Mahara Islamic State

[Delfos]

ooc: planned RP, only involves Delfo-Canadian forces but without any substantial action between Canada/Quebec with New Delfos.

Hassan Yazir grasped his sniper rifle, testing the scope through the mob assembled near the Mahara Parliament building that looked like an Arabian palace. His hide-out was perfect on a building nearby, the shades were down and his crew was ready for assistance. Yazir was paying a favor, the Black Scorpion Clan wanted to install an Islamic State, although some tribes were against it since the union was bringing profit, merchandising their surplus through Taijitu. Why would they want an Islamic State? And who was this Hamed Mulahomi that was so interested in power? Was he a Black Scorpion himself?

*

Balo Muhaki: "I'm having problems with the Black Scorpion Clan, increasing the number of agents in Mahara is not going to solve it. I think they are targeting the CGV lines, or the Delfo-Canadian forces stationed nearby."

Lex Delfos: "Look, I can't leave, this treaty is important, and I need to clarify our support to the Saletsia. Although this CGV lines are important, soon the Fuzileiros and the Goshawks will be stationed in Mahara, anything that our forces or the Delfo-Canadian forces can't handle and the military will intervene."

Balo Muhaki: "I see, the only answer you can give is military...I'm not pleased but i have to accept. I guess that as long i have protection from the Mahara Tribes I won't need any army. Keep in touch, and check if Soy Bud'yien and Lot Doyen Kazi can be departed from Takasia."

Lex Delfos: "Alright, good luck with the Mahara Merchants Conference."

«LINK LOST» Muhaki: "Always hanging fast..."

Councilor Muhaki entered his Jeep with a couple of other jeeps carrying armed tribesmen following. They met a Delfo-Canadian Force APC in the road that escorted them to Muharraf. Arriving the city outskirts you could see the country men and the fields of Chili Peppers to the horizon, with the tall monster buildings marking the center of Muharraf. They had to drive around the outskirts to avoid traffic, and then they reached the marvelous Mahara Parliament, where there would be a conference with the Merchant Tribes Association and Mahara Ministry House of Market. The core of the discussion would be the CGV Trade Center in Muharraf, directly linked by CGV lines to Montreal, that would be amasing. Faster way to transport their goods, faster way to earn their money. Plus they would be then linked to Sharjah, that's 2 great seaports, that's awesome for Maharan Market. Although Balo Muhaki received a letter from the Black Scorpion Clan saying this CGV lines and market centers will destroy the ancient way of life of tribal system. Muhaki was afraid, this letters always mean something, will the conference be targeted? Will be himself be targeted?

*

Yazir spotted Muhaki's silver jeep, followed by other 2. He couldn't miss, it would be 1 dead or everyone, seems the BSC had set explosive nearby the Parliament as Plan B. He scoped Muhaki, it was a clear shot, but...why should he die? This could be arranged in another way...'The Explosives!', he quickly set the scope to Muhaki's torso, in the back, tried to find the right spot to go through lungs and heart just in case. There! BANG!, Muhaki fell on the parliament stairs, everyone started to run for their lives, another shot, BANG! He lifted the rifle and started to disassemble it, cleaning and putting every piece on it's place. Didn't took too long, the BSC crew was edgy while Yazir cleaned the rifle, they though he was taking too long, but as soon as he was finished, they picked up the cases and ran downstairs.

*

Canadian Sergeant: "The shots came from there, quick, secure the perimeter!"
Delfo-Canadian Forces were nearby just in case, the spotted the second shot on the building, the jeeps rushed to it. Forces with the NDRA coat of arms and Delfo-Canadian Coalition symbol ran to the door. "You are surrounded, give up now or we will be forced to eliminate you."
"Go to hell!" Came from inside the building, the Candian Sergeant answered "You first! Alright lads, bring him down."
The rolled several tear-gas grenades, they all put their maskes on and ran to the building.
The sound of an RPK started to shoot 2 Delfo-Canadian units, the rest shot towards them, they rushed upstairs and they shot someone with an AK74 with all the gadgets, they were very well armed. Although there was one left, he had a suitcase.

