Protests in Lonograd (IC, Semi-OPEN)

by **Hatay** » Thu Aug 03, 2017 5:38 pm

Streets of Damascus

Thousands of protestors marched in the streets, some flags used by anti-government Free Lonograd joined a sea of banners denouncing "jihadist terror" along with "Shi'a extremism" and "Aladeen Authoritarianism." The protest march was organized by the Lonogradi Civil Liberties Organization, the Hatayan-Lonogradi Association, and the Torchlight Alliance, several groups committed to a more free, just, and fair society. For too long the Aladeen family regime had ruled as tyrants over Lonograd, squashing opposition, and extrajudicial killings had become commonplace. People were tired of the family regime, they wanted real democracy, and they wanted economic hardship to be fixed, civil liberties restored, and an end to the support of Shi'a extremism in Iraq. Chants echoed through the streets, "Out of Iraq! Out of Iraq! Out of Iraq! Out of Iraq!" as well as "No More Aladeens! No more Family Regimes!" and "Democracy and Liberty! Democracy and Liberty!" Protestors sang patriotic songs not affiliated with the regime, and pictures of Nasheed were stepped on the ground, and he was denounced in chants along with Aladeen. The protestors were completely peaceful, and the police that were standing by were not harassed or attacked. The protestors stuck to the assigned and permitted route in peace. Shi'as, Sunnis, Alawites, Christians, Jews, and Druze all marched together. Some wore western clothes and some wore Thawbs. For freedom, for pluralism, for democracy. A speaker spoke from a stage for the Torchlight Alliance, he wore a formal western shirt which he tucked the sleeves up and spoke to the microphone which broadcasted on speakers throughout the streets.
"I think the people of Lonograd have had enough of this government's hypocrisy and lies! Daily we here this government denounce religious extremism, and rightly so. But then they fund Shi'a extremists in Iraq! Where does this government stand! We demand accountability in government! We demand our government stop funding Shi'a extremists in Iraq! It seems they only oppose religious extremism when it benefits them! Enough of global power playing and secrecy! We demand our government address problems at home! Our civil liberties stolen, even now militarized police watch us with live bullets at the ready! We demand economic hardship be addressed! We demand our government be accountable to people! We demand the end of family regimes! We want real democracy and we want it know!" This was Habibullah Naseer, 35 years old, born in a poor village in rural Lonograd, now leading a protest in the big city. "My family grew up in a small rural town, we had no access to running water, and we often had to use candles for light when the few lightbulbs often went out. So many Lonogradi people face this issue today. And our government is focusing on Iraq, funding Shi'a extremists and failing to fix our economic hardships, this must be fixed! We have no freedom of press, our newspapers are censored and the government makes sure that the entire media is broadcasting Baathist propaganda! But we are the change, we are the alternative! Let's be the change! Let's change Lonograd!" Numerous other speakers came onto the podium, each repeating that message. Cries of "Down with the Personality Cult!" began to spread, and pictures of Aladeen were thrown to the ground alongside Nasheed. Over 50,000 Marchers proceeded down to the Parliament building. People raised cardboard torches in the air, signifying liberty. "No more Family Regime!" and "Out of Iraq!" and "Fair Elections now!" as well as "Restore our Civil Liberties!" rolled through the streets, every deputy in the parliament could hear it, and every staffer, and every aide could hear it. It could not be ignored.

OOC: Lonograd sent for me

A secret meeting, somewhere in Paris

James Redshield spoke before the confused audience "Gentlemen the time has come to knock Lonograd out of the way." an evil grin appeared on his face. "Hordes of useful idiots have taken to the streets, they know not what comes next."

Lord Kiel Lorenzo smiled "Your brilliance James is your greatest strength, I suggest that we secure the gas reserve in the Golan Heights, we could pay local rebels $5,000 every month to guard gas reserves."

James said "I agree, but first to do that, we need to start a civil-war, we need a rebel force, we can recruit exiles and Islamists, and various mercenaries for this job."

A man who appeared to be a General in full military regalia got up and began to speak "Lonograd has a well developed chemical weapons program that has been ongoing since the 1970s. They have not signed the CWC program because they know if they give up their WMDs they will have no deterrent against Israel their main enemy in the region. They have munitions available for chemical warfare and these include SCUD missile warheads and well as a large stockpile of aerial bombs. This makes them ripe for a false flag attack that we could use to get the media and the brainwashed masses to cry for a humanitarian intervention!"

Redshield laughed "Once we overthrow Aladeen through war and terrorism, we will have Lonograd in debt to use forever. We will have a new testing ground for genetic modification and we will have a plenty of oil and gas reserves."

they all began to laugh manically.

