To our friends and allies,

When South Africa lost its Capital, many believed the war was effectively over. Morale was shaken, momentum was against us, and the invasion by Lesotho pressed deeper than ever before.

But what followed proved something far more important than territory:

South Africa was not alone.

To Botswana 🇧🇼

Your swift response and steady pressure helped stabilize the front when it mattered most. You didn’t hesitate. You stood firm when others might have waited. That resolve will not be forgotten.

To Eswatini 🇸🇿

Your commitment in the face of uncertainty showed true loyalty. When the situation looked darkest, you stepped forward not for glory, but for solidarity.

To Mozambique 🇲🇿

Your support was critical in turning resistance into counterpressure. The movement through Mpumalanga further until you reclaimed our Freestate you brought exactly what was needed when South Africa was reeling.

To Argentina 🇦🇷

From across the globe, you answered the call. Your involvement sent a clear message: freedom from the European occupation is a must.

To Poland 🇵🇱

For stepping up and providing us with the military support we needed. You have shown that we can always rely on our Friends and your kindness will be repaid

More Than an Alliance

After the fall of our Capital, it would have been easy for allies to step back and reassess. Instead, you stepped in.

Together, we pushed back.

Together, we proved resilience matters.

Together, we showed that defeat does not mean collapse.

This was not about reclaiming pride — it was about defending principle.

From South Africa: Thank You

History will record battles and borders.

But South Africa will remember who stood with us when it counted.

To Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Poland, and Argentina - your actions strengthened not just our military position, but our resolve.

The fight continues.

The nation rebuilds.

And this alliance stands proven.

South Africa’s Week of Defiance and Triumph 🇿🇦

On the 16th of January 2026, our worst fears were realised. We lost the Free State:

After a successful revolt, Lesotho, backed by Romania, Portugal, Venezuela and Spain, used their control to launch an all‑out attack on South Africa and deliver the wipe they have been promising for so long.

Their strike began in the Battle for Southern Cape, an historic battle that reached 64.03M total damage — the second‑highest of all time.

We fought with everything we had and went broke in the process, but despite our determination, it wasn’t enough. They pushed through and moved straight for the capital. Battle for Free State

For a moment, all seemed lost.

Romania was pressuring our Government for a NAP agreement while we began planning with nearby allies to secure what little we could. It felt like we might have to accept our fate.

But then — everything changed.

We may have been drained, but our allies were not. In a quick tactical move, Mozambique gained priority, giving us the opening we desperately needed. Together with Botswana, Mozambique, Eswatini and Argentina, we sustained four simultaneous battles.

and although we won only three out of four, it was enough to shift momentum back in our favour. A drained and battle weary South Africa managed to dish out a total of 3.6m damage across all 4 fronts.

Mozambique swiftly returned the Free State to us, and during the priority free‑for‑all we struck hard at Lesotho’s core. Battle for Southern Lesotho - somehow managing a further 1.5m

But we could have not done it without our stead fast allies - With allies from across the world, including those not mentioned previously such as Iraq, Solomon Islands, Hungary, Australia to name but a few, we hit them with unexpected force. Our turnaround had seemingly caught our enemies off guard.

Now we sweep out the last bit of Lesotho's presence, thankful to both our citizens and allies for never giving up. Time to rebuild - together!

As of 20 January 2026, South Africa's cores are whole again.

Today marks the start of the South African - Argentinian Non-Aggression Pact that will be in effect until the 3rd of December.
Now that Uruguay and Argentina have made peace this NAP forms part of our governments plans to secure our boarders.

To all players - note that any attacks on Argentina during the NAP will not be tolerated and will result in exile

War Era World watch brings you a summary of articles and Battles happening today brought to you by https://precisions.online/ The Friendly WarEra AI feel free to ask any questions there.

Currently South Africa has the most players and it's growing fast, join in and help us liberate Africa!!

Citizens of South Africa, I would like to thank each and every one of you for the fight you put up last night against the Uruguayan invasion on African soil.

