Alkenne surrounded as Solé attempts a coup; As Alkenne is surrounded, the military gives a demand of surrender.
-------------------
June 4th, 5677
-------------------
The military has confirmed it. President Solé has attempted a self coup in an effort to do a mass purge of the Movement for National Reconcilation, and restore his authority in the country. However, the military has also confirmed that the coup effort has largely been contained to just Alkenne, with most of the military refusing the orders and joining in surrounding Alkenne. As the city goes to a complete stop, it's now a question of who will blink first. Should the military blink first, Solés coup will be finished and go without consequences. If Solés loyalists blink first, it's likely he will be imprisoned for the self coup attempt. So far, no violence has been confirmed but a standoff in the capital is not a good sign for any government. The military has already demanded the complete and total surrender of all soldiers loyal to Solé in Alkenne and for the surrender of Solé.
With the capital under martial law and surrounded, public fear is at an all-time high as this can easily spiral into a civil war, especially after the conclusion of the war with Meriath. The Movement for National Reconcilation itself has effectively been split as most members outside of Alkenne have outright condemned Solé, and broken from party line. The status of key reformists figures is so far unknown but one reformist, David Astier has been confirmed to be alive and was not in Alkenne, and has denounced Solé as a reactionary set out to bring ruin to Rildanor.
Until one side blinks, tensions are high. Too high. Just as things seemed to be looking up, it seems the country may easily unravel. The coming days will certainly be unique for Rildanor as state media has been radio silent, with most of the proper government paralyzed by the self coup attempt. And this likely means that dissidents within the country will take any opportunity to spread their message. The Movement for National Reconcilation is bleeding, the country is frozen, the capital is under the world's deadliest staring contest, and fear is rising in equal amounts with uncertainty. As Astier begins to make rounds, it's clear that if Solé surrenders, Astier will become President. And with most of the MRN purged in Alkenne or loyal to Astier, his vision for Rildanor can very much define it easily. But if Solé doesn't surrender, then at best, he will secure his authority over the country and at worst, cause a civil war. One that Meriath may have an interest in taking advantage of, even with the peace, or even foreign powers.
