2060 YTE Jochaenan coup d'état attempt

On March 2060 YTE, Anna, the crazy dictator of Aclia, and her YCA allies (especially Gloesia), attempted a coup d'état against Jochaenan state institutions, including the government and president Demetrio Campitelli.

Vice-president Giacometti was killed-in-action during the coup and Demetrio was briefly ousted by Anna before returning to power again.

Unusual military movements and gunfire were reported near Kala.

On March 9, 2060, a day after Demetrio flew to Yathar, Aclian and Gloesian soldiers began to enter Jochaenan territory near the border with Torrerona and Kala. At 12:00 PM, there were reports of Aclian tanks on the streets of Eastern Pelermo.

When the people realized what was going on, JBA aired a special edition of the news, saying that Aclia is attempting to dethrone the government. Massive demonstrations soon erupted and tanks began firing at the crowd.

Meanwhile, Demetrio, who had just landed in Yathar, was informed of the situation by his contact. He immediately began mobilizing his own forces, determined to protect Jochaena from the Aclian invaders. He placed an urgent call to the international community, seeking help in the form of diplomatic sanctions, economic aid, and military intervention.

March 10
Aclian soldiers stormed the government building and killed Vice President Elifio Giacometti, who had attempted to seek refuge in a room. In Demetrio's place, Anna, the President of Aclia, was appointed by the military as the new acting president of Jochaena. The people responded with outrage, taking to the streets in protest, which was met with a volley of bullets. In a video call with JBA24 journalist Veridiana Dragone, Demetrio encouraged the people to keep fighting until the very end and promised that he would return.

March 11
The PJEO enacted the Emergency Conflict Protocol for the fourth time, after greatly observing the situation that has completely gone out of hands. Now, it seemed like the coup was about to be over for good.

March 12
Faced with the looming threat of defeat, Aclian soldiers stationed in Pelermo began to evacuate, hastily gathering their belongings and retreating to Aclia. As they left the city, the troops watched with a heavy heart as the tide of war slowly turned against them. On the same day, Demetrio came back in power once his private jet landed back to Pelermo International Airport. Near his jet, crowds of citizens began chanting "Demetrio!".

March 13
Jochaenan forces nearly regained control over the region, but the damage had been done. On this day, the 2nd anniversary of the Catruosian missile strikes, in Pelermo, Demetrio delivered a speech in which he expressed his fury and announced a special military operation targeted at Aclia and its allies. He declared that these countries are terrorist states and that his forces are there to free the people from their oppressive rule. As Jochaenan forces had almost regained complete control, the mission was seen as a retaliatory move.

Aftermath
Upon coming back to Jochaena, Demetrio prolonged the nationwide state of emergency to 2062, and then arrested many captured coup plotters. The coup triggered the start of the Liberation of Aclia, a special military operation into Aclia, as ordered by Demetrio, with the purpose to "liberate" the country as a whole. The 2060 presidential elections were cancelled due to this event.
