Operation Diamante Escudo
Blackstone Airsoft announces Conflict Diamante Escudo.
Conflict Diamante Escudo
Rebels descended on the Liberian capital of Monrovia in 1990 to topple the military government of General Samuel Doe. The National Patriotic Front, led by Charles Taylor, emerged triumphant after a brutal civil war that displaced hundreds of thousands from their homes. The Abuja peace accords of 1995 brought a fragile ceasefire but controversially recognized Taylor as Liberia’s unelected president. A sham election in 1997 further solidified Taylor’s rule.
Liberia’s prolonged crisis destabilized neighboring Sierra Leone, especially through the violent Liberia-backed Revolutionary United Front (RUF). Taylor profited from his support of rebel groups who controlled diamond-mining areas. Under Taylor’s rule, Liberia was subject to UN sanctions. The Security Council imposed a weapons embargo in 1992 and in 2001 Resolution 1343 forbade imports of Liberian diamonds and imposed a travel ban against members of the Taylor regime. A 2003 resolution forbade the import of Liberian timber that provided Taylor with a valuable source of revenue.
Under Taylor’s despotic rule, government troops clashed repeatedly with a Guinean-backed rebel group, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) and another rebel group, Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL). The rebel groups advanced from strategic areas around the country toward Monrovia, Taylor’s last holdout.
Under to covert direction of the CIA, a small contingent of special forces operatives have been embedded with the LURD and MODEL groups to help coordinate their efforts and offer tactical expertise. Through their limited influence the CIA intends to help stabilize the social unrest surrounding Taylor’s regime and oust Taylor from power with plans of promoting a replacement that would be more receptive to the democratic process.
Objectives
LURD and MODEL rebel groups must take the city of Monrovia and hold it to allow the new Liberian Democratic government to establish itself.
Taylor’s regime must hold the capital city and prevent democracy at all cost. If the capital is lost, remaining regime factions will attempt to undermine the new democracy by removing a key profit center, diamond production. If diamond production is haulted the fledgling government will not survive and Taylor's regime will regain controll.
