In 1994, a political outsider, Yul Ma won the Marshal's election in Soirwind. The populist, revolutionary, and anti-occidental platforms he won on reflected the economic frustration and slowdown Soirwind experienced in the 1990's and turned popular opinions against western nations, in particular Fiannria as exploitative states, using marxist and neocolonial messages. His position outside the political norms rallied together a political maelstrom in the 1996 election which saw a wave of his political allies win in the Senate and the Tyn. Friends and allies of Ma quickly filled up many positions of power in the entirety of the government as Ma, in the laurels of success called upon total freedom from Fiannria and economic autarky as part of a 'true Alshari revolution'. In the following weeks of incitement led to a general strike on Fiannan associated businesses, a drafted bill that would seize Fiannan businesses in make them owned by the state, as well as one that would oust Fiannan military bases from Soirwind. However before the bills were passed an armed group, later analysis concluded they were members of Ma's paramilitary group in training who incited by fervor of their training took their own initiative to assault a Fiannan base. | |||
Casualties were minimal on Fiannan's soldiers, but the total elimination or capture paramilitary members were martyred by the Soirwindic people in the aftermath of the event. This led to further attacks, protests, and riots against the Commonwealth and Fiannan nationals. | |||
In response to the intensifying situation, the President of the Commonwealth issued an order calling all Fiannan nationals to leave the country of Soirwind, and also stated that he would be deploying more forces to Soirwind to help keep the peace and ensure stability in the region. The move, intended to have the effect of calming tensions and concern over the Soirwind issue in the Commonwealth, had the opposite effect in Soirwind, incensing the supporters of Ma to take more actions against the Fiannan military installations int he country and more attacks against Fiannan citizens. Mere days after the announcement of more soldiers to support the peace, a phone call between Marshal Ma and the President ended frostily as both issued ultimatums by the end of the week. | |||
A week later, on April 13th, 1996 at 10:16 PM, operation Safe Haven was underway. This military operation, under the original guise of further forces to protect Fiannan interest was a full military invasion consisting contingents of the Commonwealth Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The morning of the 14th as news started to circulate in Fiannria, the President came on air and confirmed a military operation to safeguard the peace and stability of our partner country was underway, he urged the people of Fiannria to 'support the efforts to protect our Alshari brothers and sisters across the sea' and for 'the people of Soirwind, to stand down and trust that the Commonwealth can right these wrongs'. | |||
Three weeks and four days saw the invasion of Soirwind, seizure of most major urban centers and the ousture of Marshal Ma, the early days of combat saw the Soirwindic military's serious underpreparedness for naval invasion, especially from Fiannria even at that point. Also the ousture and replcement of Soirwindic military staff with Ma loyalists would prove critical. Usage of light infantry and light mobile vehicles across the terrain of Soirwind proved essential to Fiannria's success. On May 7th, 1996, Ma and supporting military staff announced their surrender and would meet to negotiate with Fiannria. In the aftermath, Yul Ma and many of his supporters were removed from power and exiled from the country. Fiannria would oversee reconstruction, redevelopment, and government reestablishment for the next five years, they would also maintain a much more significant presence and begin new programs in Soirwind and further Alshar in years to come following the Intervention. | |||
