New Arab Spring in Hatay (MT/Open/diplomatic)

Postby Bashriyya » Fri Mar 31, 2017 4:08 pm

Al-Qaman and surrounding areas
A dark war had occurred planned by Bashriyya's elite Fedayeen in occurance with their Muslim Brotherhood proxies.

Thousands of protestors took to the streets, many of them being accused by the local media of being Islamists, chants could be heard throughout the streets, as men marching with Palestinian flags and Black standard flags the marches were long and were massive anti-secular protests and advocated for Sharia law.

"We want Sharia, we want Osama, we want Jihad!" shouted one particularly radical protestor another followed him "Al-Qaman will be run by sharia, nothing else, the kuffar's laws have no meaning here."

In one bloc, a group of protestors harassed local women for not wearing a full veil, a few gays across the area were being beaten by groups of Islamists, and stores caught selling Alcohol were being burned down by violent Islamists with Molotov cocktails.

one group of protestors began to burn cars, others tossed rocks and Molotov cocktails at a court building burning it down, the violence began to get very unstable, protestors began to block roads causing problems in traffic, and were burning tires and dousing cloth in gasoline to stop traffic.

In one area local police would find themselves being ambushed by armed assailants and snipers using the roof tops for cover, many locals who are against the protests are blaming the Bashriyyans, claiming Nashid's intelligence agency is agitating the violence and trying to start a civil-war similar to the ones in Lebanon and Iraq.

the violence was agitated by an assortment of Muslim Brotherhood front groups, think tanks and NGOs, it was popularized by #HatayanSpring on twitter that spread among Islamist circles, it paid tribute to the Free Syrian Army, Hamas and other Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups.

It was further agitated when a radical professor from Al-Qaman, had four his students attack local police using pipe-bombs, the police was forced to defend themselves and fired on the four students and the professor killing them. and it has caused massive protests to happen all over Al-Qaman.

Protestors began marching through-out the city, the day of rage had come.

Internal Security Force

Local Elements of the Republican Safety Commission could not control the situation of the several thousand rioters. The Internal Security Forces and Republican Armed Police had immediately been dispatched to amend the situation. The Provincial Assembly of Al-Qaman and the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly had been deferred control of the situation by Kamijama, who had other things other then Salafist riots to worry about. Protestors were blocking many highways entering the city. Inside the city, local police took positions behind parked cars. The got on top of them and spoke through megaphones.
"DISPERSE IMMEDIATELY!!!!! DISPERSE!!!! WE ARE PREPARED TO USE ARMED FORCE!!!"
The policemen aimed pistols at the protestors. Counter-protestors gathered across the streets chanting against the Muslim Brotherhood and against Field Marshal Nasheed.
On roads entering the city, Alvis Saracen bearing the emblem above pushed their way through crowds, with men of the RAP pressing forwards into full riot gear, shields, batons, and assault rifles loaded with rubber bullets. Riot officers arrested people who fell behind their lines, as they pressed into the city. As snipers began to fire, the men fired hails of rubber bullets at all armed men, breaking through would not be hard with their superior technology.

A group of protestors began to calm down in one part of the city throwing rocks at the police, waving black jihadist flags, they were the typical salafist wearing long beards, they chanted "Respect our culture!" "Honor the religion of our ancestors! Let us practice our customs!" chants of "Takbir!" and "Allahu Akbar!" could be heard.

The rocks bounced harmlessly off the shields of the riot police, who turned on this group of protesters, aiming their AR-15 rifles loaded with rubber bullets and wielded batons. Counter protestors gathered on another side, waving Hatayan flags and chanting:
"No more violence in Al-Qaman!"
The police shouted for the protestors to disperse as they started pushing the protesters with their shields trying to arrest some.

From the roof of the neighboring building, Idris al Aziz slowly smiled, correcting his long, dark beard. The policemen had fallen in this trap, thinking that this was merely a simple gathering of salafist youth - and that was his intention with intentional use of deception. By setting the youngest and most vulnerable - and often the most ideologized members of his group - in the open, he made sure that his message would be heard - and so it did when countless of them started falling under the rubber bullets, making sure that a peaceful protest - later turning into rock throwing - would be recorded by the media. This was key element of his plan, to utilize social networks to quickly spread his message. Unlike his predecessors, Idris was holding the belief that if Islam is to triumph, it needs to find practical answer for problems of modernity. And so he did by starting the Islamic social movement, on purpose appealing to the Hatayan lower class that lost a lot to the globalization and transitional phase in the economy it caused.

