The Glass Breaks - An Alternate Version of Forlorn Peace

The year is 1992, and a civil war has erupted in Southern Africa, in the small Republic of Huzuni. Ever since Huzuni had gained independence from Great Britain in 1956, up until the establishment of the democratic government of Sir Julius Voorhees, Huzuni has been in a state of constant warfare. Whether it be ethnic strife between the Zulu majority and the Colored and White minorities, Cold War proxy wars, or even the schemes of Huzuni generals and politicians, there had always been fighting. After the Western-back Huzuni Patriotic Front had overthrown the military dictatorship of General Alphonse Kananga and further repulsed and crushed the Communist Huzuni Peoples' Liberation Front, the Republic of Huzuni had become stable and prosperous, with President Sir Julius Voorhees, a South African national and former UN Representative of Huzuni, leading the people of the nation to put aside their ethnic and ideological differences and focus on the betterment of Huzuni, exploiting the nation's oil reserves and breeding a strong and vibrant tourist industry. So far, the only strife and conflict had been with Zimbabwe, as anti-government militias had been operating out of Zimbabwe. On October 6th., 1991, the small bush war between government forces and these militias would erupt into a full-fledged war.

No one knows who fired the SA-7 Grail rocket that brought down the Huzuni Presidential DC-3 over the Zimbabwe-Huzuni border, killing everyone aboard, including Sir Julius Voorhees and his Secretary of State. However, as the Huzuni Air Force and the Zimbabwe Air Force began their investigations, a large Shona-Zulu militia launched a surprise attack on multiple government military installations in western Huzuni, killing a total of 1,000 people in a surprisingly well-orchestrated attack. Although the government was able to repulse the militia after the initial attack, the commanders of the Armed Forces were alarmed at the efficiency of the attack, and after discovering the bodies of several members of the Zimbabwe Special Air Service and Grey's Scouts among the dead militiamen at the site of an engagement in the small town of Rourke, the Air Force and Army launched a campaign into Zimbabwe, launching several bombing runs against Chikombedzi, Chiredzi, and Harare while pushing the Zimbabwe Defense Forces back in the initial advance of Huzunian Infantry and Armor units.

Despite being pushed back in the initial stages of the war, the ZDF and the anti-Huzuni militias were able to launch a counter-offensive after the Huzuni government began to suffer from a military coup that led to the death of the Prime Minister and the Vice President. The ZDF was able to push past the natural land barrier of the Eller Mountains and take the city of Mosate before South Africa threatened to intervene in the conflict if Zimbabwe continued its offensive. Despite ignoring the threat from President de Klerk, the ZDF's advance was finally halted by the HAF, forcing both sides into a stalemate. With up to a quarter of a million people now dead, foreign tourists stranded in various parts of Huzuni, South Africa threatening to intervene militarily, and reports of war crimes being committed by both sides, the United Nations has decided to intervene in the conflict, sending in a peacekeeping force consisting of 5,000 soldiers and 3,200 civilian employees.

In this roleplay, you assume the role of a member of UNAMH (United Nations Assistance Mission for Huzuni), during the Huzuni-Zimbabwe Conflict. Your main goal is to end the fighting between the two nations, investigate the reports of genocide and war crimes, and to prevent further bloodshed. In this conflict, diplomats and aid workers will do just as much as soldiers. Are you a soldier attached to the peacekeeping operation, or perhaps you are a diplomat, working to soothe relations between the ZDF and HAF? Whatever your role, you must prepare for bloodshed during a turbulent conflict that threatens to spill out into the rest of Africa.

Information

This timeline covers the history of Huzuni as an independent nation, from 1956 to 1992.

1956 - After almost 150 years as a British Colony, Huzuni is granted independence by the British government, after several months of fighting between revolutionary forces and British colonial forces, dubbed the "Huzuni Revolt." Due to political disagreements between the Zulu majority, the Colored minority, and the white minority, the three sides break out into civil war, with most nations recognizing the Colored Huzunian Authenticity Front as the legitimate government of Huzuni, as opposed to the Zulu Huzuni Progressive Faction.

