Khundu National Army

Khundu National Army troops, estimated at 50 strong, ambush a U.S. Marines humvee during a routine patrol of Bitanga airport perimeter. They abduct three Marines—Lance Corporals John Halley and Raymond Rowe, and PFC Herman Hernandez—then demand immunity and $500 million ransom. Linked to President Nzele, the group triggers White House ultimatums relayed through Ghana and news broadcasts that personalize the Khundu crisis. Their bold strike escalates U.S. military mobilization and diplomatic pressure amid the nine-hour countdown and broader genocide against Induye people.
