[19 May 5586]

This morning, the Second Kundrati Emergency began. The Kundrati Legion and the Armed Forces of Kundrati have struck their first blows.
-
The Armed Forces of Kundrati's National Capital Command have been spotted moving around the capital of Kasaema, with multiple battles between Legionnaires, police, and pro-KL forces against soldiers from the NCC and other military units. In effect, the city has turned into a war zone, and the constitutional crisis that has sprung up over the last few years has finally met its climax.
-
Military troops from the NCC, including helicopters and paratroopers, landed in the Presidential Office Building and the house of the President, Bronislav Sladek. A short battle commenced; however, the Presidential Guard and pro-KL forces were easily repelled and quickly surrendered. In the course of events, as the President was getting ready to sleep, soldiers reportedly kicked down his door and grabbed the President and anyone else inside. The President, alongside anyone who was inside the house, was taken prisoner, and military troops were placed outside the POB and the home of the President to prevent Legionaire attacks.
-
However, the attempt to siege the National Assembly did not go well. Soldiers, including three tanks and paratroopers, attempted to storm the NA building and tried to force the lawmakers who were inside debating the merits of the declaration of the state of siege to turn on the President and impeach him for various crimes. However, the paramilitary forces protecting the building began a fierce battle against the military, which lasted for hours. Parts of the building were damaged, with soldiers managing to get inside. However, civilians and paramilitary forces managed to trap them or force them into a retreat. The military troops there were ordered to retreat, and they were moved to other parts of the capital, with lawmakers inside quickly blaming the National Coalition for attempting to perform a coup d'etat. The National Assembly has begun motions to censure their Coalition counterparts; however, the first votes have yet to be conducted.
-
Soldiers attempted to siege the Kundrati Legionaire (newspaper) offices and other national newspaper, radio, and television studios throughout the city. Some of those studios quickly surrendered as they did not have Legionaire protection or protection and could not get there in time. However, most military attacks on the media were unable to get through, as reports of the military being unable to secure the state broadcaster among the Legionnaire newspaper spread throughout the city. While social media is divided in support of the coup, most newspapers and media outlets have decided not to comment, given the confusion over what was happening.
-
Finally, we get to the attack on the Kundrati Legionnaires, the paramilitary that has struck our country within the last few years. They were headquartered throughout the city as the Kasaema Police Department, various sections of the military, and other volunteers of the Legionnaires were a part of the vast paramilitary organization. Many tanks and soldiers were sent to these locations; however, the inability to seize the media, alongside the learning of the fact the President was captured, led to the paramilitary being able to hold off the military advance. The military was forced to retreat many times as high casualties were felt due to the paramilitary being supported by the latest in weapons by the Kundrati Defense Contractors. The Legionnaires established a foothold of several blocks surrounding the Kasaema Police Department headquarters, the Kundrati Legion party headquarters, and various hideouts throughout the city. However, we should note that all transport hubs, such as supplies or reinforcements, were seized during the coup d'etat, preventing anyone from getting in or out.
-
As of now, Kasaema is at a crossroads. The military has managed to set up checkpoints at various streets and avenues, especially near the house of the President and his office building. However, fierce battles continue between the Legionnaires and the Armed Forces throughout many streets in our capital, especially in areas where they have managed to set up as their territory. It is unknown whether the coup d'etat will succeed or not, given these circumstances, or whether or not this will be the "First Battle of Kasaema." In the streets, though, the people have reacted accordingly. Many have decided to arm themselves with their pistols and weapons and joined the fight. In contrast, others have begun to run away from the city or towards various safe areas that they know, like a relative's house or a city bunker. Many buildings, especially in areas with the worst fighting, are already being looted and burnt, with law and order breaking down in those areas and some buildings even being demolished either in whole or in part. Hospitals in Kasaema are currently overrun, with many areas being set up as triage centers, and the smell of dead bodies, burning buildings, and war itself is the smell of Kasaema this morning.

The Kasaema Guardian has been approached by the coup d'etat militarists and has been allowed to be the first publication to publish this manifesto:

Quote:9 JUNE 5586

BROTHERS OF THE NATION! SISTERS OF THE NATION!

