The '''Bamvangan Insurgency''' is an ongoing civil war in the [[Bamvango]] involving the government, rebels from the [[Bamvangan Revolutionary Government]] (BRG), and [[Patriotic Front-Kuol Arap]] (PF-KA).

The conflict has its roots in the [[Bamvangan Civil War]] from 2013-2014 when a rebel group, the Patriotic Front, rose up against the government of long-time president [[Abdallah Daya Ibrahim]] and deposed his government, creating a new government dominated by PF officials. Ibrahims core supporters fled to northeast Bamvango where his powerbase lay, with the Bamvangan government under newly elected president [[Anthony Benoudjita]] failing to dislodge rebel forces from this territory. In 2015 the rebel forces declared the creation of the BRG and launched an offensive that seized much of northern Bamvango. 

In 2017 former PF leader and vice-president [[Oscar Kuol-Arap]] launched a rebellion in southeast Bamvango severely weakening the central government. A CN peacekeeping force, the Community of Nations Bamvangan Military Observer Group (GOMCONBA) alongside a deployment of [[Estmere|Estmerish]] air support allowed the government to prevent the PF-KA from taking Idoukan. However in 2020 the PF-KA pushed government forces back with the BRG consolidating its control in northern Bamvango and the PF-KA in the southeast. 

The conflict has displaced 2 million people and has reversed much of the social and economic progress the country made in the past decade. Reasons for the conflict include ethnic and religious tensions, a desire to control resources and the role of outside actors such as [[Zorasan]], Estmere and [[Yemet]]. Unsuccessful peace talks in St Avelines have produced no lasting peace agreement.
