Bakivaland seeks aid, as hostile militiamen are caught firing guns at Bakivish forces. Several scuffles have began, particularly in Antananarivo, where the violence had left many dead and many more injured. Many want peace, seeing it as a wonderful thing that native leaders have been put in charge, meanwhile their former French leaders often weren't as nice. The Colonial Government simply wants the unrest to end, and the central Bakivish Government wants the situation to resolve without them losing land. The three majors independence movements are as follows: the Republic of Madagascar, the Anarchists, and the Reformed Republic of Madagascar.
The Republic of Madagascar wishes to remain separate and sovereign from their colonial leaders. The Republic is made of loosely knit coalitions of local militiamen who wish to form an independent Republic. Some of the Republic wish to remain separate from the Bakivish yet keep their current Government, and others wish to begin with a clean slate.
The Anarchists want a free, anarchic society which is controlled by no one. The Anarchists are many different peoples and even some of the local law enforcement. The Anarchists are currently in the process of staging a coup and replacing the Government with corporations who enforce laws.
The Reformed Republic of Madagascar wishes to create an independent communist republic. They are the largest group, made of foreign military, militiamen, and even some local law enforcement. They are currently battling over Antananarivo against the Republic to gain control of the city.
