TURN 37 - Year 1981

Historical events:

-Coup in Gambia

-Paquisha War

-Uganda Civil War

Information for Players:

Pahlavi Iran: The opening of Iran begins for something perhaps democratic in the future, however at war with Iraq this is in the background. Protests in the country tend to decline as the Shah has met some demands of the working class, but is still not quite right with them or with the cleric, Khomeini still makes much influence among the more fundamentalist parts of society. Iran says it is not a good idea for Khomeini to return to Iran because it could become a national symbol for the protesters and more protests will begin, the shah combines with the israeli and french secret service a way to kill Khomeini without anyone suspecting it was murder.

Iraq: Saddam sends enough troops to try to attack Iran but ends up failing in the first attempts and his troops are defeated, Saddam will start bombing Iran and its major cities soon.

Libya: Gadaffi takes control and makes Libya an arab country and declares support for the rebels in Uganda.

Yemen: Now a civil conflict begins founded by the arab socialists against the present rulers of the country (the rebel leaders and the AC).

Turkey: The government acts with violence against communist and kurdish rebels.

Syria: Hafez al-Assad, the syrian leader, refuses to join the Arab Caliphate and says that his decision needs to be respected or he will report the AC to the united nations.

Lebanon: The arab socialist government begins to lose in the country, but the conflicts are not over and the arab socialists with the palestinian and syrian support dominate part of the country while the right-wing militias, Israel and France elsewhere. Democratic elections can be done to solve the problem.

Peru and Ecuador: The paquisha war began, but lasted very little and ended in a peruvian victory, the frontier conflict between Peru and Ecuador begins.

Afghanistan: The Mujahideen attack the soviets and say that they will never accept the socialist "infidels" and that they would rather die fighting in the name of god than accept the invaders, this discourse mobilizes most of the islamic world, which begins to support the cause of the mujahideen than with the uyghurs (chinese), iranian, american and pakistani (indian) help has been recovering areas that have been lost and bombed.

Guadeloupe and Martinique: They are now socialist states, and this happened democratically without wars, the government was voted and thus assumed the power and affiliated to the socialist bloc.
