War in Taugvitistan Escalates - OOC & Signups

[Malkaestan]

The War in Taugvitistan, starting fully in 2016, was originally an entirely internal Malkaestani affair, and had not warranted any foreign involvement. However, recently, the frontlines have become elastic once more, with the United Taugviti Front (composed of the People's Republic of Taugvitistan and the Sultanate of Taugvitistan) beginning attacks on key Malkaestani positions, with the Malkaestani government retaliating by sending in more battalions to crush the pockets of resistance. In just the past week, there have been more casualties than the entire month before that.

Following this period of battle and guerrilla warfare, more local revolts began, combined with the Malkaestani Armed Forces being accused of crimes against humanity, with many of the main accusers being the states of Litsserlund and Wairca.

With this development, the possibility of foreign involvement has greatly increased due to the change from small guerilla fighting to a fully blown sectarian civil war.

OOC: Note that the People's Republic and Suitanate are not fighting yet, except for occasional border conflicts.