*

Hassan Yazir was scared to death, looking at the crew loosing blood all over the floor. He immediately dropped his suitcase. "I'm sorry, i was practically forced for this, i give up."
"I bet you do." The forces entered the room, picked up the suitcase and arrested Yazir.
"What's in the suitcase?" All this with a gun on his head. "What's in the fucking suitcase!?"
"A sniper rifle, I shot President Muhaki."
"I'm not the one you have to confess to."
"Where are you taking me?"
"Muharraf Criminal Center, you know the stories?"
"The ones about people being tortured?"
"Hm, yes, well, that's where you're heading."

[Delfos]

The next day...

Hamed Mulahomi: "I don't want elections, I'm perfectly capable of running Mahara."
Kein Swotten: "I don't doubt that, but you're trying to force the your entrance int he Council, we cannot accept it."
Mulahomi: "What you spoke to Delfos?"
Swotten: "Delfos agreed with me, we're against your decision, we request with all respect for presidential elections..."
Mulahomi: "But people want me! Even the Black Scorpion Clan sent me a congratulating letter...that's a good sign!"
Councilor Swotten: "Ah..yes, well that's another business, the NDRA Services suspect you are affiliated with the Black Scorpion Clan..or even, you are a member of them."
Mulahomi: "none-sense. If by noon i don't get Council's permission for Mahara Region Presidency i shall have it by force!"
Councilor Swotten: "We regret that taking it by force is the way you choose...we do not wish any conflict..."
Mulahomi: "You shall have one, I have everything planned, I will give this region the best presidency ever! I will restore the ancient Mahara and Muharraf union system...please! Give me presidency!"
Swotten: "I believe your intentions are good, but even that system, as you say, is ancient and is associated with the Emirate system, will you be the Emir Mahara, or the Emir Muharraf?"
Mulahomi: "You know the Emirate is broken! Muharraf blood-line was most likely broken by ancient clans..."
Swotten: "Anyway, this is not in discussion, whatever you want, we will organize a presidential election. This is the Council's word!"
Mulahomi: "What a fake council! You cannot speak by the people of Mahara! Your Mahara representative is dead! It is I who succeed! Whether you give permission or not!"

[Delfos]

Panic. Civilians are running in any direction, cars rushing out of the streets, Muharraf is in total chaos.
BSC forces have taken a perimeter around Muharraf and occupied the most important official centers of the metropolitan area. Security, Military and Civilians have been killed already.
They cannot control the situation inside the city while the exterior is fortified with heavy weaponry, keeping the rapid detachment of New Delfos Royal Army in the outskirts. The Rifles, Mechas and other divisions and trying to keep several rendez-vous points safe, not only for organizing defense/offense, but also to protect civilians that are trying to run away from the city center.
They started to be thousands, now they reach millions, the Muharraf metropolitan area has an estimate of almost 80 million citizens.

(OOC: erm that's 8 times the population of Portugal, this got count from NS stats. Totally unrealistic, but let me explain:
I basically divided the population per region, that's around 200million per region, since Mahara region is mainly desert and tundra, almost half of the population is in the capital...

Using Portuguese population, almost 10.5 million, that's 2 million per region, means Muharraf has around 1 million (1/10th) citizens counting the Portuguese population.

Anyone wanting to help please ask 1st before putting your feet on my country. I hope no one rushes for help since this just began, but i expect some diplomatic 'interrogations' by the Canada boy)

[Delfos]

"Sir, gunshots Northwest of us. Scouts have reason to believe it's the Delfo-Canadian forces."
New Delfos Royal Army Chief Commander took a moment to check the map and process the intel.



"Did the NDRA Tower replied? I want that map here!"
"I will check sir..."
An infantry logistic officer came in the tent running:
"The Tower has replied sir, satellite confirms the mod in northwest are Black Scums and Delfo-Canadian forces. Also a significant number of civilians gathered in the Muharraf Emirate Team sports camp. Here sir..."



"Right, tell everyone we're moving!"
All units got into their vehicles and, as ordered, the traveled to the Muharraf Emirate Team Sports Complex to assist the civilians. Allot of civilians were found running around, every of them, after sighting the New Delfos Royal Army emblem on the vehicles, asked for help and directions. Many wanted to fight against the BSC, those were ordered to go to the NDRA camp at Omak University. They could help there assisting the extraction of civilians to the improvised Refugees camp southwards.

