------------------
Year 2021. The "Françafrique" doctrine, which is dictating France foreign policy in Africa since the General De Gaulle in the 60's has been challenged by China in the last decade. China started to be more present in Western Africa with the consequence for France to lose influence and, as a result, to lose access to abundant and cheap raw materials. The situation recently degenerated between China and France when President Xi Jinping managed to impose a new government in Abuja (Nigeria) after the coup perpetrated in 2020 by Generals and other rogue elements of the Nigerian army. The first tensions with France occurred soon after a remarkable deposit of palladium ore was discovered in the Far North Region of Cameroon near the border with Nigeria. President Macron, in a desperate attempt to keep the former colony in Western Africa under French influence decided to send substantial French military forces to Cameroon to try to dissuade China from invading the country and seize its natural resources as it was feared by France's foreign intelligence agency (DGSE).

China, unimpressed by Macron's strategy and blaming Cameroon for a terror attack in a maternity center in Lagos (killing 8 mothers and their babies), started to move their forces stationed in Nigeria to the border with Cameroon and launched a surprise attack in the north to seize the precious ore deposit. By early December 2021 the war between France and China had started in Cameroon. China is now preparing a large scale offensive to fully occupy Cameroon and with the clear intention to boot France out of Western Africa for good !

By December the 19th China has taken the city of Maroua in the north and is about to seize Garoua (Objective city) as well as the French Forward Base (Objective located near Kontcha)

Chinese troops stationed in the south of Nigeria along the border with Cameroon between Makurdi and Port Harcourt are ready to move eastwards and China seems now determined to take Mamfe, Munbemba and ultimately Douala while at the same time planning to disrupt country telecommunications networks with strikes on the TV station and the radio antenna in the capital city Yaoundé.

France is waiting reinforcements departed three days ago from Chad where a whole division was stationed as part of the permanent French military presence in Western Africa.

A French trucks convoy has just left Bafoussam and is en route to bring supply to Garoua in the north of the country. The convoy is bringing both humanitarian aid for local populations and military supply to the troops stationed in the north. France shall protect the trucks convoy at all price. It’s of vital importance that the convoy reaches Garoua, its final destination. China shall prevent the trucks from reaching their final destination. The convoy is escorted by the French 2e REI Mech Inf Regiment and an Air Defense mobile MANPAD Group.

December, 19th, z07:00 – The scenario begins - France is determined to defend the Maroua-Salak Civilian Airport. A Cameroonese regiment (16th BIM - Forces Armées Camerounaises) is positioned north of the airport with orders to stop Chinese troops and defend the airport at all cost. China is preparing an assault on the airport in order to seize this strategically vital facility. Controlling the airport would allow China to use it for its own military operations and to bring reinforcements and supply to the troops in the northern frontline.

The Chinese fleet is arriving and could attempt to land troops south of Douala and take the city. The French naval Task Force is arriving from Libreville in Gabon and must prevent such an attempt.

The war has started, good luck General !
