The 1992 ADTF-Ogonkai skirmishes were a series of minor engagements between the Armed Forces of Ogonkai, commanded by Colonel Atsumoto Daidouji and local portions of the Audonian Democratic Traditionalist Front that took place on December 1, 1992. The skirmishes began as a result of the arrest of Mazeed Al-Yamin, the ADTF's local leader, in a village located near the border with Kandara.
As a result of this, the ADTF accused the Government of Ogonkai of being sympathetic with the waning pan-Audonian communist movement and demanded Al-Yamin's release. Ogonkai's local police refused, stating that Al-Yamin had entered Ogonkai Illegally and that his behavior had been disturbing local residents.
Skirmish
The Ogonkai Armed Forces version of the events states that ADTF fighters attacked 2 local Ogonkan armed posts, killing two Ogonkan soldiers and wounding 10. As a result, colonel Daidouji ordered the troops to mobilize and attack the ADTF fighters that, by this point, were inside of Ogonkan territory. During the fighting, the ADTF fighters were impacted by numerous missiles before fleeing to the Kandaran border, killing 51 of them and wounding 127 of them (5 of which succumbed to their injuries).
Aftermath
The skirmishes had a moderate impact on Ogonkan politics. On December 10, the day in which the National Council decides on the composition of next year's national budget, the budget of the military went from 2.5% of national spending to 4.5%. Interior minister Kiyouji Goto arranged for Al-Yamin's deportation on 12 December without consulting the National Council, an action for which he was heavily criticized. He was removed from his position on December 14 and was replaced by Democratic Progress Party politician Tamemoro Honomi.
On the final National Council session for the year, held on December 20, the ADTF was designated as a Subversive Organization under the Subversive Organizations Act of 1984. This prohibited it from engaging with Ogonkan politics or gaining any sort of political representation.
