Hijos Del Sueno

Bolivia

Los Forasteros

One of the most terrifying drug cartels after Los Zetas, **Hijos Del Sueno** controlled the nation of Bolivia with an iron fist for years before they finally were nearly exterminated by the combined efforts of Hijos Del Sueno defector Ernest Cruz, foreigner Konstantin Robinson, and a military alliance between the nations of China, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

## Origins and history

In 2016, Felipe Matamoros, a drug cartel sicario at the time, had a dream of a utopia in the nation of Bolivia, a narco state where the entire country (at least the rural farm portions of it) was a factory for drug production. Acting on this dream of a Narco-state, Felipe formed Hijos Del Sueno in 2017 and came to Bolivia in 2018, taking power by slowly killing the leaders of other, already existing drug cartels one by one. Noticing this, the Bolivian government created Unidad 93 (Unit 93), a militarized police unit. The resulting war engulfed the entire country for months, resulting in countless lives lost. In desperation, the Bolivian government called a truce, known as the "La Paz Pact": the Bolivian government agreed to look the other way if Hijos Del Sueno stopped killing more Bolivian citizens. Outraged by the decision, millions of citizens across Bolivia formed a resistance movement, known as the Bolivian People's Liberation and Resistance Army (BPLRA).

From 2017 to 2019, the cartel grew with power spreading its influence across all of South America. However, the cartel brought the international community down on top of it on July 19, 2021, when the cartel executed a terrorist attack that was meant to cripple the Bolivian rebel movement. Among the dead were a married Turkish couple (their children survived), the son of a Mexican Army general, three Mexican international students studying in Bolivia, eight British tourists, a French diplomat who was on vacation, a Chinese family of tourists, two families of Iraqis, a family of Americans, two Syrian tourists, an Iranian diplomat who was on vacation at the time, eight Afghan international students, and four Russian international students. Outraged that the cartel had violated the terms of their truce, the Bolivian government re-declared war on Hijos Del Sueno, though by this point UNIDAD 93 was divided, essentially fighting a civil war against itself, with a large majority of UNIDAD 93 officers becoming increasingly corrupt during the truce itself and actively aiding in cartel activities.

Hijos Del Sueno found itself fighting a two front war: one was against UNIDAD 93 officers loyal to the Bolivian government and the other was against Eurasian Coalition. In a desperate attempt to turn the tide of the war, Hijos Del Sueno conspired to steal American military technology and reverse engineer it. To that end, he turned to UNIDAD 93 officers on his payroll, commissioning them to target an American military engineer by kidnapping his family, intending to use them as blackmail against the engineer.

Konstantin put a stop to this plot by saving the engineer's family.

However, Konstantin and his ragtag band of foreign volunteers were not the only ones stirring up trouble in Bolivia; an offshoot of the Bolivian rebels, an anarcho-accelerationist group known as *Los aceleradores* (literally The Accelerationists) recently banded together with a secret network of undercover sleeper agents of various nationalities, known by the Bolivian populace *as Los forasteros* (The Outsiders), and conducted their own sabotage operations against both the cartel and UNIDAD 93. However, as there was no one person leading the organization, attempts at launching a formal investigation of *Los forasteros* were repeatedly frustrated by lack of evidence.

## Weapons and equipment

With the cartel growing with power and earning two billion dollars a week from its production and sale of cocaine, Hijos Del Sueno created a vast arsenal via buying weapons from the black market, as well as other crime syndicates.