IC
Aleppo
The smell of black-poweder and gasoline was reek in the air of an Aleppo basement, if one were to walk in they would see masked men assembling various bombs and molotov cocktails "Come on Abdul, today is the day we show our gift to the apostates in Lonograd." said Ahmed he smiled they had produced much to wage jihad. They kept contact with other Islamists through advanced communications equipment supplied by various NGOs, they were well coordinated.

It would start with groups of Islamist protestors mixing themselves among the largely secular anti-Aladeen reform opposition, using anarchist style Black Bloc tactics they would punch and do harm to the other anti-Aladeen protestors calling them "kuffir" and "apostates". Eventually things would get more violent Islamists would show up with molotov cocktails filled with napalm and magnesium alongside pipe-bombs to hurl at the police. Mysterious snipers then would show up and begin firing on both the protestors and the police, creating confusion and panic.

Bombs were being mailed across the country to citizens of the ruling Alawite faith, meanwhile another plan was also in play. Nimr sub-machine guns were being smuggled to the banned Muslim Brotherhood and other violent opposition groups. These weapons would find themselves turning up at protests among Islamist agitators using them to shoot at police.

Darra, Lonograd

In the city of Darra, Islamists had begun a full insurrection, barricades were set up using furniture, they began to use the local population as human shields, holding them hostage in their homes. Islamists had been supplied with plenty of weapons from the West including the FN-FAL and Heckler & Koch G3. Roads would be boobytrapped with IEDs and bombs, including Redshield supplied M23 Chemical mines filled with VX nerve agent.

Damascus

The Pro Hatayan protesters near the Lonogradian Parliament were met by sixty thousand counter protesters who chanted "Allah, Lonograd, Bashir w bes!" They waved Lonogradian and Ba'athist flags while also carrying pictures of Bashir Aladeen and started to burn Hatayan, Kurdish, and Bashriyyan flags as well as burning and stepping on pictures of Golofad and Nashid. Meanwhile in the Lonogradian Parliament, everyone ranging from deputies to staffers were told to remain calm and stay inside while the situation was to be put under control, multiple parties were at the Parliament, members of Ba'ath Party, Lonogradian Communist Party (Bakdash), Lonogradian Communist Party (Unified) Arab Socialist Union, Lonogradian Social Nationalist Party, People's Will Party, Socialist Unionists, and National Vow Movement watched from the windows and sighed in relief as extra Police Officers were deployed near Parliament to keep the protesters from advancing further and trying to stop violence coming to them. Meanwhile one of leaders of counter-protesters and also a prominent Ba'ath Party Member named Fadid Nasal walked onto a platform, spoke to a microphone which would be broadcasted on speakers, especially to the Pro Hatayan Protesters and said, "To those who have come here today and are on the opposite side right now, I speak to you oh hypocrites! You dare accuse the Lonogradian government of arming Shia extremists, which is not true as the Arab Liberation Front is a multi religious organisation which is full of Sunnis, Shiites, Alawites, and Christians, but your pay master Ali Golofad is publicly funding and arming Kurdish terrorists who are Far right nationalists and are committing ethnic cleansing against Arabs and other ethnic groups in the areas they control. You also don't know about the great reforms that the immortal leader Hafez Aladeen has brought to this country, I say you are traitors, you are traitors to Lonograd, you are traitors to Palestine, and you are traitors to the Arab Nation. Why you may ask? Because not only are you puppets of Golofad who is in turn a puppet of Israel, but that you wish to sell our Nation out to the west! You wish for us to loose our independence and be a colony of France, and let American and British Companies take our precious Oil, well we say No! We the Lonogradian people reject your Zionist Western form of democracy for we love our President, Allah, Lonograd, Bashir W Bes!" The crowd then went into applause and cheer before they gave the Roman Salute as the Lonogradian and Ba'ath Party anthem are played.

Aleppo

Riot Police were quickly dispatched to the city as well one thousand Lonogradian Arab Army soldiers to try to get the situation under control, marital Law was declared in the City and in response to protesters throwing Molotov cocktails, police fired rubber bullets and tear gas at the Islamists however when twelve Police Officers died from being shot at, they fell back and let the army take control of the situation, the first thing they did was set up roadblocks where the protests were taking place, second thing they did was to get on loud speakers saying, Martial Law is now in effect, repeat Marital Law is now in effect, return to your homes immediately or you will be fired upon!" The third thing they did was to take cover and return fire on the mysterious snipers and call for reinforcements.

Darra

Five thousand troops were deployed to the city, along with that was thirteen T-72 Tanks as well as forty BMP-1 and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles. Their mission was to clear out the Islamist menace, this of course would not be easy as the terrorists were using innocent civilians as human shields, their first job would be to break down the Barricades which would be fairly easy considering that they had Tanks and armoured vehicles, their second job would then to eliminate all enemy combatants with out causing the death of innocent civilians, they would then do a large scale investigation on where the Islamists got their weapons and funding from.