1976 - After almost 2 million people are killed during the conflict, the leaders of the HPF and the HAF meet in London to finally bring an end to the civil war. The British-led negotiations are successful, and South African diplomat and HAF Secretary of Foreign Affairs Julius Voorhees is made a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his efforts in brokering peace for Huzuni. The HAF soon becomes the Huzuni Republican Party, and Johnathan Ndebele is elected President in Huzuni's first democratic elections. The nation begins a strong relationship with the West, while a splinter faction of the HPF forms the Huzuni Liberation Front, a Communist organization that is supplied and trained by the Soviet Union, East Germany, and Cuba. A small bush war develops, with the HLF fighting a losing war against the superior Huzuni Armed Forces. President Ndebele forces the HLF to the negotiating table, with both sides declaring a cease-fire.

1977 - After less than a year since the election of President Ndebele, many generals felt as though the President was being too soft on the Zulus, especially after he began to meet some of the HLF's demands. General Alphonse Kananga, the commander of the Huzunian Armed Forces and a hero of the Huzuni Revolt, leads the military in deposing President Ndebele and declaring the cease-fire to be over. A number of Zulu politicians and Colored moderates are imprisoned or executed, and replaced by Colored hardliners. Colonel Robert Kamenzi, the commander of the HLF, also resumes his military campaign against the government. Sir Julius Voorhees is removed from his position as Huzuni's representative in the UN, and he promptly flees to South Africa. The US and its allies end their support for the Republic of Huzuni.

1977 - CIA-funded mercenaries are dropped into Huzuni, with the goal of undermining the Kananga regime. The Huzuni Patriotic Army is created, and receives support from the West, as well as crucial military support from South Africa and Rhodesia. Both the HPA and the HLF begin to gain territory in Huzuni, carrying out both conventional and unconventional military campaigns.

1982 - Despite the loss of Rhodesia as an ally, the HPA finally musters enough strength to take the capital city of Thurston. General Kananga is captured and forced to order his forces to stand down. A number of military officers soon declare their support for the HPA, and the HPA is now in power in Huzuni. Sir Julius Voorhees is placed in power.

1984 - Colonel Kamenzi is killed during an engagement with government commandos, and the HLF loses military strength before giving up on its military campaign and moving into politics, becoming the Socialist Party. The economic situation in Huzuni begins to improve, and the tourism industry begins to pick up.

1986 - President Voorhees is reelected, and will be continuously reelected until his assassination in 1992.

1988 - Anti-government militias begin to launch strikes from Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwean government and Robert Mugabe deny involvement with the militias and conduct a half-assed campaign to root out the insurgent bases along the border. CIA and MI6 reports handed to the Huzuni Foreign Intelligence Bureau suggest that the militias are being supported by the Zimbabwe government.

1991 - Huzuni sends troops to Saudi Arabia to support Coalition forces in liberating Kuwait from Iraqi forces. 3 Huzuni troops are killed during the First Persian Gulf War.

1992 - With tensions between Zimbabwe and Huzuni escalating after a short skirmish between Zimbabwe troops and Huzuni Border Guards, President Voorhees personally boards a plane to Harare in order to negotiate with President Mugabe. While flying over the border, an SA-7 Grail missile brings the Presidential Aircraft down, killing everyone aboard. Shortly after the death of President Voorhees, anti-government militias launch assaults on multiple key military installations, killing over 1,000 people. Several members of the Zimbabwe Special Air Service and members of Grey's Scouts are discovered to have operated with the militias, prompting military action. Huzuni forces launch a bombing campaign against multiple Zimbabwe military installations and cities, while ground forces push into Zimbabwe. A counter-attack is launched after the Huzuni operations are stalled, mainly due to another military coup that has placed General Wilson Kabia in charge of the nation "for the duration of the emergency," and Zimbabwean forces took advantage of this stall and pushed into Huzuni, taking the city of Mosate and several other towns and cities until they were forced into a stalemate. The United Nations sends in a peacekeeping force in order to bring and end to the fighting and to investigate war crimes.

