Day of Poison

With the world distracted by escalating global tensions, the Radical African National Front (RANF) has been silently growing its influence in Akzvoria and Cobra Sahara. Operating largely unchecked, the group has been festering in the regions of Tabaqah (Cobra Sahara) and Ahwar (Akzvoria), spreading from those areas like a web, where government intervention has been minimal since their initial attacks. Over the last few months, the RANF has evolved into a more aggressive and brutal organization, adopting a strategy of fear, coercion, and violence, reminiscent of their past extremism.

Recent reports indicate that entire villages and settlements in southern Akzvoria and Cobra Sahara have been raided and attacked over the course of several weeks. An estimated 84 people have been killed, and 46 more are missing, presumed kidnapped for recruitment or worse. Propaganda posters, riddled with anti-government rhetoric, have begun appearing like a plague throughout the southern regions of the countries, inciting fear and promoting their cause. The RANF is once more waging a war of terror; they are emboldened, with their propaganda visible across both nations, urging citizens to either join their cause or face the consequences.

The most shocking and horrific of their recent actions culminated in a coordinated series of chemical gas attacks on university's across multiple nations. 23 universities, located in Transvaall, Akzvoria, and Cobra Sahara, were targeted in a highly sophisticated and coordinated operation. RANF operatives infiltrated these institutions, disguised as students, and opened multiple entry points for a second, more heavily armed group to follow. This second group was equipped with military-grade gas masks and toxic chemical agents, including Phosgene and Mustard Gas, both notorious for their devastating effects.

Once inside the universities, the attackers unleashed the chemical agents through the ventilation systems, flooding hallways and lecture rooms with deadly gas. Panic quickly spread as people and faculty, unaware of the threat, scrambled to escape the invisible killer. The buildings turned into death traps as the gas filled every corner, making it nearly impossible to avoid. Students and staff were caught in a initially unknown threat, scrambling to escape the invisible toxins filling the air. Chaos spread across the buildings, with some survivors recounting how they had to step over unconscious bodies, unsure if those they'd passed were still alive. The lucky few who managed to flee described a scene of pure horror—a once-normal day turned into a frantic struggle for life. Security forces responded quickly, but they were unprepared for the chemical onslaught. With no proper protective equipment, they were forced to retreat as the RANF gunmen, protected by gas masks, advanced through the toxic fumes. The attackers used the gas to their advantage, launching surprise attacks on law enforcement, and turning the universities into battle zones.

Despite heavy resistance from RANF forces, many of the RANF attackers were killed during the escape attempts, but some managed to flee. The operation left a trail of destruction, with an estimated death toll in the hundreds and many more injured or affected by the chemical exposure. Most chillingly, the RANF’s strategy appeared to target the intellectual future of these nations, seeking to maim or traumatize the next generation of leaders, scientists, and academics. By attacking universities, the group has made it clear that no place of learning or thought is safe from their terror.

In a statement, the RANF denied involvement, instead shifting the blame to the governments of the affected countries. They accused the governments of neglecting their duty to protect their people and letting it happen, surely their respective mighty armies could've intervened quicker? they claim that they would never resort to such extreme measures. However, intelligence points strongly to the RANF, given the sophistication of the operation and the regions in which they have been active.

The international community has condemned the attacks, but with RANF's influence spreading, and their willingness to employ chemical warfare, a major crisis is looming on the horizon. Many fear the group can orchestrate further atrocities and destabilize the region. The attacks mark a disturbing evolution in their tactics, raising the stakes for global counter-terrorism efforts.
