"Yet more assassination attempts on Nor'baal's life! 17 men ambushed the Royal Hunting party after bribing the Hunting Ground staff to look the other way while they oestensibly poached game. They laid in wait for His Royal Personage Nor'baal and an obscenely wealthy businessman. The businessman was killed in the opening salvo, and Nor'baal was gravely wounded. His guardes once again tackled him to the ground while opening fire on the attackers. The attackers, oddly enough, turned on each other as well. All were killed.
"Nor'baal was rushed to the hospital again, where an IED ambush occured! Four vehicles were destroyed, Nor'baals armored ambulance was damaged and knocked over by the blast. A team of gunmen open fire from across the street! The ambluances armor is enough against small-arms fire, but it's only a matter of time! Air support is engaging the attackers, but it looks like two men have MANPADS. Oh, if only the assassins were a little bit more organized, and OH! They launched one missile, damaging one of two helicopters! This pathetic human Nor'baal is sure to die! DOOOOOOOOOMMM!
"Hahahahaha! In other news, five snipers were killed by police today as they set up shop in a skyscraper under construction. It is believed they were planning on attempting to assassinate Nor'baal. One man was arrested after police found large amounts of explosives in his car. Another was caught trying to bribe a doctor into giving Nor'baal an overdose of anesthesia the next time he was in the hospital. It appears Chad is crawling with assassins. Oh, it looks like the remaining helicopter has launched rockets at the ambushers, killing them all. This concludes the breaking news broadcast of Chad State Media."

China agrees to all your military purchases, getting rid of old equipment as they modernize their own military.

There are outbreaks of violence with people on both sides of the fence ending up dead or brutally beaten. Several businesses get torched and stores are looted. After two weeks of violence and riots that the police fail to control, the anti-government party decides to ask Morocco to assist in a regime change. Morocco agrees and announces that they are going to go to war against Western Sahara. Anti-government forces numbering 900 seize control of an armory near the border and arm themselves.
