Kijé Affair

On the 18th of October 2012, Moreizo Kijé, a 14-year-old teen from the Jaron Islands, entered a bank in the Sainte-Sophie district of Côteville-Ville-d’Orsainne carrying an SMG and attempted a mass shooting while screaming Côtenese separatist phrases like "O von batta, mo a Frin" (You will be defeated, death to France), usually associated with the FPCO. Kijé shot a security guard and two employees before being shot by a nearby officer who had heard the shooting, and only managed to kill the security guard, however, the exact motive for Kijé's attack on a bank is still unknown. Following this the Police Côtannaise raided his house where they found 5 kg of cocaine, a small revolver, and a shrine dedicated to "Pa Cotos", the spiritual leader of the Côtenese people, and his mother was later found guilty of having been involved in drug trafficking alongside him. On the day following the attack the leader of the FCPO, Silvain Lalande, claimed the attack and declared Kijé a martyr, before declaring war to the New French Government.