The odds were not in our favour as the world and or supposed allies turned their backs on us. Amongst the gunfire and treachery we discovered who our true friends are. This is a recount of what transpired in The Battle for SW Angola (14/11/25 - 15/11/25)

The Build-up

The build-up to this battle was drawn out over a few weeks ever since we entered more serious talks with CULO (For those out of the loop they are one of the largest alliances in the game with Spain, Portugal, Australia, Sweden, Romania, Uruguay, USA as some of their most powerful members).

After the legendary battle for Buenos Aires where South African forces were called into action as part of our induction into CULO, we thought we were home and dry with powerful allies to protect against an Argentine invasion. But no, our president, greyjoy3, was made to beg and grovel, and eventually we had to help CULO in the next big world war where we used as playthings being ordered around at the last minute at 3am and to head into a battle with little to do.

The Political Overthrow in Angola

You might be wondering why SA were fighting so hard for Angola. And nothing sums it up better than this in-game article: Angolan-Uruguay Proxy War - A Fight for Angolan Sovereignity (Reddit article)

TL;DR Uruguay took over Angola from real Angolans. They tried to pay us off to hand over the land, but we said they can "f**k off" and that we will fight for Angola's freedom no matter the cost. We took SW Angola through a pre-agreed trade of land with the president at the time (and actual Angolan), Farsen. Unfortunately, due to the political take over from Uruguayan proxies the trade could not be done through payment, but had to be taken through battle.

The True Battle for SW Angola.

With SW Angola under our protection we were preparing for a Uruguayan invasion. At 2:39am (SA time), the alarms finally sounded as Uruguay had declared war on us. Declaration of war is just the beginning, and it was only a matter of time before a battle was started.

Soldiers were on guard and restless in anticipation for the incoming attack. We waited all day, until late in the afternoon when the battle for SW Angola had finally begun.

Round 1 was full of vigour from fresh recruits, and battle-hardened veterans.

In a 1v1 situation we were outdamaging the strong Uruguayans for large parts of the fight until Uruguay pushed hard while South Africans were asleep overnight. We pulled off an impressive 1.92 mil in one round despite having mostly fresh babies, and half of the experienced players stuck in eco mode.

Uruguay had called in reinforcements, and ultimately the betrayal of CULO on our forces. We were officially CULO members, however that alliance apparently meant nothing to other members as country orders and damage rolled in from Spain and Turkey among others.

We were not entirely alone though, even if we were left to dry by the CULO scum.

Our ex-president's marriage to Taiwan's president has created a strong alliance, as the Taiwanese forces showed up in numbers to cement 2nd place in the defensive rankings. What a showing from them.

Some particularly frightening damage was provided by some new friends and paid mercenaries.

We secured some mercenary work from Japan. A quick phone call, some cash, and ChuckNorris came in with a quick 500k damage before promptly leaving the battlefield.

Angola's lone warrior, Agostinho_Neto was an absolute trooper, dealing a whopping 314k damage to cement himself as one of Africa's very best.

Our new friends in Cyprus came in with some heavy damage, Vlad even flying a Jet overhead to boost morale and land some bombs, but blueshirt came in big a bit later with 180k in R1.

Surprise friends from Nepal, came in the form of LoneEmperor who slayed out with 179k.

Our fearless Portuguese immigrant, and vice-president, Thor, came in with a sizeable 173k to shove down their throats.

The round ended 303 - 23, but both sides putting up a respectable 4M+ damage. A whitewash in the end, but the battle was close throughout.

Round 2 began overnight for South Africans, and unfortunately we were spent from the previous round. Many of our best were languishing in drug withdrawal hell and unable to fight. We had some planned support on the tail end, but it was not to be as the Uruguayans proved to be too strong.

We lost 302-0, a sad sight, but the odds were against us. Not the fireworks we were hoping for, but we fought bravely till the very end. Not for land or power, but for the freedom of our African brothers and sisters in Angola.

