abstract
  • The 2016 Isokyrian coup d'état attempt was an attempted overthrow of the Nororist Party carried out by factions of the Isokyrian Army, and later, the Isokyrian Navy, which ultimately failed following a four-day standoff with pro-government forces outside the National Assembly building. 11 people were killed during the crisis, including the coup's leader, Richard Taumgarter. On July 19, 2016, at around 13:22 local time, all television signals across the country blacked out and witnesses reported seeing military aircraft flying overhead. A brief message from a group was broadcast on some radios and televisions stating "The Constitutionalists are in control. Nororism will end. Free elections to be held soon." State media reported that Chairman Alexander White was safe at an undisclosed location and remained in power. Later in the evening, the National Assembly was seized by coup plotters and several representatives were taken hostage, including the President of the National Assembly, Oskar Leifsson. Richard Taumgartner was identified as one of coup leaders in a livestream broadcast from the Kanslairn. By midnight, pro-government tanks had arrived in Hufo outside the National Assembly building and a four-day standoff with the Constitutionalists ensued. Robertsson International Airport was closed and all flight traffic was diverted to nearby airports. Ten people, four coup plotters and six pro-government forces, were killed in a failed operation that attempted to rescue the President who was taken hostage along with 15 other members of the Assembly. On July 21, the Minister of the Navy announced that he and his forces had joined the coup, but allowed sailors and other members of the branch that did not support the coup to return home safely. On July 23, four days after the coup began, state media announced that Taumgartner, the leader in the revolt, was killed in a second, successful, special operations mission. All remaining hostages, including President Leifsson were rescued and sent to nearby Dyr Peter Hospital for review. Chairman White declared the crisis over late evening on July 24, at around 02:00 local time, and asked the country to begin "returning to normalcy".
