The Muttay (Tamashek: ⵎⵓⵜⵜⴰⵢ, lit. "The Change"), also known as the Charnean Revolution, was a period of civil unrest, mutiny and political revolution which took place during the summer of 2023, resulting in the overthrow of the Imperial government and the establishment of the Charnean Republic. The focal point of the Muttay was the month of June, which saw weeks of demonstrations, political assassinations and the final mutiny from within the Charnean Army which proved fatal to the Imperial regime. However, it is generally agreed that the Muttay did not fully come to an end until the dissolution of the provisional military government and the swearing in of the first elected administration of the Republic on October 1st. Neither the uprising against nor the transition away from the monarchy and the one-party rule of the AKE was immediate. The Muttay progressed through a stage of civil resistance following by armed resistance and military action in the tumultuous month of June, followed by a prolonger period of state-building as the provisional military government (PMG) worked to stabilize the country and lay the groundwork for the elected Republican government.

Background

The discontent which would eventually boil over in the form of the Muttay stems from the era of the Ninvite War and its aftermath. Prior to the 1980s, the governing Congress of Progress and Prosperity party (known by its Tamashek acronym AKE) which ruled Charnea was a one party-state since its industrialization drive in the 1920s had enjoyed general popularity from large portions of the population, even non-Tenerians, thanks to its overwhelming success in modernizing the nation and establishing a prosperous economy in the Ninva. The Ninvite War, which weakened the Charnean economy, saddled the state with tremendous war debt, and inflicted an immense cost in human life on key demographics of the population, proved to break the spell the AKE held over the Charnean public. The war was seen as a personal project of AKE dictator Pazir Madoun and was politically tied to the AKE just as much as the previous successes in building the economy had been. In particular, the Ninvite War soured the relationship between the AKE party and the Kel Ajama subgroup of the dominant Tenerian ethnicity of Charnea, who represent an overwhelming majority of the Charnean Army's rank and file. As a result of their over-representation in the armed forces, the Ajamites bore a disproportionate cost in deaths from the war, which deeply scarred their communities for generations to come. To compound this injury, the AKE government began to engage in a policy of tacit segregation against the rural Kel Ajama, which Ajamite radicals claimed to be part of a wider plan to keep the Kel Ajama in the same economically depressed state they have been in for decades in order to more easily access Ajamite manpower to rebuild the military in a post-war world.

Ajamite resistance crystalized into an organized form following the Seven Day Coup, an event which saw an attempted coup by a hardliner faction of the AKE defeated by a successful military counter-coup headed by Martial Martuf Lamine. Lamine, who installed himself as regent over a puppet monarch following the coup, intentionally fostered the Ajamite radicals as a counterweight to establishment forces and rivals within the Army whom he anticipated would inevitably oppose his rule. The organization which emerged in this context was the Cobalt Square (Murab Kubalt), a military political faction led by a cabal of four ICA Colonels, including the only Deshrian commissioned officer in the Charnean Army. The Cobalt Square was able to gain membership and expand its influence over the soldiery by casting itself as an Ajamite veterans association railing against the unequal proportion practices of the Army which suppressed Ajamite advancement in favor of aristocratic career officers, drawing in broader appeal by claiming to fight for the oppressed Ajamites and non-Tenerians both in and out of uniform, promising their members that their families would be taken care of if the organization should achieve its goals. The Cobalt Square's anti-establishment tone, encouraged by Martuf Lamine, greatly alarmed and antagonized the ICA high command which would turn against the group days after Lamine's death in Fahran. The attempted purge of the Ajamite radicals from the Army directly instigated the events of the Muttay.

June days

Operation Alwazaban

The Cobalt Square's retaliation against their purge by the high command came on the 17th of June in what would be internally referred to as Operation Alwazaban (tr. "Reply"). The first stage of the Operation was false flag attack on various targets within the capital, followed up by the second and more strenuous phase which would see every asset the surviving Cobalt Square network could muster brought to bear in an attack not on the capital but on the city's airport, specifically the major ICA complex sectioned off from the civilian side of the airport. The planning for Alwazaban relied on the foreknowledge available to Cobalt Square members as ranking officers of the ICA,
