The Golden Blade Insurgency is an ongoing domestic conflict in Huenya between government forces and a terrorist organisation calling themselves the Golden Blade, with the latter being supported by Xiomera.
Background
Following the conclusion of the Second Xiomeran Civil War and the resulting partition, Xiomera and Huenya remained at odds with each other.
2021 terrorist attacks
Intelligence HQ
The first attack by the Golden Blade took place on July 6, 2021; when Huenya's intelligence headquarters were bombed by the group[2].
August attacks
On August 11, a series of terrorist attacks happened across Huenya[3]. The targets of these attacks included a nightclub, a construction site, the outside of a government office, and an army convoy. The Golden Blade terrorist organisation claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating that they were "declaring war" on the government of Huenya.
The attacks prompted Huenyans to organise a "Day Without Fear", where 600,000 Huenyans protested against the Golden Blade and their actions within the country[4].
September attacks
On September 12, a series of further terrorist attacks occurred across Huenya, targeting Huenyan leaders. This resulted in the death of two Unification Party candidates, one judge, a police commander, a Huenyan general, and a mayor[5].
On September 22, nantzintli Yauhmi's Xomaxtli Hill estate was the victim of a further attack[6][7].
After these attacks, Great Speaker Texōccoatl announced that Huenya would be ramping up recruitment for the new Civil Guard and the intelligence service, as well as increasing powers of arrest and questioning to the Civil Guard for individuals suspected of terrorism[8].
Election attacks
Several days before the primary election day, a polling station was targeted by the Golden Blade during early voting. One poll worker was taken captive, with five others killed - alongside police officers and soldiers[9].
On election day, further attacks took place, with both terrorists and voters being killed. A foreign election observer, Paul Ramirez, from Lauchenoiria was also taken captive by the terrorist organisation during these attacks[10]. Ramirez was later released, with Prime Minister Josephine Alvarez of Lauchenoiria accused of making a secret deal with Xiomera to secure his release[11], possibly for Lauchenoiria to withdraw from the Aurian blockade[12].
Anti-Terrorist Mission
On January 26th, 2022, Huenya launched a full anti-terrorist operation including not only federal police, but military units[13].
Annexation of Territory
State of Apozanolotl
By February 14th, the Golden Blade had managed to take control of a considerable amount of territory centred on the city of Xonacatlán in southeastern Huenya. The terrorists formed a competing government, claiming their territory as an independent "State of Apozanolotl"[14]. After the declaration, the territory held by the group continued to expand as Huenyan forces failed to halt their advance[15]. By April 24, the new "State of Apozanolotl" sought recognition as an independent country, receiving it from Xiomera[16].
Western Xiomera
Annexation by Xiomera
In late April 2023, Xiomera formally annexed "Western Xiomera", classing it as the thirteenth home province of Xiomera. This was roundly condemned by multiple countries, including Lauchenoiria[17].
Renewed attacks 2023
Assassination of Tiacihitli
On August 24th, Vice-Speaker Tiacihitli fell ill after eating dinner. On August 26th, the Vice Speaker passed from cardiac arrest[18].
Further insurgency
Xiomeran funding
There is a considerable body of evidence that Xiomera has been funding the Golden Blade from before[19] their first attack.
