Bukezia-Insurgency

Insurgency

Over the years Bukezia has been plagued with civil war and an insurgency, that all stem from an ongoing faction that has changed its face during its evolution.

Red Union

Active: Feb 1992-Oct 1993
When the Soviet Union collapsed and Bukezia became independent there were some who did not want to leave Russian rule. Originally they were a political faction but one of its members was more militant in his ideas.
Iosif Globa seized power of the group, and led an army south to seize Govengrad and the government. They were being secretly backed by Russia which is why they were able to mobilise quickly.

Their advance was going well until the counter-attack by the Peoples Republic where they were pushed back into the north and eventually surrendered after the siege of Stolozikiy.

Iosif Globa was never captured, he managed to vanish with a number of Red Union members.

Red Revolution

Active: Feb 1994-2005   
The Red Revolution was the reform of the Red Union, Iosif Globa knew he no longer had the manpower to conduct open warfare so they had to change tactics.
 Globa still had his contacts in Russia and was able to secure equipment still, but he gathered new followers and planned to conduct an insurgency.

Their first operation was the assassination of Prime Minister Mironov, but the Red Revolution sniper missed!
They conducted small scale assaults, raids and ambushes, while they built up their strength in the north.

The Bukezian army puts its newly trained spec ops into play and the Red Revolution is quickly put on the defensive.
January 1996, the Red Revolution is active only in the north and the Government declare war with them, a new battlefront opens and for months neither side makes any gains.

In May, 1996 the Red Revolution strikes, over the past year it had massing every armoured vehicle it could repair and buy off the black market.
The armoured strike drove 23 miles south until it was finally stopped by air strikes and dug-in armour.

Iosif Globa's body was found in this battle, and since his death and with the Bukezian Government identifying and cutting off their supply lines the Revolution started to die.

Resurgent Red

Active: 2006-2008
With Globa dead, what was left of the insurgency had a power struggle for who was going to now lead them.
And Makar Vlidik came out top. Vlidik was one of Globa's main lieutenants and was both an intelligent and a skilled soldier.

Their first operation is the assassination of prime minister Baikov, and they succeed! Over the following months they conduct aggressive operations which puts pressure on the Army to combat them but take heavy casualties.

Vlidik realised that his troops needed better training, so managed to acquire the services of Chechen Mercenaries and Al- Quaeda to help his troops fight in the field and to train them.

But the Bukezian army in 2008 deploys drones, they are able to find their camps easily which are quickly destroyed, Vlidik gathered all the forces he had left for a big offensive towards Govengrad.

Although this Blitzkreig caused a huge amount of damage it was stopped and destroyed by the Army quite quickly.
The survivors surrendered but Vlidik was not found.
