Editing Second Xiomeran Civil War (section)

===May 2020===

The government of [[Laeral]] severed diplomatic relations with Xiomera on May 3rd, followed by that of [[Lauchenoiria]] on May 4th.

After the brutal repression of the uprising in Necuatexi, Necatli under the leadership of [[Huacue]] began a mass uprising in the Necatli region. In response, on May 8th, the Provisional Government ordered additional Imperial soldiers and mercenaries into the area to try to stop Huacue's revolt.

On May 16th, a new Great Selection was held, crowning [[Xochiuhue]] as the new Emperor of Xiomera. His formal coronation was held on May 18th.

On May 19th, Necatli rebels in the city of Acalan were forcibly suppressed in another action by Imperial forces and Watchtower mercenaries. The incidents in Necuatexi and Acalan would later be widely considered war crimes. During this period, Xiomera would work with Watchtower to also set up segregation camps to detain opponents of the government.

On May 31st, the Xiomeran state network XIN declared that Empress Yauhmi had agreed to sign an abdication document, and had committed ritual suicide. The former Empress was actually alive, and being held prisoner by Xiomeran forces.