The Free Tribal Military Alliance

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful, Oh People of the Levant of People of the blessed land of Angles. The doorways of revolution have opened in your land do not miss this opportunity. You are our brothers in both Faith and Blood, we share the same blood and same history. Our lands have been unjustly divided by European powers to humiliate us and divide us. Your government desires to deceive you with ALF claiming they are the breakers of the borders, others seek to deceive you with supposed "Islamic" theology, others will tempt you with arms to fight against justice. But we however desire nothing but goodness for you, and whatever goodness you receive is from God. Join the caravan of goodness, look to our Revolution in Anbar our Revolution of Justice and the Knighthood of Honor we have entered as a result. Your voices aren't silent and we hear them, we have plans awaiting you, soon very soon.

Talyshistani People's Ministry for Foreign Affairs

Talyshistan will stand by the legitimate leadership of Aladeen, we will stand by our comrades in Anti-Imperialism and resistance against foreign invaders like Hatay and SACTO. These protestors are paid actors being influenced by Zionist Wahhabis. They are there to cause violance and instability. Lonograd is in a very fragile state right now and Iraq is full on War Zone and the potential for terrorist organizations to spread across the two nations is very likely and unless these groups are stopped. We will face a wave of terror, barbarism, and backwardness that hinders the Modern development of Region. Iraqi terrorists are supporting this uprising shouldn't this be a Red Flag not to support these actors! Hatay should be ashamed of itself for backing these terrorist sympathizers. Our government has decided to offer Lonograd a hand in cooperation we are awaiting further response.

Sincerely from the People of Talyshistan

OOC:This is Shurjah

by **Shurjah** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 1:50 pm

MUAWIYAH, SHURJAH

In light of the Protests in Lonograd, Emir Ismail the Royal ruler of the country couldn't stand Aladeen or his family because of their rivalry with Saddam Hussein whom the Hasan dynasty of Shurjah was close to, or their Massacres in the 1980's, he also was religiously opposed to their Alawite sect, an Lonograd's support for the ALF in Iraq was another thing to add the list of things Shurjah held against Lonograd. He thought it would be a good idea to make a public speech about the situation to rally people together in Shurjah and hope for the people in Lonograd to take inspiration from from him. He wore his Palestinian scarf to show he was Pro-Arab and Pro-Palestine and he wore a normal suit, dress shirt, and no tie. He entered into the back of an Armored Mercedes G Class that was followed by a Police car and led by a Technical with a Shurjahi soldier manning the Machine Gun in the back. They drove to the convention center in Muawiyah where a room was prepared for the speech with several chairs and a stage set up. He walked onto the stage with the crowd cheering and photos being taken, his supporters waved Shurjahi and Palestinian flags other held portraits of him and yelling chants like Labbaik, Labbaik, Labbaik Ya Allah and Allah Shurjah Ismail w Bas!. He waved at the crowd and smiled in Shurjah he was seen as compassionate hero and someone who stood for justice and what's right.

He began to speak after the crowd settled down,

In the name of Allah , May peace and the blessings and mercy of God be upon all of you, I love all of you as my Brothers and Sisters in Islam but I also love you as a ruler and as my fellow countrymen. This speech is about this very subject there are leaders in this world in our region in fact who rule nations not as fortunate as you. They don't rule their nations with Mercy or with an open mind or with a willingness to be a protector and guide. Rather they rule with intimidation, brutality, and committing criminal acts. This leader I speak of is Bashir Aladeen he is not a Minaret of guidance or freedom, no! He is the guiding light for tyranny and evil. He will never rule Palestine and I vow before God and before all of you we will send an army of men who desire martyrdom before they ever reach the Gates of Jerusalem we will send battalion after battalion to a point where they won't see so much as the glimmer of the Golden Dome. I also vow to my brothers in Lonograd your wails are not being silenced and they are heard I tell you to remain strong and be like the people of Gaza be patient and be unwavering in your demands do not let Aladeen sleep at night, you deserve better and you are a Proud people, may God have mercy upon you.

After the speech he was handed a sword by a Shurjahi soldier and began waving it in the air and as he exited the convention center he put on his expensive Gucci sunglasses and a crowd of his fans emerged around him several hand their phones out taking pictures and filming, as they got outside he asked a guard to hand over his Kalashnikov rifle and he began firing several individual shots in the air while he waved his sword in the other hand and the crowd started cheering more. He gave the gun back then he grabbed the hands of some of the people and they began doing a traditional Arab dance and several others began clapping and singing a song to the tune of an Arab nationalist song but with the lyrics been changed to "We are, we are, the Sons of Shurjah! Ismail is our Emir!" (sounding like this in Arabic: "Nahnu Nahnu Abna Shurjah Ismail al emiruna") and some of the women in the crowd began to make this noise. All in the celebration of Ismail's speech. Ismail then asked another guard for their gun and he fired multiple round in the air and yelled "God is the Greatest! This is our Battle of Yarmouk!" the celebrations, chants, and singing all continued with people yelling "Allahu Akbar!" pointing single fingers in the air and waving flags and portraits and dancing as well as the singing of nationalist and religious songs all while it was being televised by the TV station Al-Maseera.

