African Mobalizations

Recommended Posts

Mandalore condemns this move. It is one thing to war upon another nation to remove colonies that potentially disturb the peace, but it is completely another thing to invade simply because you do not like their government type. Such can only be called 'quashing sovereignty'. Italica owns no land outside Africa, thus there should be no war.

OOC: Is it true that Italica has no land outside of Africa, right?

--Private to Italica--

We wish to let you know that though we cannot go against our allies militarily, you have our sympathy, such as it is, and your ships may pass through Mandalorian waters should it be needed.

That is true. My own understanding is Italica originally wanted to RP in Italy but Junio Borghese was already there. So Italica moved to another part of the world that at elast had some sort of RL Italian legacy: Somalia, which a major portion was a RL Italian colony until 1960. The only other former RL Italian colonial territories were Eritrea and Libya - neither which were available.

I personally think it is interesting RP that both Italian states have decided to focus some RPing material around Somalia.

Thank You. We hope you will be able to prevail upon your Aphrike Treaty allies to cease the provocative statements and any future aggressive actions against the Kingdom and its territory of Bosaso?

We would also be interested in your views regarding the protection of the sovereignty of Bosaso from future threats? Keeping to the spirit of the agreement we had arrived with you and other nations of NAPO, we would much prefer that Bosaso not be heavily militarized, as that would only impede its primary function as an industrial enclave. If however UMS signs a treaty guaranteeing the Cochin sovereignty over Bosaso, we would be much more assured.

OOC: Sorry about that Cochin.

IC:

We do not see Bosaso being a colony, and as such wouldn't support any movement in removing it from the continent. As such, we would advocate for sovereignty over it, though perhaps in order to come to an agreement concessions would have to be made, but as is such with the diplomatic process. We are not sure, at the moment, if it is wise to sign such a treaty given the current climate, but you have our word of avocation and you can take that as you may. However, we do not disown the idea of a treaty in the very near future. We will, of course, stay in touch.

We understand and respect the UMS rationale in this matter but we must also make our concerns clear. Today we see nations of an alliance declaring wars on two nations, each nation denying accountability for what its ally is doing and vice versa. What assurance do we have that one of your own allies, some of whom have been making the very same belligerent statements which unfortunately made us re-militarize Bosaso would not launch attacks on us and you would remain aloof? You cannot expect us to leave Bosaso undefended if we do not have assurance that UMS would guarantee its safety from the adventurous tendencies of other nations in the region, including your own allies.

Hence we request UMS to issue a definitive statement regarding this issue.

Cochin has Mandalore's promise that Bosasa will not be harmed by Mandalore's military, unlikely as it was in the first place.

While we are glad to have this assurance, we must inform you that the Kingdom of Cochin does not consider Mandalore a credible military threat of any order. Defense against you can be mounted quite easily by our regular Border Guards Brigades, the Bosaso City Police and the Battalion of 10th Infantry Regiment permanently based here. We had bigger threat perceptions in mind in requesting UMS assurance.

If Carthage was to attack Bosaso, you would know it ahead of time. Specifically a declaration of war and instigation of diplomacy before military action.

Which is why we said it was unlikely. :D As much as it may seem opposite sometimes, we are very much at our senses here. We would not go to war even if our allies did.

== FASCIST REGIME OF ITALICA ==

Grand Council of Fascism - Department of Foreign Affairs

From the Omega Imperium to all Italian TV channels...

<< Comrades of the Grand Council and of the Party, Blackshirts of the Revolution and of the Fascist Legions, Italians and Somalis, friends of Italica over the mountains and over the sea, pay attention to my voice. This is probably my last speech as your Duce, but you will not hear from my mouth words of defeat. I will not give you illusions, my friends. We face a powerful military force and no one will dare to take the field to defend us. It is a reality that we have accepted, it is a question we must resolve alone. We have little chance of winning, but we can inflict upon the enemy, before falling, deep wounds that they will not easily forget. They come for one purpose: to destroy Fascism. Men can fail, be killed, but the Ideal is bullet-proof. And when they realize that is an entire People to be jealous guardian of the Ideal, their war against Fascism will become a war of extermination. The world will not allow it. Only God can break the Fascist will, men and things never.

