The Kuvekki Republic was a nation of poverty and clashing ideologies. Protestant Gurai made up most of the population, however a significant amount of people were Islamic. The Islamic peoples had the backings of their neighbors in the Sahara, as well as the backing of a significant amount of nations in the region who were also Muslim. The conflict between the Protestants and the Muslims had long been suppressed by foreign aid money, however recently the Kuvekki Republic failed to gain the funds it needed to maintain this stability. Caronicilia was the main source of foreign aid for the Kuvekki Republic, being an unexpendable trading partner and ally. They were in a sense Kuvekk’s “lifeline” in that they would be there whenever the Kuvekkis needed it, and they held true to this- until recently. The Caronicilian government had found itself involved in war after war recently: The war against Velorya, the war against the Assassination Army, the war against Yshurak, the war against the Seceded south, and the war against the United States. On top of that, they were pouring funds into the GTO, as well as threatening to get involved in even more conflicts. This overspending resulted in the loss of support for the Gurai Commonwealth, and a break in the fabric that held the nations so closely together. It wasn’t long before the conflict between the Gurai and the Saharans rebutted itself. Raids initiated by Saharan peoples took place over long stretches of lands declared “Dangerous,” and acts of terrorism were committed by these raiders against the whites in Kuvekk. Furthermore, foreigners came across the desert into Kuvekk for the sake of bringing down the Protestants. The battle for Kuvekk would soon begin. |

Offical Statement from Khilafah in Madina: Although the war against the Muslims would now seem to come to an end in Kuvekki Republic, it is uncertain if Caroncilia would help to destroy the Muslims there or end the bloodshed once and for all. As of now, Madina will not enter this war, however if the Muslims are further threatened by any party there, Madina will be the first and will not hesitate to bring support from teh Muslim Brotherhood. |

SECRET TO THE Saharan Raiders: It is importantfor us to see you win. That land belongs to the Muslims and it should stay that way. We have developed a plan to help you win this war. However we do not know the area much and need some assistance from you. also for the tiem being , we would like not to be associated with anything that occurs there, so make it secret and fast.

SECRET to Madina: We knew that we could count on our brothers in Islam to help us win our fight against the Kuvekkis who opress us. We gladly accept your offer of aid, and promise a fruitful friendship once we have conquered Kuvekk in the name of the Saharans. We are glad that you can send us aid, and we pledge that we will send guides with your forces to acquaint you with our lands. This "Humanitarian aid" will be expected and taken in by our raiders. Send the supplies to East Uhrn, where our raiders will intercept them and bring return them to our forces. |

The sands of the Sahara came alive as men dressed for the desert inched across on camel-back. They had no use for heavy vehicles when they could ride on more efficient animals, making vehicles such as jeeps rare for the Saharan Raiders. The camels made their way across the desert like ships in an endless sea, tottering up and down amidst the intense heat. Their destination was the Kuvekki outskirt of East Uhrn, the site where Madina was set to deliver supplies. The humanitarian aid trucks could be seen coming across the desert in the distance, driving on one of the Sahara’s few paved roads. It was traveling fast, and was now ever nearing East Uhrn. Mahmoud, one of the raiders, had on his back an AK-47 type rifle, and in his loose clothes were several clips. A bright, clean scimitar lay on his side and it gleamed in the sunlight. He and his partners were instructed by higher-ups not to injure the humanitarian aid workers, and instead pretend to rob him. When they saw the city across the horizon, they all smiled wide grins. “Now my friends,” Mahmoud said to his partners. “We must remember that the aid workers are friends of Islam. We mustn’t harm them in any major way, only enough to look convincing.” Once all the other raiders nodded in agreement, they whipped their camels in the rear and charged at high speeds into the city. Once they got to the impoverished town, they made a point to locate the trucks swiftly. The town was predominantly Muslim, however a large Gurai minority existed. Some members of this Gurai minority were in front of them now. The raiders were not to harm the truckers, but nothing was said of the Gurai. They shot at them, killing a few. Mahmoud rode his camel through the crowd, trampling a little girl and beheading another with his Scimitar. The raiders were brutal. All the whites hid in fear of the Saharans. They proceeded through the town until they reached their destination. The trucks were parked where they said they’d be, and the raiders darted towards them. They approached the drivers, threw them out of their trucks, and drove away. The supplies had reached them. New weapons and tools were available to them. The Protestants would suffer. |

