The vicious attacks by the Nyumbu militia have increased in the past week.
The critical supply routes to Zomnaygrad are nearly impassable.
The Choobovu government troops have taken enormous losses in the attacks.
Though they have fought bravely, the tempo of this latest swell in violence is clearly showing.
Government troops are leery to leave the temporary safety of the city streets. Many that do leave to patrol the vital supply arteries never return.

Even those that seek shelter in the city do not always get it. Snipers and mortar fire are a constant threat.
The local commander can do little to protect his troops as the militia does not seem to be coordinated at all. Small groups of militia can appear at any time at any place and inflict casualties, only to disappear by the time the commander can react with more troops.

Even as the situation gets worse in Zomnaygrad, the generals and their staff play their games in the Hexagon. Their inaction seals the fate of the soldiers and officers in this far off district.
If reinforcements do not get here soon, many of these troops will suffer fates worse than death at the hands of the militia.

Choobovu Government troops have been under heavy attacks this past week.
It appears the Nyumbu militia has regrouped after its stunning losses a month ago. The militia troops have attacked almost every convoy that has tried to enter or leave the regional capital city of Zomnaygrad.
This has put the government troops in a bad position as they begin to run low on critical supplies of ammunition, medicine and food.
The appearance of large numbers of mortars among the Nyumbu militia is surprising to military analysts as historically the militia has been poorly equipped.
In the Hexagon, military headquarters of Choobovu, military leaders argue over where to send what limited troops and supplies they have. Removing troops from the borders exposes them to invasion from their war-like neighbors in Kiwanja or Pyamji. Doing nothing exposes them to destruction from within. Commanding General Punda Kichwa knows well the dangers, he has fought in 3 regional wars now. The deep scar down his face tells everyone that he has seen violence. The fact he is here, shows that he knows how to survive that violence.
Only time will tell if the reinforcements from the Choobovu Army will reach this battered outpost in time to save them from sure death at the hands of the militia.

In recent days the Nyumbu militia has made many deadly attacks on Choobovu Army outposts.
Fighting has pushed even to the outskirts of the capital itself. Government troops are being rushed to the region to stem the violence.
The world will have to wait and see what becomes of this latest surge in violence.

Zomnaygrad (ANC) – The roads leading from Zomnaygrad are choked with trucks, fleeing the capital city. Initial reports are sketchy as some say they were forced to leave while others say they left of their own volition. What is clear is that the city is being reoccupied by militia fighters of the EzelHoeden Resistance. Earlier this year the EHR left the city after the failed assault by Ardestad Government forces left the town in ruins and the EHR battered.

Heavily armed EHR soldiers can be seen walking throughout the city. This reporter has seen no evidence of forced removal or any other illegal activity by the militia fighters.

Many residents express concern for the future. This city has seen much rebuilding since the battle ended earlier this year. It now appears that what has been rebuilt may shortly be piles of rubble again.

Zomnaygrad (ANC) In contrast to the calm of the past few months, new activity has been seen in and around the city of Zomnaygrad. It is not the sound of war, but the sound of construction. Reconstruction to be exact. After the heavy bombing of the town and the massive battle waged here in May, much of the town was in ruin. Construction crews headed by the UN peacekeepers and the Red Cross have been rebuilding the town for the last couple of weeks and have made a lot of head-way. Almost a dozen new buildings have been built in addition to the rebuilding of many buildings that were either destroyed during the battles or during the harsh weather that plagued the area during the summer.
