UN General Troubled by Soviet Mercenaries in Imagi-Africa

Gen. Ugoji Kwemto, the newly appointed head of UN Imagi-Africa Command



Gen. Ugoji Kwemto, the newly appointed head of UN Imagi-Africa Command, said Tuesday that the presence of Soviet mercenaries (in some countries they are termed 'advisors') in Mombuututu (and other neighbouring nations) is part of the effort by President Jaroslav Rasputin to regain influence for Moscow in the Sub-Sahara.
"They concern me greatly," Kwemto said of the mercenaries from the shadowy organisation known as the "FingrVaggn Group," now operating Mombuututu, which has been mired in sectarian violence for some time.
At a closed session of the UN Council for Imagi-Africa, Kwemto said that the Soviets were using the mercenaries "to guard the head of state there [Emperor Willie Mbaka]. They're using them to train some of the local armed forces."
"Some of that could be benign; some of that is probably less than benign," he said in response to questions.
Kwemto noted that Soviet paramilitaries believed to be from the FingrVaggn Group, dubbed "little green men" in the so-called "crossbreed warfare" directed by Moscow, were used in non-aligned countries to provide Rasputin with a semblance of deniability that the Soviet military was involved.
"They're quasi-military and, as we saw play out in Mombuututu, little green men running around not necessarily following the rules of behaviour we would expect from a proper army," he said.
Gen. Chiwetelu Nkemdirim, the previous commander of UN Imagi-Africa Command, cited the presence of the FingrVaggn Group in the Grongo and Umbongo in testimony before the council last month.
What risk, it was asked, do the mercenary groups pose to the U.N. and its interests in Imagi-Africa?
"I have had some experience with these [Soviet mercenaries] ... from my time elsewhere," Kwemto said, referring to his former post.
"The Soviet high command assured us every time …..(they were asked) ... it was not their people," he said.
Gen. Kwemto went on the say he had “grave misgivings about the relative stability of the Grongo …. (particularly, given) … the inability of President Ricardo Grongo …... to confine activities of their Soviet advisors within the Grongo's borders ….... “

UMGAWALAND HISTORY 18th Century 1748 - Sir Humphrey Luxury-Yacht (late of Cholmondeley, Cheshire, England) of the East India Trading Company landed in Botungo Bay and established a trading outpost. Initial commodities for trade were bananas, coconuts, sugar and spices. 1750 - Because of population expansion at the EITC Botungo Bay trading post, a charter was granted to found a city and the name was changed to New Cholmondeley (in honour of Sir Humphrey's birth place). 1799 - The first coffee crop was planted, which would eventually lead to greater wealth generated in the colony. 19th Century 1808 - During the Napoleonic Wars, French privateers sought to wreak havoc on maritime trade along the eastern coast of Imagiafrica. One French ship, the "Blaireau en Colère", ran aground just south of New Cholmondeley. The crew was captured by the local militia. The French sailors must have enjoyed their captivity, describing it as "rather pleasant". Many stayed,...

WELCOME TO IMAGIAFRICA Bush Wars at the Nunawading Wargames Association had its genesis back in 2014 when I and Cameron Dickson discussed the possibility of running a wargame based on the movie "The Wild Geese". The concept plodded along with both of us purchasing some figures and models that would later serve as the components for the Wild Geese game. In late 2016, there seemed to be renewed interest and by January, 2017, the entire concept exploded onto the NWA scene as the fictitious continent of Imagiafrica was created with equally fictitious countries emerging militarily, politically and geographically. After a year's worth of posting on the NWA Facebook Group page, this Blog was set up to free up space on Facebook and to allow for some more entertaining posts to be shown to the world. The original guidelines are basic - keep it cheap and keep it fun! It was never a project that should cost an arm and a leg. Initially it was suggested, to keep it cheap, to bu...