After the festivities Ismail returned to his palace and he ordered the Foreign Minister to release an Official statement

The State of Shurjah- Foreign Ministry

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful, we support these demands for change. Aladeen's government is unacceptable and criminal no one deserves to suffer under an Authoritarian regime like this one. We send our best wishes and prayers to the opposition that desires Freedom and Preservation of their proud Sunni Arab culture. This is a Sunni Arab country it should not be a Persian puppet. Aladeen says he wants a Pan-Arab nation he says he loves Islam he says he wants freedom for Palestine. But these are unfortunate lies Aladeen is a Persian vassal he follows the religion of the Magians how can a Magian lead the Arab nation? He is of the Ghulat, the extremists of the Rafidha Safawi religion he cannot be a Proud Muslim and neither can his supporters be it Sunni or Shia, and how can we allow someone this vile to dare be allowed to Rule over our beloved Jerusalem?

We congratulate your awakening to Make Lonograd Great Again

Sincerely, Luqman Ibn Yahya Sa'eed Minister of Foreign Affairs

Streets of Damascus

The protestors were not surprised by the large counter-protesting crowd, either they were paid by the Ba'ath Party, or they were under the sway of their propaganda. The crowd was not deterred. The screaming of the loudspeakers from the Parliament was heard. More rubbish about Golofad and loving their Eternal President, necrophiliac personality cult, and family regime.The counter-protestors and their allies in the police made protesting more difficult, but they struck up a new unanimous chant. "Face the Nation! Face the Nation! Face the Nation! Face the Problems!" They continued to wave banners and flags, Habibullah Naseer shouted on his microphone to the crowd of counter-protestors. "We want free democracy! We want fair democracy! This government is spending its money in Iraq, and not in our homeland. Our electricity system is failing, the oil wealth is concentrated in the Party and it's cronies. Our economic system works for the Ba'ath Party cadres, not small business owners in the streets of Latakia! Our Civil Liberties are seized, this protest even now faces police armed with assault weapons, waiting to get the chance to gun the people down! But the Lonogradi people will not be hunted down in their own streets! We demand free and fair elections, enough sham democracy! We want free and fair democracy! Proportional Representation! De-Militarizing our local police forces! Funding new infrastructure! Fair economic systems that work for all, Down with Crony Capitalism! We want a fair market economy! And stop funding Shi'a extremist groups like AIRPA, and start funding a new clean and modern water source for rural villages, new bridges to replace crumbling designs from the Colonial Era and the 1970s! New homes for the homeless! And freedom and civil liberties for all!" The crowd of protestors gave a unified cheer. "You may play your marching music and praise this undemocratic family regime all you like, but these people will not give up!" The crowd cheered again, shouting towards the Parliament building. "Enough Sham Democracy, Fair Elections Now!" The protestors chanted about demilitarizing local police. "Enough military bullying of Peaceful Protestors!" and "We don't want tanks patrolling our villages!" And they turned to the crowd of counter-protestors while not approaching them violently. "What's wrong with free elections!" Shouted one. "We want a fair choice, and reforms! Freedoms!" Shouted another. As posters of both Aladeens faces crossed off, they chanted. "We don't revere state idols!" and "Enough Aladeens, no more family regimes!" shouting for democracy, peace, prosperity, and freedom, they protested into the night, with some peacefully going home after sunset. Protesting all the way to their doorstep, or to the vans taking them back to surrounding villages, and walking an old relative home, or walking all the way back to a far-off farm. 12,000 Protestors however, continued through the night, and into the morning, when the protestors would come out in full again.

Damascus

At an office building in Damascus, several senior leaders along with junior leaders of the protest marches and the organizations that planned it sat in a conference room. With one using a projector to show information on a screen. They discussed making a unified, true opposition party, and calling for immediate parliamentary and presidential elections. Protests could go on, but they needed a united political group to make change happen. They had looked over data, protest numbers, they shook their heads in disgust at Islamist mobs. They believed they could make a difference, they poured over data and information, reading accounts of government brutality against protestors in the past, and looked at anything available to them. They discussed the naming of a political party.
"National Opposition Council." suggested one man. "We are firm opposition to the existing political establishment, and domination of the Ba'ath Party."
"But what if we win?" Asked another. "Extremely unlikely as it is, we couldn't keep that name." One man, Mustafa Naid, who was on the streets the day before, cheering and chanting. Suggested something else.
"Our party name should be what we believe in. What do we believe, Freedom and Democracy? Prosperity and Protest, Promise and Hope? Fairness and Justice? So many names can come off of that. Free Democracy, Democracy and Justice, Prosperous Democracy? These are fine names."
The others nodded.
"We're very much about hope, and a new choice. These are also ideas." Pointed out somebody else. They continued to discuss, while protests continue outside.