The Huzuni Armed Forces consist of the Army, Navy, Air Force, National Gendarmerie, and the Presidential Guard. The Armed Forces encompass about 50,000 men and women, including both Active Duty and Reserve personnel. The Armed Forces are supplied by the US, UK, France, and Belgium, and receive moderate-tech equipment. The training that members of the HAF receive is considered to be rather moderate, by Western standards, but considered enough to deal with the militias. A large portion of its officers and NCOs had served with the HPA during the Second Civil War, and even some of the former CIA-supported mercenaries that had formed the HPA remain in the military.

Huzuni Army Equipment

The Huzuni Army is chiefly supplied by Belgium, and trained by the United States. Other major foreign suppliers are France and the UK. The equipment of the Huzuni Army is mostly, if not entirely, foreign-made, as the country has no defense industry. Though many weapons were supplied during the Cold War, some date back to British colonial days, and others are modern.

(Image)
The standard small arm of the Huzuni Army is the Belgian FN FAL, supplemented by the British-made version, the L1A1. This has been the standard-issue battle rifle since the late 1960s, and shows no signs of slowing down. Both versions are externally identical in most respects; the difference is in the use of metric measurements for the FAL and imperial for the L1A1, resulting in very limited parts interchangeability. Both rifles use the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, which is the most commonly used round in the Huzuni Military by far. 90% of the Army's small arms chamber it.

(Image)
Recently, these rifles have been supplemented in a very limited fashion with American M16A2 rifles from various sources including the United States itself. These burst-fire assault rifles are more modern and can mount more accessories, but require more maintenance and use a different round, 5.56x45mm NATO, which effectively limits their use to only the most elite troops. Other AR-15 family rifles are also seen in Huzuni hands.

(Image)
The French government recently made an offer to supply Huzuni with surplus FAMAS rifles, which fire the same round and use the same magazines. A handful of these bullpup guns have been delivered to Huzuni Army units for testing.

(Image)

The Huzuni Army, continuing the trend of Belgian small arms, uses the FN MAG as its chief (and officially, only) machine gun. It is mounted on vehicles as well as carried in the field. Some of these FN MAG machine guns are possibly Israeli-made, while others may be American M240B machine guns; all these are the same weapon, however.

A number of assorted handguns are also in Huzuni use. Pistols have never been standardized, and as such they use a myriad of rounds; officers are required to obtain their own sidearms, which have become symbols of prestige rather than actual weapons due to the difficulty in obtaining reliable pistols in Huzuni. The Browning Hi-Power, various models of Glock, TT-33, Webley Mk. VI, and M1911 are all seen in Huzuni service, as are many more.

(Image)
(Image)
Though the Huzuni government does not issue out submachineguns, their utility leads some soldiers to obtain them regardless. The Uzi and Sterling are the most common, though Sa 25 guns are also seen on occasion.

(Image)
Marksmen in the Huzuni Army are not standardized, but do exist. They have a range of weapons available in small numbers. These range from old Lee-Enfield rifles to the more modern Remington 700. The latter has been supplied very recently by the US. The most common rifle, however, is the French FR F1 rifle, which the Huzuni government obtained in fairly large numbers as surplus in the late 1980s.

Small arms done! I might've gone a little bit overboard. I'll keep it simpler for the rest of 'em.

The Zimbabwean Defense Forces consist of the Army and Air Force, as well as the Zimbabwe Republic Police. The ZDF was created after the signing of the Lancaster House Agreement, and the military wings of ZIPRA, ZANU, and ZANLA were merged with the existing Rhodesian Security Forces, which had previously been one of the best militaries in Africa. The ZDF receives weapons from a number of nations, mainly Eastern European nations, though they still make use of Rhodesian military equipment.

