Statement on the formation of the
Peoples' Liberation United Front

We, the leadership of the following liberation forces :
- Papuran People's Liberation Front (Based in eastern Kedren)
- Senkep Liberation Force (Based in Senkep)
- Balantanese United Force (Based in Balantan)
- Basinese National Liberation Army (Based in Basi)

Formed the ''Peoples' Liberation United Front'' umbrella group in order to coordinate attacks and sabotages against the authorities of the Federation of Pohnei in order to achieve our individual goals within a mutual assistance framework.

Our common goals are to end the imperialistic subjugation of the peoples of Pohnei by the international bourgeoisie and the local Bavanese bourgeoisie.

Creating a more equal, democratic and green society for all women and men.

Unifying all the Oranitera people within a federal system and ensuring the right to self-determination to the originalist indigenous people.

After the official declaration of the agreement an attack on the Military Port of Senkep where many of the actions towards the Ankedo Islands start, was attacked by the Senkep Liberation Force but the Pohneian military was vigilant and lost only 6 navy members and 3 army members to 20 insurgents of the SLF who perished.

Federal Republic of Nacrad
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Public Statement on the Escalation of Conflict in the Strait of Kergstan, Extraction of SEATO nationals, et al.
23/6/2020

The Federal Republic of Nacrad, believing that the Socialist Republic of Kergstan has behaved in good faith by allowing and assisting nationals of SEATO to be extracted from Kergstan, thanks the Socialist Republic of Kergstan wholeheartedly. The flight that departed at 20:00 local time yesterday (22 June 2020) had arrived at Riverfort Northfield International Airport safely at 04:30 Nacrad Standard Time today (23 June). The remaining flights are to be carried out as announced with no changes.

However, we were notified that a new insurgent organisation, the People's Liberation United Front (PLUF), had formed in the provinces of Kedren, Sankep, Balantan and Basi of Pohnei. Furthermore, we were notified that the Sankep Liberation Force, a component of PLUF, had attacked the Military Port of Sankep, injuring 6 members of the Pohneian Armed Forces. The Federal Republic of Nacrad severely condemn this attack, and we call for the standing down of violence on all involved sides.

As a result of these attacks, the Federal Republic of Nacrad shall issue the Black Travel Warning on Sankep, along with the Red Travel Warning on Kedren, Balantan and Basi, and the Yellow Travel Warning on the rest of Pohnei. This means that members of the public should avoid all travel to Sankep, that of unnecessary travel to Kedren, Balatan and Basi, and exercise elevated caution when visiting the rest of Pohnei. Nacradian nationals currently in the provinces under effect of the Black and Red Travel Warnings should immediately retreat to safe places via commercial means.

The Federal Republic once again wishes that the dispute can be quickly and peacefully resolved.

CONFIDENTIAL -- ONLY TO BE VIEWED BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL

Your Excellency President Serinowl,

I am honoured to write on behalf of Nacrad to invite your nation, Pohnei, to join the Southeast Asia Treaty Organisation as an observer state, after we have heard of the recent uprising by the People's Liberation United Front (PLUF), which we suspect is backed by Kergstan.

By joining this treaty organisation, you will enjoy mutual protection from outside threats, which in this case is the Kergstani aggression.

Please let us know if you accept this invitation.

Yours,
Matthew Y. Smith
President of Nacrad
23/6/2020

Respected President Matthew Y. Smith,

We are convinced that our membership into the SEATO can bring only advantages to us and we would be happy to play our part in securing regional stability and beneficial trade relations.

We also recognize our weaknesses and therefore we take note of the necessity of a regional partnership in the fight against subversive forces.
Having said that, we gladly accept the invitation to become part of SEATO as an observer member.

Yours,
President of the Federation of Pohnei
Joak Serinowi

German Foreign Office • Ministerium für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten

It has come to our attention that the conflict in the Aknedo Islands has caused tensions between Kergstan and Pohnei. Under Executive Order 689, the Reichstag has approved the deployment of forces into the island in support of Kergstan. The Königliche Deutsche Marine will be deploying a force of 2 submarines, 2 destroyers, 1 helicopter carrier and 200 marines. Their primary tasks will be to conduct marine based missions, securing bases for Kergstan and to provide intelligence data for allied forces. Our main task however is to ensure that the balance of power remain greatly towards Kergstan.

