Following a poor harvest season in the autumn of 2031-32, bread prices skyrocketed in the early winter food riots broke out. The Yanubi government turned to [[Burgundie]] for foreign aid in March of [[2023]] and was granted a large grain concession from nearby [[Bulkh]]. These grain shipments were initially rushed by starving locals and the Yanubi Gendarmerie National fired on the crowds in a number of locations killing 4 civilians and injuring 12 more across the country. [[Burgundie]] insisted that a detachment of the [[Umardi Askari]] of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] be deployed to ensure the equitable and orderly distribution of the grain on March 3rd and the Yanubi government conceded. On March 4th two Platoons of the [[Umardi Askari]], and the 8th Platoon of SeaBees of the [[Navy_of_Burgundie#Grand_Eastern_Command|Grand Eastern Command]]'s Expeditionary Strike Squadron Kandahar Resolve arrived and established a base of operations just outside the capital Muqadas. On March 9th, the 3rd Independent Company of Forward Air Operators, [[Royal Air Service of Burgundie]] and a platoon of the Provost Gendarmerie of the III Division Foreign Legion arrived to support the expanding mission. The situation stabilized in late March and early April, but the populace grew agitated at the rapid escalation of Burgoignesc forces close to the capital implying that the Yanubi government was not able to manage its own affairs within the country. Following remarks released on May 15th, [[2023]] of the Great Prince of [[Burgundie]] saying "the nations of the [[Middle seas region]] wouldn't exist without [[Burgundie]]. ''Burgaudonie'' is the gateway of civilization on that continent." protesters started to gather around the base that the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] was operating out of. They demanded that the Legionnaires leave and that the [[Global Burgieman]] leave Yanuban and leave its affairs unimpeded. The protest expanded in the first week of June leading to tense negotiations between the Yanubi and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] Foreign Minister. After a week of failed negotiations and multiple crowd rushes of the main gate of the base, illustrating failures in the ability of the Yanubi National Gendarmerie.

Over the night of June 7th a clandestine mission was flown over the capital and a heavy anti-riot truck and a squad of the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]]'s Mobile Gendarmerie were dropped into the base with support from the 3rd Independent Company of Forward Air Operators. When the Yanubi protesters returned on the morning of the 8th they were immediately repulsed and dispersed by the shocking show of organization and force. The rest of the week was relatively calm around the base but numerous, smaller protests occurred throughout the capital city and other regional capitals. The [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]] units were preparing to demobilize on Sunday the 13th, but Saturday morning, after a day of prayer wherein imams around the country railed against [[Burgundie]], a crowd of over 1,000 people gathered outside the base. Efforts to disperse them failed, but they were not able to approach the main gate. By noon the crowd had grown to around 2,500 people. The riot truck's water cannon was used to push the crowds back but the group continued to grow. With all eyes on the events unfolding in the quartier with the base no one noticed a small gathering of military vehicles in the rear of the parliament building. At 1304 local time the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the heads of each branch of the military and the National Gendarmerie stormed the parliament, and declared the republic dissolved. They insisted that all [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] politicians, diplomats, and military personnel leave within 72 hrs.