[Delfos]

As soon they reached the sports complex, they were welcomed with several gunshots, including snipers that killed a few of the Royal Army.
"what's that noise?"
"what noise?"
"seems it's coming from inside the complex..."
"yeah...maybe they are torturing people? stop wondering, let's eliminate those guys on the left, then we run there to their place and shoot the rest from there. Wait for aerial support! Understood?"
"Yes sir"

The command officer left the squad and came to the others, briefing the orders from the Chief that was few kilometers away. "Sir! RPG launchers at 11!". The scums fired the RPG and other portable missile launchers against their position. Most of the cars and APCs blew up, and half of the front force was decimated instantly. "How the fuck did they coordinated such attack! Men, run there, sharp shooters, kill the bloody launchers!"
As said the sharp shooters eliminated most of the launchers around the area while the rest of the force eliminated the Black Scums.
"This one looks like a civilian sir..."
"No wonder, i guess some civilians support this..."
"Shall we move to the complex to rescue the people?"
"Yes sure, no time to loose, we can't afford such blood shed!"
The complex was huge, had everything. Seems like all Olympic sports could be played there, although most were inside the Muharraf Emirate Team Olympic Stadium, the biggest in New Delfos. The front force of the Royal Army didn't encounter much more Resistance and just a few died since the missile attacks. They managed to get close to the stadium...but something was not right. What seemed distress shouts from the people at distance was now very silent. They couldn't waste more time, people could be dieing in there! They rushed inside the stadium and climbed up killing everyone they could find.
"Sir we need serious reinforcements, this isn't right! We entered the stadium but haven't found anyone yet!"
"Understood, try to grab as much as you can, kill all resistance and fall back as soon as possible, logistics say satellite caught a massive movement from the Black Scorpions towards that sports complex. Take care...out"
"Alright men, let's keep moving. No time to waste!"
They could hear someone making a speech...as the force continued going up and encountering little resistance the Commander tried to figure out what was going on...he could hear:
"No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother that he desires for himself."
What was being preached?
"Sir, 2 men around the the corner. And i was instructed here in Mahara, they are preaching the Sharia..."
"The Sharia!? Let's keep going!"
A special trained infantry soldier translated as "Cat Claws" prepared his silent carbine and turned the corner. While the force behind the corner awaited news, they heard *PAF*PAF* seconded by the noise of men falling. "Sir...they are thousands...you can come."
"what do you mean thousands" his voice was cut when they reached the entrance for a balcony of the stadium. The ground of the stadium was full of people. They were listening to the speech, the one in the pulpit was heavily guarded by Black Scorpions. What the hell...the guy finished his speech of the Sharia and suddenly the stadium trembled with the applause and noise coming out of the civilians.
"Mother of God! What the fuck is going on?! We have to get out of here!"
"Commander? Pay attention to your COM link!"
"Sir? This is unbelievable..."
"What is? What's that noise? Look, the reinforcements are there, but they have orders to evacuate you, seems thousands of Black Scorpions are converging in the Sports Complex. You have to get out. Have you heard any word i told you?"
"Ahmmm...yes sir, but, the civilians, sir..."
"What man! Come on, I don't have all day!"
"They are thousands, and they are supporting the Black Scorpions, we assisted to a speech about the Sharia right now...the noise you hear are the people applauding the Scorpions.."
"Are you fucking serious?"
Some high officer of the Black Scorpions reached the guy on the stage, whispered to his ear something, and the guy on the stage walked to the microphone again.
"Friends, we have news that the Royal Force is outside the stadium, let's go welcome them!"
Followed by a loud support by everyone, they started moving towards the main gateway.
"Sir, they are moving out of the stadium, we are rushing down, tell them to meet us at the eastern gateway or else we won't stand a chance!"
"Ok, but keep safe, don't expose yourselves until they come get you. Understood?"
"Yes sir, out."
The front force started to go down the way they came from. Obviously scared about the whole scene, they heard the hoards of people going out of the stadium yelling "Mahara is ours, Mahara is ours!".
The reinforcements were greeted with several rocks and words of protest, they couldn't do anything, they started to pull back and eastwards to meet with the front force. The mob understood the move and blocked the way into the stadium, thousands! easily outnumbering the reinforcements. The Black Scorpions kept hidden without firing a single shot or missile. They were surely happy with it.
"commander, we are having difficulties in meeting you..."
"Yes...wait! they blockade this way, move back, don't let them see us!"
"commander?"
"Look, we can't go out..."
"We can't go in, commander..."
"Alright, fall back, there's no other choice."
"But sir...we ain't leaving you there."
"You have to, fall back, i lost the link to the command center, i think our logistic guys might have been caught.  Tell the Chief that we're remaining here, we will try to meet with the Delfo-Canadian forces trapped northwards and others. Our rendez-vous is..."
"Yes sir?"
"Our rendez-vous is westwards, probably the Muharraf International Airport. See you Sergeant Major."
"Alright, see you, out."

