Coups, Counter-Coups, and Annexation
___________

DAMASCUS- The February Coup in Syria, and subsequent conquest of Lebanon went somewhat unnoticed in the rest of the Middle East. Most countries were too concerned with the instability in Iran and the resulting Arab Arms Race to take notice of one tinpot dictator replacing another. But that didn’t mean time stopped in the streets of Damascus. And the violence was far from over.

On the surface, the rule of Queen Assala Nasri was simple: a well-connected spy chief with military connections knocking over the government to install herself as ‘royalty.’ There was more depth however and it was all tied to regional politics. The Syrian Arab Republic, the last vestige of Ba’athism, was guided mostly by its military. They were Arab nationalists with enough weapons to kill anyone who disagreed. For a long time Bashar al-Assad was at their head, brutally ruling Syria as an isolationist state through thick and thin. But the emergence of the Arab Federal States brought a rift to Syria. Much of the military’s upper crust saw the AFS as a new chance for Arab unity, even if it had to be democratic this time. Assad disagreed, unwilling to consider sacrificing his own power. And so the plans emerged. A plot was crafted by some of the younger members of the General Staff.

The military openly overthrowing Assad was seen as diplomatically unsavory, so a new path was needed, General Nasri, Chief of Staff for the Syrian Armed Forces, was the perfect pick. His daughter, Assala was a prominent member of the Syrian intelligence community and was seen as an ideal choice. Many believed she could be corralled and guided. Using her connections, the military suggested their openness to the coup she’d already contemplated before. With her father’s backing, al-Assad and his family were arrested and sent to rot in a MID prison. Assala was elevated to ‘Queen’, and convinced to purge some of the armed forces. Conveniently those in the armed forces most loyal to Assad were also those most opposed to unification with the AFS. Then in the infancy of the United Kingdom of Levant was Operation Unification; the political decapitation and annexation of Lebanon. Already in the works, the overt illegality of the operation was every excuse the military needed to enact its own counter-coup. In May 2024, after just four months on her bastard throne, Assala Nasri was arrested by Syrian Special Forces. The military seized Damascus and announced interim martial law. Baghdad was conveniently warned of all of this. A week into the martial law it was announced that negotiations had been completed and Syria would be integrated into the Arab Federal States.

Syria State would be the fourth in the Federacy, and its 14 Governorates would bring the total count to 51. ANAF forces entered Syria and began to fold the existing Syrian military into their ranks. Three months would be given to prepare and execute democratic elections, at which point Syria would be fully integrated into the Arab States. It was announced Bashar al-Assad would be kept in prison and tried for his crimes. Lebanon, racked with its own turmoil following the Nasri regime, was seeking self-determination. It would be given independence to sort out its own affairs. Baghdad made it clear it had no interest in annexing Lebanon unless it was popularly requested among the Lebanese people.

Much would have to be done to dismantle the dictatorial power the Assad regime had held, but the outcome was clear: freedom and democracy had come to Syria.

_{| Sultan Abdul Hamid III | "Well..."}

_{| Hamid would Sigh |}

_{| Sultan Abdul Hamid III | "As you know there is a current arms race in the Middle East, Turkey is more directed against Egypt but the Galla, an ally of the Sultanate and Turkey since 1900s has seemed to be concerned about your expanding power and has sided with Egypt. This is where international relations go complicated and can lead to misunderstandings. ATMA was a great alliance between us but now Turkey is being forced to one side. The Sultanate is trying to remain neutral regarding this, but as the Galla is getting more closer with Egypt, and as Turkey is against Egypt it has become a mix-up of matters. The ARMA should be more modern I strongly agree with that, but I also dont want the Galla deciding to go full on Egypt's side as if we betrayed them."}

King Talal al-Saud:

_{"And yet if the Sultanate continues to increase their cooperation with Galla, who is knowingly anti-Arab and anti-Islam, the Sultanate will push itself not only away from Saudi Arabia but also potentially from the Persian Gulf Pact members, who collectively represent the 3rd largest economic market in the world and robust military capabilities both individually and collectively...more than the Galla can ever muster let alone contribute to security measures if it wanted to. Yes there is history between Galla and Turkey but there is also history between Arabia and Turkey going back to the 1800s and prior. Galla going to Egypt is a simple pivot because of Egypt's manpower and their positioning of the Suez. The desire of the Galla to acquire the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is to solidify both their positions and demonstrate a chokehold on global trade if matters do not go their way in accordance to their national interests and policy. Ankara. Saudi Arabia possesses the largest deposits of natural gas and oil, of which you need in addition to direct access to the Indian Ocean, of which you also need.}

