Guyana, South America 17th April 2023

Current Situation:

Following a coup d’etat in August 2021 which ousted General Nicholas Ortega from power the nation of Guyana descended into chaos.

During the coup, Ortega managed to flee the capital which was seized by the Guyanese Defence Forces (GDF) and took shelter at the ExxonMobil head offices in the region. While Ortega waited for an airlift out of the country, GDF units located and surrounded his position. After a fierce firefight Red River Contracts who were on task protecting ExxonMobil’s assets in the region were forced to pull back leaving only the Generals personal defence forces, ‘La Unidad’ to protect him. The elite ‘La Unidad’ forces, although outnumbered, managed to defend a strongpoint within the compound and Ortega slipped through the encirclement before he could be captured. His airlift attempt thwarted by the GDF assault however, Ortega and his close protection detail were forced to take to the hills and go to ground. The Guyanese military imposed an immediate no fly zone and set up blockades on all routes in and out of the country preventing his extraction by foreign agents and supporters.

Following the Coup, ExxonMobil’s offices were completely destroyed forcing Red River Contracts to pull out of the country entirely. Ortega is now seeking to reestablish a power base in the region and is believed to be conducting a campaign to win over the hearts and minds of the local population. GDF intel reports indicate that Ortega is operating from the Acarai Mountains, a forested highland region of low mountains which borders Brazil. GDF forces have dropped a recon team on the border to try and locate Ortega’s forces and gather intel on the ground.
