Hi! This is my sandbox where I talk about an alternate future of Bir Tawil. (Please don't read this I wanted to set this to private but apparently you can't do that :|)

Tawilean Coptic[edit]

Tawilean Coptic, also known as Tawilean, Modern Coptic or simply Coptic, is a modern form of the Coptic language. Widely considered a mixed language, it arose during the settlement of Bir Tawil and has elements from Egyptian, Sudanese and Yemeni Arabic. Written in the Cyrillic script following the 2033 orthography reform, Tawilean has been the lingua franca of the Tawileans and was codified as an official language after the Tawilean Revolution of 2039.

One of the fastest-growing languages in Africa, Tawliean continues to prosper due to Tawliean influence in trade around North Africa.

History[edit]

During the settlement of Bir Tawil, thousands of Oriental Orthodox migrants and refugees from across the Arab world arrived in Bir Tawil. Tawilean Coptic was very involved with the early Tawilean political landscape and was a contentious issue. Islamic settler interest groups were against the state promotion of the extinct Coptic language while the Christian-majority Tawilean Front and the Qym Forces fervently defended this policy.

Following Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi's seizure of power in 2032, Arabic was made the official language and Coptic was condemned; however, Coptic elements remained in use in day-to-day conversation. After the 2039 Revolution, these elements enjoyed a legal gradual re-admittance into the Tawilean lingua franca, with Tawilean being codified as one of the two official languages in Bir Tawil, other than Arabic.

Tawilean invasion of Sudan[edit]

The Tawilean invasion of Sudan, also known as the Five-Day War, was an invasion of Sudan by the Union of Bir Tawil. It ended with the defeat of Sudan under Dagalo and the annexation of several Sudanese regions by Bir Tawil. The invasion ended the multi-front armed conflict that year known as the Sudan War. The invasion paved way for Chadian, South Sudanese, Tawilean and Egyptian dominance in the region.

Background[edit]

Tensions between Bir Tawil and Sudan had been high since the 2039 Tawilean Revolution which deposed the pro-Sudanese leader of Bir Tawil, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi. Post-revolution, Bir Tawil had followed a vigorous policy of realignment with the West and the United States. In accordance with the Coalition's Dendera conference of December 2040, Chad had ramped up attacks and cross-border raids in the Darfur region and South Sudan commenced the militarization of the numerous disputed territories with Sudan.

In a sting operation in Abu Hamad known to Tawilean leadership as Operation Nineveh, the General Intelligence service of Sudan raided the Tawilean-owned Abu Hamad lock on 25 January, which supplied Bir Tawil with water through Wadi Tawil. Tawilean leadership used the seizure as justification to deploy the Tawilean National Guard. Samir Hadid, the Marshal of the Army of Bir Tawil, organized a rally in the Gabgabah stadium on the 1st of February calling for the "finalization of the Revolution".

By any and all means necessary, Bir Tawil will be made fearsome and fearless. In the south, north, east, west, from the Red Sea to the Nile, a Tawilean should be able to be proud to say that he is a Tawilean. We must finalize the revolution by pacifying the oppressors that strangle us, that smother the national flame.

— Fatima Hawara Muhammad, Address in the Gabgabah stadium

Moments later, the Tawilean Army struck Sudanese forces in Abu Hamad, beginning the invasion of Sudan.

Tawilean offensive[edit]

The military strategy of Bir Tawil consisted of consolidating divisions and taking one city at a time. Divisions were positioned on hills on the right bank of the Nile, sending waves of shock troops into cities. Upon retaliation, elite troops supported by artillery would trap and destroy the enemy soldiers.

Battle of Merowe[edit]

Within 10 hours of the declaration of war, Tawileans had overrun the under-equipped and initially numerically inferior Sudanese forces in Abu Hamad. They arrived in Merowe by midnight 2 February where they engaged in a bombardment in the city, with artillery and reconnaissance critically provided by NATO countries and Egypt. By the end of the day, falling morale in Merowe caused the RSF in the city to surrender, allowing Bir Tawil to take highway A11 to Dongola without resistance, capturing the GNPC Oil Developement Pipeline (Ed Damer - Wadi Halfa).