The Peoples' Liberation United Front has launched three simultaneous attacks in Senkep, Langga and Basi, the latter being an urban guerrilla attack which forced part of the city of Basi under the control of the Basinese National Liberation Army, while the other attacks where quelled in hours with dozens of deaths on both sides this one is still continuing, and thanks to barricades and the presence of heavy anti-tank armaments the pohneian governmental forces haven't been able to end BNLA control of northern areas of Basi City.

Basinese citizens go to the streets in support of BNLA actions.

Okja Nerkutoa gives a speech regarding the event.

Nobody should be speechless about what's happening in Pohnei.
The clear contradictions of Pohnei, which is only an instrument of the western imperialists of whom the Bavanese are the vassals who oppress other locals to get in return the control of all the remaining wealth, taking away the few crumbles the original imperialists left behind.
They think that through the use of religious discourse they can continue with their barbarism but prayers don't fill bellies,
They think that at least the Bavanese populace will always follow them with some nationalist rhetoric being spat out, but that's not the case, one day, soon to come it is, the bavanese proletariat will understand that who is gaining from that system it's not them but those who lead them, who ultimately trascure them too, their minds fogged by greed.

The contradictions are emerging, the sky of reason becomes clear day by day, and the oppressed peoples will fight until freedom is assured like the Oraniteras did in the past in Kergstan giving birth to our socialist republic.

I officially declare the imposition of a travel ban into Pohnei for our citizens as the security situation might worsen.
We were keen on disengaging but the new regional situation obliges us to take important steps to ensure our national security.

The ''Geren Alat'' aircraft carrier will be brought 60 kms south of the Ankedo islands, it will carry 36 x Mikoyan MiG-29K and 6 x Sukhoi Su-25.
It will be escorted by some ships including an amphibious assault ship equpped with 4 x AH-1Z Viper and 4 x Kamov Ka-52 , 1 guided missile cruiser for air defense , two dock landing ship with 12 T-80 , 40 BMD-4 each, a general-purpose frigate , and two amphibious transport docks transporting 1.200 troops each.

Rule 34 of the House of Representative states, "Within 14 days inclusive of the disposal of the bill, it may be recycled at the second-reading stage by a supermajority."

This process is affectionately known as the "zombie bill", and a Neo-Conservative Representative invoked it on the Authorisation of Armed Forces Deployment (Amendment) Bill (3). It received a supermajority of support, as the Representatives are debating again.

Federal Republic of Nacrad

Directive to the Deployment of Armed Forces Against Communist Insurgents in Pohnei
20:00 29/6/2020

It was brought to my attention that an armed group dubbing itself the People's Liberation United Front (PLUF) has arisen itself in the regions of Kedren, Sankep, Balatan and Basi in an ally of Nacrad, namely Pohnei. With authorisation from the National Assembly, I hereby authorise and direct the deployment of armed forces onto Pohnei to assist the local government in repelling the rebels.

It must be reiterated that, while Nacrad holds dear the local peace, the deployment of the armed forces to certain regions would sometimes be unavoidable, much like this instance.

Thus, I hereby authorise and direct the deployment of troops by the Nacradian Armed Forces to Pohnei and any part thereof, for purposes including but not limited to peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, anti-insurgency and local defence.

A Kergstani Ilyushin Il-76 is leaving for Basi with 20 x 2S12 "Sani" heavy mortars and 20 x Toyota pickup trucks of various models.
The plane will be escorted by six Sukhoi Su-57 stealth multirole fighters.

The ''Geren Alat'' aircraft carrier and escorting ships moved 10 km further south but still remaining in the proximity of Ankedo islands.

Part of the kergstani troops in the Samora Machel Island landed in the dark of the night on Onapet Island setting a temporary base.

A low rank commander talks to his subordinates while sipping a cup of tea in front of a fire.

''I didn't understand at first the reason for such a controversial fight over two tiny islands, my morale was kinda low, but i feel this is our government's plan to reunite the

, lead the into liberation from the chains of neo-colonialism.
After all it's been decades that the local militias have waged many insurgencies within Pohnei and our government has always supported them, and i think they're right to do so.''

''Our Oranitera brothers, and all the people in the world deserve to taste justice and equality, they'd help us in making this country a better place day by day'' commented a subordinate, another added

''The party leadership has great plans and only great soldiers can achieve them, the time has come''.