And so, the west Royal Army front force remained hidden in the stadium until they were clear to get out. At the same time the other forces were being driven out of the Muharraf metropolitan area by the raging population.

[Delfos]

After few waves of BSC Fighters moving on the streets, the scene outside calmed down. The Royal Army front force moved out of the sports complex, always hiding. They heard a radio distress signal when they were moving north. When the signal got stronger they could hear the voices:
"Any friendly force alive around here? We are Delfo-Canadian Coalition forces trapped in the Muharraf Hamaejad Bank. If you hear the signal, please move there. Any National Guard alive around here? We are Delfo-Canadian Coalition forces trapped inside the Muharraf Hamaejad Bank. Please, if you hear this signal, meet us there..."
They heard the poor guy saying the message 10 more times, and then one of the scouts returned running.
"Sir! I saw a city map 500m from here, but there were Black Scums guarding some vehicles. Around 6, probably more inside the restaurant."
"Damn, i would surely like some food. This rations have to last...men, let's conquer the restaurant and grab some booze."
"Alright sir, moving."
They had to split into 4 groups. 1 in the rear waiting the signal to move in, one in the street as suppressing group, and 2 flanking the buildings to reach the other side of the crossfire.
"Ready? They will come there. Do not fire up, always down, or else you risk hitting one of ours. I don't want any casualty. Understood?"
"Sir, this will be piece of cake."
"Indeed. Ready? GO!"
Several shots started to come from one of the ends of the street. As expected, allot more BSC fighters came out of the buildings, all taking shelter behind cars and whatever was on the street. The flanking teams reached their position and decimated everyone from their backs. The central team started to fire at the buildings so that the other teams could move inside. They reached the restaurant and found very few body guards of what they thought to be some BSC leader.
"Keep your hands up you bastards!"
When the rest moved in the Restaurant it became over crowded. They disarmed every Black Scorpions, tied their hands and locked them in the bathroom with 2 guards.
"Now it's food time. I'm sorry pal, did they made you cook for you?"
"Yes, i will gladly cook for you took. Take whatever you need!"
"This has to be short. We need water mostly, and if you could, few booze wouldn't harm much. And hey, could you tell us where is the Muharraf Hamaejad Bank?"
"Ah! There's one at the end of the street. You can't miss it."
"Oh ok. Thank you."
After everyone having a bit of bread with meat, few whine and refills, everyone got on the way to this Bank. The bank seemed abandoned. Papers all over, and no sign of Delfo-Canadians.
"Check the radio and send a message, say we reached the destination."
..."Delfo-Canadian forces, are you listening? We are Royal Army, we reached your destination, advise on your position, over..."
"Doesn't seems to be working, let's go in."
"Sir, i don't like this..."
"What do you fear? A trap?"
"Well, this seems like an ambush...THERE!"
A clumsy shot fired up where it seemed to be a figure.
"Hey what the hell!"
Something rolled down the stairs
"Grenade! MOVE!"
The few that were inside the building rushed out, BOOM!
"EVERYONE STOP!" Someone said in Inglish from upstairs.
Outside every troop was aiming at the windows, then they saw an hand.
"Identify yourselves or we will be forced to open fire!"
An helmet was shown on the other hand, they could see the insignia of the Delfo-Canadian Coalition forces.
"We are Delfo-Canadian forces...who are you?!"
"Royal Army, come down."
"Is it safe?"
"We are here, ain't we?"
About 4 troopers came down the building.
"Only you survived?"
"No, this was just a safe way to know who would look for us. Come, let me show you where we are."
"Wait, gotta get the rest of my crew..."
"How much more are you?"
"3 times more. Not much, more than half of our force got slaughtered near the sports complex."
"Are you not our freedom force?"
"Well, I'm sorry, we are as trapped as you. But we got a rendez-vous with our army."
"That's nice, where exactly?"
"Muharraf International Airport..."
"If it's not taken by the scorpions already, it will if we reach in time."
"Who's your commanding officer?"
"A friendly Canadian, Captain Gerard, ring a bell?"
"No, I don't know any Delfo-Canadian officer. And look, we bring booze."
"That's alright, we managed to get some ourselves. Thanks anyway. Here we are. GOOD WEATHER OUTSIDE!"
The doors to a big building opened mechanically. The troops entered the buildings and met the Delfo-Canadian force. Maybe 2 patrols together, around 35 men.
"Look what i found lost on the streets."
"Nice, salute commander. Are you our freedom force?"
"Ah well...no. We got trapped in the sports complex, more than half of our force was decimated there."
"Did they knew we were here?"
"Yes Satellite spotted your forces. There's more around north, but it's our Chief Commander who has the data."
"What's the plan?"
"If lucky we rendez-vous with our real freedom force in the Muharraf International Airport."
"Then we must leave..."