Battle of Atbara[edit]

On 3 February, it was communicated over social media that if Sudanese forces did not allow the Coalition to occupy all of Sudan, the Merowe dam would be blown up, potentially flooding cities in the Karima area and endangering the vast heritage sites in and around Meroe. Sudanese forces promptly withdrew, but amidst the arrival of newly-mustered army divisions, Dagalo, the leader of Sudan, decided to make a stand in Atbara. Unkown to the Sudanese, Special Forces of the Army of Bir Tawil were already camped out on the road to Port Sudan and in Umm 'Ajajah, a town to the south which they had reached during the previous night via the non-secured Atbara south bridge. When Sudanese forces arrived from the north, they faced a surprise attack from the south and east, forcing them to cross the Nile river where many of them were killed. The remnants of the destroyed Sudanese division fled in disarray or surrendered by 3 February.

Battles of Haiya and Port Sudan[edit]

After the Battle of Atbara, Tawileans proceeded along the desert road to Port Sudan. However, Sudanese soldiers had been stationed secretly in Haiya, a town along the desert road. Immediately upon passing Haiya, the Sudanese soldiers ambushed and decimated the convoy of several regiments. This severely weakened Tawilean control of the Red Sea province, which had completely collapsed by 4 February.

After considering withdrawal from Atbara, the decision was made to land plainclothed Tawilean paratroopers in the Port Sudan train station. Tawilean troops took advantage of the relatively developed rail system of the city to set up positions around Port Sudan on the 5th. A false amphibious beach landing was executed, diverting the local guard and wasting time and resources of the Sudanese army, which was weak in the region as they had mainly concentrated in Central Sudan to protect Khartoum. After issuing a decree proclaiming that non-abiders to the evacuation order for Port Sudan would be shot, Tawilean special forces raided tall buildings and secured road junctions before massacring the city's unprepared Defence.

Sudanese withdrawal[edit]

The Sudanese ground forces then embarked on a short withdrawal to the Ed Damer - Agig line, which was reached by midnight 6th February. This line was maintained until the Treaty of Abu Simbel was signed later that day.

The Sudan War was an armed conflict between Sudan and the 4-country Dendera coalition. It began on December 12, 2040 and lasted until February 7, 2041. It was the culmination of the Tawilean Crisis, which was a period of high tensions between the revolutionary transitional government of Bir Tawil and Sudan marked by Sudanese strikes into Bir Tawil.

Background[edit]

In 2039, the pro-Sudanese government of Bir Tawil, led by Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, was toppled in the Tawilean Revolution. Sudanese involvement against the Tawilean Revolution in support of the pro-Sudanese government was overt and aggressive. The president of Sudan, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, pursued a policy of armed harassment of the Tawilean border and rocket strikes into Bir Tawil.

Rebel factions operating in the Darfur and Nuba Mountains had seen support by Chad, though not full inclusion in military planning or the Dendera coalition.

Tawilean military planning for a war with Sudan had begun sometime soon after the Tawilean Revolution. One of the primary goals of the revolutionary government was the assert presence in Northern Sudan and gain fertile lands. The Chadian government, which had had souring relations with Sudan, wished to stabilize the Darfur. South Sudan was looking to resolve the multiple territorial disputes with Sudan, as well as to gain the oilfields along the border region. Egypt also participated, seeking to legitimize their claims over the Hala'ib Triangle by occupying it.

Ground offensive[edit]

Chadian and South Sudanese cross-border attacks[edit]

In December 2040, representatives from the four countries held a conference in Dendera Temple, Egypt. Over the course of a week, attack plans on Sudan had been finalized. On 24 December, Tawilean general Abdullah Salim Rejf struck an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense and to provide military equipment to the Tawilean Ground Forces.

