Baton Rouge Bombing Scandal

The **Baton Rouge Bombing Scandal** is a controversial event that went on after Louisiana's Joseph Buroe met with Arabmaztan's Kahmir Farzoni. Although not actually a scandal, more so a foiled bombing attempt, it is still debated to this day by Pro-Louisiana and Pro-Arabmaztan supporters. This scandal eventually led to large-scale war between the two nations, Ohio and Iberia notwithstanding.

## **How It Broke Down**

Before the meeting with Joseph Buroe, Kahmir Farzoni was reportedly dancing, singing songs in Arabic. He was also reportedly swimming in his own money, and flaunting his own wealth towards other nations. But he needed more people in his alliance. Seeing that Louisiana was contemplating abandoning Texas because he had guilt tripped them into invading Canada and the fact they were recovering slowly but surely, sought the perfect opportunity for Arabmaztan. Arabmaztan sent a plane to the Edor Geron Memorial Airport, but due to landing gear failure and pilot error, it crashed. They then send a letter to the Louisiana Presidential Residency, which Joseph Buroe had received. He then wrote to the Arab Government that he accepted the invite. Buroe boarded his private plane and took off to Riyadh. This is where things had gotten intense.

Buroe and Farzoni were at a private hotel with guards surrounding them. They were offered wine if things get really stressful. They sat down, and looked directly at their eyes, face-to-face. Farzoni talked to Buroe about how Louisiana needed to ditch their allies, including Ohio, calling them "roaches and rats", and join their alliance, but Buroe objected. Buroe said that even though they would be fine with ditching Texas, they wouldn't leave Ohio high and dry, because the two are inseparable, one way or another. Farzoni wasn't happy, and solidified his point, only for Buroe to put it to rest once again. Farzoni wasn't happy about this situation. He ranted right in front of Buroe's face, and the guards escorted him out. Buroe took the plane back to Baton Rouge, and sat back in his chair in the Presidential Office once there.

You would probably think right now that was going to be it, but unfortunately, there was still more to it. Arabmaztan had secretly sent out a bomber to assassinate the president. This was when tensions were high, so snipers were out and about, and secret police are on high patrol, due to Arabmaztan's infamous history with bombing people. When the bomb was planted, however, the Bomber made a run for it, and attracted the attention of a Louisianian officer named "Brent Moraunt". Moraunt shot the terrorist dead, and then signaled a bomb squad to clear the bomb before it explodes. The bomb is successfully diffused by the squad, and investigations have taken place. In there was an ID card, a Military Service card, among other objects. Pictures have been taken of the bomb, the ID, the Military Service card and other belongings. When Louisiana had spread the word, Arabmaztan had tried to swiftly cover it up, but to no avail. Eventually, Arabmaztan requested the ID of the perpetrator, to which Louisiana accepts.

The Perpetrator's ID was sent to Riyadh, where it was set aflame for the whole world to watch as Louisiana is proven wrong. But Louisiana wasn't going to give up. They requested one of the IDs that were issued by Arabmaztan, to which they refused. After multiple tries, Louisiana finally threatened brute force, but Ohio had already hatched a plan. An Arab citizen was entering the Ohio during lockdown. One of the Ohioan Border Guards have taken his ID, and set onto the world stage, burning that ID, for everyone to come to their own conclusion that Arabmaztan was bombing Louisiana. This was the last straw for Arabmaztan, as a war ensued.

### **Transcript of Meeting**

**Kahmir Farzoni:** Yes, yes. We are here. Huraas, ta'akad min 'ana alrayiys la yuzhir 'aya ealamat lileudwani. [Translation: Guards, make sure the President doesn't show any signs of aggression.]

