SC Mauritania Pt 3 - 2011

Background The past twenty years has seen unprecedented world-wide upheaval with the uncivil fracturing of the Soviet Union, failed interventions in the Mid-East and continental environmental disasters. Across the globe old political orders fall, energy resources dwindle and economies collapse. Mercenaries become a commonplace tool as governments and powerful corporations vie among each other to protect or assert their interests. Mauritania, July 2011 Struggling with an externally-funded rebellion, the leadership of the North African nation of Mauritania has turned to employing private military forces to stem their losses. The Turkish-based Wildcats, a mercenary fighter squadron composed of F-16 fighters, has been retained and is flying from a remote Strike Base in the Western Sahara. Things in Mauritania have heated up. A right-wing military element has staged a coup, toppling the rightful government, and aligned itself with the rebels. With enemies on all sides and no one left to pay the bills, the Wildcats are forced to face cutting their losses and running.
