The Homeland Liberation Front was an insurgency Mhoudia between the government which was run completely by Zanski, and the Homeland Liberation Front Imperial Socialist Army (HLFISA), also known by its acronic nickname, Halfisa. It Is lead by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Majid.

Background

After the Basenjiland-New Gharrakland war of 1952-59, New Gharrakland occupied 15 of 39 Provinces of Basenjiland, calling it the South Jayirian Republic. Zanski then set up a puppet state (Republic of Jayir) in the North to esure that New Gharrakland would lose the war without Zanski being directly responsible, thus preserving Zanski's reputation. After the ROJ won, Zanski annexed the ROJ, calling it the Jayirian Autonomous Region.

In the 1960-63 Zansk civil war, General Jacob Axim occupied and (without recognition) annexed South Mhoudia and killed some 1,100 muslims in the area.

However, it was the Circum-Zansk war that gave the Mhoudians the idea of an insurgency. The Imperial Socialist (non-marxist) nation of New Nicksyllvania Invaded the northern Zaynite area in 1968, and many Mhoudian Arabs liked their ideology. New Nicksyllvania and the Kangian Zansk Monarchy fought against the communist nations of Vetaka and Wagdog, which the Mhoudians feared would restrict Islam. The Arabs were starting to think that New Nicksyllvania would invade all of Mhoudia when Communist Victory was announced and northern Mhoudia was occupied by the communist United Federation of Allied Nations (UFAN). The monarchy of Zanski also fell, although a capitalist regime was put in place under Veran Atanah.

Insurgency begins

Khorsah Speech

In the Masjid-al-Deen in Khorsah, southern mhoudia, Imam Sheikh Abdullah Al-Majid convinced his students that Imperial Socialism was the way forward in a long sermon. He also talked about an "immoral annexation" of Mhoudi-Jayirian lands in the Jayirian Autonomous Region of Zanski. He also condemned the Zansk puppet regime of President Ahmad Janab.here is an excerpt from the speech:

"As-Salaam Aleikum Brothers. Today will be a great day for us. We will fight against the Zansk puppet regime that overshadows us, invades us whenever we make a step towards freedom. When you fight for me, you fight for freedom.

Today we act on the glimmer of hope that the Imperial Socialist Armies of New Nicksyllvania gave to us when he invaded the Northern part of Mhoudia, which is now occupied by the Communist forces of UFAN. When we win, I shall change the constitution so that we are known as the Imperial Socialist Free Republic of Mhoudia.

We also shall act on the Occupation and immoral annexation of what was known as the Jayirian Republic of Mhoudia, now the Jayirian autonomous region of Zanski. We recognise the inhabitation of Northern Mhoudia by people that might be descended from French Colonialists and the French language in those parts, but they do not appreciate the Racist restrictions put upon them by Zanski. The governer of the JAR has to be Zanski-born. I do not have to say any more on that matter.

As for the Zaynites, we recognise their background in the region, and once we have reclaimed it from the UFANi Commies, we will give them self rule within our country.

We will Cut off the head of President Ahmad Janab and give freedom to these opressed peoples! The Rocket raids on Mhoud will commence after midday prayers today. May Allah have mercy on you, but none on our enemies. Allahu Ackbar."

Massacre of Kahnag

In Kahnag, 5km west from Zanski and 50km east of Khorsah, three hundred HLFISA troops poured into the town of Kahnag (20,000 inhabitants) and killed 50 Mhoudian Soldiers. The Mayor was kept alive as a hostage, but was eventually killed three days later. The town was the first to hoist up the HLFISA flag. The events shocked the Zansk people, and an order was sent from Veran Atanah to any Zanski-loyal troops to take up arms against HLFISA. The demand gained no visible support.

The Conquering of the villages

Between 8th of August and 21st of August, HLFISA swept through the rural villages, hamlets and towns between Khorsah and Mhoud. 700 people were killed as a result and HLFISA gained territory just 0.6 KM south of Mhoud. Abdullah Al-Majid called this the 'conquering of the villages'. The only catholic church in Mhoudia, which was built in 500 AD, was burned to the floor in Hayak.

Battle of Mhoud

on the 23rd of August, the HLFISA landed their first rocket on the government tower in Mhoud. although the battle was 70,000 HLFISA against 300,000 Mhoudian troops, the Mhoudians were equipped only with hand pistols and Daggers whereas HLFISA was armed with snipers, RPGs, AK-47s, Artillery and Grenades. The battle claimed over one million lives (mostly civillian) and wiped out the whole of what was left of the the Hindu, Jewish, Gharrakan, Christian and Zaynite minorities in Mhoud city. Ahmed Janab took a long time to make the descision to counter-attack HLFISA because he knew it would be a lost cause. He was pleading to Zansk President Veran Atanah to intervene for three hours before he made the descision. Eventually he gave himself up and was taken to be excecuted.

Declaration & Post-declaration

Declaration & Executions

On the 25th of August, HLFISA head Abdullah al-Majid declared the Imperial Socialist Republic of Mhoudia outside the government buildings, on the eastern side of the Square of the Snake. 300,000 people gathered to hear the speech made by al-Majid. At 12:00 PM, Ahmed Janab was to be executed but, before him, famously, someone who threw a stone at Janab was excecuted. Ahmed Janab was executed at 12:34 PM instead, and his head was taken to the Mhoudian museum while people dipped cloths in his blood and sold them on the street. the Imperial Socialist Republic of New Nicksyllvania was the only nation to formally recognise the Republic at this time.

Border offensive against UFAN controlled Zaynah and Karazistan

On September the first, the Imperial Socialist republic set up 600 artillery across the 600 mile border with the area occupied by the United Federation of Allied Nations. The first one was fired at the de facto capital of Zaynah, Mrahed, and met its target. A land border offensive started against UFAN with spikes facing Zaynah put up on the road so traffic could only flow towards Zaynah. The Karazi "tree-climber" units (named for their stereotype speciality) climed the tall trees in the forests under the road with snipers and binoculars.

The insurgency officially stopped here, and turned into full-scale War. For phase two, see http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Homeland_Liberation_Front
