Reuters: Ukraine rebel leader accuses sacked ally of staging revolt
MOSCOW/KIEV (Reuters) - Armed men in masks blocked off the center of Ukraine’s rebel-controlled city of Luhansk on Tuesday in what the rebel leader said was a revolt by supporters of a sacked regional police chief.
In fighting that broke out in 2014, Russian-backed rebels threw off rule by a new pro-Western leadership in Kiev and set up two self-proclaimed separatist statelets in eastern Ukraine, one centered on Luhansk and another around the city of Donetsk.
Those separatist regions are aided by Moscow but not recognized by any state, and they have been dogged by outbreaks of internal tensions that have on occasion turned violent.
The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which monitors the implementation of a much-violated ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, said on Tuesday it had observed military-style vehicles and armed men in central Luhansk.

Looks like I was right about an internal coup, just off on the timing by a couple of years or so, but I got the decade right.
James,
Learned in economic forecasting that there is no such thing as a perfect forecast.
The further in time you go, the more off your forecast will be.
Still how close and for what period of time matters.
Economists and physicists talk of information. It would be reasonable to assume you may not always have enough. So being off by 2 years might not be bad. Hari would know.