_{Understanding that the recent pivot of Syria to Iraq may have Ankara rather on edge, think of it this way: through pivoting back to a friendship with Arabia and managing economic deals with the Persian Gulf Pact, Turkey is placed in a much better position than continuing to keep an alliance or partnership of a sizable degree with the Galla, who clearly wants tensions to boil over toward war with Arabia. Not once has Saudi Arabia sought discord or tensions with the Galla let alone Egypt. Saudi Arabia has not done anything but to ensure the utmost security of its own people and the peninsula. Your country is predominantly Muslim Sultan Abdul. How would your people genuinely feel is Turkey is found to militarily support a country who not only despises Arabs but also is clearly growing anti-Muslim. Abdul, you are a Muslim sovereign....hence your title of Sultan. There should be no question where you should place your cooperation further. I do not care for the words, rhetorics, or actions of Egypt as Saudi Arabia has contingency plans such as a Red Sea A2/AD (Anti-Area/Access Denial) framework that stretches from the mouth of the Red Sea to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Egypt is the least of my worries and neither is the Galla."}

King Talal al-Saud would take a sip of tea.

King Talal al-Saud:

_{"The 2014 Alliance between our countries demonstrated recognition of Arabia as the leader of the Arab World and continual leader of the Muslim World in conjunction to bilateral understandings and coordination of policies that are mutual beneficial to both countries. This Ankara pivot to a country that seeks the subjugation of Arabs and the grotesque mockery of Islam is quite abhorrent and it is not a fire that I would play with in any regard. It is within your best interest to really prioritize your security and political commitments to the Galla but the firing of a missile or the firing of a gun will be caused by the negligence of Gallans and their antiquated disillusions of grandiose destiny acclamations instead of the real reality of the current times."}

_{| Hamid straightens his Fez, and thinks about Talal's response...looking at the vast ceiling on the top, then he would look down to the floor. He looks back at Talal and says; |}

_{| Sultan Abdul Hamid III | "I will negotiate to the Gallan officials about the Musilm community in Galla and their foreign policy regarding Muslims King Talal I shall assure that for you. If the Galla does not agree to the Turkish terms I shall take on your side on the protection of Muslims. And also I must remind you, Turkey is not against Saudi Arabia at all, most military buildup is against Egypt. Hopefully the Galla would change its ways, they have been an important and strategic ally of the Turkish, and so has been the Saudi's and hopefully soon the Iraqis and Iranians. I also do not largely support the Gallan expansion in the middle east. I will be heading to Galla after this meeting to make sure Addis Ababa and Ankara are on the same page. The protection of Muslims must be an important policy of the Sultanate, thank you for prompting that subject King Talal. I do not want to outright leave the Gallans, that would be unfair and hurtful, so let us make this meeting as a warning to them, surely they would understand their wrong doing. But also I'm sure Galla's region at Somalia is where most Muslims are allowed to worship God freely."}

_{The Iraqi expansion into Syria does not concern me the at the greatest as long as they keep the region stable and do not attempt to nationalize the Turkish Oil mines and infrastructure there, Ankara shall not intervene. Now, economic deals you say? What is your proposal? Oil will not last forever so perhaps mutual technological research regarding civilian energy and products?"}

l King Talal al-Saud l:

_{"I thankful to hear this from you Sultan Abdul and I am confident as will all Arabs in this Saudi Kingdom and across the Muslim World. Regarding economic deals, you are correct that oil will not last forever; however, what we have realized is that the global transition is to natural gas as well as civilian energy and products with nuclear power plants and solar. I can agree to mutual technological research projects between our two countries in this matter. I can allow for this to happen."}

| ARMENIA COUPED AND GEORGIA JOINS THE UNION - EMPRESS ESFIR ON A HEIGHT |

_{May, 2024}

| On 8th of May, after the meeting between the Armenian President and the Iranian Empress, the Armenian government found itself under a military coup with the President arrested and overthrown. Under the leadership of Onik Gasparyan, who according to secret reports of the Iranian State, was verbed by the Iranian Intelligence Agency soon after the collapse of the SGRI and the Armenian independence. Operation ARMENIAN LIBERTY was quickly incorporated after Gasparyan became the leading figure. After all major political opponents were arrested by Gasparyan, he attended a secret meeting in Tabriz with the Empress in which the Armenian-Iranian Accords were signed that officially incorporated Armenia as a Union-state of Iran. By 14th of May, Armenia and Iran found themselves in unity with some civil unrest happening, mainly due to Azerbaijan being part of the Union as well. The unrest was quickly put down, however, by Gasparyan who has become the Councillor of Armenia.