Our fatherland has reached a crossroads for which every man and woman shall be obliged to fight for.

Fascist Ordosocialist elements have seized the Government of the Kundrati Union and have reaped nothing more than sabotage of the Kundrati race against the world. The world remains silent as all of the Union fights to save democracy, the rule of law, and the sancity of the human from the Ordosocialist scum that rules this nation.

As of now the Legion has destroyed some of our units who have been, to this day, attempting to restore law and order. These bandits have attempted to prevent the democratic order from being restored to this nation. A nation that has historically fought ordosocialism and fascism wherever and whenever possible, where to the point that the Ordosocialist ideology has only been on the decrease before the existance, and especially before the government of, the Kundrati Legion, who now hold the wings of power.

They have not only seized the property of all persons, including foreign persons, who have gone against them even peacefully, but they have also made forced labor camps and it is very possible that these camps are nothing more than death camps where even foreigners and prisoners of war will only leave in a box. Where shall this terrorism end? Where foreigners will be slaughtered en masse? When the entire Kundrati race will be shattered?

Therefore, dearest brothers and sisters of the nation, we command thee to fight now! The hour has struck that slavery and Ordosocialism will be at an end!

You are called to your recruitment centers, your triage and medical areas, schoolyards, wherever the fight shall be, from the fight on the Terran Wide Web to the fight in the battlefield, you must do everything you can to push back against the Ordosocialist fascist scum that roams our nation!

We must exterminate the Ordosocialist roach that remains!

Let every man and woman do their duty.

[10 June 5586]

The Kasaema Guardian has been approached by the coup d'etat militarists and has been allowed to be the first publication to publish this manifesto:

Quote:9 JUNE 5586

The former President of the Kundrati Union Bronislav Sladek, a traitor to our fatherland, has abandoned his post as unbecoming of his job. His traitorous Ordosocialist hide has been replaced by the traitorous Minister of Defence for whom their name shall not be mentioned and shall be subject to summary execution for his treason to the Kundrati Union.

Given how the rest of the National Assembly, bar a select few heroes, and the rest of the cabinet is also full of Ordosocialist and fascist scum that wreaks our nation to it's very core, we hereby declare that the current Kundrati government is no longer under control of the country and that this government shall be taken over by Mr. Tiberius Claudius Aroain who shall be declared, as of the publication of this statement, President of the Kundrati Union.

We also hereby declare that until the hostilities cease and the death of the Kundrati Legion recognized that martial law shall apply to every inch of Kundrati soil. As soon as the martial law is over there will be new elections which will be pure from the fascist and Ordosocialist scum that has wrecked it. A series of members will be placed into the Cabinet as well to ensure the safety of the country.

The government being led by the Kundrati Legion, and their National Assembly, shall be hereby dissolved and a new one be established immediately with a provisional series of members that shall be appointed at a later time by the President where elections can be held without the Ordosocialist scum that wreaks it.

The Ordosocialist roaches must be exterminated!

Let every person do their duty.

The following declaration was delivered to the public by the Armed Forces of Kundrati regarding foreign persons and the current labor camp situation.

Quote:22 JULY 5586

Our nation has recently been plagued by the slavery that has been forced upon us by the Kundrati Legion on all persons who have rejected the rule of the Legion. This includes foreign persons whom were illegally stolen and kept as bargain chips like the Mafia does with hostages.

The Kundrati Legion has acted illegally and has even tried to repeal the War Crimes Act 5315 in order to legally use their means to torture anyone who they capture into their deaths. Their actions are unbecoming of being Kundrati as a whole, for the Kundrati Union has historically stood up to these crimes and our brave people would have never acted so cruelly upon each other.

Yet today the stain on our honor and on our race remains!

We hereby declare that, on all territory that we control, all labor camps that were formerly operated by the Kundrati Legion shall be liberated. All persons in our territory will be free to move throughout the country, subject to the necessary restrictions in order to maintain security because of the Legion's continued existance, however these persons will no longer be subject to forced labor and to forced torturous practices!

Further we hereby declare that all labor camps under the control of the Kundrati Legion shall be placed upon the control of the Armed Forces and all persons who wish to leave will be allowed to do so without delay or hindrance unless they are a member of the Kundrati Legion or have participated in crimes against humanity!