At 9000 strong, the Huzuni National Patriotic Front is the largest of the anti-government militias, and certainly the most formidable. The HNPF was created by Captain Hinga Koromah in 1987, with substantial assistance from Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Koromah, a defector from the HAF, created the HNPF to overthrow the existing government, with Voorhees being seen as an agent of the west. While not socialist, the HNPF has drawn its finest fighters from the ranks of HLF veterans, as well as Huzuni nationals who volunteered to fight with ZANLA during the war in Rhodesia. When it was first formed, the HNPF put forward the slogan, "Rats may hide behind masks. Power to the People". While its goal was clearly to change the government of Sierra Leone, the RUF gave little indication of what sort of government would replace it. The group does not advocate Marxism or any similar leftist ideology, nor does it advocate extreme nationalism or Fascism. It also did not claim to be a force fighting for a certain ethnic group or region. Launching raids across the border since 1988, the HNPF is an experienced force, albiet with mediocre training. Its finer elements, however, have received training from Mugabe's 5th Brigade. Armed mainly with small arms, the HNPF do posses some more advanced equipment, either supplied by the ZDF, or captured from the HAF.

The United Nations Assistance Mission to Huzuni, or UNAMH, is a UN Peacekeeping Operation that seeks to bring an end to the conflict between Zimbabwe and Huzuni. UNAMH consists of 5,000 soldiers from several UN member nations, and 3,200 civilian employees from various aid organizations and other groups. The Head of the Mission is Dr. Rathore Khan, an Indian Medical Doctor and Engineer with extensive experience with UN operations. The Force Commander for the peacekeeping force is Brigadier General George Helms, a United States Army Infantry Officer.

Professional and High Command Staff (This list is in the order highest rank to lowest): Mission Head ---> Force Commander & Force Medical Commander ---> Chief Military Observer -----> Special Representative for Political Affairs (Any other diplomatic ranks, other diplomats would be called U.N. Representatives, the Special Representative leads them)

Field Commissioned Officers(Most ranks are equal on this list since each character here commands something of their own): British Contingent Commander; Indian Contingent Commander; Police Contingent Commander; Senior Field Officer

Field Services (Basically NCOs/Enlisted): Any Military characters that do not command over a full division/regiment (I'd suggest we'd lower the amount of commissioned officers and suggest more NCO characters, having control over squads and such. It'd be even better if we could list the divisions open for these NCOs so we have current commanders above them. I can make a certain division list as well if you'd like)

Sponsored Aid Groups: Wright Foundation, whatever other foundations/people that are accepted for this role. They are not lone wolves if they are sponsored, under control by the Professional Staff.

The Republic of Huzuni began as a simple British colony in 1881, when it was founded by British settlers, and the capital city of Thurston was founded that same year. Huzuni was known for its diamond mining operations, as well as its sizeable oil deposits. Huzuni also brought in thousands of European tourists, who sought out the warm beaches of Huzuni, as well as the world-class safari hunting that could be experienced in the savannahs and plains of Huzuni. Aside from its natural resources, Huzuni was one of the best resort locations in southern Africa.

The cultural makeup of Huzuni is rather diverse. 85% of Huzuni citizens are Zulu, while 8% of citizens are of the Colored background. 4% of citizens are white, 2% are from the Shona, 0.8% are Indian, and the remaining 0.2% are from other origins. The total number of citizens of Huzuni comes to 10 million people. The official languages of Huzuni are English and Zulu, with Afrikaans and Shona being prevalent along the borders with South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The current Head of State of Huzuni is General Wilson Kabia, a Huzuni Army Officer who led a coup against President Buthelezi and Prime Minister Tambo. General Kabia had declared himself "Interim President" for "the duration of the emergency," and has vowed to step down from the Presidency once the war has been peacefully resolved. Most Huzuni citizens supported Kabia during his coup, and he is seen as a rather fair President, allowing Parliament to conduct itself normally and not making any attempts to install a military hunta. He has been hailed by many as a Patriot, while his critics have called him a Warlord.