Soon afterwards, Empress Esfir Diba's public ratings quickly risen going up to 61% from 48%. Soon afterwards, on 17th of May a chain of events happened in Georgia under the leadership of Giorgi Matiashvili, the Chief in Command of Georgian military forces. The Georgian government was overthrown and the military took control of the country, and keeping civil unrest under control, Matiashvili met with the Empress of Iran on the night of 19th of May. It is yet unclear what the conversation entailed, however on 21st of May, Iran and Georgia signed the Iranian-Georgian Accords and unified. Matiashvili became the Councillor of Georgia and on 24th of May, Empress Esfir spoke to the people of Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan as history was being made.

[ Empress Esfir Diba ]: "My dear people, we have made history as we have become one. We have dreamt of this day for centuries, and we have achieved our goal of reunifying. We're a force to be reckoned with, we're a force that connects the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea, a force which will enable greater success for us and the region. We're a mighty nation of mighty people, and we welcome Armenia and Georgia into our prosperous family. SGRI establishment treated you in ways which only you know, but I can promise you that Iran will treat you as equals, as prosperous proud people and I will do all in my might to bring prosperity upon you like you've never seen before!

We're the chosen people of the chosen lands, and we will not fear the unification that will bring us into liberty, prosperity and might. We are strong, we are courageous and we are ready. You're part of the Iranian family now, a family that cares for one another, a family that stands united, a family in which we prosper and in which we rule! You're equals, your culture, pride and beauty will never be taken away, never be shattered and always respected! You're part of my family now, and with all the help of God, may I guide you with light, wisdom and liberty. All I ask in return, is loyalty. Loyalty will give us prosperity, prosperity will give us liberty and liberty will give us strength! May God Bless Our Union, Our State, Our Empire!"

Major projects have already been announced, such as the great railways from the Persian Gulf Coasts to the Black Sea coasts. Such new trade routes will effectively bring Iranian products to Europe faster and bring European products to Iran, and to wider Asia faster, safer and more stable. Iranian Economist, Zahvan Bishar stated that "...with continuous tensions rising amidst the Red Sea and the Suez canal, a new alternative for trade has appeared from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf giving Europe a much safer, securer and better option for trade..." With major projects announced, the civilians of Armenia and Georgia are observing and many political analysts suggest that the next few months will be crucial in terms of how the relations between Armenia and Georgia within Iran form, and how easily or difficult it will be to keep said nations in tact within Iran. |

HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD: INDONESIA AND ISF AGREE TO DISCUSS CEASEFIRE AS FIGHTING CONTINUES

_{As the war on terrorism continued to mount casualties and expenses, the Indonesian government, with the support of its IPDEC allies, continued their heavy bombing runs on ISF positions to inflict high casualties. By May 2, IPDEC forces had gained almost 50 kilometers of land, pushing the Islamic Salvation Front (ISF) to a small coastal village on the opposite side of Java Island to Jakarta. Air Force jets, and for the first time, Bangladeshi unmanned attack drones fired upon the 560-man ISF stronghold, which fell on May 7. By May 9, the IPDEC had crushed ISF resistance to the point where all missile batteries and artillery pieces were seized, and the ISF only existed in small pockets. IPDEC military forces moved from aggressive offensive posture to a semi-aggressive containment posture, aimed at containing, isolating, and defeating surrounded ISF forces. A joint armored force of 7 Leopard 2A7 tanks, 21 MMWT Harimau tanks, and 4 T-14 Armata tanks departed a Jakarta military installation escorted by 450 Indonesian and 50 Bangladeshi troops. The Joint Armored Force (JAF) captured 650 ISF insurgents over the course of seven days, with an additional 350 the next day when a large stronghold was captured. On May 14, an Indonesian patrol force of 25 motorized troops stumbled across an abandoned ISF warehouse. Inside were classified troop movement documents that were apparently thrown into a trash bin. Air force attack jets bombed these troop movement corridors, eliminating 350 ISF insurgents in the process of moving from stronghold to stronghold. From May 1 to May 14, IPDEC forces sustained only 201 casualties, with 670 wounded. The ISF had sustained 1,000+ casualties, with an unknown number of wounded. On May 15, ISF commanders agreed to discuss the possibility of a ceasefire to prevent further casualties or damage.}