Finally, after 38 hours straight of sailing at 70 km/h, NNV David had reached the sea outside which the rebels are active.

"Attention, all deck personnel," the central broadcast system sounded, "We are going to bomb the rebels. Get ready."

2 hours later, the catapults were readied, as with the planes. 2 fighters get catapulted into the air, and then took a sharp left turn. They bombed a rebel stronghold.

by **Kergstan** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 4:36 pm

The Rebel position attacked in Senkep was of logistical importance, the attack killed 158 insurgents and destroyed thousands of recently imported firearms, grenade launchers and so on.

The Senkep Liberation Force decided to split their cells in smaller ones in order to minimize the losses in case of future airstrikes against them as they lack anti-aircraft capabilities.

The government of Kergstan criticized the move ;

The Nacradian authorities decided to silence the voice of the oppressed minorities with violence, we warn them that any further aggression will not be tolerated and that every action has a consequence.

After the attack by Nacrad, the BNLA in Basi launched a multi-front attack in order to take control of the highway uniting Basi City with the port town of Salampat and the city itself.

The fight is tense and ongoing especially in the areas around south Basi City as Pohnei governmental troops have maintained control and launched mortar shells towards the BNLA troops.

BNLA responded with mortars but they lacked the right numbers and suffered heavy casualties around 100 dead against the estimated 30 to 40 of Pohneian troops, and weren't able to secure the intersection in front of the city which was one of the most strategic points.

BNLA decided to concentrate on the eastern part of the highway which was effectively secured in two days,
They successfully created barricades pushing back government's offensive from west.

The ''Geren Alat'' kergstani aircraft carrier docked in front of Salampat and the escort ships docked right in the port, the amphibious forces conquered the city with little resistance as the fighter jets on their heads were shooting strategic positions before the battle even started.

In a matter of hours with kergstani air support, the BNLA insurgents were able to secure all of Basi City and rural areas around it, officially establishing the Democratic Republic of Basi.

by **Nacrad** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 4:58 am

The crew on NNV David decided to bump up the intensity of raids. Now, instead of diffusing the attack throughout the rebel-held areas, it is decided to focus the firepower on Salampat and the Salampat-Basi City Highway. It is also ordered for the planes to take down any enemy fighters.

The ships that accompanied the carrier also began naval shelling against the port of Salampat, while back home, efforts are being made to gather the Marines to make a naval landing. It'll be boots on the ground soon.

At the same time, the submarine that accompanied the carrier group dove down in preparation of naval sabotage operations, but no one knew this. It found the Kergstani carrier. In the eyes of the submarine crew, Kergstan is a co-belligerent. They launched a total of 5 high-explosive homing torpedoes at the carrier, and heard 4 or 5 faint thuds. They hit.

by **Kergstan** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:43 am

The shelling against Salampat was successfull in making kergstani marines and the BNLA insurgents back from the port, and 40 troops, both kergstani and BNLA were killed.

The submarine attack on the ''Geren Alat'' left five navy troops dead and heavily damaged 2 Mikoyan Mig-29K, while the damages to the aircraft carrier can be resolved at sea, the two jets will need to be transported back in order to be serviceable, which is not possible at the moment.

Lt. Col. Ambirai understood he did a big mistake not taking enough anti-submarine measures, the only thing he could do was fire ASM torpedo missiles when he was certain about its position thanks to the aid of the ad-hoc installed sonars.

Lt. Col. couldn't confirm if the attack was successfull so is waiting for the comments of Nacradian sources.

by **Nacrad** » Thu Jul 02, 2020 5:50 am

"Hey, they took the bait!"

"Really? Let me check... They absolutely did! Nice, let's get a beer from the fridge after our shift is over."

The submarine had long left the area behind, knowing full well that they'd be shot if they hung around. However, they left behind a huge reflective weight that stayed roughly in the same place. The bait had a transponder that transferred the status in a jumbled code on public frequency. At this time, the submarine had already fled for 25 km from the scene.

Destroyer NNV Oswain decided to fire a few volleys at the Kergstani carrier, which had been made known after a few aerial surveys. The commander can't confirm if they hit, though.

The Marines have gathered 1 division of men, of which half are paratroopers. They boarded transport planes, and planned to land, with air support, near Basi City. They will depart tomorrow morning.
