Battle of Georgetown
[edit | edit source]Under Cakau's leadership, resistance forces conducted a prolonged six-day ground assault against the central command in Georgetown. The opening attack disrupted the forces trying to stop Mark Hugerinus Paap from reaching Eef Paap at Ipota.
During the fighting, resistance forces isolated or overran government and security offices. The headquarters of the Hauptinspektionsamt der Schutzpolizei was wiped out during the assault after its remaining personnel attempted to destroy internal files. The battle ended with the central command's surrender on 30 November 2024.