In fact, he had manpower to do so. His movement has been spreading progressively in urban communities and among the lower class, recruiting both people who wanted to see cultural as much as social change. His vision was to form a social state which redistributed the wealth, and another important group of people has been won by anti-corruption campaigns he organized. Now, even if his group was minority in the society, it was also one of most politically active ones. All that remained was to drive by buses the salafist horde and unleash it in the capital, they needed to wait until the Hatayan police cleared the roads of the rioters he himself put in place. While hundreds of thousands of people protesting came from all over the country - and often even from far away, due to long process of sending into Al-Qaman foreign jihadists who were going to play a role in the later phase - the media won't know that and will portray the protests as massive. Now add to this the fact that the movement had also many social calls - such as calling multiple programs that Golofad created "unjust" and actively opposing free trade deals because of which many people lost their jobs - and the base for the movement was ready.

Aziz began to laugh hysterically he picked up a satellite phone and began to order his men to bring the "poppers" into place against the "coppers".

Around the city, the perimeter of ISF and RAP men closed in, slowly pushing through with batons and rubber bullets, arresting over 100 so far. Their armored vehicles drove through, some groups dispersed at the sight of the imposing vehicles. In the heart of the city, local police had set up several roadblocks guarded by officers with pistols. The Provincial Assembly had released a statement.
People of Al-Qaman, we cannot allow these violent agitators to destroy our community, go into the streets and restore peace. Long live the Republic! Long live Al-Qaman!
Counter-protestors peacefully waved flags and signs. They marched towards the line of protestors, cheering and waving flags.
The Riot Police now used tasers and pepper spray more then rubber bullets. Subduing rather then injuring. The Riot Police Commanders shouted on megaphones "DISPERSE! DISPERSE!" Public transportation had completely stopped, and police prioritized the defense of schools and hospitals.

Al-Qaman, location of protests

Aziz's trap had worked. As soon as - among nation wide calls to the people against the "police brutality" his trap was sprung. From the buildings at the police's flanks ran a horde of local football hooligans, carrying various sorts of ordinance - machetes, axes, baseball bats. They quickly cut off the police's way of retreat. At the same time, a horde of armed jihadists ran out from the student's crowd, revealing high rate of fire SMGs. Round after round fallen at the unprepared policemen, as the horde around them proceeded to slice them with their weapons. At the same time, wave of DDOS attacks would fall on key infrastructure. Banks were going to get DDoSed alongside with meda.

The Local Police and Riot Police under attack by the hooligans with SMGs responded with gunshots and seeking cover in a circle formation, but they did not lost long. Support was called to the area. Soon, a group of armed police who fired live bullets into the crowd of armed men. Other riot police officers rushed in firing tear gas.

Al-Qaman
a jihadist with a keetle of boiling tar on the roof, tossed the keetle at police, jihadists on the roof and the ground remained in contact with other jihadists via communications equipment supplied by Bashriyya, the commanders of the Salafist riots were in the rural areas working alongside the business suit wearing professional collage educated Salafist leaders of the Islamic Social Movement who advocated Gene Sharps more "peaceful methods" to destabilize a nation.

Agitators had organized a students strikes across Al-Qaman, radicalized students took over class rooms and buildings, and even tore down and burned the Hatayan flag, replacing it with a Salafist flag.

Salafists blocked urban communication centers and layed waste to the equipment, they destroyed phone-lines and electrical towers using C4 explosives and Semtex sold to them by the Bashriyyans. Another more radical approach occurring was that many of the protestors were trying to hurt the local economy, they exchanged all Hatayan Francs for Bashriyyan Dinars.

The RAP perimeter closed more and more around the city, the armored cars were not so easy to be destroyed. While the local police struggled and died, the Armed Police started to enter the heart of the city. Finding mobs of armed men and gunning them down with either rubber bullets or live bullets, pepper spray was also utilized. At the university where radical students had taken over. Several M2 Bradelys had surrounded the school and Armed Police began to infiltrate it with rubber bullets in their stocks.

The protesters caused chaos where they controlled, but the perimeter was closing in, M2 Bradley's now reinforcing them.

As Hatay police fired back on the crowd, many of the protestors were killed, one man had his hand blown off by a police bullet, at least 53 protestors were wounded and 30 killed by Hatayan police after they fired into the crowd. The Jihadists were now prepared to exploit this for propaganda reasons.

