History of the Federation
With help from the West African Union, and in particular the WAU nations that share a border with the prospective Federation (namely the Republic of Guinea and Ivory Coast), talks began in 2010 to unite the Democratic Republic of Liberia and the Nimba into a Federation of Liberia.

Both nations agreed to the deal put on the table by the WAU and signed the Federation Agreement on the 31st of December 2011, the new nation of the Federation of Liberia (will probably be known as Liberia for short) will come into effect on the 1st January 2013. With a centralised government based in the Nimban captial of Sanniquellie.

From the 1st February 2012 the armies of Nimba and the Democratic Republic of Liberia merged into a newly formed Federation Army.

In early 2012, with help from West African Union troops the nations that will make up the Federation of Liberia took control of the remainder of the former Liberian Grand Gedeh County. It was found to be relativly easy, as they are members of the same tribe (Krahn) as one of the founding members of the Federation, the Democratic Republic of Liberia. In the south of the county the local population had been suffering cross border raids from the RRL so welcomed the Federation/WAU troops with open arms.

Application to Join
In February 2012 the Democratic Republic of Lofa applied for membership in the Federation. After discussions between the governments of the two founding members of the Federation and representatives of the WAU the application was accepted, Lofa will join the Federation on the 1st January 2014, two years after the foundation of the Federation.

Due to the successful application of Lofa, there are plans for the new Federation (with the help of the WAU troops) to take the unclaimed land in Bong County which is between the two nations in mid-late 2012.

First Federational Election
The first federational general election will take place in Nimba and the DRL on the 21st June 2012, the results will be announced on the 29th June 2012 with the new government formed in October 2012.

The election will be run by WAU officals to allow to to be free and fair.

The New President of the Federation of Liberia will be announced at the same time as the election results.

Government of the Federation
The Federal Assembly will be made up of 150 members.

Another 70 members will expand the Assembly when Lofa joins in 2014

2012 Land Aquisition
As planned, WAU and Federation troops have begun to take the uncontrolled section of Grand Gedah County.

All land taken will be incorporated into the Democratic Republic of Liberia until the Federation of Liberia comes into effect on the 1st January 2013, at which point it will be included into the Federation.

Grand Gedah County
22nd March

At 10am on the 22nd March 2012, 1000 Ivorian troops, 1000 Guinean troops and 1500 troops from the Federation of Liberia cross into the uncontrolled section of Grand Gedah County.

Ivorian troops cross into the uncontrolled territory from two points, one group of 500 troops from the Ivorian town of Nigra and another 500 troops from the Ivorian town of Pauleoula.

Guinean troops, along with the Federation troops cross into uncontrolled territory at four points along the Federation border, roughly 620 troops cross at each point.

A WAU military official has said he expects Grand Gedah County to be under total WAU/Federation control by the end of March, and fully democratic by June 2012.

23rd March

Ivorian troops have made very good progress into the unclaimed territory taking an average 25 miles from the border with Ivory Coast, they have been ordered to not get within 10 miles of the Revolutionary Republic of Liberia border, with the hope that this distance will stop a possible retalitary attack from RRL troops.

The Guinean/Federation troops have made slightly less progress with only 10 miles of territory taken.

WAU military officals have said that there is only approximatly 35 miles of uncontrolled territory between the WAU/Federation troops.

24th March

The Ivorian troops have slowed their advance to give them time to rest from the advancements of the past two days. They still take five miles of uncontrolled territory. At the same time the leaders of the Ivorian troops has been in trade talks with village and tribal leaders in the 10 mile wide area of south of Grand Gedah County that they have been ordered not to enter as it is too near RRL territory.

The Guinean/ Federation troops have made good progress taking 15 miles of uncontrolled territory.

In some places the troops are so close to each other that radio contact is possible between the two WAU troops.

25th March

In the north of Grand Gedah County the Ivorian and Guinean troops have joined up secured the counties northern border with Ivory Coast and are heading southwards towards Federation troops in the south of the county.

26th March

With the exception of a few small areas Grand Gedah County is now entirely in WAU/Federation hands. The last hold out areas are expected to be under WAU/Federation control by the 29th March.

There was no major resistance to the take over of the area, the townships in the south welcomed the troops as they had been suffering from raids from RRL troops.

WAU troops are in the process of setting up border protection points roughly 10 miles north of the RRL border.



After the success of the taking of the remainder of Grand Gedah county, further land aquisition, with help of the WAU troops, may take place this year in the area around soon-to-be Federation territory.

The expected targets are the remainders of Grand Bassa or Bong Counties.

29th March

On the 29th March, a joint WAU/Federation conference announces that the next section of uncontrolled land to be taken for the Federation will be the remainder of uncontrolled Bong County. This is expect to occur sometime in May 2012. The section designated for aquistion are Suakoko and Zota Districts.

In order for this to take place the Guinean troops will be withdrawn from Grand Gedah County to assist a joint Federation/WAU/Lofan force. The Federation will provide 500 troops, Lofa will provide 500 troops as well as the 1000 Guinean troops.

Ivorian troops will remain in Grand Gedah County, they will man the new RRL border posts in Grand Gedah County until Federation troops are in a secure position to take them over, as well as assisting Federation troops in the repair of infrastructure in the newly aquired section of the county.

There are also talks underway with Monrovia about the remainder of Bong county (namely Fuamah and Salala Districts) as these areas have close links to Monrovia despite being in the hands of warlords.

Bong County
The WAU/Federation/Lofan task forces invasion of uncontrolled sections of Bong County is now planned for mid May 2012, Monrovia has agreed to assist the WAU troops in Fuamah and Salala Districts, it is expected that Bong County will fall into controlling hands (Either Federation or Monrovia) by the end of July.



Once Bong has fallen it will be divided up between Monrovia (Light Green), which will get Fuamah and Salala Districts (Dark Green) and Nimba (Red), which will get Suakoko and Zota Districts (Pink), these two districts will then hopefully be transfered into the Federation on the 1st January 2013.
