OOC: In-fghting between members of the Holy League, i.e: South Africa and Syawla, must stop immediately. Otherwise, Pope John XXV will be forced to take action (although, because of doctrinal reasons, he will most likely side with Syawla against South Africa).

I would like to announce to you that Le Congo Leopold's expansion is going quite well. Though we have encountered many challenges, including a small force of rebels that seem to be supplied by another African nation, the annexation is going well. We have been greeted as liberators throughout the lands we have entered. The residents of the areas have been quite interested in the Covenant of the Adoration of Saint-King Leopold, and we have been gaining converts along the way. The Force Publique has also been growing steadily with volunteers from the areas that Leopoldan forces have entered. Truly this is a happy time, both for the residents of the Southern Congo and for the citizens of the rest of Le Congo Leopold.

--Ruega Mtisi, Official Government Advisor & Aide to Kurtz

OOC: I've made a note of your rebels, Filo, and I refer to them in the post. I will assume that they will cause Le Congo Leopold trouble in the South.

Dr Camizu is going to send a small group of snipers, unofficially and with no identifying marks, into the region of the Congo where Leopoldian and rebel forces are fighting. The snipers are involved in an elite sharpshooting training program, and will be using the Congo as a training ground. This is a strictily unofficial and illegal program, and Camizu will deny any involvement if any of these snipers are caught.

I'm not sure they are really on any side. They're mostly just practicing on anybody they get the chance to fire at.

Generally, they will pick targets in this order: rebel, civilan, Leopoldian. So I guess, your side, but since your soldiers might provide the best practice for this elite program, they aren't really on any side.

Simply put, they will work with your Leopoldians and take out rebels and civilians. However, if one your soldiers makes a really good target for a tricky shot or something, then that would be a shame, wouldn't it?

And yes we are both in the Order. Hence, this is not sanctioned by the government.

OOC:

Well, they aren't recognized by the government in any way, so if they were caught firing on Leopoldan soldiers, they would be put to death by the Camizuan government, or by the Leopoldan one, with consent of Camizu.

Basically, Camizu figures that the Leopoldan army can lose a few soldiers, in the first case. In the best case, an area in conflict is a great training ground.

I'm going to soften some of above statements. This won't be indiscriminate killing, so they won't target Leopoldans if not necessary. But if the Leopoldans are in the way for whatever reason, they won't hesitate.

I suppose that's a bit better...

Still, I think it would make a cool RP if they "unofficially" met with the LCL government and "unofficially" worked with LCL to kill off the rebels. But its your decision.

Well, thts a good idea. There's not reason why it couldn't happen. Perhaps they could start out doing whatever, and then the government could find them, work out a deal, and essentially co-opt them for the duration of this operation?

Official Leopoldan Press Release

I have some wonderful news for the international community! The annexation of the remainder of the Congo by Le Congo Leopold is going smoothly! We have brought the light of Civilization to forty towns and villages, and, as we speak, the Force Publique is engaged in showing another village the wonderous benefits of being a part of Le Congo Leopold. We have also found a new source of Ivory. The wonderful news pleases Saint-King Leopold, and he is smiling down upon the Earth. I would like to thank once again the nations who saw fit to recognize our glorious task.

--Ruega Mtisi, Official Government Advisor & Aide to Kurtz

Deep in the Congolese Jungle

General van Schmeckebier smiled when he heard the press release. He knew that Mtisi was referring to him when he talked of "showing another village the wonderous benefits of being a part of Le Congo Leopold." His smile became unpleasant as he thought of the tools they used to convince the village that they should join Le Congo Leopold. It was a relatively large village, and it, along with a few foreign nationals, had decided to hold out against the inevitable Leopoldan advance. They were merely a slight disturbance, though. The Force Publique did not allow itself to be stopped by a few pitiful tribesmen and a bunch of reckless foreigners. They would soon crack. They had been beseiged for three weeks, and van Schmeckebier made sure that nothing got in or out.

He reached for his radio, and called for air support. Suddenly the sky was alive with bombers, all aiming at the unfortunate village. He began to laugh as he saw the bombs explding, flattening most of the village. After the bombing was over, a white flag went up inside the village. He called for a cease-fire, and a ragged line of rebels filed out with their hands up. He had them searched for any additional weapons they might be carrying, then he marched them into the woods. They stood in a line with their hands on their heads, terrified. Van Schmeckebier walked along the line inspecting them.

"Fire." he said quietly. The bullets flew out before the rebels could run. They fell dead almost immediately. "Bury them," ordered van Schmeckebier brusquely. he smiled to himself as he walked back to headquarters.

OOC: Now, of course, other countries don't know about the atrocities happening in LCL, first of all because most of it is happening in deep jungle far away from anything, and second of all because the Leopoldans cover it up very well. So don't start posting outraged tirades about how evil LCL is for this war crime. As far as you know, it didn't happen.

Deep in the Congolese Jungle

The Force Publique marched down the main street of the town. A loudspeaker blared out a monotonous message in French and in the local language: "We represent Kurtz. Obey, and you shall be rewarded. Resist, and you shall be punished." A man popped out of a window along the street and shot at the soldiers. He died almost instantly, shot in the head by a Leopoldan soldier. Another village had decided to be unwise, and resist the unstoppable force of the Leopoldan advance. Van Schmeckebier was glad. He would enjoy himself. They have chosen to be punished, he thought, and I shall relish doling it out to them. He took out a megaphone and began to speak: "This town is no longer under Kurtz's protection. I can do nothing for you now. You had your chance." The soldiers knew what this meant. They broke file, and began to shoot wildly in all directions. A woman ran out of her house screaming, carrying a small wailing child. The soldiers shot her through the heart, and decapitated the child. They cut off the right hands of both victims, so that they could be presented for a reward. They left the bodies bleeding in the mud. Two old women were burned alive in their hut, while pathetically struggling to make it out. One got to the door, but the soldiers of the Force Publique shot her in the legs before she could get out. Van Schmeckebier allowed the entire town to be destroyed, but for one house that he took as his headquarters. He put the decapitated heads of the villagers on stakes around his house, calling it his "picket fence." But it not only served his own sick purposes: the town was a sacrifice to Saint-King Leopold. The souls of the villagers would ascend and become slaves on Saint-King Leopold's rubber plantation, working for Him for all eternity. Van Schmeckebier felt a moment of piousness, and then planned what to do to the next town.

Official Leopoldan Press Release

I bring to you good news: the peaceful repatriation of the rest of the Congo is going smoothly. The Force Publique was greeted today by cheering crowds in three small villages. They have brought food to the starving, medicine to the sick, and relief for the poor. We have built infrastructure in areas that were once impenetrable wilderness. Kurtz is pleased with the progress, and is happy to see his new subjects so prosperous.

Neo-Macedonia is disgusted with the lies from Le Congo Leopold. To allow them to spread their nation's evil past their old borders and into new ones is a mistake Africa will have to pay with in blood. Neo-Macedonia will never forget those lost in the evil of Kurtz's nation and now that I have reemerged as Queen I will ensure that my husband's dream of defeating the evil is seen through.

We strongly condemn such unacceptable inhumane treatment. The United Nations as a whole cannot and will not accept such awful behaviour. We, as the new UN Delegate are asking for an exceptional summit of the UN Security Council which will convene to try to discuss the possible consequences that could be imposed upon the regime that is in place in Le Congo Leopold.
The regime there has a record of gross violations of human rights and non-compliance with international law procedures and their behaviour and actions will not be in total impunity.
We ask upon our African allies and partners to stop trading with such an unworthing regime and call upon them to pursue the isolation of Le Congo Leopold.
