LDI worldwide broadcast intrusion

The **LDI worldwide broadcast intrusion** was a broadcast intrusion that occurred on 1 January 2023, where the terrorist organization Libertadores de Iberia (LDI) jammed every television station in the roleplay world to broadcast a message worldwide, announcing their goal of reuniting the Portuguese and Spanish Empires. Halfway through the broadcast, an unidentified man who claimed to be the long lost twin brother of slain UME Sultan Muhammad Khoorsheed Uzair ran up on the stage and assassinated LDI leader Felipe Mendoza. The broadcast was poorly transmitted, resulting in the video quality being poor and jumpy and a loss of signal after only a minute and a half. The only known footage of the broadcast, dubbed the **Wakamanda Film**, was recorded by Euronian citizen Charlie Wakamanda (the namesake of the film) from the music TV channel Eurono Three.

## **Synopsis of the Wakamanda Film**

The film begins between with what seems to be around the beginning or midway through a music video, where an unknown band performs one of their songs. The signal is suddenly lost, and static is seen on the screen with white noise in the background for about five seconds, before LDI leader Felipe Mendoza appears on the screen with an AK-47 on his back, standing behind a stand at the LDI headquarters in Barcelona, LDI Catalonia. Mendoza, speaking in a heavy Spanish accent, greets the world and introduces himself only as the leader of the Libertadores de Iberia, without providing his real name:

> "Good afternoon, citizens of the world. I am the leader of the Libetadores de Iberia, breaking through the waves in LDI Catalonia, which most of you think is Mxgentaland. The LDI plans to reunite the Portuguese Empire and Spanish Empire, so we request all land once owned by-"

Before Lopez can finish his speech, an at the time unidentified Arab man runs up on the stage wielding a sword, and stabs Mendoza in the neck, killing him. Mendoza falls forward (due to the poor quality of the transmission, Mendoza falling forward is hard to see) violently as LDI members scream in the background. An LDI member fires shots at the man as he ducks below Mendoza's pew. He reappears moments later, wearing Mendoza's AK-47, and opens fire on the LDI member, killing him, before introducing himself in a heavy Arabic accent as Sayyid Omar Aza Uzair, the long lost twin brother of UME Sultan Muhammad Khoorsheed Uzair:

> "I am Sayyid Omar Aza Uzair, long lost twin brother of slain UME Sultan Muhammad Khoorsheed Uzair. That man I just stabbed to death was the one who killed my brother. I plan to take back the UME from illegal communist rule, and will restore the monarchy in the name of my brother Muhammad. ٱللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ! LDI Catalonia is no more!"

By the time Uzair had finished speaking, the signal had gotten weaker, where the text "AND NOW BACK TO" appeared on the screen for a few moments before showing the Eurono Three logo briefly before the signal was fully lost. Regular programming began to resume approximately two minutes following the loss of signal, and worldwide TV was back to normal within the hour.

## Aftermath

Following the loss of signal, Omar Aza Uzair killed the remaining audience members left in the stage, who all happened to be the remaining members of the LDI, before burning the headquarters to the ground. On 7 January 2023, less than a week after the intrusion, Uzair invaded and overthrew the communist Middle Eastern Union, restoring the Middle Eastern monarchy and proclaiming himself as Sultan.