“…and our faithful brothers in Kuvekk- you who have been chained by the infidel and oppressed beneath his feet. You who look into the sky and cry out with anguish and ask if you are forgotten. No my faithful brethren! You are not forgotten. Your time of testing at the hands of the pagans is at an end. Arise, oh Muslim, and shake off your rusted chains! They cannot hold you! I will say it again! They shall not bring you down!” ~Al Qosh-Mahdi in his “Address to the Faithful” The Qosh-Mahdi did little to hide his sentiments in the Kuvekk Conflict. Indeed, some whispered that he had instigated it, but this was not true. While the rebellion of the faithful in Kuvekk certainly on his agenda, he had not expected it to erupt so soon. The Umma was currently embroiled in a war with the pagan Sutekhs. It was inopportune for the rebellion to occur at such a time. However, the Qosh-Mahdi knew that this chance to unseat the secular/ protestant (he sees them as one and the same) Kuvekki government would not come again. His board of business advisors (BANAR) was pushing for the collapse of the state as well. They had their greedy eyes set on the rich posphorus mines of northern Kuvekk and a grateful Muslim regime would undoubtedly be more open to the “trade agreements” they had in mind. The Qosh-Mahdi also knew that it was would be costly to commit half-heartedly in a conflict such as Kuvekk. But he also believed that the tiny Kuvekk government could be toppled without need for regular military intervention. He believed that the Kuvekki Saharan raiders could do the deed themselves given the proper resources. The Umma began to supply arms (AK-47s, RPGs, SMGs, sniper rifles, mortars, etc) to the raiders as well as a few light tanks and jeeps. The Qosh-Mahdi gave orders for the militia groups to aid their Muslim neighbors in whatever way they felt necessary. Finally he began to amass a force of regular troops at the Umma’s southern border. If Caroncilia or other nations interfered, they would follow in suite. |

OOC: Look forward to your involvement, Coshvy. The instability in Kuvekk was causing many to leave the country, and it also caused many others to take up arms and battle for the nations’ future. Whites and Protestants took up arms to fight the threat from the desert, and the retaliation began swiftly. The Kuvekki military sent soldiers and war machines to destroy the Saharans. Bombing campaigns came after only a short while, and soon a total war of sorts was embraced by both sides. Civilian casualties were not only common, but they were preferred- the tragedies that the war had brought upon those living in Kuvekk were immense. Mahmoud Nasref was both a raider and a revolutionary. He’d quickly taken control of the Saharan Raiders, the very group that now struck against Kuvekk. His revolutionaries had so far stolen supplies, killed civilians who were “oppressing the Islamic peoples who rightfully owned the lands of Kuvekk,” and caused a massive panic across the Gurai world. Mahmoud walked through his headquarters in Shirat. The temperature was hot as always, and so he limited his elaborate decorations and generally wore the traditional clothing of Saharan peoples. He was not alone as he made his way across the bridge connecting the infirmary to the gathering chamber- he had by his side two large, armed guards. Mahmoud Nasref, after all, was the most wanted man in all of Kuvekk. Mahmoud was about to give a speech to hundreds of Saharans who’d gathered at his headquarters for the purpose of learning their future. They wouldn’t be disappointed. Mahmoud stepped up to a mahogany podium only to see a huge mass assembled in front of him. They were the oppressed of Kuvekk, the Muslims who had been robbed of their lands many years ago in the scramble for Africa. They were the angry, violent souls who’d been forced into silence by the ever-corrupt white man. In the eyes of Mr. Nasref, they were the future of the very nation that oppressed them. Waiting for the applause to stop, he put some papers in order. Eventually, he raised his hand and an eerie silence overtook the gathering. He began to speak with passion and anger. “People who have assembled here today, you mark the start of a revolution! I bet many of you have wondered for some time now when your freedom will come. Today, I’ll answer that question for you by saying that your freedom comes now. We, your brothers in the Sahara, have noted your struggle for some time now and have officially come to liberate you from your oppressors. “The Gurai think that they can rule the world someday, but it is becoming a more and more distant dream for them. Their warmongering has finally caught up with them- they now live in poverty and hatred much like we have for years. I personally have noted that this time they will not recover, and that we may now retake our homes and put an end to our century long struggle. We are warriors of Islam at your service, and are ready to push the white men out who’ve caused us so much trouble.” At this a cheer came from the crowd, obviously pleased by what they heard. For many, Nasref’s words had inspired them to believe that they’ve have their freedom someday. To them, his words were sacred, representing a hope that had been lost in the crevices of time. And still, he spoke, capturing the hopes and dreams of the spectators. “I am the president of The Saharan Federation. I have come to liberate this land. It is a promise that I vow to keep, a promise that I make not as a politician but as a Muslim. I cannot in good faith break this promise, as you know, or I shall be doomed to an afterlife of hells. My nation gives its full support to the Muslims struggling here. It is a crisis overlooked by the world. We end it now. “As we speak I have ordered that thousands of troops be sent to aid you in your struggle. When they arrive, support them and remember that they are friends. They wish to put an end to your plights and re-invite courage to this land. By the power invested in me, we will walk free!” His words fell on open ears, eager to obey his commands. |