[Delfos]

*Secret Council*

President: "What's with the population now in Muharraf?"

NDRA Brigadier General: "Well, seems the population is actually worshiping this revolution, we are quite lost, weren't we supposed to protect the civilians?"

NDRA General: "Our goal is to eliminate any resistance..."

NDAF General: "Are you nuts? We must consider them as civilians!"

NDRA General: "Ain't they all?"

President Delfos: "What are we talking about?"

NDAF General: "The Royal Army are nuts!"

NDRA General: "Mr. Boris Janovisk, don't call us nuts."

NDAF General: "You are proposing genocide!"

NDRA General: "Are not them responsible for the atrocities that our people are blamed for? Weren't they considered terrorists by many foreign nations?!"

President Delfos: "I believe this is out of hand. They couldn't brainwash so many civilians. They indeed are a threat to our unified nation, and not all agree with the Sharia..."

NDRA General: "If anyone needs to be blamed are the Black Scorpions and their followers, the civilians that follow those Black Scums are terrorists themselves! I got men being stoned to death in Muharraf's streets!"

President Delfos: "We are sensitive with your distress, but this has to be solved with delicate precision. We cannot risk the fall of our ideals, you know what i am talking about..."

Councilor Swotten: "Precisly...we must draw the paths avaible."

NDNF General: "Well, we can neutralize the Black Scorpion leaders, avoid the civilians, and when controled, we can start a...rehabilitation project for those who followed the Black Scorpions."

President Delfos: "Well that would be our classical move...some say it's brainwash, but it's effective. What else?"

NDRA General: "We have to neutralize everyone that follows the Black Scorpions so that our unified nation can live in peace. Taking over all the tribes and force them to move to modernized areas so they prosper under our crontrol. At all costs, we have to protect the Zabid Project."

NDAF General: "The Zabid Project can be moved! Kujsk has been a great secret workplace for us!"

NDNF General: "Well we can always dismantle the whole Zabid Project and, as General Janovisk said, can be created elsewhere."

President Delfos: "But what about the civilians that follow the BSC?"

NDRA General: "As BSC members! We eliminate them!"

Councilor Swotten: "That's very radical, but is probably the most effective way...although I consider it genocide. If the press says they are civilians, your plan turns our a nightmare."

NDRA General: "Then we cannot let the press call them civilians, they are terrorists, the perfect key word."

NDAF General: "As i said, this is pure genocide. I'm agains't it."

President Delfos: "Ok, we have your opinion. Let's see other options...like, support the so called terrorists? You know my mother thinks like some of you do. Just because the ideals are different don't mean they all follow terror. Maybe they are actually willing to be ruled by the BSC. And we are considering wrong when say the BSC are terrorists. After all, their political or religious sects never done any harm..."

Councilor Swotten: "This is difficult to be understood by people that come from the south, i agree with you senhor Delfos. But yet, their armed divisions have proceeded to terrorism. They are a threat to our nation."

President Delfos: "Then we can give them a chance to renegade the armed divisions of the BSC, even brainwash people saying they are terrorists and the BSC wouldn't do any harm."

NDAF General: "I like the idea, but might not work. Their Sharia promotes Jihad against threats to their ideals. That's one of the pilars that made them look terrorists."

