The '''Muttay''' ({{wp|Tamashek}}: ⵎⵓⵜⵜⴰⵢ, lit. "The Change") was a major mutiny within the [[Charnean Army]] that resulted in the overthrow of incumbent civilian government of [[Charnea]] as well as the established military command structure. The mutiny began on June 7th, 2023, in the city of [[Azut]], considered to be the ''de facto'' headquarters of the Army, and ended on the 13th of the same month when the mutineers entered the [[Palace of State]] in Agnannet. The conclusion of the Muttay ushered in the seven month long rule of the [[Provisional Military Government of Charnea|Provisional Military Government]] (PMG), which in turn would give way to the establishment of the first Republic of Charnea.
The '''Muttay''' ({{wp|Tamashek}}: ⵎⵓⵜⵜⴰⵢ, lit. "The Change") was a military uprising which took place in [[Charnea]] in early June of 2023 which resulted in the fall of the civilian government and the end of the Charnean Empire. The uprising took the form of a violent schism within the [[Charnean Army]] instigated by a radical changes with respect to military-civilian affairs and state oversight of the Army. Many of the mutineers were part of military units which had previously been known for their high level of autonomous operation and had garnered reputations for straying from the orders of the Army high command, most notable in the case of the [[Desert Rangers|Desert Ranger Corps]] which formed the nucleus of the mutiny in the Charnean city of [[Azut]]. The uprising itself lasted four days from the 3rd to the 7th of June during which sporadic skirmishes between Charnean Army units were reported all along the the length of Charnea's central [[Xallalbatan]] railroad as well as the zone of permanent military occupation in the far east of the country as fighting took place within and between garrisons and dispersed detachments of the Army. The disintegration of the civilian government and the later resignation of the state's Defense Minister on the 7th of June with the mutineers at the gates of [[Agnannet]] decapitated the chain of military command and brought about an end to the hostilities, narrowly avoiding the onset of a full-scale civil war the likes of which had recently torn apart neighboring [[Fahran]]. Of those in the Army that had fought against the mutineers, a significant portion reintegrated with their former enemies in the reconstituted post-Muttay Charnean Army, while the remainder resigned from military service and were allowed to return to civilian life. A minority of the most hated counter-mutineers, especially the non-Army paramilitary security forces, self-exiled from the country out of fear of reprisals from the victorious mutineers.  
 
Tensions between the rank and file of the Charnean Army and their commanders as well as the civilian government that oversees them have run deep since the end of the [[Ninvite War]]. Veterans and their families had begun to openly criticize the military for what they saw as apathy towards the struggle of the common soldier and of military widows in the wake of the bloodiest conflict in Charnean history. This activity was generally tolerated by Charnean leadership under [[Pazir Madoun]] and even encouraged under the regime of [[Martuf Lamine]], who leveraged the political support of the veterans for his agenda in exchange for promises to reform the military and resolve the grievances of the veterans movement. This policy was dramatically reversed by [[Marus Ibiza ag Haqar]], who came to power following Martuf Lamine's death in a plane crash in [[Fahran]] in May of 2023. Marus Ibiza's crackdown on military dissent and the veterans movement would later be cited by the mutineers as the single primary event which incited their uprising.
 
==Background==
Bonus Army is broken up
 
Aspar Amini, Chief of the General Staff of the Charnean Army, gave an impassioned speech during a press release late on the 6th of June commenting on the crisis by calling out various high profile dissenting voices within the active duty military, whom he called "traitors in uniform". Amini publically announced that he would be ordering an investigation into numerous individuals, mentioning several by name including [[Khyar Aziouel]], the head of the [[Desert Rangers]] training school in Azut.
 
