New Galasian Civil War: Refugees continue to flood southern Angiris
Aranoch and Ohiae are front-lines in a major refugee crisis emanating from New Galasian conflict

LUT GHOLEIN, Aranoch - An estimated 275,000 people have fled across the Angirisian-New Galasian border since a civil war erupted in the Kingdom of New Galasia three years ago, says a refugee advocacy group operating in Lut Gholein.

The border states of Aranoch and Ohiae have been the focal point of virtually all refugee traffic heading north. A month after the war began, Imperial officials swarmed southern Aranoch and Ohiae with volunteers and aid workers hoping to assess the situation and to provide aid to as many people as possible. The cities of Daytium and Cincinium in southern Ohiae have been most refugees have been sent to, as government officials scrambled to open shelters in those cities. Southern Aranoch is littered with refugee camps, since there are very few major cities to take many of the refugees to and some of them have been deemed unable to survive a trip north to Lut Gholein.

The New Galasian civil war has put a major strain on Imperial resources, but for the time being the Angirisian Empire seems to be holding up under the pressure. But many sources are saying that if the war goes on too much longer, then Angiris may not be able to withstand too many more refugees. If that is the case, then it is very possible that the Angirisian Empire would institute a border lock-down to stop the refugee flow. Barring that, there may be no other choice for the Empire but to intervene either politically and/or militarily to stop the civil war and restore peace to the northern Near East.