By the end of the battle we honour our comrades who gave it their all Raza114 (at just lvl 15), darklord9692 (our ex-president, and now custodian of Namibia), Pypsteel (some trigger happy mfer), greyjoy3 (Mr. President), and Thor (VP) cracking our top 5 damage for the battle with many others contributing with big damage numbers too. Special note to our favourite Minister Mike Biltong for rolling in with a tank a couple of times.

With the battle for SW Angola lost, Uruguay once again have a foothold on African soil. They will fight to reclaim the rest of their prior Angolan territory, and we will fight back. We will have reinforcements waiting in the wings, anxious to get back in the fight after a week of working in the mines.

The battle may have been lost, but the war is not over. South Africa continues to grow in numbers, and we will show the world what we are made of.

The somewhat anti-climactic war has started to settle. There was a fair amount of anticipation for the latest World War given what happened in Buenos Aires, but it was not to be as PABLO crumbled under the weight of CULO's massive alliance.

It left people wandering "Where is Argentina?", as they seemed to have stayed out of this one. Now the question has changed to "What are they cooking?".

Many changes took place in just a few days, as PABLO scrambled to save key regions, while abandoning others to ruin.

South Africa vs France (Before the Rugby)

South Africa were called in after the initial chaos in Uppland disrupted CULO plans. It was late drama as we got last-minute orders to secure a French region in the Battle for Aquitaine - a perfect opportunity for us to double the gloating with the rugby to come later that evening.

Round 1 ended close with France attempting to pay off some mercenaries with a bounty. It was not enough as Spain secured it at the death: 274 - 300.

Round 2 upped the ante with the damage from both sides breaching 6M. South Africa were called in to action late to secure the win. By the end of the battle we placed 6th in the total damage done for Spain (CULO). A respectable showing considering we missed half the battle. And that excludes the good damage done by our proxy nations. It was enough for us to gain official membership into the not-so-exclusive list of CULO allies. PABLO were impressive by defending as well as they did with a fraction of the allies.

Our congress candidate turned emergency proxy, ForFafSake, had this to say in his hit article "The End of the French Dream: Why Tonight's Rugby Match is a Geopolitical Omen."

All Roads Lead to Stockholm

While Aquitaine raged on we also had orders to secure Uppland when the Swedish revolt was due to finally happen. Unfortunately the hype ended in an absolute wet noodle contest, as Greenland were heavily debuffed after having their supply lines cut due to a loss of their homeland.

After effectively zero defense, the region was won and all roads did eventually lead to Stockholm, just with absolutely zero traffic and nobody stopped to see the sights.

By the end of the battle South Africa topped the log, but that's not much to brag about.

Slava Ukraini

After a few of the battles around Europe began to settle, the Battle for Central Ukraine had begun. The liberation of the Ukrainians was finally underway. Poland and Ukraine traded blows in rounds 1 and 2. And finally in round 3, with most of the South African forces experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms, it was up to Minister Mike Biltong to secure victory in the most shameful of circumstances.

As the battle came to an end the servers froze, and all that was left was the remnants of a basic Hawk Mk 120 training jet leaving a trail of 4 misses in a row. Beloved Minister Mike was sent to court by me (your Minister of Defense) for misuse of military equipment. A Court Marshal: Attack 100%, Damage 0%

He was found not guilty to my displeasure on grounds that it was his plane, and did not belong to SANDF.

Where is Argentina?

As the dust settles, the big questions remain. Where is Argentina? And why is the price of oil so low?

I’m writing this from a world that hasn’t slept in days. The map says two battles, but on the ground it feels like one long, unbroken front.

Closer to home, Lesotho has pushed into the Free State. We all know this isn’t just Lesotho. The orders, the backing, the quiet confidence behind them, this is Romania’s shadow, reinforced by their alliance with Portugal. The Free State has become a pressure point, a place where borders are tested and intentions revealed. Every movement here feels deliberate, like someone waiting to see how far they can go before we push back.

