The State of Africa

Kenya - Open conflict with Al Janyar

After a myriad of brush conflicts with neighboring regions, coupled with mass migrations southwards from regions devastated by the rapid desertification to the north, Kenya, Uganda, and northern Tanzania entered negotiations. These regions had long shared cultural and linguistic heritages, and a long history of cooperation, which led to the formation of Swahili Republic, with the capital located in Nairobi.
The Swahili Republic has established a high level of border defenses along the Ethiopian and Somali borders, and have closed the borders to any and all refugees trying to flee Al Janyar. The ousted Ethiopian government has taken up residence in their Nairobi embassy, which has led to much public unrest in those camps that are in favor of opening the borders to the refugees, and those who fear drawing unwanted Al Janyar ire.

Lesotho
Conquered in a brutal and brief land-war with South Africa. The Lesotho Pacification drew brief public attention, before the South African military arrested and deported any foreign journalists found in the region.

Liberia - Legion Controlled

Strong ties with the U.S. faded and finally ended throughout the '20s and '30s, as a strong nationalist movement led to riots and the threat of civil war that was only avoided by a referendum in 2035. Modern Liberia has over the past few years begun establishing a strong military industrial sector, in part funded and supported by Nigeria.

Libya - Al Janyar Aligned

Due to worsening conditions in southern Libya, due the spread of the Saharan desert, modern Libya exists mostly as a 300km wide band along the Mediteranean sea. Most of inland Libya, while still claimed on a map, has become a desolate and lawless region. The nation weathered the storm of the that was known as the Arab Spring, with a seemingly endless series of assassinations, internal conflicts, and uprisings that lasted into the mid '20s. With the rapid spread of Al Janyar, the Free-Tunisian Ba'ath Party, seen as a perversion of the original Ba'ath political movement of the '60s-early 2000s, has seen a resurgence of support, and is suspected to have ties to a series of suicide bombings and attacks in the country, likely aimed to cause unrest and destabilize the region.
