Situation

Background May 2022, Isla Duala, off the coast of East Africa. Isla Duala is the main landmass of a small island group split between two nations currently experiencing severe political tension. The Northern of the two is known as Molatia- a totalitarian regime under the dictatorship of one High General Anwar Bokassa, Molatia relies on an economy of natural resources and land exploitation. To the South is the nation of Afrene- led by the democratically voted President Mengistu Rawlings, Afrene is a popular tourist destination for European citizens. Both nations have publicly threatened the other over land disputes and political insults. Militia groups act against opposing territory with thinly-veiled support from both nations. Whilst Molatia have massively increased their military spending and Afrene does have a small standing military force, both territories have yet to officially declare war on each other. The border between both nations is heavily defended on the Molatian side. The Afrene side is mostly determined by the bodies of water which run around and through the North and North-Western side of Afrene, however there is a friendly-controlled land border on the North-Eastern frontier, as marked on the following image. Current Situation Political leaders in Europe have secured a NATO intervention to enforce peace around Isla Duala. The U.S.S Freedom carrier group will dispatch to the friendly nation of Afrene. Isla Vixena was recently assaulted and captured by Molatian paramilitary forces and will need to be secured before NATO operations around the main island can begin. Once Vixena is secured, friendly forces will assist the Afrene military in securing the Afrene border and routing militia groups from friendly territory.

Friendly Forces Afrene Army Corps, Afrene state-backed paramilitary forces and partisans. Continue reading