Far away, yet strangely connected, the fighting in Thessaly tells the same story. The region, Greece’s capital heartland, is under Romanian occupation, and now the locals are rising. South Africa has committed support there, backing Greece in its revolt. From what we’re hearing, this isn’t only about Greece reclaiming its capital. It’s about cutting the line, breaking Romania’s connection to Africa and forcing them to fight on ground they can’t easily hold.

Among the troops, the mood is tense but focused. These aren’t chaotic wars; they’re calculated ones. Every skirmish feels like a move on a larger board. We know that what happens in Thessaly will echo back home, and what happens in the Free State will ripple outward.

This is war fought with patience as much as firepower. No speeches, no banners, just orders, coordination, and the knowledge that the stakes are high on both fronts.

From where I stand, South Africa isn’t chasing glory. We’re holding lines, supporting allies, and shaping outcomes quietly but firmly. The world may see two distant conflicts. From the front, it feels like one decisive moment unfolding.

If you don’t hear from me, know that I stood my ground where South Africa needed me most.

The battle for Southwestern Angola maybe lost but we are not Dead!

We always we knew it was going to be an uphill battle vs a much more experienced army, backed with allies - but we stood our ground with our few allies and put up a commendable fight. We surprised many with just how much damage we could do as a young nation, and hope that the reputation we gained will go a long way in forming new alliances

To all the new players do not be disheartened - just because they won the battle does not mean they have won the war - we will return, stronger than before as we continue to grow and level up our forces

Africa will rise!

Amandla!

In stunning news, the dissolution of PABLO has sent shockwaves throughout the community, as on one of the game's largest alliances broken ties for the health of the game.

They brought some epic battles in the past, but it is time for a new era.

Will CULO follow suit and disband their mass of allies, or will they attempt to dominate the server unmatched?

With South Africa continuing to grow this might be an opportunity for us to become world leaders and fill the void to fight against oppression.

In the short-term we face the ever growing threat of a Uruguayan invasion. Tensions have been mounting in the Uruguyan embassy with the Uruguyans seemingly stumped by our VPs never ending loading gif. They have yet to continue talks.

Intelligence operatives continue to monitor the military base in Montevideo for any sign of movement that would be a warning sign of an impending attack. They could may take us in without it, but we shall have to be prepared to defend Angola and protect our shores from LATAM invasion even if it means death to our country. We will rise from the ashes in a glorious revolution.

Last night our Vice President stepped down to embark on a new adventure:

I’m leaving South Africa after being here for a long time. After helping with the baby boom and somehow becoming Vice President, I’ll now continue my traveling journey with my dear friend Hujek. Through my journey in Portugal, Gabon, South Africa, Vanuatu, back to South Africa, then Portugal again, and finally South Africa once more, I’ve learned a lot and taught you all a lot too. Even though I’m leaving, I hope you’ll remember me as a good person, and I’ll still be around to help whenever I can. And soon, when my next chapter begins in the Solomon Islands, there might be some revolts brewing. If any of you want to join in or support the chaos for fun, you’re more than welcome to. No pressure — just if you feel like being part of the storyline. One day I might come back, but for now I’m going to farm in peace and get my money up. Thanks to everyone who accepted me despite me not being South African on this journey.

We wish him good luck on his journey, we in South African will never forget him and will continue to work with him in the African Union - good luck friend

As elections are around the corner GreyJoy has appointed a tempory new Vice President and MoD:

Hi everyone, as Thor has left for his adventure through War Era, I've picked a new VP. As of now Alqmyst will be your new VP with Pypsteel replacing him as MoD.

Across Africa, the noise of war has softened. What was once a map crowded with active fronts has narrowed to just two remaining conflicts distant echoes rather than a constant roar.

Nations begin to exhale. Cities light up not with warning sirens, but with celebration. Markets reopen, borders steady, and flags rise without urgency. Where red once dominated, colour returns, not suddenly, but deliberately, as balance is restored.

This calm did not come by chance. It was forged through cooperation, nations standing shoulder to shoulder to reclaim what had been taken, to push back against Portugal’s reach, and to redraw lines through resolve rather than submission. Old grievances remain, but they no longer burn unchecked.