Music is a large part of Huzuni culture, and a local mixture of Jazz and Semba is the predominant favored genre of music in Huzuni. Strangely, Huzuni citizens enjoy listening to American country music, with artists such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Jones being among the musicians most listened to by Huzuni citizens. R&B is beginning to make an appearance in the major population centers of Huzuni, with many promising young R&B artists emerging. Western pop music is disliked by a majority of the population, and the younger portion of the whites are typically the only citizens that enjoy Western pop. Heavy metal is almost unheard of in Huzuni. In the wake of the recent war, a new trend of patriotism in Huzuni music has swept the scene, with many high-profile musicians composing and performing patriotic pieces in support of the war effort.

Officially, Huzuni is a Democracy, with an Executive Branch, Parliament, and Judicial Branch. The President is the highest-ranking elected official, and reigns as the Head of State, Commander and Chief, Chief Legislator, and Chief Diplomat. The office is given similar powers to that of the American Presidency, and is modeled after the office. The government draws in influences from both Britain and the US, such as a Parliamentary legislative branch and a system of checks and balances in order to ensure that no one branch of office gains power.

More information will be added, including the division of administrative districts.

Name: George Helms.
Age: 44.
Gender: Male.
Physical Description (A picture will suffice): Helms.
Birthplace: Lexington, NC.
Nationality: American.
Personality: He's an intelligent, professional man. He respects his men, but knows that at times, he must order them into harm's way. He's been in combat before, and he's not afraid to personally move onto the battlefield in order to get things done. On an separate note, he is a bit of a womanizer.
Role in UNAMH: Peacekeeping Force Commander.
Education: He received his Bachelor's Degree in History from Norwich University, and obtained his Master's in Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies from UNC Chapel Hill. He has also attended the War College, British Army Command and General Staff College, and the US Army Command and General Staff College.
Affiliation (What nation are you from, and/or what military are you with): United States Army.
Rank (If Military): Brigadier General.
Anything Else (Anything can go here, from a background, to military service, to decorations): BG Helms commissioned into the US Army as an Infantry Platoon Leader in 1969, and after Ranger School, Airmobile School, Airborne, and Infantry School, he was sent to Vietnam with the 101st. Airborne, and saw his first major slice of action at Firebase Ripcord in 1970, where he earned the Silver Star for conspicuous gallantry during combat. Up until 1983, he served with the 101st. until 1983, where he took up an offer to become a Major in the 75th. Ranger Regiment, serving with the unit during Operation Urgent Fury. He would serve during Operation Just Cause as a Lieutenant Colonel, and then be promoted to Colonel after moving back to the 101st., going on to become a Brigadier General just before Operation Desert Storm. He would command a brigade of the 101st. during Desert Storm, and earn the nickname "Desert Lion" for his action against the Iraqi Army. He was nominated by the US to serve as Force Commander for UNAMH, a decision that he isn't entirely thrilled about.

In 1975, Helms married French actress and model Chloe Dutour, with the two becoming an inseparable couple in public and in private. The two would soon have 2 children, a boy and a girl, and although the two were faced with new challenges, they continued their respective careers. Despite the fact that George and Chloe are rather close, both of their schedules allow them the "luxury" of having extramarital affairs, something that George isn't proud of, though he still carries them out.

George can usually be seen wearing his US Army BDUs with the sleeves rolled up, with a blue UN Beret. On his fatigues, he wears patches for his Combat Infantryman Badge, Airborne Wings, Air Assault Wings, and his Mountain Warfare Ram's Head Device above his 'US ARMY' nametape above the left breast pocket of his blouse, and he wears a Ranger Tab just above the UN patch on his upper left sleeve.

George was born in August of 1948, as the son of North Carolina tobacco industry businessman and decorated World War II veteran Henry Helms, who would go on to serve as a North Carolina State Senator in 1954 and later as a US Senator from North Carolina from 1958 to 1980.

