That's a genuine mess. You don't see that often.
"The army is falling apart, with desertions growing. Many units are kept in their
bases, essentially under guard by the more loyal troops. But desertions are taking
place anyway. The government wants to avoid entire units deserting, and taking all
their weapons with them. To make up for a manpower shortage, the government
has organized militias from it loyalists. These guys are little better than undisciplined
thugs and are responsible for most of the atrocities."