Sahndaq is very concened with this conflict in Kuvekk. I would ask to be allowed to attempt to negotiate a peaceful settlement between the Gurai and the Saharan Federation. If the majority of people in Kuvekk feel as if they oughta live in a Muslim nation, then they oughta: but the Koran says to protect the Children of the Book, not to wage war on them. I beg of both parties to see the truth in these statements and attend a peace conference. -Prime Minister Jakeem Surur Private Transmission To: The Gurai Kuvekki Republicans From: Unkown I operate a small group stationed in Chirondom that would like to see the Christians win this conflict against the Moors. Any aid that we can give is avaliable to you. |

Kuvekk to Shandaq: We share your concern for the conflict occuring within our borders. Our poverse nation has done nothing to merit the hate of these barbarians who strike at us, however, and we must gain our retaliation. If necessary we could describe cases where little children have been killed by beheadings and trampelings! These Islamic extremists have posed a threat that must be answered. We will not let these happenings go unpunished. ----------------------------------------------- Saharan Raiders to Shandaq: We think that our brothers in Shandaq may be slightly misguided regarding this situation. Our brothers in Islam living in Kuvekk represent a conquered peoples from the days of imperialism. You say that majority should decide things but we believe quite the contrary: history should decided these things. Kuvekk sits on Islamic land that was stolen by Gurai animals long, long ago! These dogs have treated us as second class citizens on our own lands, and we now get our vengance! We request that Shandaq sends troops to help our Muslim brothers imprisoned under Gurai idiocy in Kuvekk. ----------------------------------------------- Private Transmission To: Unknown Source From: The Kuvekki Republic Defense Ministry We thank you for your kindness in our struggle against these Barbarians. We request that military aid be given to us so that we may sucessfully combat the Saharans who use terrorist tactics against innocent bystanders. |

The majority of people in Kuvekk seem to wish to be ruled by an Islamic regime. Sahndaq supports their wishes. I suggest that the Kuvekki Republicans make peace with the Islamists to stop further bloodshed. The inevitable is inevitable, and it would be great of the Gurai people to make peace with the Saharans, for the good of both parties. Furthermore, Sahndaq will deploy peace-makers to provide humanitarian aid and try and keep the peace between the Saharans and Gurai. -Prime Minister Jakeem Surur To: The Kuvekki Republic Defense Ministry From: Unknown Right away. |

The Holy Catholic Commonwealth is deeply concerned over the recent developments within the nation of Kuvekk. We implore the people of the region, including the raiders to cease such hostilities and seek more diplomatic measures in solving the problems between your people. Jesus died for our sins so that we could be reborn in his light and live our lives in the glory of God's grace. I can only hope that this conflict will not require the lives of many to find a peaceful solution to the problems at hand. -Holy Reverend Mother Katherine |

