      It’s started by the military, so it’s a coup, maybe a revolt. In my definition, a revolution is done by the people, not the military.

        Not THE military. A private military company, rather. Closer would be if Blackwater (academi? Xe? Idk what their current name is) did it in the US.

        I don’t even know what a good term for it would be. Military coup usually means the country’s own military.
