Muv Luv Alternative: Desparation

Historically considered the birthplace and cradle of Humanity, the African continent comprises of many countries and many biomes and has long been a place exploited by more industrial super powers for their vast resources and minerals. To the north and northwest, you have the vast Sahara desert. The central and southern portions of the continent fluctuate between vast savannahs and jungle. The (mostly) united people of Africa, forming the African Union, have managed to keep most of the conflict with the BETA to the northeastern corner, pushing into the Middle-East of the Asian continent and creating a defense line at the Suez Canal, around the southern Mediterranean Sea, and along the Red Sea. To this end, they often work closely with the country of Egypt and the Middle-Eastern Coalition in that region.