Anything Else (Anything can go here, from a background, to military service, to decorations): Carter Wright was born to an old money family who made their fortune in steel back in the 1900's. Carter aspires to be a politician some day, maybe even a United States Senator. Since his teenage years, Carter has been heavily involved with his mother's humanitarian group, The Wright Foundation. The Wright Foundation was founded by Vivian Wright a few years before Carter was born and focuses heavily on building schools, hospitals, bring electricity and clean water to 3rd world countries. Between summers at Yale, Carter would often go to parts of the world, teaching children to read and write while setting up an infrastructure for them to thrive in.

However, while in school, Carter focused mainly on his studies, while still hosting charity functions alongside his mother for the foundation. He graduated from Yale a year ago with honors, and rather than heading straight into politics, he took the time to rediscover himself and come to terms with the fact that he was indeed gay. Naturally his family treated and loved him just the same, however he did lose a few friends. A friend of his pushed him into the dating scene, where Carter ended up casually dating a law student. Carter was well known among the eastern seaboards high society, not just for his last name, but for the work he had sone and all he had accomplished at such a young age. Before heading to Capital Hill to get a start in politics, he decided it would be good to do another aid mission before his life became too busy to allow for such a thing.

Carter's ambition and passion for helping others landed TWF in the Republic of Huzuni. Where many other aid groups stay away from, TWF would not be deterred by the conflict going on. While Vivian Wright tends to matters back in the states, Carter along with 20 other TWF workers to aid the people of Huzuni.

Approved.

For all that is holy, please let me be a militia commander.

I know you, I trust you, and you did a pretty good job of taking Pala for the RP in my Far Cry 2 RP. You're my Co-OP, so you can create a militia, but not a militia character. If you want, you can focus on the militias, as opposed to creating a UN character. Just type me up a bio for your militia and give me some statistics.

Of course.

Incoming app for commander of the British component to the mission.

Incoming app for commander of the British component to the mission.

Good.

The mission isn't too heavy on firepower, so they can't really outgun any government forces from either Zimbabwe or Huzuni, but they have superior firepower when it comes to facing the militias. The belligerents outnumber the peacekeepers though.

So, maybe the 3rd Battalion, Parachute regiment, and a small component from the army air corps?

Go ahead. The US will provide most of the heavy lifting for the air component of the operation, but it wouldn't hurt to have other nations carry out the rest of the air support.

The Huzuni National Patriotic Front, or HNPF.

At 9000 strong, the HNPF is the largest of the anti-government militias, and certainly the most formidable. The HNPF was created by Captain Hinga Koromah in 1987, with substantial assistance from Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Koromah, a defector from the HAF, created the HNPF to overthrow the existing government, with Voorhees being seen as an agent of the west. While not socialist, the HNPF has drawn its finest fighters from the ranks of HLF veterans, as well as Huzuni nationals who volunteered to fight with ZANLA during the war in Rhodesia. When it was first formed, the HNPF put forward the slogan, "Rats may hide behind masks. Power to the People". While its goal was clearly to change the government of Sierra Leone, the RUF gave little indication of what sort of government would replace it. The group does not advocate Marxism or any similar leftist ideology, nor does it advocate extreme nationalism or Fascism. It also did not claim to be a force fighting for a certain ethnic group or region. Launching raids across the border since 1988, the HNPF is an experienced force, albiet with mediocre training. Its finer elements, however, have received training from Mugabe's 5th Brigade. Armed mainly with small arms, the HNPF do posses some more advanced equipment, either supplied by the ZDF, or captured from the HAF.

Can there be an Indian peacekeeper contingent?

I like it, and of course there's going to be an Indian contingent. At most, they'd have a battalion of troops for their contingent.

If anyone's interested, we will also be needing war crimes investigators from the Hague.

Well, my plan was to have the SAS investigating the war crimes. But yeah, the Hague is needed.