I love my Country and I love my family. For both I’m willing to deliver myself into the hands of our enemies. The life of my People in exchange for mine. If Fascism is a criminal organization, as our enemies think, then I'm the head of this criminal organization. If you want to punish the Fascism, I am to be punished. This is my offer on the table of peace. My life was always at the service of the beloved Italian People and I am ready to serve it with my blood, at the expense of my public shame or death. But our enemies, who don’t know what Honor is, will prefer to unleash their armies against us. So may God be with them, because we will fight them inch by inch, never giving in, never giving up. The mountains of Italica will be the grave of their ambitions. When the bell of Destiny rings, I will be in command of 190,000 Black Shirts and with them I will march toward death or victory. I thank the Nations which wanted to show their friendship to our People in this dark hour, and still I urge them to use all their influence to prevent these terrible events. I ask them to send us their best weapons. All Nations that have permanent representation on the soil of Italica are allowed to evacuate their staff.

No true Italian, no real Fascist has to fear the future. Now it is night, but tomorrow will be the day >>

=== CLASSIFIED ===

An hour later, deep in the Eagle’s Nest…

<< My Duce, DEFCON 2 is operational, all the Legions are ready for combat. We have also issued the order to evacuate the cities and declared the Martial Law >>

<< Well, Fieldmarshal. I want all the Legions available to take position in this area...in the north >>

<< But Duce ...the beaches ...the cities...>>

<< We are outnumbered. We must force them to play where we want us and with our rules. And we want every ridge, every valley and every throat of these mountains to be a trap. Focus our 190,000 legionnaires here, in a circular array around the Nest. Put thousands of mines on each pass, and our infantry, divided into small groups, will hit the enemy with swift and precise actions >>

<< A guerrilla, my Duce. But we are surrounded ... so we will not have escape routes >>

<< We must not flee, but keep the positions. We must be fast and invisible like ghosts, take them behind with targeted raids, disrupting their lines with operations of sabotage. The network of bunkers that we built will serve the purpose. We’ll dig caves on the slopes of the mountains...there we’ll put tanks and use them as artillery >>

<< Excellent, Duce. But they have helicopters…even camouflaged, they can destroy those caves and our tanks with them >>

<< For this reason, Fieldmarshal, we’ll need all anti-helicopters weapons we can find…>>

<< Yes, Duce. We’ve received fantastic rifles and instructions to build IED and IEFPM from NoD. We’re not alone >>

<< We are alone, Fieldmarshal. Send a message of thanks to NoD…and tell them I would ask a personal favor...to welcome my family within their borders. If they accept, my wife and my two children will leave Italica with the Omega Imperium immediatly >>

Regardless of the length of time, Italian rule in Somalia has been the most stable and peaceful government authority seen in the territory in two years.

In Somalia? We cannot argue that. Any rule would suffice to replace the previous administration's rule under Mad Dog.

We tried already and we succeeded where others have failed, where there was nothing but sand and lawlessness, now there is a civilized society.

We find it incredibly hard to believe that in two months you could build up the infrastructure of a third-world region to a fully civilized region. Perhaps the projects are in effect, but you cannot claim it to be civilized when there hasn't been enough time to actually see the end-effects.

Before your airstrike, somali children and women had access to one of the most advanced clinics of the region.

We do not know what you speak of. They never reached their designated fail-safe positions, which is standard UMS protocol before launching a deployed operation. Never did we actually launch the raid, which leads us to believe that the Somali Italian government committed this grievous act. As such, before Somali Italian government members of Italian ascent leave the country, they will be subject to investigation for the murder of their own citizens as we also convene with Carthage to try and determine what was the actual source of these bombings you claim.

Unless they can reach the safety of our Mogadishu enclave, where we will evacuate any and all Italians requesting asylum.

Transvaal is also closing the airstrip (since we control half the runway) to all non-Italian or non-Transvaal air traffic.

An Aer Lingus 757 is in Mogadishu as part of its regularly scheduled Johannesburg-Mogadishu-Glasgow route. It has been grounded the past few days due to hostilities and unsafe skies, but will now be departing Mogadishu for Johannesburg. It is offering free service to any Italian citizen that wishes to flee. We are alerting Aphrike Treaty forces that this is a civilian aircraft and firing on it would be both a war crime and declaration of war against the Tahoe Republic.