On December 29, 2040, South Sudan invaded the Abyei and Kafia Kingi and encountered resistance on approach to Abu Jubayhah and Kaduqli in South Kordofan. The South Sudanese strategy was to reach and secure the cities along Et-Talha (a tributary of the White Nile) in up to 1 week. However, by 4 January, only one city (Abyei) had been secured and protracted battles were still ongoing in South Kordofan. On January 1, 2041, Chad announced an escalation of intervention in the Darfur region, the stated purpose being to provide humanitarian assistance. Later that day, the seizures of Geneina and Zalingei had been completed. Darfuri rebels had secured the road from El Fashir to Nyala by 8 January, and were in effective firing distance of En Nahud. Fearing encirclement, Sudanese forces retreated out of West Kordofan and East Darfur to El-Obeid.

Kaduqli was only overrun on 19 January, followed by Diling on 21 January. The Battle of Abu Jubayah was still ongoing but had reached a stalemate.

Throughout the conflict South Sudan pursued a "strangle and siphon" strategy in which they advanced along major oil pipelines to deprive Sudan of raw petroleum and fuel the offensive. This is believed to have amplified major inefficiencies in Sudanese strategy, which was already plagued by discoordination, fraudulence and poor communication.

Tawilean invasion of Sudan[edit]

Following the 25 January sting operation in Abu Hamad, the Union of Bir Tawil invaded Sudan on February 1. This permitted breakthroughs in the south, starting with the decisive battle of Kusti. This paved way for South Sudanese forces to reach the Et-Talha, virtually bloodlessly seizing Er-Rahad and Umm Ruwaba both by February 5.

The Egyptian Army entered Halaib on February 2, occupying the whole of the Triangle the following day.

Foreign involvement[edit]

United Nations[edit]

UN Security Council Resolution 3011 condemned Sudan's strikes against Bir Tawil. Resolution 3013 condemned state-sanctioned Janjaweed raids into Chad.

Later, Resolution 3086, passed on January 3, 2041, condemned the Dendera Coalition's interference with Sudan's internal affairs, including the invasion of Sudan.

There was no UN-sanctioned military response to neither the Tawilean Crisis nor the Sudan War.

The UN supervised swelling refugee camps in Khartoum from January 21 to November 30, 2041.

NATO members[edit]

Although a coordinated NATO attack on Sudan was never considered, every member of the treaty organization except Albania and Turkey provided some form of lethal aid to Chad and Bir Tawil, including Javelins, Leopard, Challenger and T-84 Oplot tanks, aerial reconnaissance, attack drones, and a large variety of small arms.

African Union[edit]

The African Union suspended Chad on 16 January and Bir Tawil on 1 February. They both regained permanent membership in October 2041.

UN-AU peacekeeping force[edit]

On 15 February, the United Nations and the African Union established a temporary joint humanitarian and peacekeeping force in Darfur, Southern Sudan and Tawilean-annexed territories, as well as a disengagement observer force on the new southern border of Bir Tawil.

Aftermath[edit]

The Sudan War caused a large refugee crisis in which 1.2 million Sudanese were displaced. This caused chaos in various Urban areas in which refugees and locals clashed and rioted against each other. Smaller influxes of refugees also occured in Southern Italy and Greece.

The War officially ended on 7 February upon the signature of the Treaty of Abu Simbel, which came into effect the following day, upon which Northeastern Sudan was occupied by Bir Tawil, portions of the Darfur were occupied by Chad and South Sudan, Egypt occupied the Hala'ib Triangle and South Sudan occupied disputed territories as well as the Blue Nile state.

