Unrest in Chernarus, American Involvement Suspected 

Soyuz News - October 1st, 2019

 

Reports of fighting in the Autonomous Oblast of Podagorsk today were confirmed by Soyuz News, as well as a series of sporadic incidents in the eastern region of Chernarus involving the Chernarussian Defense Force. The so-called “Red Guard” is believed to be the source of much of the violence, which is believed to have claimed at least 30 lives in Podagorsk alone. The reports of fighting in the rest of Chernarus are being downplayed by the government in Chernogorsk, with the Konanov government refusing to release any causality figures. Sources within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also concerned of possible American involvement in the area, along with the fleet of warships the United States has stationed off the Podagorsk coast.

 

The current incarnation of Red Guard, the terrorist organization that is believed to be involved in the fighting, is a far-right ultranationalist group that appears to have little issue with indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population of the region. This is a far-cry from the previous group that operated under the name, which was a socialist resistance movement attempting to restore democracy to the region, before being crushed by CDF and NATO forces in 2016. The sudden appearance and violent nature of this group has led many to question its origins, and whether it has foreign backers. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated they have begun an investigation into this new Red Guard, but the FSB might be ahead of their colleagues at Smolenskaya-Sennaya Square. An unnamed senior source in the FSB has told Soyuz that they have been tracking suspicious movements of American Special Forces in the area, as well as possible CIA agents making contacts with local residents and offering bribes to report disinformation. The same source also said there were concerns about American forces attempting to establish the Red Guard as part of a false-flag operation as an excuse to become more involved in the region.

Soyuz News has made repeated attempts to interview officials of the Konanov government to get answers about the current crisis, but each attempt has been flatly rejected. Instead, our reporters met with locals in Podagorsk to uncover what has been occurring. Sharapov Georgiy, a member of the town council of Protvino, told us that shortly after the fighting began, he saw several helicopters flying in the area, one of which he firmly identified as American. “You could hardly miss it,” he said describing the helicopter, “it was the size of a bus!” Sharapov also said he saw it come from the direction of several loud explosions before it continued towards the sea. The true involvement of America in this crisis is not known at this point, but suffice to say it is far more than the simple “investigation” of the attack on their official that the Moore government has been claiming.
