The integration of previously held NRJ strongholds has been tricky for the GNC to say the least, from counter insurgencies to try and push away the forces of the ALN to collaborationist cells sabotaging the pacification of the regions and their disarmament, the People's Ministry for the Reintegration of Occupied Territories by the Unholy Junta has been a headache for the Government of National Concord and the National Liberation Front in general. Yet the recent uncovering of multiple mass graveyards hostings the remains of more than 1230 people near the old village of Moyo has revealed a much sinister secret previously hidden by the NRJ.

The excavation of the mass burial grounds occured during a routine inspection of seemingly abandoned villages to ensure that there wasn't NRJ affiliated cells hiding there, the routine consists of checking homes, warehouses and using canine units to detect any potential weapon or drug stash hidden underground. At first when the first grave was discovered, it only has 40 people in it and it was assumed that they were simply villagers that refused to collaborate with the NRJ and had to be punished, but when 4 other graves were discovered by another 8 it alarmed the Revolutionary government in Chila which sees this discovery as clear signs of ethnic cleansing since the old village of Moyo was recorded to be a Psiku village in censuses.

Immediately after the discovering of the 1230 bodies, the People's Ministry for Warfare, Resistance, and National Vengeance hurriedly set up research teams and ordered the organization of an emergency nationwide search of all remote villages and cities previously held by the RNJ across the now liberated territories for clues of where the mass burial sites were located. Quickly, forces of the ANL captured NRJ general Mbira Sithole who quickly spilled the beans about the locations of most of the sites. The discoveries by the GNC were horrific to say the least, from hundreds of communal graves to hundreds of dead bodies being left to rot in abandoned ware houses, the tally kept skyrocketing with each new excavation and report. The cities of Kabala, Nzadi, and Nkala were among the ones with the highest number of victims as more than 30% of their Psiku populations missing and found across both the graves and pile of bodies and officially qualified it as a genocide.

Shortly after, the President of the Government of National Concord, general Rungano Mangwende, held a furious speech on the radio in which he denounced "The horrific, inhumane, and barbarian genocide" perpetrated by the forces of the NRJ against the Psiku people and promised to "avenge the hundreds of thousands of victims of this crime agaisnt humanity." The announcement was quickly followed by the proclamation of a cease-fire between the GNC and Blessed Kingdom of Ekidonia and the formation of a united front agaisnt the NRJ to overthrow the government in Namaji.
