Operation Sadean

Sadean is a country that was ruled by a cruel dictator, named Salaman. This dictator took advantage of the citizens, raised the taxes, and killed his opponents.

One day, orphans whose parents were killed by Salaman’s soldiers, decided to unite and fight against him together. Their leader John, came up with a genius operation to replace Salaman and to make the country democratic:

John knew that Salaman was going to have a fancy party for his daughter’s birthday on a ship. He knew there was not going to be a lot of security there, and there wouldn’t be an option to call for backup.

He thought it was a great opportunity to take control of the ship, to take Salaman hostage and to make him give up power.

Here’s how the plan went: John and 15 more orphans pretended to be maintenance workers of the ship. A few days before sailing, they smuggled guns and smoke grenades into the ship. They wanted to take control of the ship with as few deaths as possible.

The day of the party had arrived, the weapons were inside the ship and the sailing was about to begin.

A few minutes after the sailing had begun and the beach had been far enough away, the takeover began. The orphans used smoke grenades in order to neutralize as many Salaman’s soldiers as possible without killing them, and after a long and exhausting fight with the soldiers, they succeeded in taking over the ship without killing any of the soldiers, but with 5 killed on their side.

They were sailing back to the beach with Salaman as their hostage, ready to replace him and make the country democratic. However, right before they arrived at the beach, Salaman escaped, jumped into the water and started swimming to the beach.  

John, the leader of the orphans, had to make a decision: if Salaman gets to the beach, the operation would fail and the orphans would get caught. He could have just shooted Salaman and killed him, but he wanted his country to be democratic, and John believed that in a democracy you can’t just kill people, even if they are dangerous and evil. 

Suddenly John noticed that a shark was heading towards Salaman. He understood that if he wouldn’t take action in the next few seconds, Salaman would get killed. Although he could have easily let him die, John decided to save Salaman and put him back on the ship. After seeing John’s unselfish act, Salaman understood that they are people who would be much better prime ministers than him, and decided to give up power and make democratic elections for prime minister. John won the elections and became the prime minister of Sadean.
