The Travails of War by arinzegod12

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!!! as the bombs dropping from the planes announced its presence and marking the beginning of a very bitter and brutal war. Buildings and bodies of both human beings and animals littered the place, a leg here and a hand there, while the survivals of the blast groaned in pains as they stared at their shrapnel battered body, blood was everywhere like paints splashed on a graffiti wall. It was a scene of horror but the worst was yet to come.

Nobody prays for war but when the nation of Kineria and Bresha could not settle their differences as regards claim to the border lands which contained large oil deposits war broke out. Both nations have had little skirmishes in the past but this was different, a full blown war and Bresha had landed the first strike, a brutal one and kineria must reply back like boxers in a boxing ring.

24th July, 1997, Three Ballistic Missiles descended into Limba an industrial town in Bresha striking a Chemical Factory,

the effect of this strike was very hazardous, deadly gaseous chemical escaped into the atmosphere and poisoned the air, inhaling was enough to sign ones death sentence as people gasped for air, then the bodies started dropping like flies, both the young and old succumbed.

Three months into the war, Food, Water and Medicine became a scarce resource, both nations have blockaded both their Sea, Air and Land Corridors. The humanitarian crisis was beyond description, the United Countries tagged it the "Worst Humanitarian Crisis of the 21st Century".

People starved on both sides, it was so bad that the ribs were very visible to count, those who did not from the shelling and bombing succumbed to starvation or Ill health. Schools were shut and people were forced to live their homes, they became refugees in their own country running from one makeshift shelter to another.

A two day truce allowed the International Community to send aids to both warring countries but this truce was broken when Soldiers from Bresha entered into Canterion a small village in Kineria for the first time, rounded up the villagers, tied them up like sacrificial lambs and set them ablaze like burnt offering.

This act sparked outrage from the International Community and the toughest sanctions were imposed. But the war persisted and took another tone when Kineria liberation Army successfully captured a little town in Bresha and used them as human shields against the resistance from Bresha.

The war waged on for months then a year with no signs of victory, both nations were collapsing but pride and the ego wouldn't let the war come to a halt.
