Anti Tuvarian Militant Organization
The Anti Tuvarian Militant Organization (ATMO), is an Ultra Nationalist, Hirdist, Aranistani organization that has been in operation since 1963. ATMO believes that the Tuvarians are a plague brought to the Urth to destroy Almodaria and has found support from other nationalists in Skavari, Almodor, and Varatistan. The group has been deemed a "Significant and Deadly Threat" by the Almodarian Government and civilians are advised to stay away from people suspected of being connected to the group.
History (1963-Present)
1963-1972
ATMO was founded by a student named Edin Casinovic (1943-1972) in 1963. Edin had a history of acting out in school and bullying his Tuvarian Classmates. sometime in the late 1950s, Edin began researching the political ideology of Hirdism. He was intrigued by the beliefs that Hirdism held up such as Ultra Nationalism and Radical Secularism. He began recruiting close friends into a group originally called the Anti North Almodarian People's Organization (ANAPO) during the time prior to the unification of the states. ANAPO members donned fully black clothing, and black balaclava masks on occasions prior to when crime began to spring up from the group. The groups first criminal attack occured in 1966 against a group of Prostoric Church goers in Aranistan. The targeted attendees were a 38-year-old male and a 36-year-old female. The two were kidnapped by ANAPO agents and were beaten before being left tied up in a dumpster. Police interrigation of the two victims led to no leads apart from one recalling that the agents were wearing full black, were average height, and had wide builds. The first ANAPO agent that was interrigated was the group's founder Edin. Edin refused to give any information unless he had a lawyer, but the police refused to answer his demands and put him into holding. During this holding period, the ANAPO agents who committed the crime were refusing to give any more information even with a lawyer and were given a court date where they were then found guilty of Murder and put in jail for life. Edin was furious about the ruling and believed that it was the Tuvarian court was biased against Aranistani's who had a history of bad relations with their northwestern brothers. In 1968, Edin was expelled from school for handing out anti-Tuvarian propaganda to classmates and in some cases, selling weapons to his Aranistani friends to threaten Tuvarians.
He was kicked out of his home by his parents in 1970 and in reaction, him and other ANAPO members moved their operation to the barren west of Tuvaria. In 1972, the group was rebranded as the Anti Tuvarian Militant Organization (ATMO) but in the same year this occured, Edin was killed in a drive by shooting set up by Tuvarian secret Police in November of 1972. It is believed that
