. He looked determined, filled with a righteous fury in his eyes but also giving off a hint of sadness. "People of Zackaroth, of the world, I come bearing tragic and infuriating news. A few days ago, a terrible attack took place within Zackarothian soil. A plane headed for Medina was hijack and crashed into our Grand Mosque, a place of safety and refuge for all who follow the Islamic faith. People who were just visiting, working or praying where ruthlessly killed as the plane was brought down upon them. People who's only thought in that moment was to worship their religion, killed in an instant. Now who would do such a thing? Why? I have heard many names being thrown out, I have seen other countries and religions take the blame.

But it is not them. This was not an attack by the Jews, as more hardliners of Islam would proclaim. Nor, did we attack ourselves for some insane reason. I follow Allah myself. I am a devote Muslim and I would never approve such sacerlige to attack our most holy site and our most sacred grounds. The true enemy is indeed from the West but it is an enemy that we have longed had. Orostan. The aggressive, imperialist, South American nation. Right now, Orostan wages a war of intense brutality and anger but saw fit to attack us. We know the reason. Orostan was indeed attacked by terrorist within Zackaroth, causing immense damage. But instead of coming to us or the world for help, they decided it was us who pulled the trigger. They decided instant retribution was better then dialogue. The scum thought it best to kill hundreds of people and DESTROY a holy site to feed its own ego and attempt to inflict maximum damage! They tried not to terrorize only Zackaroth but all of the Islamic world. They hijacked the plane remotely, dooming the people on board and on the ground.

I will not stand for this people of Zackaroth and world. Not only where my people killed, but hundreds of other from around the world. Their deaths weigh heavy on my heart but their blood lays in Orostans hands. No more. We have watched build weapons of war, threaten war with our allies and boast about their power. No more. As of now, a direct state of war exists between Zackaroth and Orostan.. We will not stop Orostan has paid for its crimes. We will take the fight directly to them and will force them to back down in the name of justice for all those killed at the Grand Mosque! They will claim it was a mere terrorist group but they have done this before. Askkum was a victim of their terrible attacks. They have clearly not learned their lesson. They have clearly not learned what happens when you toy with people's lies.

My fellow Zackarothians, Muslims...people of the world. Many believe that the detsruction of the Grand Mosque is a prelude to judgement day. It indeed is but not for us. For Orostan."
