Romula liberated: the Free State is no more!
The leadership of the southern puppet state fled the country after their Armed Forces fell apart while Quanzar forces fortify their positions on the borders and the brutality of Ahmadi foundamentalists against Istalian civilians increases

ROMULA - After just a couple of months of rapid advance of the Imperial Armed Forces, facilitated by spontaneous rebellions in most of the cities of the Fidelia region, which in practice constituted the territory of the puppet government of the south, by the action of Resistance cells long established in the territory and above all by the dismemberment of the Armed Forces of the Free State of Istalia, they have taken control of the entire southern part of the Peninsula and have finally entered Romula today, former capital of Istalia, where what was seen in Faro and in the other liberated cities was repeated: tens of thousands of people who poured into the streets and squares to celebrate the liberation and welcome the troops arrived from Alaria.
The Italian Armed Forces in this first phase of reconquest of the Peninsula have encountered, as mentioned, a laughable resistance and the only real armed clashes have taken place in Ingona and Bescara, where the meager forces still loyal to the Free State have covered the escape of the very last troops of Pontesi, who remained in the country as military consultants, a certain number of Pontesian civilians, various fixers and industrialists, as well as part of the leaders of the Free State together with numerous civilians who, having collaborated with the puppet government, fear for their fate.
If the recovery of the south has seen practically no bloodshed, as independent analysts and the Defense had predicted, the liberation of the north of the Peninsula will certainly see the level of clashes intensify.
In fact, while Imperial troops entered Romula, Quanzar's Armed Forces began fortifying positions along the border with the Free State while the fundamentalist Ahmadi Militias carried out a series of raids to destroy the main communication routes between the south and the north, but not only.
Worrying news of retaliation against the Istalian population are starting to emerge despite the blocking of internet network and communications, a measure implemented to prevent the proliferation of news from the south and to hinder attempts at coordination between the Istalian Forces and the resistance cells in Quanzar, where the repression against suspected collaborators of the Resistance and in general of the Istalian population has been very harsh and in many cases extremely brutal. In recent months the situation has worsened drastically and among the news that has caused the most sensation is that of the shooting in the central Piazza di Neflone of Castiell 'e Sciorenza of 17 civilians and 2 former gendarmes accused by the militiamen of belonging to the Resistance or of having collaborated with it.
Unlike what happened in the Free State, in Quanzar the Government of Kafuristan continued to send money and military equipment for years, the presence of the Ahmadi fundamentalist militiamen oppressed the population with fear and terror and the greater resources available allowed the establishment of an efficient secret police that represented a real problem for the Resistance in establishing operational cells in the north of the Peninsula, not to mention the numerous kidnappings and subsequent disappearances of hundreds if not thousands of people, actions that affected politicians, former soldiers and policemen, university professors, activists and also numerous members of the Aurorian clergy, including the bishop of Terebbìa, of whom there has been no news for twelve years and it is presumed that he was assassinated.
It is certain that the so-called Grand Emirate of Quanzar will have to face the determination of the Istalians and the new Imperial Government and the opinion of experts and analysts is virtually unanimous on the fact that the authorities of the Emirate will hardly be able to counter the Istalian advance and above all will hardly be able to continue to keep at bay the almost 73 million Istalians under their yoke.