Economic downturn in Sudan, as well as discontent with the Abu Simbel Treaty, resulted in a military coup in Sudan in June 2041. The new junta scrapped the treaty and decreed large-scale general mobilization, but were unable to attack the Dendera coalition. As a result, a rebellion occurred in Khartoum, after which Sudan largely disintegrated into regional factions, and an offshoot of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb started to initiate terrorist attacks across both the Coalition and Sudan. As a result, South Sudan withdrew from the Coalition and signed separate agreements with various Sudanese factions.

The Second Sudanese Civil War began as the culmination of these regional rivalries, destabilizing the Chadian Darfur and causing a larger humanitarian crisis in which a further 3.6 million Sudanese are currently displaced.

Economic effects in Bir Tawil[edit]

Bir Tawil entered into a 2-year-long recession upon the cessation of foreign investment. On top of that, an unproductive 2041 harvest season caused the Great Tawilean Famine in which up to 40,000 people out of 1.8 million died.

Dramatic shifts in Tawilean societal structure were observed and the economy was re-focused on Gold exports and Information Technology. A regrowth followed, ending upon the accession of Hamza Sharif to the presidency in 2044.

The Union of Bir Tawil is a sovereign state in North Africa.

The history of Bir Tawil, a country situated between Egypt and Sudan, spans ancient civilizations and modern politics. Nubia, including Bir Tawil, traces back to 3000 BC and was historically significant for ancient civilizations such as the Kushite city of Kerma and the enduring pyramids and temples at Meroe. In contemporary times, the region experienced authoritarianism marked by political reforms during the Christian settlement of the Nubian interior and subsequent conflicts.

Bir Tawil's economy is diverse, supported by key sectors like gold mining, Information Technology (IT), and a burgeoning tourism industry. The implementation of economic models aimed at development and closer ties with the West marked a significant economic shift. Natural wonders such as the Nubian desert, scenic landscapes in Tel Tawil, and the biodiverse Ghel Bal National Park have contributed to the region's tourism growth. Meanwhile, the cultural heritage of Bir Tawil is exemplified by ancient sites like the Kushite city of Kerma and the architectural marvels of pyramids and temples at Meroe, showcasing the rich historical legacy of the region.

History[edit]

Colonial history[edit]

On 19 January 1899, an agreement between the United Kingdom and Egypt relating to the administration of Sudan defined "Soudan" as the "territories south of the 22nd parallel of latitude". It contained a provision that would give Egypt control of the Red Sea port of Suakin, but an amendment on 10 July 1899 gave Suakin to Sudan instead.

On 4 November 1902, the UK drew a separate "administrative boundary", intended to reflect the actual use of the land by the tribes in the region. Bir Tawil was grazing land used by the Ababda tribe based near Aswan, and thus was placed under Egyptian administration from Cairo. Similarly, the Hala'ib Triangle to the northeast was placed under the British governor of Sudan, because its inhabitants were culturally closer to Khartoum.

Post-colonial history[edit]

Egypt claimed the original border from 1899, the 22nd parallel, which placed the Hala'ib Triangle within Egypt and the Bir Tawil area within Sudan. Sudan, however, claimed the administrative border of 1902, which would put Hala'ib within Sudan, and Bir Tawil within Egypt. As a result, both states claimed Hala'ib and neither claimed the much less valuable Bir Tawil area, which is only a tenth the size, and had no permanent settlements or access to the sea. There was no basis in international law for either Sudan or Egypt to claim both territories, and neither nation was willing to cede Hala'ib. With no third state claiming the neglected area, Bir Tawil was one of the few land areas of the world not claimed by any recognised state.

In 2025, during the wave of anti-Christian violence in the Middle East, China and India, Egyptian Christian intellectuals espoused embraced a vision of the creation of a Christian state within the then-terra nullus of Bir Tawil. This culminated in the worldwide Tawilean movement, a pan-Christian movement which advocated for Bir Tawil to be settled by Christians of all backgrounds, a notion known as Tawileanism. By January 2027, the Tawilean National Fund, a public-interest group espousing Christian rule in Bir Tawil, had raised over $6.1 billion USD for the settlement effort. By 2028, just under 6,000 people had settled in Bir Tawil. Most (72.1%) settlers consisted of temporary workers employed by the Fund to construct the Great Tawilean Canal. Approximately 26.4% consisted of Egyptian Copts, while the remaining consisted of Christians of other ethnicities, including Sudanese and Yemeni Christians. By the end of the year, more than 15,000 people were living in tents in Bir Tawil.

