Security Analyst Criticises Poor Kalopian Intelligence
January 5594
An intelligence analyst for a private security company that specialise in risk management for multinational shipping corporations has strongly criticized the poor performance of Kalopian civilian and military intelligence agencies relating to their intelligence assessment, a year after the Kalopian military launched its intervention into Solentia. He highlighted the following areas as total failures;
1. Not identifying which faction Kalopia was going to work with inside Solentia. Kalopia clearly did not understand what the conflict was about and made no effort to engage with any factions in Solentia prior to launching a military intervention.
2. In their assault on the capital Oda, attacking the MKG who were the only faction open to working with Kalopia. This directly led to the leader of the MKG reaching out to work with Hezb-e Ahmadi.
3. Not understanding the hostility to outsiders in Solentian culture, which led to all Solentian factions uniting against Kalopian intervention.
4. Allowing the Kalopian President to make a public speech on the conflict that was extremely poorly received in Solentia and led to mass protests in Kalopian controlled areas.
5. Claiming the intervention was against Ahmadi State, although the intervention triggered Ahmadi State attacks inside Kalopia and has subsequently led to Ahmadi State rapidly expanding.
6. Providing supplies to factions in Solentia that months later united with Hezb-e Ahmadi to oppose Kalopian troops.
7. Being heavily reliant upon airstrikes that relied upon limited intelligence analysis and had caused significant numbers of civilian casualties.
8. Being unprepared for a refugee crisis.
9. Introducing a maritime blockade that supposedly targeted Ahmadi Union and Ahmadi State finances through drug trafficking, despite the Ahmadi Union being the legitimate government of Solentia and raising money through taxation, and Ahmadi State receiving its finances from wealthy Majatran backers. In fact, the only faction that benefits from the drugs trade was receiving supplies from Kalopia until recently.
Instead the maritime blockade had triggered a risk of a famine in Solentia by disrupting food imports.
10. Continually referring to the legitimate government of Solentia as "terrorists", when it is Kalopian intervention forces that have targeted the civilian population of Solentia with airstrikes and economic blockades.
11. Kalopia still has no long term plan or disengagement strategy and has instead wasted diplomatic efforts on trying to get other nations to join their intervention.
The analyst could not believe that Kalopian intelligence had made so many assessment mistakes in such a short period of time, further intensifying the horror of the conflict in Solentia, a conflict that would have been resolved quicker and with far fewer casualties than is now the case following Kalopian involvement.
