oct 9, 2029 - Altian Civil War ends
Description:
During the initial stages of the conflict, territories changed hands multiple times, with the island itself being completely divided along the lines of those who supported the loyalists, the AAF and its allies, or remained neutral.
In order to address the growing humanitarian crisis, a brief six-day ceasefire is eventually declared by the international community, with both sides agreeing to stop the fighting temporarily for aid to get through.
IDAP aid workers and supply convoys are rushed towards villages and towns being held by both sides, but encounter issues after the AAF begin to blockade and deliberately delay shipments from getting through to non-AAF held regions.
Predictably, the ceasefire does not last long as both sides were using the opportunity to regroup their forces for further offensives.
The ceasefire is eventually broken early after the AAF ambush a loyalist squad near Orino, which causes the fighting to break out yet again.
While the loyalists were successful in the first year of the war, support from the population was split against them, and attrition began to take a heavy toll in the following years. NATO support also gradually began to wear thin; unable to keep up with the extensive financial and military aid that was being funnelled to the AAF by CSAT.
The loyalists slowly lost more ground over time, and by the third and fourth years, were unable to hold onto any of the gains that they made.
Signing of the Jerusalem Cease Fire (2030)
By the waning stages of the conflict, the loyalists were reduced to nothing more than a shadow of their original selves. Most of the initial members were either deceased, imprisoned, or missing in action. Meanwhile, Akhanteros' AAF were stronger than ever despite their heavy losses, and were emboldened by their unchallenged streak of victories over the loyalists.
A true peace treaty would eventually be proposed and was largely arranged under CSAT mandate. The two sides would meet and sign a formal agreement to put an end to the fighting.
But for the loyalists that remained, they had virtually nothing left to bargain with in the first place, and were forced to unconditionally give in to Akhanteros' one-sided demands.
With the signing of the Jerusalem Cease Fire agreement, Akhanteros was officially recognised as the legitimate leader of the country. The loyalists were completely dissolved as a military faction, and ceased to exist as a political entity as well.
Many civilians were killed in the fighting and much of the country was completely devastated, with most of the smaller settlements being reduced to rubble and turned into ghost towns littered with landmines and unexploded ordnance. The conflict had also created a refugee crisis, with many citizens attempting to flee or find refuge in other Southern European nations throughout the Mediterranean.
For what was left of the loyalists and the citizens who supported them however, the worst was yet to come. Many were rounded up, imprisoned, and tortured by the new government. Most disappeared without a trace, and their whereabouts continued to remain unclear long after the conflict finished.
Nonetheless, victory had also come at a steep price for Akhanteros. As even though he gained legitimacy and was promised some sense of stability by CSAT, the brutal nature of the post-war crackdowns and corruption that was becoming rife within the AAF alienated many potential supporters.
Indeed, the circumstances that caused the civil war to start in the first place were being repeated yet again, but this time would spur the formation of the Freedom and Independence Army (FIA). While the FIA were not comparable to their loyalist predecessors in pure strength, the new guerilla movement had better numbers, and held a majority when it came to backing from the civilian population.
The country's population had mostly turned against Akhanteros and were (though not overtly) providing support to the FIA, which was slowly becoming a credible threat to the new government's stability. Within the span of just a year, the first outbreak of fighting between the AAF and FIA would begin, forcing the international community to intervene once more.