This is also when the Bir Tawil Clerical Council (representing different religions) and House of Regions were set up as a temporary legislature. The canal was privately owned by the National Fund-funded Bir Tawil Water, until the legislature voted for nationalization of the canal, and incorporation into the government as the Ministry of Water, later integrated into the much broader Ministry of Utilities. This ministry publicly funded the man-made deltification of the Great Tawilean Canal into the Tawil Lake, which fertilized up to 400 square kilometers of land through the depositing of silt; the nature of Nubian bedrock prevented over-siltation in Bir Tawil. Bir Tawil was admitted as a member state of the United Nations on 21 December 2027.

Bir Tawil suffered from corruption and authoritarian backsliding in its early years. After the African Dust Bowl of 2028, the economy of the country took a sharp hit, adding to political tensions in the nation.

The Tawilean populace, especially the working class, were discontent with the inefficiency and authoritarianism of the government of Bir Tawil. An outspoken Clerical Council member, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, ran for election in 2031 on the Arab Socialist ticket. Gaddafi won the election in a landslide due to his galvanization of the working class and non-Christian Tawileans.

Upon victory in the election, Gaddafi declared a state of emergency in Bir Tawil owing to the environmental disaster of 2030, alleged to be amplified by the "kleptocratic" practices of the "Jesuit" elite. He pushed centralizing legislation through the Clerical Council, gaining near-dictatorial power by the end of the year. Gaddafi realigned Bir Tawil with the Eastern bloc, as exemplified in the controversial Sino-Tawilean trade deal and the deployment of the Russian 3rd Army Corps in Bir Tawil. Other parties, as well as factions within Tawilean Arab Socialism, were banned and the House of Regions was dissolved in a bloodless self-coup on 2 January 2032. This marked the beginning of the Bir Tawil Guerrilla War perpetrated by the "political resistance" - an alliance of banned Christian parties under military officer Daniel Ibrahim.

The insurgency, which was concentrated in the majority Coptic regions of New Gebelein and Al-Andalus, carried out raids on army barracks and recieved intelligence aid from the SIS, GCHQ, CIA and Directorate-General for External Security. In March 2031, the majority-Christian village of Aboughalbi was massacred as retaliation for a bomb attack on the Clerical Council. This drew widespread condemnation worldwide, with the UN Security Council breaking a historic deadlock over the war in Bir Tawil. Sanctions against Bir Tawil from 2031 and Egyptian missile strikes on military infrastructure from 2033 lasted until the Tawilean Revolution.

During the Guerrilla War, the Christian resistance experienced a rift between Nationalist and Social-Democratic elements. This culminated with the 2034 Al-Andalus attack in which leftist Christian commanders were alleged to have collaborated with the Arab government to bomb a secret meeting of the Nationalist forces.

Gaddafi wished to achieve Arab Socialism in Bir Tawil. His administration oversaw the augmentation and widening of the Great Tawiliean Canal, opening economic prospects in sub-Saharan Africa. The military was bolstered, becoming the third-largest African military, behind Egypt and Algeria. The population also tripled, reaching 67,000 by 2038. Religions other than Islam were outlawed and languages other than Arabic were banned in all contexts.

Post-revolutionary polls showed that the majority (94%) of residents of Bir Tawil identified their ethnicity as "Tawilean", compared to 11% pre-Gaddafi.

Tawilean Revolution[edit]

In Early 2039, the situation grew unstable in Bir Tawil as the insurgency had deteriorated and a vast array of opposition groups - everyone from moderates to terrorists - had orchestrated attacks on federal Tawilean buildings.

