President Green rise to power

Mig Green was elected President of Aprophe in 2000. His policy has been heavily leant towards joining the ENI. Thus President Greens government instituted financial and tax incentives for businesses from the ENI Member States, restricted the rights of labour unions. During Mig Greens presidentship Aprophe unilaterally adopted the open boarder policy for residents of the ENI Member States. Citizens of Aprophe have been routinely organising strikes and protest against new restrictions. The disapprovement of Greens policy, and anti-Rantanian sentiments have peaked by 2010 as a response to The Supreme Court if Rantania decision concerning Military internees. Several nationwide strikes were organised and calls for Greens resignation were heard.

Recognising that the major cause for public unrest were the recent tax, economical course changes and open boarder all these reforms were suspended.

Using the constitutionally granted emergency powers, to ensure stability and maintain public order, interim president Andler dissolved Aprophan parliament assuring the publicity of new parliamentary elections will be held shortly.

Order in Aprophe restored

However approximately 800 members of the army’s National Homeland Brigade chose to resisted the new governmental forces and set their base in two villages on the north of Aprophe. They were followed by a group of civilians.

Units of Aprophan army were sent to negotiate with the rebels and persuade them lay down arms however they encountered armed resistance.