Damascus

The counter protesters simply ignored the ramblings of the pro Hatayan speaker who was clearly being paid to tell lies about Lonograd, Bashir Aladeen and the Ba'ath Party by the Liberal Golofad regime, they chanted "Allah, Lonograd, Bashir W bes!" and "Ya Bashir!" also "the Ba'ath Party is the party of Unity!" They then came up with a new chant, they shouted at the Pro Hatayan protesters, "go back to Hatay, go back to Hatay you tools of Zionism!", and also "oh traitors we reject you from our homeland!" This carried on for several minutes as some of the counter protesters started to wave Hezbollah, Arab Liberation Front, and Arab Islamic Revolutionary People's Army flags, and many more of them started to carry portraits of Hassan Nasrallah, Hafez Aladeen, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Bashir Aladeen, Michel Aflaq, Salah al-Din al-Bitar, Zaki al-Arsuzi, Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, and the leader of AIPRA Ali Hussein Ahmed, then another pro-government speaker walked onto the podium, her name Rakia Mahfouz, a twenty two Sunni Muslim who was born Homs however she grew up in Damascus and worked as a waitress in a Coffee Shop which was only a bloc away from her apartment and was nearby the Parliament, she then began to speak, "I am so glad that so many people came to support our glorious president and our wonderful Ba'ath Party, and I say to those traitors on the opposite side, why must you spread so many lies? We already are a democracy! We have Presidential elections every seven years and Parliamentary elections every four years, we are a true democracy and a western backed Zionist one like Hatay which you want to impose on the Lonogradian Nation and its people. The Oil wealth is equally redistributed among the population and not just for the Ba'ath Party like you falsely claim. The Lonogradian government does not fund or arm Shia groups like AIRPA, instead it sends funds to help rebuild Iraqi infrastructure which your paymaster Ali Golofad has destroyed by indiscriminately bombing innocent civilians in Basra! And you clearly don't about the great work the Ba'ath Party has done to this country, wow they shortened the work hours from 18 hours a day to 8 hours a day, how they raised the minimum wage from 3.20 Lonogradian pounds an hour to 7.50 Lonogradian pounds an hour, they have also introduced free Healthcare, free education, and have massively secularised this nation, you are nothing but paid opposition by the West and are pawns of Israel. The crowd then went wild in cheers and applause and as the counter protesters approached, they shouted stuff back, "Long live the Arab Nation! Shouted one. "Down with your false democracy!" Shouted another. They held up portraits of the various Arab Nationalists listed before as well as Bashir and Hafez Aladeen as waved the Ba'ath Party Flag while also chanting "we love our heroic leaders and the great Ba'ath Party."

Lonogradian Parliament

At the Parliament, while some still feared for their lives, most people there were now by this time becoming to be bored, most went on their phones to complain on Social Network accounts like Setsuzoku, others ate their lunches and sat by themselves, some got into heated debates with members of other political parties, some took selfies with the two massive crowds in the background and posted the pictures on their Social Media sites, and the rest either try to find a way out, went on the phone to their loved ones or just started chatting to each other about everyday life and the newest gossip they've heard.
"You know I heard that Bashir Aladeen's wife, Asma, is cheating on him with someone else." Said Abu Rafiz, a member of the LSNP.
"Really? Asked Aaliyah Asadi, a member of the People's will Party
"Yeah and that's the reason why she hasn't been seen in public recently." Rafiz replied.
"Of course it all makes sense now". Aaliyah said in realisation.
The two then talked on about how the affair would last and who it was with and when or if Aladeen found out what his reaction would be, they then went on about how stupid monarchism is and how Redshield might actually be a shape shifting Lizard from outer space and how the New World order are trying to put chemicals in the water to turn the Frogs gay.

Damascus

It was Arabs, Assyrians, and Kurds all protesting the vile Aladeen regime. For too long, Assyrians and Kurds had been decried as "racists" and "ethnic nationalists." When none of this was true, many of the Kurds were Lonogradi Patriots and not Kurdish Nationalists, but still despised the undemocratic, oppressive, family regime. Now 60,000 protestors took to the streets.
As these protestors marched for democracy and freedom, a new political group was being formed. For Democratic and Peaceful resistance to Aladeen's tyranny. "Out of Iraq!" and "Respect our Culture and Rights!" They chanted. "New Economic Plan!" and by far the most popular chant. "No more Aladeens, no more family regimes!"

Damascus Records Office

Two men in suits carrying suitcases entered a Damascus government office for record keeping. They told the records official. "We'd like to enter the creation of a new political party for the record, the Coalition for Democracy and Reform. Or CFDAR. We have a recorded membership of over 100,000."