On 3 March 2039, a resistance flash mob was organized in New Gebelein. Later, the regional council building of Al-Andalus governorate in New Gebelein was stormed by resistance members. Then, they headed to Al-Andalus central penitentiary and organized a mass break-out. The same scene transpired the following hour in all other governorates except Tel Tawil, where Emergency Response Forces (ERFs) were called to patrol "every street, alley and block". Riots raged around Bir Tawil for days.

The General Ground Forces of Bir Tawil as well as 2 legions of the Sudanese army were mobilized to fight the situation. The Tawilean army saw no combat as they collapsed in disorder due to large-scale mutinies. After a councillor for Sakhra, Massa Yousef bin Alghawaby, was killed by a grenade, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi fled Tel Tawil. By 7 March, he was reported to have left the country entirely. Shortly after, the Sudanese 517th and 518th Special Legions withdrew to Sudan.

During the period following the establishment of “revolutionary police stations” across Bir Tawil, the enforcement by the “public safety corps” intensified, focusing on thwarting any attempts at counter-coups.

Under the provisional government's authority, the inception of the Popular Court occurred, serving as a judicial body to prosecute individuals accused of engaging in “socialist activities” or labeled as reactionaries. Until the conflict with Sudan erupted, the provisional government maintained control over Bir Tawil. By 2040, constitutional reforms were underway during the implementation of the Tawilean Transition to Democracy. This transformative period involved the proposed division of the country into tajamweh and the Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

Economically, a neoliberal approach mirroring the “Singapore model” was adopted as the developmental paradigm. Ibrahim's administration sought closer ties with Western nations, initially encountering domestic discontent. However, market downturns in 2040 led to a rise in income inequality and extreme poverty, commonly referred to as the "xse'runy sny" (хсе'руни щни; hard times). Concerns over a potential resurgence of a Gaddafist administration prompted Ibrahim to incorporate the Special Economic Zone into Tel Tawil as a distinct tajamweh (later nullified upon national reorganization under the governorate system). Additionally, programs addressing women, impoverished segments, diverse minority groups, environmental initiatives, and the renationalization of previously outsourced industries bolstered legitimacy for the new government.

Administration of Daniel Ibrahim[edit]

During the period between 2041 and 2050 in Bir Tawil, under Ibrahim's leadership following the Treaty of Abu Simbel, Ibrahim's presidency heralded the Transition to Democracy in 2043.

Economically, Bir Tawil witnessed growth, exemplified by an increase in GDP per capita, reaching an estimated $22,970 USD by 2044. This period saw the launch of the Bir Tawil Development Initiative in 2045, aiming to fortify infrastructure and attract foreign investments. By 2048, this initiative led to a remarkable influx of foreign direct investment, totaling a record high of $5.7 billion USD, showcasing growing confidence in Bir Tawil's economic prospects. The implementation of the gold standard in Tel Tawil in 2046 brought about a commendable 30% surge in agricultural output within two years, benefiting local farmers and contributing significantly to poverty alleviation efforts. Simultaneously, advancements in the Information Technology sector soared with the establishment of the National Innovation Fund in 2047. This initiative spurred a 220% growth in the IT industry, providing substantial employment opportunities, particularly for the burgeoning youth population. Bir Tawil's tourism sector flourished during Ibrahim's tenure, experiencing substantial growth and attracting a considerable influx of international visitors. By 2049, tourism revenue surged to a record-breaking $3.2 billion USD.

Despite overall economic growth, income disparities persisted, disproportionately favoring affluent segments of society. Questions arose regarding the long-term viability of the gold standard due to risks associated with commodity-backed currencies, such as market volatility and limitations in adapting to changing economic conditions. Despite advancements in the Information Technology sector, accessibility and utilization of advanced technologies remained a challenge for certain segments of the population, especially in rural tajamweh.
