Order in Aprophe restored

The government led by interim president Andler successfully established order on Aprophe territory. Andler’s government controlled in over 90% of Aprophian territory (comprising approximately 80% of the population), and the armed forces in and around Marcelux were loyal to Andler. In addition 14 nations recognize Andler’s government. 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 Aprophian army were sent to negotiate with the rebels and persuade them lay down arms however they encountered armed resistance.

Seizure of Aprophian assets

On February 15 2011 Rantanian officials without prior notification using the troubled situation in Aprophe seized the equivalent of US $ 10, 000, 000 in Aprophian non-diplomatic property located in Rantania.

ENI bombings of Aprophe

Early in the morning on February 18, 2011 military installations of Aprophe were attacked by joint ENI airforce as a part of an operation initiated by the runaway Aprophian president Mig Green against the interim president Andlers regime. The attacks carried on for several days leading to destruction of the majority of Aprophian installations and multiple deaths of Aprophian soldiers. The Republic of Aprophe was rendered virtually defenceless against any threat. United Nations Security Council did not give agreement to the bombardment of the Aprophe and adopted resolution condemning Operation these military actions.

Interim president Andlers ultimatum

On February 27, 2011 interim president Andler and her government moved from the defenceless capital Marcelux to the Mai-Tocao site seeking protection from the airstrikes among the walls of the ancient temple. The next day Major-General Brewscha, commander of ENI operation against Aprophe, ordered a mobilization of ENI ground forces on the Aprophe-Rantanian border. Left with no other means to protect her country facing the ENI invasion interim president Andler made an announcement in which she condemned the attacks on Aprophe and stated that the continuation of aggression against Aprophe will lead to destruction of buildings of the Mai-Tocao complex. Nevertheless the aerial bombardment of military installations in near Marcelux continued and on March 3, 2011 Andler ordered a controlled detonation of explosives in one of the buildings of Mai-Tocao complex.

Submission before the International Court of Justice (“I.C.J.”)

On May 12. 2011 Aprophe filed an application with the Registry of the International Court of Justice, instituting proceedings against Rantania. However questioning the jurisdiction of the Court over the matter Rantania agreed to engage Aprophe before the International Court of Justice. Both parties submitted to the ICJ’s ad hoc jurisdiction to adjudicate this conflict – Aprophe as Applicant, and Rantania as Respondent.
