CHRW: ‘Zuhlgan Forcibly Removing Indigenous Takaran-Mitalldukish People from Aka Island’
Ozákla, Zuhlgan— Reports have surfaced alleging that Zuhlgani authorities have forcibly removed the indigenous Takaran-Mitalldukish population from Aka Island, a strategically vital territory in the Tadukallai Isles. The allegations, made by displaced community leaders, human rights organizations, and Krauanagazan officials, claim that entire villages have been depopulated over the weekend under the guise of “security measures” following Zuhlgan’s recent military expansion in the region.
According to sources within the Cordilian Human Rights Watch (CHRW), several hundred Takaran-Mitalldukish families have been forcibly relocated, with reports indicating that some were given only hours to vacate their homes before being transported to the Cordilian mainland or left stranded in refugee camps on nearby islands. Eyewitness accounts describe armed Zuhlgani security forces conducting door-to-door evictions, burning property, and destroying local infrastructure.
The Zuhlgani Foreign Ministry has strongly denied the accusations, dismissing them as “baseless misinformation” aimed at discrediting the Holy Dominion’s governance of Aka Island. In a statement released earlier today, Zuhlgani officials insisted that relocations were voluntary and part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of island residents in the wake of increased military tensions.
“Aka Island is a crucial asset in an unstable region,” said Zuhlgani Foreign Minister Kula H’kara. “Any claims of forced displacement are outright fabrications meant to undermine Zuhlgan’s rightful authority over the territory.”
Zuhlgan further claimed that the majority of former residents left willingly as part of an infrastructure redevelopment initiative designed to modernize Aka Island and accommodate new military installations. However, international watchdogs argue that these claims contradict mounting first-hand accounts from displaced families, many of whom say they were given no choice but to leave.
The Krauanagazan State Department has strongly condemned the alleged expulsions, calling them an act of ethnic cleansing and a violation of fundamental human rights. Krauanaet Thalira Renkara stated that her government would be pushing for an independent investigation through the World Forum’s Human Rights Council (WFHRC).
“The forced removal of the indigenous Takaran-Mitalldukish people from their homeland is unacceptable,” Renkara said in a press briefing. “Zuhlgan’s occupation of Aka Island has already destabilized the region. Now, it is clear that they are attempting to erase an entire culture from their rightful land.”
CHRW, the Krauanagazan Human Rights Commission, and several Mitalldukish exile groups have all called on Zuhlgan to immediately allow international observers to assess the situation. Satellite imagery from independent analysts appears to show abandoned villages, military encampments, and signs of recent demolitions across Aka Island, further fueling concerns about widespread displacement.
The allegations come amid growing regional instability following Zuhlgan’s military buildup on Aka Island, which has been widely condemned by Krauanagaz and its allies. The Takaran People’s Army (TPA) and Purity Vanguard (PV) coalition, which controversially aligned with Zuhlgan in exchange for its support, has remained silent on the issue, leading to outrage among Mitalldukish nationalist groups that once backed the coalition.
Analysts warn that the forced displacement of the Takaran-Mitalldukish population could further inflame tensions in the Tadukallai Isles, where separatist and militant groups have long resisted foreign control. Some experts fear that the crisis could trigger new insurgencies or even prompt Krauanagaz to take a more direct role in regional security.
The World Forum’s Human Rights Council is expected to meet in the coming days to discuss a formal inquiry into the alleged expulsions. Meanwhile, displaced Takaran-Mitalldukish leaders are calling for international intervention to pressure Zuhlgan into allowing their people to return to Aka Island.
With tensions already high between Krauanagaz and Zuhlgan following the Gulf War and the Okhoa crisis, this latest development has pushed the two regional powers further toward renewed confrontation.
