KPSA

KPSA is the anti-government guerrilla organization created by Ali Al-Saachez in the Republic of Krugis. It was mainly composed of young children that were fighting a jihad (holy war) in the name of "God and Country". The group's purpose was to combat the invading Azadistan forces.



Overview
KPSA was organized as a militant guerrilla composed mainly of young children that were raised and trained in the ways of guerrilla warfare. The children were taught how to use explosives, firearms, and other warfare techniques. KPSA's leader, Ali Al-Saachez, used methods like brainwashing and religious manipulation to get the children to fight his war. Ali Al Saachez' methods were so brutal and he went so far that he even commanded the recruit children to murder their own parents as proof of faith and devotion to God. KPSA's activities were mainly in the Middle East, but Ali Al-Saachez also had operatives overseas committing terrorist acts.

Economic Crisis in the Middle East
The construction of the orbital elevators along with the creation of the new solar energy distribution system brought new financial challenges throughout the world. Middle Eastern countries were specially affected for the regulations that were imposed in the trade of fossil fuels. Various militant groups emerged in the Middle East to start wars to compensate for their poverty.

War with Azadistan
As of 2301, the Republic of Krugis was devastated in an war with the Kingdom of Azadistan. Being a weaker nation, the country was being conquered by Azadistan and pockets of resistance continued to repel the assimilation of Krugis into Azadistan. KPSA was among the militant guerrillas that raised jihad against Azadistan and continued armed conflict throughout villages and towns. The Krugis Ali Al-Saachez would preach about fighting a ''holy war' in the name of God; and that is how he convinced many children to join his organization.

Ireland Bombing
As a part of their overseas operatives, Ali Al-Saachez had a child suicide bomber detonate an explosive within a commercial area in Ireland. The explosion killed many civilians, including the family of Gundam Meister Lockon Stratos.

Final Struggle
In the final days of the war against Azadistan, KPSA was clearly loosing the war. Young member Soran Ibrahim, while seeing all the people dying, came to the conclusion that there was no God in the World. Soran's life was about to end when a enemy mobile suit pointed at him, but he was saved by a a mysterious angelic mobile suit.

Soran was the only survivor of that incident as all other forces were eliminated by Ribbons Almark/0 Gundam. Ribbons was supposed to kill all the witnesses; but seeing the awed young Soran left an impression on him, believing the boy's look to be one of utter admiration and worship" and he let him live. Gundam saved Soran's life and gave him a reason to keep living.

Ali Al-Saachez
Ali Al-Saachez is the creator and leader of KPSA. He was the only adult member as he only recruited children (mainly because they were easier to manipulate). Even if he may look like a religious fundamentalist and a jihadist, it is revealed throughout Mobile Suit Gundam 00 that he is only interested in satisfying his primitive fighting instincts. He's a self admitted enthusiast of war, conflict, and violence. Ali wishes only to experience battles and went into fights for the sheer joy of it.

Soran Ibrahim/Setsuna F. Seiei
Soran Ibrahim was among the children that were recruited by Ali Al-Saachez. AS the other children recruits, Soran was brainwashed to kill his parents. Soran was taught a special form of CQC combat by Ali Al-Saachez, which would influence his fighting style as a Gundam Meister. In the final days of the battle against Azadistan, Soran realized that KPSA methods were wrong; and he was since hunted by his horrible past.

Fon Spaak
Fon Spaak was also dragged to KPSA. It is known that he was also taught the special form of CQC combat by Ali Al-Saachez, but it is unknown if they were aware of each other's involvement.