Damascus

At the head of the protests, a podium had been set up, and several speakers were readying to speak. They spoke to the crowd, speakers reverberating the speech around the streets.
"We have formed a new political party for democratic opposition to the vicious regime of Bashir Aladeen, his corrupt family regime, and the money he spends in Iraq, rather then at home." The crowd cheered happily. "The Coalition for Democracy and Reform will stand up to this undemocratic government, we will fight for the people of Lonograd, and for a new Lonograd, and for democratic change!" The crowd cheered and clapped. "We demand new democratic elections for Parliament and Presidency! This is not a right-wing or left-wing party, it is a force for reform, for secularism, for change, and for democracy!"

Redshield was sitting down a large red throne like chair smoking a cigarette, to him this was just another Friday however it was also his way of cleansing the world of the original sin and leading man on the path to infinite progress. In his mind this was the merging of the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the path to immortality but to achieve this eugenic endgame humanity had to first experience a global cataclysm. The borders had to be broken through a Third World War, SACTO and the Soviet Union would have to mutually destroy each other while the global bodies would take over from the chaos caused by the Third World War.

Redshield got up from his seat, putting the finished cigarette in an ash tray, time could not be wasted as human progress was at stake, the mass of germs known as humanity had to be made one and war would be the only way to accomplish this goal.

In the event that the Director, the Pro-SACTO bigot Jeremy Blakeford found out he would be eliminated by a trained I and G PMC team that was keeping him under surveillance, the Soviets HERALD knew sitting in his SUV reading MBC articles about the Protests when terrorism struck would be getting involved.

Damascus

The counter protesters were not shocked that Kurds were among those protesting against the Lonogradian government, for decades the Kurds had caused problems in Lonograd. With them claiming that original Arab Land was part of their so called "Kurdistan", none of this was true of course, the Kurds had originally come from a North-West Region of Iran and simply wandered into the countries of Iraq, Turkey, and Lonograd for "Kurd" simply means Iranian nomad. The counter protesters chanted "oh Kurds you do not belong here!" and "go back to Iran for this is Arab Land! However the most common and popular chant was "Allah, Lonograd, Bahsir W Bes!"

Damascus Records Office

The records Official replied by saying, "alright, your new political party will be entered for the record". Although she supported the protests against the Aladeen government she herself did not attend because she didn't want the Lonogradian Secret Police known as the Mukhabarat to take her in for "questioning" and didn't want to loose her job which she desperately needed.

Lonogradian Communist Party (Bakdash) Headquarters

The Party Chairman Wisal Farha Bakdash who has the widow of the deceased founder of the party Khalid Bakdash spoke, "comrades." She said in her calm and quiet voice. "Today we must make a choice, we either march with the Pro Hatay protesters or the counter protesters supporting the Ba'athist government, I suggest that we join with our Arab Nationalist Comrades supporting Aladeen, for the Pro Hatayan protesters are known anti communists who want to force liberal style capitalism on our great nation, that's why we must march against them and their puppet master Ali Golofad, any objections?" No one in the party objected for they all agreed that the protesters must be stopped.

Presidential Palace

President Bashir Aladeen had ordered an emergency meeting with all of his top advisors to discuss how to handle the recent protests and to make sure it doesn't escalate into a full blown civil war which could lead to his ouster.
"We should just have the Army mow them down." Said one adviser.
"Just have the police arrest them". Said another.
"look these people have legitimate demands, I'm sure if we have a meeting with leaders of the protesters then we can discuss the issues and find common ground." Suggested the President's newest and youngest adviser Omar Ahmed aged at just 24.
President Bashir Aladeen agreed with him saying, "yes organise a meeting with the leaders of this movement, I will attend myself and make sure they are searched for any weapons and have it done in secret, we can't let anyone know about this". The meeting was then over while Mahfouz was personally instructed to organise the meeting Aladeen and leaders of the Opposition.

OOC: Post has been authorised by Lonograd

Streets of Damascus
On the far side of the major square, a crowd of approximately two hundred protesters had gathered, adding their voice to that of the anti-government protesters. On close inspection, many appeared to be waving red banners and flags, as well as icons of Leon Trotsky.

The small Trotskyist organisation "The People's Union" had taken it upon themselves to march against the dictator Aladeen. Shouting slogans of "All power to the People", "Give us bread" and 'End the war', referring to Aladeen's continued involvement of Lonograd in the ongoing Iraqi civil war. The People's Union had taken it upon themselves to declare themselves against both the Baath Party government and the larger Marxist-Leninist Party in the country, who were likely to come out in the government's favour...

For now, the growing Trotskyist movement was throwing it's support behind the anti-government protests in order to leverage existing discontent against the regime.

