Battle of Sonhata
Sudden Attack from Syed
Forces loyal to Syed triggerd a civil war in Jakania on October 3186, by taking up positions across the city, Miamo and launching a rearguard fight against rebels in major cities, including forces from Likatonia stationed in the city, Miamo.
Syed's Tanks took up positions around public buildings including government offices and hospitals, while sandbag defences were also being built. A hospital that was caring for wounded civilians from the 'March for Democracy', was heavily attacked by Kafuri and Syed's Armed forces again. This time Pro-Syed forces were able to take the hospital and massacre hundreds of innocents civilians. Residents said bodies were still piling up in the hospital from the shootings of the previous two days. But the area under government control was shrinking. Most of the east is now held by rebel forces, but rebels said that the Crown Prince's Brigade, loyal to and named after Syed and only son, was now moving against these towns.
Later, the Hutorian division encountered a heavy resistance from Kafuri forces trying to take several government buildings in Sonhata. Fierce fighting was reported in these locations:
Sonhata
Borenu
After the attack, Syed announced a speech on television:
Today I issued an attack, to attempt to retake Sonhata, I had to use force because peaceful protests is one thing, but armed rebellion is another. But I offer the International Community an apology for the attacks on civilians, I am willing to provide reparations and pardons to families who have participated in the Rebellion. I promise that the citizens of Jakania will have freedom and I will never commit genocide nor am I willing to let them die. I only want Jakania to keep its monarchy, if the people reject the idea of an absolute monarchy, I am willing to accept an constitutional monarchy. If they deny both, I will unleash chaos!"