Kuvekk to Shandaq Only about 20% of the population is Islamic. Shandaq is just as barbaric as the extremists if they think that the will of 20% should apply to 100% of a peoples. We wish for nothing but peace with our Muslim citizens- it is them who’ve declared war on the Christians of Kuvekk. We will not accept the pro-Muslim peacekeepers into our nation unless Shandaq takes a more moderate opinion on the issue at hand. Kuvekk to The Holy Catholic Commonwealth We wish that peace was possible in these times of troubles. As long as the militants still plague us, however, we have no chance of becoming a peace-time nation again. As our brothers in Christ, we ask that you support us against barbarism and Islamofascism. --------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, the Kuvekki military has mounted a full-on assault against Rishak. Muslim forces have built up around the region to protect the Great Mosque of Rishak, a historic wonder and religious destination for many Muslims in North West Africa, as well as worldwide. |

"This is an outrage. How is this possible? The Great Mosque of Rishak, one of the most historic sites in the Muslim world. A wonder, a site built for knowledge and worship should come under attack?This cannot occur." The Amir of Jihad(Minister of Defense) was quoted as saying. "In that case. I have no other way out except to send troops to help protect that very important site in Muslim Africa." At once, The Amir sent word to the Khaleefah, who was a very important meeting to allow him to send transport planes to the holy mosque to protect it. All he was sending were 200troops, enough to protect the building and its surroundings. |

Unless a truce is formed within 48 hours, Sahndaq will be forced to deploy peacekeepers. -Prime Minister Jakeem Surur *** In Christian Kuvekk, two passenger vessels landed. A few hundred British looking soldiers emerged, led by a man named Christopher Walker, who asked to meet with the leader of Kuvekk. |

News reel from the Holy Catholic Commonwealth..... Today her grace Reverend Mother Katherine called a special session of the Noble Conclave to discuss the situation in Kuvekk. Although the nation is predominantly Protestant the Holy Mother commented that they were still God's children and that they deserved a fighting chance to survive against the vile evils of Islam. The Conclave stood in session for several hours until finally today the members emerged from Conclave building with the Reverend Mother leading them to release this official statement to the press.
Only hours after making her press release from the Noble Conclave building, a force of over nine thousand soldiers was amassed near the military airport with Acropolis, the capital. Master Thomas Poliorcetes, of the House Poliocretes Knighthood told reporters that the honor of deliverying the aid packages fell to him and his HIgh Guard knights. He said that he saw no problems with serpressing any resistance the Islamic community could put up in definace against their act of generocity towards the Kuvekk Christians and hoped to be within their capital within the next three hours. Though no official word has yet to be made by the government, several leads have lead up to believe that several hundred-thousand copies of the Dividian have also be packaged for shipment in an effort to convert Protestants to the true faith. NO official word of the subject has been given to us by the government. OOC: That last bite is true, we're offering this aid package of several thosuand guns, tanks, and ammunition rounds to the Kuvekk Christians in and effort for mass conversion. Every soldier will be equipped with both a Macedonian made riffle and a copy of the Dividian we well as any citizen who accepts our aid. |

WE find this to be offensive. How dare you call Islam an evil that must be stopped? You are just as much the terrorist as those who you claim are evil. This is an outrage and must not allowed to happen. MAdian troops have reached their destination and have safeguarded the Mosque from the war that is breaking out. We do not want war, however if my troops or the mosque we are defending is attacked, we will retaliate with no conditions. Please review your statement before making such a thing in public. It is as if Madina invading new Madina for the sake of it being Christian! It makes no sense. |

I spoke openly about Islam because it is the right thing to do. Over the centuries we have seen what the evils of Islam have done to our world. Dark nations such as Paradise have plague out world with their evils that can only be contributed to deals they've made with Satan himself. We are Christians, the true children of God who have been promised by him to inherit the Earth when the day of judgment comes. Though we are currently in an area of darkness as our holy city, Genesis City is currently shrouded in darkness we know in our hearts that it will one day rise again. Catholicism is the only righteous religion and those who follow it will be reward by God at death. Pagan religions such as Islam and it's followers will only see the fires of hell at death. Thus I refuse to be censored by any nation and will continue to speak the words of God to all who can here it. It should also be known that if any of our transports are shot down while they make their way to Kuvekk that it will be seen as an act of war against our Commonwealth and we will take the actions we deem necessary to honor the lives of those lost. We do not wish war however, we do not wish to spread of evil either. -Holy Reverend Mother Katherine |
