Situation

Background Information
UN FORCES HAVE FINISHED CLEARING THE LAST OF THE INDEPENDENT LIBERATION FRONT’S MAKESHIFT BASE IN THE VICINITY OF RAFADA. FOLLOWING THE BATTLE, THE REMAINS OF THE CCDF HAVE RELOCATED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION TO THE SOUTH. THE SITUATION IN RAFADA APPEARS TO BE STABLE. WE HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS THAT THE TOWN OF KAMA HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY FAMINE AND DISEASE AND BEEN THE TARGET OF RAIDS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEKS. FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE TAKEN THE DECISION TO RELOCATE THE POPULATION OF KAMA TO ELSAVILLE, WHERE TEMPORARY UN HOUSING HAS BEEN SET UP FOR THEM. THE UN COMMITTEE DIRECTING THE OPERATION HAS SET OUT THE NEXT OBJECTIVES FOR OUR FORCE.

Enemy Forces
THE INDEPENDENT LIBERATION FRONT REMAIN IN THE AREA. THEY ARE A GROUP OF ARMED RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO ARE OPPOSED TO ANY FOREIGNERS AND THE UNITED NATIONS. THEY APPEAR TO BE PROSELYTISING IN THE REGION TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO JOIN THEIR GROUP. THE UN COMMITTEE HAS AUTHORISED OUR FORCES TO ATTEMPT TO ARREST ANY MEMBERS OF THE ILF. ANY ARMED RESISTANCE CAN BE MET WITH EQUAL FORCE. ATTEMPTS SHOULD ALSO BE MADE TO IDENTIFY AND TRACK DOWN THEIR LEADERSHIP. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, MANY PEOPLE CARRY WEAPONS WHICH ARE LEFT OVER FROM THE CIVIL WAR OF 1975-2002. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO FIND A GOAT HERDER OR TRAVELLING MERCHANT ARMED WITH AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE. THIS DOES NOT MAKE THEM OUR ENEMY. WE ARE HERE TO PREVENT CONFLICT, NOT CREATE IT. USE CAUTION AND SOUND JUDGEMENT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DISARM ANYONE. WE SHOULD ONLY DO THIS IF WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ALLOWING THEM TO BE ARMED POSES A DANGER TO US OR OTHER CIVILIANS.
