Overview▼

The Aurarian Liberation Front (ALF) is an opposition movement formed in response to the Aurarian Empire's imperial rule. The group aims to dismantle the empire and restore the old kingdom system, believing this would better serve the people. The ALF has been expanding rapidly, particularly in the northern regions of Angola, where they have established control over key cities and surrounding territories, with their base in Huambo. French and Spanish intelligence services have provided vital support in tracking the group’s activities.

Key Figures and Leadership Structure▼

▸ The ALF is structured with a clear chain of command, led by prominent figures within the movement. Unlike many other factions, its leadership includes a mix of former civilians, activists, and disgruntled military officers.

▸President: Lucius D'Barra, Age 38

▸Lucius, a former mid-ranking officer who felt betrayed by the imperial regime, is the leader of the Aurarian liberation front ALF .
He is a charismatic and persuasive figure, known for his passionate speeches and calls for a return to the old monarchy. His leadership is characterized by a strategic and patient approach, working to win over the public rather than relying on direct confrontation.

▸Vice President: Carlos Mendes, Age 42

Carlos is the vice president and one of the more moderate figures within the ALF. Previously a university professor, he joined the movement after becoming disillusioned with the empire's educational policies and economic neglect of the lower classes. Carlos is responsible for the group’s political and diplomatic outreach efforts, aiming to garner wider support.

▸Military Commander: André Silva, Age 35

André is a former military strategist and the ALF’s chief military leader. Though he was once a low-ranking officer, his tactical skills have made him an invaluable asset to the movement. André is known for his brutal approach to warfare and has led several successful campaigns in the northern parts of Angola.

▸Secretary-General: José Rodrigues, Age 40

José is responsible for the internal administration and logistics of the movement. A former civil servant, he quickly rose through the ranks due to his organizational skills. He manages recruitment efforts and coordinates the ALF’s supply chains, including weapons and resources.

Territory Controlled▼

The Aurarian liberation front ALF has managed to take control of several strategic regions in the northern parts of Angola, particularly in the provinces of Luanda, Uige, Malanje, and their base in Huambo. These areas are vital to the group’s operations, as they provide a strong base of support, access to resources, and proximity to the southern border of the Aurarian Empire.

Luanda – The capital of the northern region, it serves as the ALF’s main stronghold and the base of their operations.

Uige – A key provincial capital, which has been used as a logistical hub for weapons smuggling and recruitment.

Malanje – A strategically important city that has become a rallying point for anti-government sentiment and military training for ALF recruits.

Huambo – The main operational base of the ALF, where strategic decisions are made and resources are centralized for their campaigns.

ALF’s Activities and Goals▼

The main goal of the ALF is to overthrow the Aurarian Empire’s imperial government and restore the monarchy. Their activities include:

▸Sabotage and Guerrilla Warfare: The ALF has carried out several sabotage operations against imperial military installations and key infrastructure. They rely heavily on guerrilla tactics to undermine imperial authority in the northern regions.

▸Arms Smuggling and Recruitment: The group has established a network for smuggling weapons across borders from sympathetic regions and has recruited local civilians, as well as former military personnel.

▸Political Outreach and Propaganda: Through underground media channels, the ALF has spread its message, calling for a return to the kingdom and greater power for regional leaders.
-------------

Funding and Support▼

The ALF is believed to have received financial and material support from outside sources, although the exact origins of their funding remain unclear. They have cultivated relationships with various sympathetic groups in Transvaall Akzvoria and other parts of Africa that share their opposition to the current Aurarian Empire.
------------

Intelligence from France and Spain ▼

French and Spanish intelligence agencies have been instrumental in providing detailed reports on the ALF’s operations. These agencies have infiltrated several cells within the group and have helped the Aurarian Empire track its activities. The intelligence gathered suggests that the ALF is preparing for a major offensive in early 2025, with a significant buildup of recruits and weapons.
-------

Conclusion▼

The Aurarian Liberation Front is a growing threat to the stability of the Aurarian Empire, especially in the northern territories of Angola. Led by Lucius D'Barra and supported by a dedicated team of military and civilian leaders, the group has managed to gain substantial ground and continue its efforts to destabilize the empire. Continued monitoring and cooperation with France and Spain will be critical in countering the ALF’s actions and preventing further escalation.

On 2:00 PM GMT, Wensday December 4, 2024 we were the victim of a cyber attack by a malign actor who had gained access to our map.

We are currently undergoing proactive measures to quickly restore the map to its proper state and are currently retaliating as appropriate.

This attack was committed by hammerford/navoj dazpoly, for reasons that are currently unclear.

This was a painful attack on Africa and on our citizens from someone we believed to be a friend.

Among those targeted by the attack include but were not linited to: Akzvoria, Mesothallania, Lunar sand, Jiuzhou, The Nebraska Republic, and Russian Socialist Federations, among others who had smaller pieces of territory ripled away.

Trust us when we say our first priority is getting you back on the map ASAP.

This is bizarre and unexpected behavior given that Hammerford was friendly with Transvaall, I, Bro Kinaba, personally gifted him a copy of HOI4 to help with war modding, and Executor Mombombu graciously paid their own money to upgrade him to NationStates Premium.

The hope among the staff is that his exit will result in an end to the slowdown of the war modding process.

If you have any information about the motive or means by which he conducted this attack on all of us, please contact the mod team.

The saltiness from hammerford is insane, just childishly bashing the region on other message boards.
