The year is 2013.

Ethiopia is on the edge of civil war. . . again.

In 2011, the corrupt and incompetent Ethiopian goverment, seeing their support among the population rapidly fading, decided to use old, well-tried method of gaining popularity - they started a war with their neighbour. Unfortunately, what was intended to be "quick, victorious war" turned into bloody struggle against well equipped and well trained (at least by local standards) Eritrean Army. After five months of fighting, Ethiopian government was forced to resign in a (almost) bloodless revolution. The new government asked the UN for help in peace talks and rebuilding the country.

Hostilities ended, but the war had left Ethiopia in chaos. Ethiopian and Eritrean marauders, local warlords, and rebels from the PFLO terrorized the country. Government forces were unable to restore peace. The dry season came not long after, and with it drought and famine.

After a series of attacks on its UNAID and Red Cross volunteers, the UN decided to strenghten their presence. Since most of the Western forces were engaged in the Middle East, the newly formed UNIFE (United Nations International Forces Ethiopia) contingent consisted mainly of Polish and Ukrainian troops. Core units were mixed elements of the Polish 6th Armored Cav Brigade, and 12th Light Mechanized Brigade, supported by the Ukrainian 25th Mechanized Infantry Batalion.

Using two new Polish UTL fast transport ships, over 1300 soldiers were transported to Ethiopia, along with over 90 combat vehicles, including tanks and APCs.

Their task was to protect the humanitarian relief workers, and to help government forces restore peace in the area. . .



This campaign was inspired by Artur Baniewicz's excellent book "Afrykanka" ("African Girl"), but of course the storyline is completely diffrent. I suggest you read the book, if it ever comes in English [ or whatever language you can speak ] .
