The story:
SECURITY COUNCIL SUB-COMMITTEE (RESOLUTION 1379)
ON GLOBAL LIBERATION ARMY
Report to Security Council: Situational Report (SIT REP) on GLA
Activities
Distribution: Classified
Hotan, China
For several months, observers have expressed concern over the activities
of the Global Liberation Army (GLA). A loose federation of freedom
fighters and terrorists, the GLA has established several strongholds in
the republics of Central Asia. By distributing forces and leadership acrossthe borders of these developing nations, the GLA has thwarted efforts to
engage in meaningful dialogue. Last year, this group without borders
crossed into Western China and began building popular support for anindependent state in this remote region. GLA funding continues to growfrom unknown sources and its leadership remains a mystery.
For the Beijing government, this incursion along its western border couldnot have come at a worse time. The reforms in China’s “Modern Way”
program have produced new civil liberties and excellent growth in
Chinese exports, particularly in light manufacturing and agriculturalproducts. Beijing has repeatedly stated that these changes are here to
stay, a position that does not sit well with the GLA.
Last week, the GLA struck a military depot at Yecheng, stole thousands of
rounds of munitions and destroyed a nuclear power plant. Dangerouslevels of radiation have been detected over 100 kilometres downwind. TheChinese government is furious and has refused to allow observers tomediate discussions with the GLA. Several divisions of the Red Army haveestablished positions in the province along major roadways and rivers.
While the United States continues to provide orbital reconnaissance tothe Security Council, it has failed to contribute troops to peacekeepingefforts in the region. The Council’s refusal to support United Statescounter-terrorist initiatives in the Middle East in recent years has not
been forgotten. USA military forces have remained in port and on base,
venturing out only to secure its coastline.
Scattered intelligence reports arriving from Europe and Asia indicate thatthe GLA has established and funded sleeper cells to further spread its
sphere of influence. If China succeeds in forcing out the GLA, it is
difficult to predict where the group will resurface. The United Stateswould be the logical choice to buttress Chinese efforts to contain the GLA,
but the United States continues to maintain its non-involvement in thismatter. The United States denies the sub-committee’s claim that
eventually the GLA will cross paths with USA forces in Asia or elsewhere
in the world.
The sub-committee recommends to the Security Council that it continueto maintain an open channel with the GLA, to establish a clear set of
boundaries for Chinese activity and to communicate the need for USAparticipation in peacekeeping initiatives before the Council loses itsinfluence on the situation.