==Mutiny==
===Azut===
The mutiny of the [[Desert Rangers]] in their barracks in western Azut set off the active phase of the Muttay. It began when Khyar Aziouel, recently disgraced by Aspar Amini's public denunciation and anticipating punitive actions, contacted a group of his subordinates in the Ranger training center as well as various Ranger officers with whom he had close ties, announcing to the Rangers - but not yet to the public - his intentions to reject Chief of Staff Amini's orders and defy the high command. Aware that this action would brand him and his followers as mutineers and traitors and likely see them executed by a military tribunal if captured, Aziouel set about strengthening his hand by dispatching Ranger elements to seize control of critical infrastructure and military installations around Azut, the ''de facto'' nerve center of the Charnean Army in the east of the country. These seizures took place on the night of the 6th but primarily in the pre-dawn hours of the 7th of June, culminating with an announcement broadcast from the radio towers of the Adjer Regional Transmitter some 20 kilometers south of Azut city at 7 in the morning. Aziouel's declaration, which was posted onto Charnean social media within minutes of the radio broadcast, made scant mention of his seizure of the city of Azut while denouncing Amini and Ibiza as corrupt, stating that he refused to recognize their authority, and calling on like-minded Army officers to demand justice for the veterans movement as a means of garnering support from other areas of the military.
 
The response to Aziouel's uprising in Azut was instant and wide-reaching. Even before Aziouel made his announcement, word of the fall of various installations in Azut to rogue Rangers reached Aspar Amini in Agnannet. His orders entailed the mobilization of a Central Army force to move to Azut and besiege it, recapturing it from the mutineers, as well as numerous other units of the army to immediately move to detain all Ranger elements active in the field beyond Azut. This latter action in particular greatly antagonized a large number of field NCOs of the Army, who perceived this as a purge of the Rangers and felt threatened by what the saw as an out of touch civilian leader in the person of Marus Ibiza with his lackey in the form of Aspar Amini moving to assume direct control and clamp down on military autonomy.

The rapid and unexpected collapse of the [[Congress of Progress and Prosperity|AKE]] party's rule in the face of the Muttay left a major institutional vacuum at the head of the Charnean government which the mutineers struggled to fill. In contrast to a conventional military coup, the successful mutiny lacked a clear leader around which to establish a stable military dictatorship.

The Muttay (Tamashek: ⵎⵓⵜⵜⴰⵢ, lit. "The Change") was a military uprising which took place in Charnea in early June of 2023 which resulted in the fall of the civilian government and the end of the Charnean Empire. The uprising took the form of a violent schism within the Charnean Army instigated by a radical changes with respect to military-civilian affairs and state oversight of the Army. Many of the mutineers were part of military units which had previously been known for their high level of autonomous operation and had garnered reputations for straying from the orders of the Army high command, most notable in the case of the Desert Ranger Corps which formed the nucleus of the mutiny in the Charnean city of Azut. The uprising itself lasted four days from the 3rd to the 7th of June during which sporadic skirmishes between Charnean Army units were reported all along the the length of Charnea's central Xallalbatan railroad as well as the zone of permanent military occupation in the far east of the country as fighting took place within and between garrisons and dispersed detachments of the Army. The disintegration of the civilian government and the later resignation of the state's Defense Minister on the 7th of June with the mutineers at the gates of Agnannet decapitated the chain of military command and brought about an end to the hostilities, narrowly avoiding the onset of a full-scale civil war the likes of which had recently torn apart neighboring Fahran. Of those in the Army that had fought against the mutineers, a significant portion reintegrated with their former enemies in the reconstituted post-Muttay Charnean Army, while the remainder resigned from military service and were allowed to return to civilian life. A minority of the most hated counter-mutineers, especially the non-Army paramilitary security forces, self-exiled from the country out of fear of reprisals from the victorious mutineers.

The rapid and unexpected collapse of the AKE party's rule in the face of the Muttay left a major institutional vacuum at the head of the Charnean government which the mutineers struggled to fill. In contrast to a conventional military coup, the successful mutiny lacked a clear leader around which to establish a stable military dictatorship. Most of the mutineers were part of disparate and unrelated parts of the Army each with no strong ties to the officers of the other, having been unified more out of opposition to the regime of Premier Marus Ibiza and his high command rather than by loyalty to any central leadership. Lacking the direct loyalty of most of the Army, the newly established junta in Agnannet was only able to reconstitute the fractured military and establish control over the country by gaining the conditional support of the rank and file soldiers and junior officers of the Army with promises of political rights under the new regime. Over the next several months, the Provisional Military Government (PMG) would become increasingly dependent on the support of these groups to survive, support predicated on self determination and the investment of political power outside of any central clique in Agnannet. This dynamic would eventually transition into the limited democracy of the modern Charnean Republic as the new state continued to gain the support of key demographics through the provision of political rights and other benefits earned through various forms of national service.