NDRA General looks down like if showing that won't ever work

Councilor Swotten: "Aren't we judging them a threat to us? Why can't they judge the same way? I would agree on what i just said if they done the revolution else where. The problem is that this territory is national property. They are doing this to us!"

President Delfos: "Well, that can be fixed with agreement. If they agree to leave us in peace we can give them the north of Mahara region as independent..."

NDRA General: "That's giving the bastards what they want! A Land where they can do all their loony ideas! They must be stopped!"

President Delfos: "I'm considering that, but let me finish General."

NDRA General: "I'm sorry senhor President."

President Delfos: "The Mahara region, as independent nation, but controlled by the Delfo-Canadian forces, so they cannot make any inhuman atrocities. Since they have to renegade their 'armed forces' they will need any other to replace the Black Scopion Fighters."

Councilor Swotten: "I like the idea."

NDAF: "I regret loosing a part of our territory, but i also like the idea."

NDRA: "I won't regret because I'm against this!"

NDNF: "I will have to agree with some of the points of the Royal Army General. We cannot loose a part of our territory. Maybe we could speak with the Canadians? They have much more land than we do, maybe we could give them whole Mahara Desert, they would like it..."

President Delfos: "Well, I'm giving you all 5 hours to study the proposals, then we meet again."

*

Kein Swotten: "The population finished the voting. Ayaggen Alqwafar is the new president of Kazjko region, and the new president of North Boyen region is Vladimir Gorbachev. They already arrived here, shall i tell them to come in?"

President: "Sure..."

Gorbachev: "Hello! My president! This room is amasing..."

Alqwafar: "Greetings Mr President.."

President Delfos: "Concerning the tomorrow's voting, i think they will fail the government...everyone against the new councilors will fail the government, including the ones that think ew are not strong enough to end the conflict in Mahara region. How can we stop this?"

Council Alqwafar: "I heard the population is in favor of the revolution as they say it, but I see it as a mad population that wants to abandon civilized world, abandon what Kazjko region spent years to build in Mahara, and Balo Muhaki was a fighting horse for that cause, now he's dead. If we want to stop the voters from failing the government we need to throw our whole efforts for ending the conflict, even if that means we have to put aside the population that supports the revolution. They must fear us, that's the problem, they think the Black Scorpions are stronger, and it's normal that they think that way because BSC has been poisoning whole region, culturally, economically, and politically."

Councilor Swotten: "Wise words, you begin with the right foot in this council."

Councilor Gorbachev: "I will have to agree with my new pal. We have to stop this conflict. Have the Ministry House of Defense said anything yet?"

President Delfos: "They might be coming back soon to show us the propositions. However i don't like the idea of killing innocent. We have to do something else..."

*the defense ministers walked into the room and greeted the new councilors*

NDNF General: "Sir, we have concluded we can't just watch. We have to act into Mahara region, there's new focus of fights all over Mahara, this has be to dealt with in less than a week. We have a proposition that takes 3 days to restore the control."

NDAF Gen: "We can throw in a massacre, using chemical weapons we possess, then blame the BSC for the millions..."

NDRA Gen: "Or we can have insurgent operations in specific points, conquer the areas and throw National Guard to maintain the area."

President: "I like this last one, 3 days you say?"

NDAF: "Yes, but we will have to use armored and aerial support, civilians might be killed but any civilian disrespecting our authority gets jailed until the crisis is over."

Councilor Alqwafar: "I see, and when the crisis is over they see BSC is extint, they will see we are a better option, even if by force..."

Councilor Gorbachev: "I'm all for it! But we will have to ban any representation of the Black Scorpion Clan!"

President Delfos: "No...the religious and social sects must be preservated, but there must be a tighter law agains't it. Why don't we ask council of the canadians to approve action from the Delfo-Canadian Coalition for the preservation of peace in Mahara?"

Councilor Swotten: "I'm all for it."

Councilor Gorbachev: "Well, I'll have to accept it, it's a very good idea."

Councilor Alqwafar: "Yes, do the military agree with this?"

NDNF Gen: "Certainly. Now another issue, Esperança..."

President Delfos: "Ah yes, I expect to evolve the administration into an independent government, just a simple one, having New Delfos military divisions as being theirs, basically is the same thing as it is, they just have more legal flexibility..."
