Elektrozadovsk, Chernarus — Security officials at the Port of Elektrozadovsk intercepted a crude explosive device aboard a cargo ship bound for Tanoa on Thursday, sparking renewed tensions between the Chernarus government and the anti-war group Trees for Peace, which has been accused of ties to criminal and separatist activities.
The device was discovered during a routine inspection of the vessel, authorities said. A 19-year-old woman, who had chartered passage to Tanoa, was detained and faces charges related to planting the explosive. While her identity remains undisclosed, officials allege she attempted to sabotage the ship’s departure.
The incident has intensified a heated debate over Trees for Peace, a two-year-old peace organization named after a 2022 film depicting atrocities during the Rwandan genocide and pogroms. The group’s charter advocates nonviolent direct action—including marches, picketing military sites, and letter-writing campaigns—to pressure the Chernarus government to end its protracted war against separatist forces in the region.
However, Chernarus authorities have long accused Trees for Peace of covertly supporting organized crime and militias. In a statement Thursday, the Interior Ministry claimed the group funnels fundraising proceeds into “weapons acquisitions, drug trafficking, and human exploitation.” Officials further alleged that roughly one-third of its members use burner phones tied to military intelligence operatives, while another third allegedly communicate with separatist groups to leak Chernarus Defense Forces movements.
A spokesperson for Trees for Peace vehemently denied any connection to the detained woman or the explosive device. “Our mission is to end violence, not fuel it,” the spokesperson said. “These accusations are a blatant attempt to discredit our legitimate, peaceful advocacy.”
The group’s radical factions have also drawn scrutiny. Some members have circulated claims that Chernarus Naval Forces deploy troops to Tanoa, Mexico, and Colombia due to “racist inclinations” among personnel eager to “target non-white populations.” The government dismissed these allegations as “baseless propaganda.”
The arrest comes amid escalating crackdowns on dissent in Chernarus. Critics argue the state is weaponizing security concerns to silence opposition, while officials insist they are curbing legitimate threats to national stability.
As investigations continue, questions linger about the true nature of Trees for Peace and the extent of its influence. For now, the group remains at the center of a fraught ideological battle—one where the line between peace activism and subversion grows increasingly blurred.
