New Medea and Norightsia can no longer call the nation of NeoMacedonia their ally. The King has conciously rejected the magisterium by attacking the good Empire of South Africa. This can not and will not be tolerated. All of our forces and citiznes in Neo-Macedonia have been recalled to New Medea. No further trade with Neo-Macedonia will occur. If the King does not recant his actions within 24 (RL) hours, I shall enter the war against him and his allies. --GQ |

Zulus and Syawlans are victorious in the Battle of Pretoria A successful assault against Pretoria was carried out throughout the last few weeks by almost 5,000,000 combined Zul and Syawlan troops in the largest single campaign that southern Africa has ever seen. The ESA defended with 4,000,000 soldiers. Preliminary casualty reports also suggest this is one of the bloodiest conventional land battles in history. The battle began unexpectedly when ESA raiders near the strategic Klagendorp Pass attacked Zulu reinforcements who were attempting to join with Syawlans at the Limpopo River. THe initial fighting was characterized by brief and bloody skirmishes, and soon both sides began to divert forces from other areas to contest this strategic location. The battle widened over a few days, eventually what can only be described as two massive, disorganized mobs of soldiers spread throughout a 15-mile front were locked in a gruesome infantry battle in the lightly forested areas. Commanders struggled to coordinate the large armies in this violent and chaotic scene; for a few days all battlefield decisions were made by low level commanders out of necessity but eventually the fronts settled and the armies could be coordinated and scheduled in a large scale. For weeks the battle raged on and it was likely to descend into the indecisive trench warfare reminiscent of WWI; the oppsoing masses of infantry were unable to break each others defensive complexes despite several large scale offensive drives. The breakthrough came when Syawlan armor units finally broke through the line near Pluit, supported by Zulu MiG airstrikes. The ESA lines crumbled like a cascade from the hole near Pluit as the Zulu and Syawlan infantry corps repeatedly outflanked and destroyed the Imperial positions. News of the battlefield failure caused a civil war to breake out in the ESA capital, Pretoria between those who wanted to surrender and a faction of extremist Roman Catholics who wanted to carry on the war. Industrial strikes broke out throughout the city; Almost a million ESA soldiers deserted the front lines in the chaos. The ESA government collapsed, with the Emperor fleeing the nation and most Pretorians supporting a surrender. Without much difficulty, ZUlu and Syawlan columns entered nearby Johannesburg and finally stormed Pretoria with minimum resistance. Emperor Felipe abdicates and flees the country The ESA government collapsed upon news of the battlefield defeat outside Pretoria; Emperor Felipe abdicated his throne and fled the nation just 10 hours before Zulu and Syawlan columns reached the suburbs of Pretoria. A helicotper convoy carrying Felipe arrived in Manchuria, where he has been granted asylum by the Trilateral Commission. High Latins carry on the war from the countryside Emperor Felipe's government collapsed but his son, the Crown Prince Robert, has sworn to fight Zululand to the death. Robert and about 40,000 extremist Roman Catholic followers, known as "High Latins," retreated into northwestern SOuth Africa in the chaos and established himself as the new Emperor of ESA in the town of Witwatersrand. Witwatersrand has been declared the new capital of ESA, and Roman Catholic resistance continues to fight the war throughout the strongly pro-Roman western countryside. The High Latins of ESA, in addition to High Latin Zulus who seceded from Zululand, have been waging guerilla warfare against the Zulu government forces, the Syawlans, and the Neo-Macedonians.

OOC: I may order for hostilities between Neo-Macedonia and the High Latins to stop and I may send some troops to help the High Latins against the Schismatics. How would you like this to develop as I remember you telling me your plan but I don't remember the details lol! :lol: |