Prime Minister Mikhail Yousha

Because of the events unfolding in Lonograd Guatelteca immediately felt solidarity with the government as similar Anti-Government protests have been occurring in its own country. Mikhail Yousha is an Iraqi-Christian who came to Guatelteca and rose to prominence with his revolutionary views and rose through the ranks of the party and is now the Prime Minister below the President. There was a party session called over the Protests in Guatelteca which are similar to the protests in Lonograd and Yousha mentioned Lonograd in his speech.

"Lonograd is a center point of resistance, resistance in the Arab world against Imperialism, Zionism, and Neo-Kharijite Wahhabis. We struggle with Imperialist anti-Progress terrorists who are paid by foreign powers to disrupt and cause instability in Guatelteca and it's no surprise that Lonograd is also a target of these aggressors. These dogs know no limits in their viciousness and their evil Global Imperial agenda, But I will say this Imperialism and the international Destabilization ends today! Freedom for Palestine! God bless Bashir Aladeen"

Damascus

Slightly more isolated from Damascus, but within city limits, one of Aladeen's homes, was where four emissaries of the CFDAR drove discreetly from the outside areas of the city to the palace. Getting to the security perimeter, they showed the invitation to the meeting and were ready to submit to any security screenings, as they just had pens and papers and other non-threatening items. They got through the perimeter, exited the shabby-looking Toyotas and entered the palace doors and prepared to meet Aladeen.

Damascus

Within the heart of the city, 60,000 CFDAR protestors once again took to the streets. Cheering and chanting like before, for reforms, ending the war, and for democracy. However, it was not Baathist protestors who countered them. Trotskyists. They had common cause in removing the tyrant Aladeen, but not much else. There was no direct conflict, but a few people shouted at the Trotskyists. "Do you know Trotsky had thousands murdered?!" shouted one furious protestor.

Islamist Protestors in Dier Az Zour

Just a day after Iraq's Free Tribal Military Alliance declared itself the Islamic Emirate of Anbar under the orders of the Emir of the group. Hundreds of Islamist protestors came out in support of this move from the organization formerly known as FTMA. FTMA established a branch in Lonograd during the fighting along the border of Iraq to act as the group's flag holder and representative in the nation, the group was even able to carryout a bombing in Dier Az Zour where the Pro-FTMA demonstrations are occurring which also has influence from covert Jund Al-Aqsa/FTMA members. During the protests black flags were being flown along with the Green-White-Red-Black rebellion flags and shouts of phrases like ALLAHU AKBAR and SHARIAH IS OUR FREEDOM and others about bringing down Aladeen.

Leading the Protests was an Imam with alleged links to FTMA and his father though born in Lonograd spent years in Iraq and graduated from Baghdad University with a degree in Islamic Sciences and his son Abdul Kareem followed in his father's footsteps studying Islam in Qatar at a Mosque in Doha. He also spent a few years in Shurjah but eventually returned to Lonograd to raise awareness in his country about Aladeen and the government he delivered a sermon to the protestors.

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful, Peace be upon the Messengers and their Families and their Companions, Peace and blessings and the mercy of God upon you, this deceleration of Islamic rule in Iraq is historical and will begin a new era where we are no longer subjugated and oppressed, rather the subjugators and oppressors will be subjugated and oppressed! Aladeen, Hatay, and Israel want to tell us how to follow our religion they want to tell us how to live, who do they think they are? This is a level of arrogance that has not been seen since the times of the Pharaoh of Egypt, and I have news for Aladeen the Pharaoh of our time for every Pharaoh there is Moses! Our brothers in Iraq from the FTMA, to JAI, to AIAI, and every other Sunni in Iraq they have our solidarity and our brothers in Jund Al-Aqsa who represent the Islamic Emirate of Anbar in our land have our welcome! We are the few we are the strangers, we will erect our flags in Damascus and Jerusalem and Baghdad not Aladeen! We do not mean to alienate our brothers in the Free Lonograd movement rather we extend our arms to you we extend our arms to the Kurds and even the Christian Assyrians, if you truly support Democracy let us have our voice and join with us and promise bright tomorrow, Thank you and May God bless you.

Damascus

The four emissaries of the CFDAR would be searched for weapons and other illegal contraband and would go through metal detectors before meeting President Aladeen. While walking through the hallways of the house the emissaries would notice portraits of Multiple Arab Nationalist leaders, Ba'athist heroes, family pictures and portraits portraying Bashir Aladeen as a god like figure, after walking through two hallways the emissaries would be greeted by double doors which would lead to a room with a square table in the centre of the room and four chairs for the emissaries. On the opposite side of the table would be President Aladeen, also in the room would be ten bodyguards, each armed with an AK-12 Assault Rifle and a Makarov Semi-automatic pistol, two would be at the doors, another two would be at President Bashir Aladeen's side, and two would be at the side of the emissaries, and the other four bodyguards would be speared out across the room.

