This scenario assumes that the government of Cameroon has been overthrown in a military coup. In the months following the coup, the new leader of Cameroon has put down all resistance with extraordinary brutality. Thousands of people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been displaced.
Three weeks ago, the new leader of Cameroon put down an uprising in the city of Douala. The military killed over one thousand people, most of them unarmed civilians. Reports have come in describing widespread use of torture against those who have been detained by the government and of the summary execution without trial of dozens of people suspected of being connected to the uprising.
The remaining rebel forces have withdrawn to the coastal town of Kribi. The United Nations is deeply concerned that the leader of Cameroon will launch an all-out attack against Kribi, with little regard for the safety of civilians. Experts fear sanctions will not work, or at least not work quickly enough to prevent tens of thousands of deaths, and that the rest of the world has a very unpleasant choice to make: take action against Cameroon now or wait and perhaps be partly responsible for the massacres that take place.
Ghana has offered the United States the use of one of its air bases. The American President has moved aircraft to Ghana and ordered a Surface Action Group into the Gulf of Guinea. It is not clear, however, whether the Americans will respond if Cameroon moves against Kribi.

Author's Notes
The number of Tomahawk missiles available is deliberate; it reflects mission restrictions.
A delta template .ini file has been included with the .zip file so that one can more easily upgrade the scenario to any future versions of the database.
