The Insurgency in Ancora is an armed conflict in the Aerlan municipality of Ancora. The conflict broke out after sporadic riots and violence in the region by the ethnic Karnali minority.

Background

The Karnali have inhabited the lands of Aerla since ancient times. After many centuries of internal migration, most remaining Karnali settled within what are now the northern municipalities, with the bulk of them settling in the Ancora Municipality. During the unification of Aerla, the a vocal minority of ethnic Karnali opposed the annexation of their lands into the young republic. However, due to the lack of unity of their settlements, they were powerless to stop their incorporation.

In late 1712 AN, two local leaders named Kalyan Sinjali and Narendra Khanal called for a meeting of ethnic Karnalis who wished to break away from Aerla and form a new Karnali state. Original plans consisted of calling for a mass exodus of Karnali to The Green to form a new state, however the group came to the conclusion that such state would simply be ran over by the Aerlan military. Such, they declared that they would call for a general uprising of Karnali who wished to take up arms against the Aerlan Government.

Beginning of Violence

Seeming coordinated riots soon began in major population centers in the Ancora, the most deadly of these being in which a detail of Criminal Police officers where stabbed and beaten to death in their precinct in Bethanyville. The governments first response to these incidents were light, and more police and some militia forces were sent to the region. By this point, however, the banner of the ancient Karnali state were raised in many areas of the municipality, and guerillas soon began gathering arms and began advancing on population centers. They quickly took over the towns of Bethanyville and Elkridge, and began batlling local citizen militias in the towns of Malks and Waluda. With the prospect of more towns falling to the enemy, the 2nd Army of the Grand Army of Aerla was mobilized and sent north via train.
