Elsewhere the World remained the same, with economies now dictated by resources and the fact that now Nations based on either location or shared history were now in existence. The United Nations was now a vital place as each powerful entity tried to get an advantage over the other. As 2020 began with these nations being created almost after another the year before, it was to be a new era of political intrigue.

1st January 2020

 

Juba, South Sudan, African Democratic Federation

 

Reports were coming in of incursions by small groups of fighters supported by the other nation in Africa, the African Islamic Commonwealth. The historic dispute over the area of Abyei was still present, with both nations trying to gain an edge over the other. The African Islamic Commonwealth owned the territory, using it to funnel infiltration squads over the border which was now heavily militarised.

 

The Day would end with a clash between the intruding force and a local patrol, forcing the incursion back across the border. This would provoke a diplomatic uproar, further heightening the pressure of the situation.

 

 

Slavic Federation/Afghanistan Border

 

The War which had plagued Afghanistan since 2001 had been over for nearly two years, with a West Friendly Administration still fighting an Islamic Insurgency which had been revived by African Islamic Commonwealth funding. It was widely known that Afghanistan would fall under AIC rule eventually, however the North American Federation still held a base in the South of the Country which was to be evacuated under the NAF timetable of Early 2020 withdrawal.

 

However this area was a hotspot for cross border incidents. Several explosions would rock the border area, with car bombs targeting military outposts. Angry protests would be made from Moscow to the AIC Capital Cairo, which would be received with alarm from both the Chinese Commonwealth and the Western Powers. 

 

 

The final event of this day would be a Declaration of Alliance signed in London between the European Federation and the North American Republic called the Atlantic Pact, evoking the Historic Atlantic Charter signed nearly Eighty Years before (August 14, 1941).
