The Narsoran Insurgency as it is referred to by some was an armed conflict fought from 2009-2014 between the Narsorann government and theNLP (Narsoran Leftist Party). Extreme casualties were avoided due to the sparsely-populated area in which the conflict was fought.
Background
In mid-2002 a Left-wing political party known as the Narsoran Leftist Party formed and ran in the 2002 General Elections, but did not secure any gains. The party went seemingly inactive until, mid-2009 when they claimed responsibility for a car bombing attack which left 24 people dead and 48 wounded, in 2010 the group also claimed credit for an attack on an army outpost which killed 10 servicemen and injured 18. They stated they wanted to see an end to what they saw as the "capitalist paradise" of the Giles administration.
Conflict
In July 2010, the military began a campaign to see to the defeat of the NLP. This became widely known as the 2010 Narsoran Conflict, and led to a total of 2,000 deaths. The majority of the group surrendered after the capture and execution of their leader Julien Vezquez in Operation Green Dawn, although around 330 escaped into the surrounding jungle and relative peace soon returned. In October 2014 a narsoran aircraft was hijacked, it's passengers taken hostage and flown to nearby Haiyan. Although they were freed by a special forces raid, this set off a manhunt to rid Narsora of the militants known as Operation Rayo this led a to the deaths of 192 people. The insurgency officially ended on October 16th, 2014, after the surrender of all NLP militants, and it's leaders.
Aftermath
The conflict caused the deaths of around 3,760 people, as well as economic consequences due to travel alerts. On January 17th, 2015 NLP leader Fermín Américo Santiago was executed via Lethal Injection.