Further we hereby declare that all foreign persons shall be allowed to leave if they wish without hindrance, and that any foreign person may be allowed to enter and leave the Union as they wish, so long as they do not head in the direction of the Legion or act in the best interests of the Legion! All foreign property shall be released back to their rightful owners and any sale of these foreign properties without the permission of their foreign owners will be revoked and returned back to their original owners immediately!

The Ordosocialist roach must be extermined!

Let every person do their duty.

[24 July 5586]

Within the last few days, the Armed Forces of Kundrati have conducted an operation to liberate several labor camps under the control of the Kundrati Legion. These camps, some as small as a farm and some as large as an arms factory, were protected by Legionnaires who patrolled the area 24/7.

-

The attack occurred early in the morning on two major arms factories and three smaller farms and mining areas, which were being used as forced labor camps for their respective regions. However, in most of these cases, the Legionnaires were tipped off beforehand, and the army units, which did not expect much of a fight, had to battle door to door against Legionnaires and some prisoners who were armed and forced to fight. The army units at the two major arms factories were unable to secure the factories, being stuck outside and taking hours to get inside, as the Legionnaires did their very best to defend the factory from constant assault.

-

The two arms factories were subject to continued bombardment from nearby artillery and air units, which caused much damage to the factories. After spending almost the rest of the day fighting with the Legionnaires, armed with the best equipment, the army could only get through half of the arms factories and were forced to pull back to base. However, in the course of these events, they were able to document many bodies, including mass graves, that were strewn around both from the battle and from the labor that they were forced to perform. Countless amounts of bodies were seen wearing their work camp uniforms, and some of them had clear signs of torture and malnourishment. Photos and videos were taken, and those were taken back to the army headquarters.

-

The attack on the minor mining and farming camps was more successful as there was similar fierce fighting, yet the army captured these camps after around a day's worth of battle. The fighting there included the destruction of various work sites within the camps alongside barracks and the like. Some of these were burnt because of the fight and arson performed by the Legion. A search was conducted after the capture of the camps, which resulted in more mass graves and bodies being found; however, curiously, barely any documents were found in offices. These were also documented for later review.

-

Some of these bodies also had clear signs of execution, like holes in bodies and marks that are consistent with axes or strangulation, though some of these bodies were so old they were skeletons. Such information has been freely released to the Terran Wide Web as documentation showing the atrocities possibly being performed in these work camps. However, the army was unable to recover any survivors of these camps. Unfortunately, it is likely the Legion has managed to kill or relocate everyone in these camps.

[28 August 5586]

The Battle of Kasaema ended with the victory of the Kundrati Legion and their paramilitaries, who, in a major assault on the forces of the Union, devastated the Union forces to the point where retreat was inevitable. An attack on the Presidential Palace, still being held by Union forces, alongside Union-held neighborhoods spread out throughout the city, was overwhelming for the Army whose units were slaughtered. Reports are coming out that around 15,000 Union soldiers have gone missing, been killed off, or were wounded in some way, with possibly more being captured as prisoners of war.
-
This would be a big blow to the Kundrati Union, who now loses their capital to the forces of the Legion. This also means that the ongoing civil war has spread throughout the country as the Kundrati Legion seeks to head south towards where the Union is reassembling on the island of Etxea. On this island, the National Coalition party and the people of the Armed Forces have set up Jildrathi City on the island's eastern shores (where the largest naval base in Kundrati is located) as their new capital. Entrenchments, including booby traps, minefields, and the like, have been and are being set up in various portions of the south, with new defense lines comprising from Venora to Aethansk and from Galensk to Urdaitz being made.

-

These scenes remind viewers of the Kundrati Emergency of long ago, when democratic forces were able to set up similar positions and tactics. In the southern states and communities, the Armed Forces have seized the state governments, and the military has begun to set up conditions to allow them to continue the fight even if the defense lines are overrun. Plans are underway to train civilians on counterinsurgency tactics and how to operate weapons and use various items as makeshift weapons if the scenes of the Battle of Kasaema are repeated. Such training is being ramped up in Aethansk and Venora, with training in other territories focused on building encampments and entrenchments and providing first aid.
