“To Build You Must Destroy” - Meet Meseret
Born from the embers of a fractured African continent, this underground faction has steadily expanded, both its reach and influence. From remote mountain strongholds in the Semien range to hidden forges under Danakil’s sulfuric lakes, Meseret’s members live by one radical conviction: ordinary people, not corporate magnates or distant governments, should decide how Africa rebuilds. Their defiance against outdated hierarchies resonates with anyone who’s ever felt the grind of a broken system.
While the rest of the world debates whether peaceful reform or incremental changes are enough, Meseret takes direct action. Their networks thrive on do-it-yourself solutions, repurposing salvaged tech, harnessing geothermal power to sustain hidden enclaves, and forging improvised weaponry to stand against profiteers who exploit both their land and labor.
Yet Meseret’s fierce commitment to overturning old power structures comes at a price. Those who prefer negotiation over direct confrontation might balk at their “burn it all down” approach, worried about collateral damage and social upheaval. It’s a legitimate concern: Meseret seldom grants second chances to corporate executives who have grown wealthy on the backs of unpaid labor, and their lightning raids often bring them into open conflict with local security forces. Within their ranks, there’s also a pronounced wariness of outsiders, stemming from centuries of broken promises. New recruits must earn trust through tangible contributions, whether smuggling essential supplies or risking their lives to liberate the oppressed.
Despite (or perhaps because of) this militancy, Meseret stands as a beacon for many disillusioned souls. They demand not just fair wages and safe working conditions, but also the right for communities to chart their destinies. In a world haunted by resource wars and post-nuclear-exchange instability, their uncompromising stance on power and justice has ignited hope among the downtrodden. Workers trapped in endless cycles of exploitation see Meseret as a last line of defense, while radical thinkers view it as proof that revolutionary change can still flourish, even in the shadow of massive corporate interests.
Ready to abandon half-measures, Meseret’s promise is plain: they seek to reimagine a continent that values human life over profit. Whether fueled by moral outrage, the sting of personal loss, or the determination to protect their community, Meseret promises a place to direct that rage, and the chance to build something far better from the wreckage left behind.
