Jageran/Démocratique Forces Begin Final Push Against Royalistes

Cease Fire Reached With Communiste Forces

From the "Commonwealth Star"

Acadière, Îles Jontadains - Elements of the Jageran Ground Force stationed in Jonquiere-Tadoussac, along with their Démocratique allies, are beginning a major push, aimed at destroying the last bases of power for the Royaliste rebels of the country. This would bring the war within tangible distance of its end, as the Royalistes have been the main opposing force in this stage of the conflict.

According to Generalmajor Heiström, commander of the Jageran First Army, the attacks are aimed into the heart of remaining Royaliste territory, with a goal of no less than forcing a surrender of the rebel forces or destroying them in the process. Elements from the First and Second Armies, along with the Jontada Major Air Command, are to participate in the assault, aiming at the Royaliste headquarters of Île-de-Loup. "At the least, we can cut them in half," states Generalmajor Heiström.

In related news, the Jageran/Démocratique command has entered negotiations with the Communiste forces for a cease fire. There is no word yet on whether this will be accepted. Reports indicate the Communistes want control of at least one province, and autonomy to govern it almost as an independent protectorate.

Talks have also been entered with the indigenous Eeyo'Uch peoples residing in the east of the country. They had occupied the areas at the outbreak of the latest stage of the war, and are pressing for autonomous government in the area. Reports indicate the Jageran forces are amenable to this, but no word yet if the Démocratiques will accept it, and no official word has been given.
