Current military situation in Novograd, Red controlled by military, Blue controlled by Pro-Government/Rebels
On April 12, 2016 a coup d'etat was launched by a faction of the Novograd Armed Forces in order to overthrow the elected government and replace it with a military junta. Novogradi president Ivan Tenyuksh was assasinated by the coupist soldiers a few days after the coup was launched. Death of Ivan Tenyuksh sparked a revolution. President's death severely demoralized pro-government military troops and most of them changed side or surrendered. Valeriy Poltorak, a general of the Novgogradi Armed Forces and claimed leader of the coup has stated that the coup was launched because of the government 'power grabbing', which many of the Novgogradi citizens disagreed.
On August 29, 2016 pro-Tenyuksh supporters launched an attack against the junta using molotovs, AK-47s and other captured weapons. 104 citizens were killed/wounded along with 4 military personnel and 7 police officers. After the incident many other Tenyuksh supporters started protesting against the junta.
On September 2, 2016 an attack against the junta was launched by democracy supporters in order to restore democracy back in the country, which eventually led to a civil war. The pro-democracy fighters managed to capture some of the Novogradi military equipment and recruit hundreds if not thousands of fighters via internet recruitment, messages and etc. in a matter of time.
Right now the country is split between two factions. Pro-democracy fighters already asked for help from foreign powers, on the other hand the military junta also expects the support of international community.
Rules:
1. No nukes or any kind of WMDs.
2. OP's word is law.
3. I'll be RPing both rebels and the junta.
4. No, you can't just deploy a ridiculous amount of troops out of nowhere.
5. No metagaming.
