Geopolitical Turmoil in Mitallduk: TPA-PV Coalition Fractures as New Factions Emerge
Mitayyal, Krauanagaz — The fragile political landscape of Mitallduk has been thrown into further chaos as the Takaran People’s Army (TPA) and Purity Vanguard (PV) coalition faces a dramatic internal split. Hardline factions within the coalition have broken away to form two new groups: Heritio Korosha, a far-right xenophobic movement that finds its roots in Apartheid Krauanagaz, and the Free Takaran Army (FTA), a nationalist faction advocating for a Takaran-Mitalldukish Kingdom. This development comes just one week after the TPA-PV coalition’s controversial agreement with Zuhlgan, which has sparked widespread dissent and further destabilized the war-torn nation.
The TPA-PV coalition, which has ruled much of Mitallduk since the collapse of the Mitalldukish Provisional Government, has long been a tenuous alliance of nationalist and far-right factions. However, the coalition’s decision to accept Zuhlgani aid in exchange for recognizing Zuhlgan’s control over Aka Island has proven to be a breaking point for many within its ranks.
Composed primarily of former Purity Vanguard hardliners, Heritio Korosha (translated as “Guardians of Purity”) has reemerged as an influential radical xenophobic movement. The group rejects all foreign influence, including the Zuhlgani aid deal, and advocates for the expulsion of non-Mitalldukish elements from the country. Their rhetoric is marked by extreme nationalism and a commitment to “racial and cultural purity.”
The FTA, formed by breakaway TPA members, seeks to establish a Takaran-Mitalldukish Kingdom encompassing the Tadukallai Isles and mainland Mitallduk. The group views the TPA-PV coalition as too willing to compromise with foreign powers and has vowed to fight for an independent, sovereign Mitallduk free from external interference.
The TPA-PV coalition’s agreement with Zuhlgan, which granted the Holy Dominion sovereignty over Aka Island in exchange for humanitarian and military aid, has been widely criticized both within and outside Mitallduk. While the coalition leadership has defended the deal as a pragmatic necessity, many see it as a betrayal of Mitallduk’s sovereignty.
The deal has sparked fierce opposition within the coalition, with hardliners accusing the leadership of selling out to foreign powers. This dissent has now culminated in the formation of Heritio Korosha and the FTA, both of which reject the agreement and vow to resist Zuhlgani influence.
Civilians in Mitallduk are divided. While some welcome the prospect of much-needed aid, others fear that the agreement will lead to further foreign domination and erode Mitallduk’s independence. Protests have erupted in several cities, with demonstrators calling for the coalition’s resignation.
Heritio Korosha has quickly gained traction among disillusioned Purity Vanguard members and far-right sympathizers. The group’s ideology is rooted in extreme nationalism and xenophobia, with a particular focus on expelling foreign influences and preserving Mitallduk’s “cultural purity.”
Heritio Korosha has already been accused of carrying out attacks on Zuhlgani aid convoys and foreign workers, as well as targeting minority groups within Mitallduk. Their actions have further destabilized the region and drawn condemnation from both the TPA-PV coalition and international observers.
The group is led by Varek Talin, a former PV commander known for his fiery speeches and uncompromising stance against foreign intervention. Talin has vowed to “purify” Mitallduk of all external influences, even if it means resorting to violence.
The Free Takaran Army (FTA), on the other hand, represents a more nationalist and militaristic vision for Mitallduk. The group seeks to establish a Takaran-Mitalldukish Kingdom that unites the Tadukallai Isles and mainland Mitallduk under a single, sovereign government.
The FTA aims to expel all foreign forces from Mitallduk, including Zuhlgani troops, and restore the nation’s independence. They have also called for the reunification of the Tadukallai Isles, which they view as an integral part of Mitallduk.
The FTA has already launched several attacks on Zuhlgani military installations and TPA-PV positions, signaling their intent to wage a protracted guerrilla war. Their ranks are reportedly growing as more disillusioned TPA members defect to their cause.
The fracturing of the TPA-PV coalition and the emergence of Heritio Korosha and the FTA have sent shockwaves across Southern Cordilia, with regional and international actors weighing in on the implications.
Krauanagazan Secretary of State Darius Korin condemned the new factions, calling them, “extremist groups that threaten regional stability.” However, some analysts speculate that Krauanagaz may secretly support the FTA as a counterbalance to Zuhlgani influence.
Zuhlgani officials have dismissed the new factions as “desperate splinter groups” and reaffirmed their commitment to the agreement with the TPA-PV coalition. However, the rise of Heritio Korosha and the FTA has complicated Zuhlgan’s efforts to stabilize Mitallduk.
The World Forum has called for an emergency session to address the crisis, with some member states pushing for sanctions against Zuhlgan and increased support for the TPA-PV coalition. Others argue that the focus should be on brokering a peace deal between the factions.