Deir ez-Zor

In response to Islamist protesters who were Cleary paid and sent by the governments of Shurjah, Bashriyya and Israel, the Lonogradian Christian Orthodox Church had organised a massive counter rally to oppose the Islamists, they waved Lonogradian and Christian flags while carrying portraits of President Bashir Aladeen and Jesus Christ, they shouted "Islamist scum off our streets!"

Deir ez-Zor

Announcement of the The Free Saladin Movement

A large group of men had gathered in the streets of Deir ez-Zor, the flag they carried was noticeable and these men were proud Arab nationalists mainly devout Sunni Muslims and some Christians among them, and even a few Muslim Kurds among them. They chanted "Aladeen is a jew!" as they marched through the streets. They carried with them portraits of Hitler, Saladin, Saddam Hussain with a few men pretending to be Shi'ites carrying portraits of Ali.

One man claiming to be from the Maronite church began to speak "Aladeen murdered Christians in Lebanon, yet you compromising traitors from the Lonogradian Christian Orthodox Church lionize this man, we are not Islamists we are patriots!" they continued to march toward the center of town toward the Pro-Aladeen counter protestors giving roman salutes and chanting "Aladeen is a jew, Aladeen is a jew, Aladeen is a jew!"

Dier Az Zor

Anti-Government Christians

While many Christians came out in support of Aladeen or even Hatay feeling pressured between Aladeen's government, Hatay's liberalism, and Islamists a few came out demanding for Aladeen to step down and the Government to be reformed into a Right-Wing Oligarchy. They chanted loudly JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US! while several others held photos of a Star of David over Aladeen's head, the protestors waved the rebellion flag, some independent journalists went out to these protestors asking them what they wanted aside from Aladeen's removal they asked their opinions on certain matters, some replies were We are tired of this Alawite, Shia, Communist autocracy we have no representation or rights as Christians but you go to Damascus the Druze the Shias and the Alawites control everything. In Lebanon their forces will harass and terrorize Christians, this may be some rhetoric from extremists but I honestly see a connection between the Alawites and Jews. I know Alawites hate us... One person said another said My family is from Lebanon and the bastards from Aladeen's forces committed the worst crimes possible, I don't hate Alawites, Shias, Muslims whatever you identify as, but I do hate Aladeen he needs to go... Another man said

As the protests continued flags of Israel, Lonograd, and the Soviet union were burned as were pictures of Aladeen and Hassan Nasrallah. The Green rebellion flags were flown as were Palestinian, Shurjahi, Iraqi, and Bashriyyan and portraits of Adib Shishkali, Tariq Aziz and Saddam Hussein were paraded.

WE WANT ONE NATION FOR ONE PEOPLE! was the common chant and most loudly heard

The footage from the independent journalist was given to Shurjah's Al-Maseera

Mcnernian Embassy
Damascus
The Ambassador

Calvin FitzMichael leaned back in the well appointed chair, he had been inclined to meet with the President about the protests but the flash traffic that had been sent from the SIS HQ to the chief, the issue was the fact that the protests had to be supported. Useful idiots, was what the station chief had called them. He was no stranger to this sort of thing, he had the balls to pull off this kind of crap as Ambassador and still be smiling if it was an Emir of a Gulf Petty state or it was the President of Lonograd he just had to smile for the cameras and make the decision that the King would make in the issue. The Ambassador had a lot of experience playing the fool when the local government came a knocking what with the need for explanations.

“So your saying colonel you’ve moved 56 operatives to Jordan and you also have armaments with them?”

“We of the SIS sir, not the station here.”

“I know Colonel.” The Ambassador shot a glare at the man, looking at him somewhat disapprovingly. He was a diplomat who was quite inclined to play with the spooks but sometimes the game was going a bit too far and causing all manner of trouble for the members of HM Foreign Service. So the Colonel placed a file on the table, the Embassy café was empty and the protests, FitzMichael did not care about the problem of the protests. Mcnernia would take the issue to the next level and the issue was not really about what the Hatayan supporters were doing. Its what could be done, the issue was that the insurgency was going to escalate. There was already a bunch of jihadists running amok. Looking through the file FitzMichael was suitably impressed.

“This appears to be very old, 1990s at least?”

“Yes, with the Soviets in disarry we had plans in place for a long time.” The colonel smiled. FitzMichael knew that there had always been suitable proxies in the nation. So what if they were Anti-Israel, they did not like the Shia who supported the Hezbollah, the Israelis were inclined to see anyone that would stand up to the Iranian issue, the Mcnernians had not forgotten the fact that Reza Palahavi was a good man who was a spiritual mentor to the King.

“I can authorize the plan, get the Advisors out of Turkey ASAP, RAF should be good for that, and do be quiet about this, the Lonogradis are angry and they wont be angry for much longer if we play this game properly. We will take down this damned red regime, the bastards will be begging for mercy and the issue will be solved. Once and for all the Soviets will be back behind the border and out of the way.”