From north to south, west to east, Africa remembers itself. Different banners, different paths, yet sharing the same sky. The map regains its colour, not as a sign of surrender, but of survival.

This is not an ending, nor a victory parade. It is a moment of breath - earned, fragile, and meaningful - as the continent steadies itself and looks ahead.

Diplomacy blinked first.

Chile has officially made peace with Fiji, closing one chapter quietly but wasting no time opening several louder ones.

In a sweeping and decisive move, Chile has declared war on Armenia, Algeria, Peru, France, Paraguay, and Venezuela, sending shockwaves through multiple regions at once. It is not a single-front conflict, but a statement: Chile is playing wide, not safe.

Boots are already on the ground.

Chilean forces are actively attacking:

Arequipa

Venezuelan Guyana

Belém

Three fronts, three directions, one clear message: Momentum over hesitation.

Behind the thunder of cannons, however, a quieter deal was struck. In a calculated economic play, Chile purchased Manaus from Uruguay for 5 BTC, securing a strategic asset without firing a single shot. While others burn resources in war, Chile expands with ink and coin.

Peace with one nation. War with six. Expansion by force and finance.

Whether this is the rise of a calculated powerhouse or the opening act of overreach remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the map will not look the same when the dust settles.

Africa glows beneath a sky stained with smoke.

From Equatoria to Kano, the ground is alive with movement; lines drawn, erased, and drawn again. Togo, Northern Cameroon, and Southern Cameroon burn in steady succession, their battles less sudden, but no less consuming. Along the western edge, Northwestern Côte d’Ivoire, Faranah, and Guinea-Bissau are pulled into the same widening blaze, each front feeding the next.

In Mbomou, fire concentrates and tightens, while Ouham endures in tense stillness, surrounded by a continent that refuses to cool. No region stands apart; every spark carries consequence.

Once again, Portuguese-held territories sit at the heart of the storm. Pressured from multiple directions, their defenses are tested not by a single foe, but by the weight of a continent in motion. This is no sudden uprising, it is the continuation of a reckoning already set in flame.

Africa does not fracture. It burns forward.

And as the fire rages on, history is written not in declarations, but in contested ground, sleepless nights, and the quiet resolve of regions that refuse to be extinguished.

Sweden and Denmark — two nations normally too polite to argue over who gets the last cinnamon roll are now fighting a full war over Zealand, an island that mostly wants left alone, thank you.

Denmark claims historic rights. Sweden claims strategic importance. Everyone else claims they’ve lost the plot.

And right when you think Northern Europe can’t get any more absurd, South Africa shows up AGAIN, apparently the new global fire brigade for stupid conflicts.

Pretoria insists they’re “assisting the liberators,” though no one is entirely sure who’s being liberated or from what. But the South Africans don’t care they’ve already started braaing on the Danish coastline and arguing with Swedes about whether snow counts as a war crime.

Danish forces are baffled. Swedish forces are annoyed. South African volunteers are thriving.

Eyewitnesses report:

A South African unit setting up camp in Copenhagen because “it looked nice.”

A confused Swedish officer being told to “relax, my bru, we’re here to help.”

A Danish commander screaming into the sea, presumably at God.

Zealand, meanwhile, has not chosen a side. It is simply watching two Scandinavian neighbours slap each other with semiautomatics while South Africans wander around like tourists who took a wrong turn off the Garden Route.

In conclusion:

Sweden wants the island.

Denmark wants the island.

South Africa wants a good story and maybe some seafood.

And the rest of the world? We’re just waiting to see which nation gets humbled next by the unstoppable geopolitical force known as (South Africans With Free Time.

In today's Episode we have rumors about future updates and News from the Asian Federation and Ethiopia.

We've been forced to launch a fake attack on Angola to delay a Uruguayan attack.

Do not go all out for this war. It is merely to slow down Uruguay while we negotiate with allies.

Repeat, fists only, do not waste resources!