**Joseph Buroe:** Yeah, sure... Uhh...

**KF:** Help yourself with a seat, please.

*The chairs are pulled out on a table, and the two sit down.*

**JB:** Okay, so, uhh... I received a letter saying you invited me here for a meeting.

**KF:** That is correct. Huraas, aihsul ealaa baed alnabidh liklina. 'ana eatshan ealaa 'ayi hali. [Translation: Guards, Get some wine for the both of us. I'm thirsty, anyway.]

*A couple minutes come to pass, and the two are given some rich and smooth wine. The bartender has made sure that none of them have poison.*

**JB:** Alright. Now that the two of us are here, umm... What is it that you wanted to talk about?

**KF:** I have arranged this meeting far from the roaches and rats, regarding your potential participation in our alliance.

**JB:** Okay, What kind of roaches and rats are you talking about, and what about this alliance that I'm expected, well, at least by your expectations, to join?

**KF:** It's rather simple. The roaches and rats I am talking about are Ohio and Texas. Those two are traitorous scum in the eyes of the entire world, and everybody has known that. ...Well, apart from at least I think your nation and those two countries as a whole. It is rather... evident that the two were the main trouble causers over the years, and the day we see them gone is the day the world shall celebrate. I think your nation has already opened their eyes.

**JB:** U-uuuhm... Okay? What about the alliance?

**KF:** Oh, that's the fun part. You and the country you lead are welcome with open arms to the United Major Forces Alliance, should you choose to abandon them and leave them to implode, saving the world from the stress of the two.

**JB:** H-hold on, hold on. I can definitely understand Texas being a cause for concern in terms of Louisianian affairs. Texas has acted a fool for presumably decades, making mind-baffling decisions and costing us our own sovereignty, but Ohio? We're as thick as thieves! Nobody has saw any wrong in us for being together! Throughout the years we've looked for each other, and saved our own skin. Louisiana wouldn't be here without them.

**KF:** Listen to me. I know it is hard to leave your allies, including your best ally, but it's for better ones and the two have been wreaking havoc. I promise you'll get everything that will make your nation stand out from the rest. Ohio had betrayed me and will soon betray you as well, leaving you high and dry, and looking for other friends to assist you in your efforts in case war happens. You can probably guess what Texas will do, considering their unstable history. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You MUST not squander it for the worse things.

**JB:** I'm sorry, Mr. Farzoni, but I believe in my one and only ally that we stick together through and through, and that is Ohio. I am grateful that you have decided to offer me, but I fear that it would go against this nation's tradition and morals. I hope you understand this.

**KF:** ENOUGH! You have tested my patience, Buroe. You think that I risked my liberty, my justice, JUST SO YOU CAN BETRAY ME!? You are sticking to your flawed morals which were proven to be A MOOT POINT! You and Ohio couldn't reach the same level of wealth as glorious Arabmaztan could! Don't come crying to me once Texas invades your land because you left them. The only one that will be fighting for your liberty is Ohio, and I find it impossible that you and Ohio can fare well...

**KF:** HURAAS! MURAFAQAT HADHA ALEUDHR ALQADHIR LIL'IINSAN BEYDAN EAN MIN EAYNAY! [Translation: GUARDS! ESCORT THIS FILTHY EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING OUT OF MY SIGHT!]

*Joseph Buroe is escorted out of the hotel. He could hear only the English parts of Kahmir Farzoni's rant.*

**KF:** TILK ALDUWDAT ALQADHIRATU! HADHA MUTHIR LILIASHMIZAZ WADIE DUN ALBASHARI! HARQ ALNAAR EALAA BATUN RUJ WAKULUMBUS! [Translation: THAT FILTHY WORM! THAT DISGUSTING LOWLIFE SUBHUMAN! SCORCHING FIRE UPON BATON ROUGE AND COLUMBUS!] A TOTAL DISGRACE! A TRAITOR! BUROE AND HIS NATION IS TRAITOROUS SCUM! OHIO AND TEXAS ARE ROACHES AND RATS! 'URID RASAH EALAA MISMAR! [Translation: I WANT HIS HEAD ON A SPIKE!]