Bodies of dead policemen with numerous SMG bullet holes were photographed by independent journalists. These protesters were not peaceful whatsoever.
At the University, the RAP moved in, they had surrounded the building and had secured numerous places in the University.
In the streets the Local Police had withdrawn, and the ISF and RAP moved like a Boa Constrictor, pushing in with armored vehicles. Now M60 Patton tanks moved in, backed by RAP infantry. Counter-protestors marched towards the line of Salafists, cheering and waving flags.

The Salafists began to amass in crowds blocking more roads to disrupt traffic specifically the military traffic trying trying to counter the jihadists, the protesters called the military "Kuffar" and "Traitors" as they chanted nasheeds. At the same time small units of foreign Jihadists armed with RPG-7s and AKMs would ambush military units that were arriving into the city from the roof tops.

The mobs could not stop the breakthrough of heavy armored vehicles, but bullets could try. The RAP countered now, with only live ammunition. Tossing flash grenades and firing tear gas to gas out hiding terrorists, the perimeter moved slower, but the Salafists were being choked to death. Now the University was falling, the black flag was taken off as the armed students were subdued via pepper spray. The counter-protestors secured areas only occupied by what peaceful Salafists their were. Massive crowds of Al-Qaman citizens threatened by these fearsome mobs marched on the Salafist militiamen, waving flags and chanting. The Anti-Terrorist forces moved in on all sides. Apache Helicopters circled the sky, occasionally strafing men on rooftops hiding from the RAP.

Al-Qaman

Jihadists were targeting oil pipelines this time, a HMS-15 Armbrust 155 mm Heavy Mortar was used to fire a HMS-155-HE: High Explosive shell, the oil pipeline was hit and exploded. In the other areas, MILAN anti-tank missiles would fired at the M60 Patton tanks of the Hatayan armed forces, the MILANs were some of the many weapons coming in from Bashriyya.

The mortar blast on the pipeline outside the city alerted two F-15Es circling above the city. They turned downwards and fired off their miniguns upon the mortar, firing AGM-65 Maverick rockets down to the position, swift destruction.
Inside the city, counter-protestors and RAP/ISF forces made quicker headway, advancing with heavy equipment and the RAP used tear gas to remove fighters from buildings, then they tasered them and arrested them. The Armoured vehicles drove in, firing machine guns into the crowds of armed men. The armored vehicles exploded in some cases, but Apache helicopters could address that.

Secured areas of the city began to piece together their homes, civilians emerged from hiding and began to clean their homes and Medical workers began to enter the secured areas and help people. Infirmaries were set up and hospitals began to admit hundreds, the healing process began already.

Worried by the apparent instability in their neighbour and fearing that the radicalised Islam would spread into Al Ashabiyah, an emergency session of the State Council was called by Ashabiyan President Mukhtaar Malek. The Republican Guard were placed on alert. President Malek made a speech to the nation. "My great compatriots. I know that all of you stand with our eternal brothers Hatay. So too I hope you know of the struggle that they face. As ibadi Muslims, we are not involved in the same conflicts that the Sunni and Shia face. But we too have some Wahhabi, and we know that their beliefs are not fitting with the unity of this great nation. We must help our allies. They were there for us in Ghadames, and hundreds of battles in our civil war. Now we shall help them. But we must also protect ourselves. A curfew has been put been put in place after ten. This is a temporary measure. Our Republican Guard and Gendarmerie are mobilised. We shall stand together."

The Salafis had the plan to continue with strikes, strikes were to continue across various areas of Al-Qaman, strikes were being used to disrupt basic institutions, hospitals, armed jihadists were being secretly tasked with trying to hurt the rebuilding process to try and disrupt the infrastructure further.

They refused to come to work.

Casualties:
Jihadists: 51
"Peaceful" Salafi Protestors: 41

The perimeter had closed in completely but now scattered jihadist forces roamed. RAP units and ISF units patrolled everywhere with tanks, less then before as some had been destroyed by the rockets and they searched for jihadist. Shooting on sight if armed, pepper spraying if not armed. A emergency infirmary had been disrupted by a grenade, and a boy's school hit by a spray of bullets. Units of the Republican Guard set up roadblocks at every exit and entrance to the city. The riot was over, but nerves were still very high.

Local Police: 59
ISF: 32
RAP: 43
Tanks: 3

Civilian Protestors: 17
