The Hurians view everything south of the Sahel as part of their territory, and refuse to change that view. Thus, any attempts to change this will be met with brutal force. The Hurians have already dropped more than half a million soldiers into the region to protect their claims, and seek to kill anyone who planned the seperatist movement. The War Council has been occupied attempting to find a solution to the issue, but all answers keep coming down to war. Thus, few believe this will be a quick and bloodless conflict.