Steady gains against High Latin heartland Kimberley City, the massively fortified High Latin stronghold guarding the Orange River valley, fell today after a bitterly contested 1 month siege by the Coalition of Zululand and Syawla. The heavily defended city perimeter - characterized by land mines, barbed wire, trenches, subterranean passageways, and stout but high mobile gun installations - successfully held off several Coalition armor assaults and successfully weathered more than 20 days and nights of nonstop bombing. In the end, the sheer firepower of the Coalition armies overcame the resistance, and the fortress-city was pounded into submission. It is believed almost 1,000,000 people - mostly High Latin civilians - perished in the Kimberley siege. The fall of Kimberley City renders the upper Orange Valley completely vulnerable to Coalition attacks, and Coalition commanders have followed up the victory by advancing westward at a breakneck pace; gains of almost 20 miles a day are being made by the Coalition. The momentum that Coalition forces have now after conquering Pretoria and Kimberley City does not seem to slow down. The quality of the ESA resistance is only getting more meager as the ESA's military infrastructure is systematically devastated by the war. It is only a short time before the Coalition troops reach Witwatersrand. ------- In the western countryside, thousands of High Latins have surrendered and have pledged loyalty to the advancing Coalition armies and the African Catholic Church. The most extremist of the High Latins are resorting to suicide attacks and desperate guerilla raids against Coalition forces, but these efforts by fanatical civilians are too little and too late against the Coalition regulars' overwhelming advantage in numbers and equipment. The African Inquisition has arrived in western South Africa in full force, to combat Roman Catholicism and Catholic European influence. THousands of ESA civilians who have refused to renounce Pope Emmanuel II are being burned at the stake, and all of South Africa is ablaze with pyres crowded with High Latins sentenced to death by the Inquisition. After the fall of Kimberley alone, the Inquisition lit bonfires that covered several acres and burned for almost a month, filling the air with the bitter prayers of 300,000 Roman Catholic martyrs and the stench of their burning flesh. |

Syawlan troops have begun easing off attempts at crushing the Latins rebels. This is because of "the need to allow the new government to deal with its own affairs" according to one senior military spokesman. Syawlan troops in the rear have begun re-building fortfied positions in the Limpopo region. |

OOC: Invasion by Holy League would be the logical consequence of African Church's excesses. Menelik will also soon be dead and the Latins can have their revenge under his successor. The "silent majority" of South Africans are going to be sickened by Menelik's extremism, and the next king will be similar to Charles II's reaction against a decade of Cromwell or similar to the Soviet de-Stalinization process after the death of Stalin. IC: Menelik, King of Zulus, proclaims himself King of South Africa Today Menelik toured the former ESA capital of Pretoria, going to several photo ops at war orphanages and showing off his generosity by donating $20,000,000 to local war charities. He visited several neighborhoods before arriving at the Pretorienhuis, the grand Dutch Gothic-style state palace formerly occupied by Apartheid President Sergius DeBruin, Marxist President Josiah Munugoza, and ESA Emperor Felipe. Ascending to the palace balcony, Menelik gave a tear filled and emotional speech recounting the tragedies that have afflicted South Africa for the past generation, and the hardships endured by the South African people. Menelik declared that the end to war is near, and the military successes of the Zulu army will secure a permanent peace for all South African people. He described recent military successes against the High Latins, and vowed to finish unifying the nation and defeat his enemies once and for all. Menelik, then solemnly proclaimed the new Kingdom of South Africa, and was hailed with great applause and acclamation from the crowd below. |

Norightsia does not recognize the heretic Mennelik as the king of South Africa, or the king o the Zululand area. As of now, Norightsia is in a state of war against Zululand, Syawla, and any nation that chooses to aid them. We can no longer withold our forces while God's flock is slaughtered by heathens. As of now, the 500,000 man force of the Knights Matthos are ordered to enter the High Latin-controlled territory and engage all hostile forces. This is a declaration of War. --Emperor Galerius I Quintilianus Holy Roman Emperor of Norightsia |

Unification of South Africa complete The destruction of the ESA and High Latins was completed in a series of anti-climactic military victories in which the vastly outnumbered High Latin guerilla forces were defeated in what can only be described as outright massacre. The High Latins, who are mostly armed civilians, either surrendered or were butchered in the KSA's advance. Witwatersrand, the ESA capital, fell without a fight as traitors from within surrendered the military defense perimeters. Emperor Robert's last stand Emperor Robert's last stand is the only notable moment of the Schism War's closing moments. Outside the village of Owen Town, Emperor Robert and 412 hardcore Roman Catholics retreated to a barn complex where they resisted surrender. Surrounded by over 20,000 KSA soldiers, Emperor Robert and his men held out for about 10 hours, trading small guns fire, before the KSA ordered an all-out assault. Robert and his forces fought bravely for more than 30 minutes, inflicting over 3,000 casualties on the KSA until finally being vanquished. Robert was died anonymously in this battle. All 412 of the High Latin corpses have been crematd to prevent veneration of the Catholic martyrs. Roman Catholics around the world are caling for the canonization of the brave fallen Emperor of Soth Africa. King Menelik proclaims himself Emperor of South Africa King Menelik has issued a state decree proclaiming a new Empire of South Africa that strictly upholds African values and adheres to the African Catholic Church. The national capital of the new ESA will be moved from coastal Durban to the central location of BLoemfontein, from which the empire can be governed more effectively. Bloemfontein has be renamed Adowa, to commemorate the African Ethiopian military victory over the Italian imperialists in the early 20 th century, and to symbolize the South Africa triumph over European influences.
