The '''Neo-Mai-Mai Conflict''' is an ongoing conflict in [[Upper Asema]]. The term Neo-Mai-Mai Conflict is used to refere to several localized conflicts between [[Mai-Mai]] militias and other local communities and the government. The conflict is seen as a continuation of the [[Third Asemese Civil War]]. the conflict started during the larger [[Asemese Remobilization Crisis]] between President [[Jean-Pierre Dweh]] and then High Commissioner [[Jean-Évangéliste Belehyi]]. The conflict is traditionally seen as starting on 2 June 2002 when former [[APRP]] forces would reorganize to form the Bush Rangers, under the leadership of former APRP Leader [[Dieudonné "Didi" Oupamfo]], a Dweh Loyalist during the civil war. The Bush Rangers would attack rural Gbenende communities, which had traditionally been anti-Dweh strong holds and now pro-Belehyi strongholds. 

This attack would cause a cascading effect, which multiple pro-Dweh ethnic communities forming new Mai-Mai forces to attack oppositional communities. This violence exploded in the aftermath of the [[2003 Asemese Coup d'état]] when Dweh was deposed by pro-Belehyi forces. This would result in a coalition of Neo-Mai-Mai attacking the city of [[Symphoreville]], A small [[Thalassic Federation|International Peacekeeping]] force was able to fight these forces back with help from local Government forces. 

After the coup and unsuccessful assault of Symphoreville saw these Neo-Mai-Mai fighting in the rural interior. In the [[Tsitowodzi Massif Region]] the conflict transitioned into a mineral war between transnational mining coglomerations, government forces, and local pro-Government Mai-Mai militias and these Neo-Mai-Mai, seeking to control the major {{wp|Copper}} and {{wp|Bauxite}} resources in the region, later large {{wp|Diamond}} mining operations would be used to finance Neo-Mai-Mai operations. In the northern regions the conflict would manifest as a conflict between Pastoral nomads and sedintary farming communities. Fighting over important water resources and fertile grazing lands within mostly arid savannah. This has also brought Neo-Mai-Mai militants into conflict with the [[Unified Autonomous Liberation Army of Gbaysi]] as well as Ingternational Intervension Forces in the Gbaysi region. 

As of 2022 the conflict has claimed over 50,000 lives and displaced over 100,000 people.
