Discontent in Pabeus prompts KRGC deployment.

October, 5700

KRGC Paratroopers prepare to deploy to assist government officials in Pabeus.

In the wake of attacks on Kafuri tax collectors in Pabeus, the King has ordered the deployment of the 3rd Airborne Brigade of the KRGC and the Ashker Border Security Battalion, based out of Kakzar. Over the past several years the situation in Pabeus has grown increasingly problematic according to the Supreme Security Council's own rare public reports. The King has tasked Brigadier General Adnan al-Mahmudi of leading the operation, an officer of the Kafuri Royal Guard Corps and Colonel Altan Bayraktar, the head of the Ashker Border Security Battalion, acting as his second in command. The focus will be collecting required taxes from a number of areas where Kasraj's control is tedious at best. In recent years, and despite attempts by the Society of the King and their allies, the Organization of Ahmadi Scholars has grown in popularity in Pabeus. This trend has worried many as Kafuristan has largely rendered radical Ahmadi groups such as the Ahmadi State in Majatra (ASIM) and Ahmadi State in Kafuristan (ASIK) ineffective in both recruitment and operations. A combined front of government-backed support and military intervention has forced these groups largely underground but the presence of OAS presents a serious political issue.

Regime watchers have cited the cautiousness in which the Majali family has handled the OAS has kept it from exploding, while others such as the leadership of the General Intelligence Directorate, wish to crush it outright. Sources close to the Majali family have stated that the "tolerance" of the OAS is done to prevent it exploding and leading to an outright crisis in Kafuristan and potentially the wider Ahmadi world.
