| − | The '''[[González_Insular_Civil_War|González Insular Civil War]]''' is a conflict being fought in the [[Nation/Torisakia|torisakian]] controlled territory of [[González Archipelago|González Isle]]. The conflict is part of the wider [[González Archipelago Dispute]], once a three-sided conflict mainly between the nations of [[Nation/Torisakia|Torisakia]] and [[Nation/Narsora|Narsora]] which has now largely devolved into a conflict between various separatist groups and the Torisakian and Narsoran governments and various loyalist type groups.

| − | =Background=
| |
| − | The conflict began as the larger [[González Archipelago Dispute]] in 1969 when the torisakian government claimed that the [[González Archipelago]], an island chain then controlled by the nation of [[Nation/Narsora|Narsora]] was it's territory as it geographically lay within their maritime border. The narsoran government rebuffed claimed, stating that owned the territory as it was granted control in 1960 upon independence. The conflict boiled over in 1973 when torisakian military forces stormed and annexed the islands into their territory. Several armed and even large scale clashes have taken place, most notably in [[2009 González Archipelago Conflict|2009 ]] & [[2014 González Isle Conflict|2014 ]]. In 2013, a separatist group known as the [[Federation for the Movement of Independence of Gonzalez Isle]] or '''FEMOINGOLS''' began advocating independence of the islands from the central government in Torisakia. When their demands were met with deaf ears, the group began a violent militaristic terrorism campaign in order to force the government to grant independence. In 2015, after the [[2015 Carlitos Attack|Carlitos Attack]] and the [[2015 Aṭavī Seige|Aṭavī Siege]] (the latter being the group's first attack on a foreign territory) which killed a combined 109 people, the Narsoran and Torisakian governments agreed to cooperatively tackle the group. In September 2015, nearly simultaneous raids by Torisakian and Narsoran security forces essentially crippled the organizations from both countries respective mainlands.

| − | The conflict is officially deemed to have started in March 2016 after the death of senior leader León Ureña whom was killed by torisakian special forces in November 2015. The group, according to torisakian intelligence had been in disarray in the months since Ureña's death and by May 2016 had split into multiple factions as a result of the [[Battle of Santillian Atoll]] in which a decisive torisakian military victory forced the group out of their stronghold of the Sántillian Atoll, a small [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atoll atoll] of uninhabited islands off the southeastern coast of [[González Archipelago|González Isle]] and fears that the central government was gaining victory over them. The nature of the conflict from June 2016 to the present has been characterized by small scale attacks on torisakian military posts, patrol units and on civilian locations. The conflict has also divided the populace of the islands as some have loyalist leanings toward the central Torisakian and local González Islean governments and those who have leanings to the Nationalist factions. As of October 2017, the level of attacks have been on a slight decrease with each month since March seeing only 2 torisakian servicemen/servicewomen killed as compared to the first 13 months of the conflict where deaths on the central government's side were 3 per month. Most experts argue that the use of guerrilla tactics, decreasing frequency of attacks and rapid loss of territory by the [[Federation for the Movement of Independence of Gonzalez Isle|FEMOINGOLS ]] group is evidence that they are near to unraveling and ultimately defeat.

| |
| − | In August 2016, the Narsoran government after firmly stating that they would play no part in the conflict militarily, agreed to a request by both the local [[González Archipelago|González Islean government]] and the government of Torisakia to send support in the form of twenty troops as part of an advisory team. The narsoran government promised these troops would not be armed, as not to inflame tensions between either side or draw the ire of the local populace. As of 2017, the extent of Narsoran involvement is providing training and equipment to the various loyalist factions and to the torisakian armed forces. In a poll of narsoran citizens conducted by the independent organization ''Nos Merecemos Saber'' (NMS) (Eng: "We Deserve To Know") in early-2017 showed roughly only 43% of the total number of people questioned supported the decision of the government to get involved. With 57% stating that the entire conflict should be left to the Torisakian government to handle. This dropped to 39% after news surfaced of an incident in which a [[Narsoran National Marine Corps|Narsoran Marine ]] was injured after FEMOINGOLS militants opened fire on around two dozen Torisakian, Narsoran and Cuerpo de Leal troops during a training exercise in March 2017. According to a recently published poll by the same group in September 2017, the percentage of narsorans whom answered they wanted the government to have no part in the conflict had increased to 75% after reports that a second narsoran soldier was wounded in a September roadside bomb attack on a convoy of torisakian troops.
