Radical Welsh Independence Army (NineElm)

Formation
RIWA was formed in 2029, and started as a political party that stood for Welsh Independence and the formation of the Celtic Union. The party later became a large paramilitary group in September that year, and was the largest in Europe.

Beliefs
RIWA believed that the country of Wales was being exploited by the United Kingdom for resources, land and cheap labour, despite being one of the most deprived areas of Western Europe. They also had a strong hatred for the British Conservative Party, who had a history of corruption surrounding Wales, such as the 2027 Swansea Power Surge Incident, which killed 12 onboard a tram when a power surge caused explosions, the Conservative Party blamed the National Grid for the incident, however budget cuts to the area made by the party were found to be the real reason.

They held many parades around areas of great deprivation, and were once classed as the most dangerous group in the world. These parades often clashed with Pro-British parties, often resulting in great violence.

Attacks
RAF Valley Attack: In March 2031, a bomb was detonated in a training camp at RAF Valley, slightly injuring 4 soldiers. The bomb was accompanied by a message displayed online, that the bomb was planted by RIWA, and that the bombings would continue if the British Government continued to occupy the Republic of Wales.

Zero Day (NineElm) attacks:

In the same year, five bombs were detonated around the UK, 4 in London and 1 in Birmingham. The bombs killed over 350 people, including: The Home secretary and her family, The Welsh Minister, and his children, along with 11 Conservative MPS. RIWA was immediately confirmed to have caused the bombings, with the government being so shook by them that within 24 hours, Wales was ceded, and became and independent country.

Dissolution
Following the Zero Day Attacks, RIWA was dissolved, with Wales dissolving to, to join the Celtic Union. No arrests were ever made against former members of RIWA, and the Government have removed the group from their Terror Group List.
