The '''Nasani-Rwizikuran War''' ({{wp|Shona language|weRwizi}}: ''Hondo pakati peNasana naRwizikuru'', [[Wopoto language|Wopoto]]: ''ǃhoǂnha ri Olo'ǂnga خهوچنها ری ولوچنگا, Liberation of Olonga'') was a war in [[Bahia]] that lasted from 1968 until 1969, over the territory of [[Yekumavirira]] which had been under the control of [[Rwizikuru]], that started when [[Nasana]] attacked Rwizikuru. At the end of the war, the [[Purple Line (Bahia)|Purple Line]] was established along the front lines, and a {{wp|population exchange}} took place.
 
==Background==
===Origins===
The area in question, [[Yekumavirira]], had been part of the [[Wopoto Empire]] prior to its collapse in 1701. Following the collapse of the area, the expanding {{wp|Shona people|veRwizi}} tribes took control of the area. While they initially tried to coerce people to adopt their {{wp|traditional African religions|traditional religion}}, by the mid-1750s, the weRwizi converted to the [[Nasani school]] of [[Irfan]] under the rule of Chief [[Nyashadzashe Olonga]], and thus resulted in the establishment of the [[Olonga Sultanate]].
 
The Olonga Sultanate lasted until 1853, when [[Gaullica]] took the area over, and began instituting policies to promote the [[Solarian Catholic Church]] over the Irfanic population. As well, the Gaullicans instituted policies which cracked down on both the [[Wopoto language]] and the {{wp|Shona language|weRwizi}} language in favor of {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}. Over the next century, Gaullican rule became more influential over the region, but in 1936, with the end of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], Gaullica was forced to give their colony in Yekumavirira to the [[Estmere|Estmerish]]. The Estmerish placed what they deemed "Olongaland" under the jurisdiction of the colony in [[Rwizikuru|Rizikuru]], and made it a district of the colony, and expelled many of the Gaullicans residing in the territory.
 
===Rwizikuran rule and growing tensions===
In 1946, [[Rwizikuru]] was granted independence following tensions between the Estmerish colonial authorities and the [[Rwizikuran National Movement]] led by [[Shungudzemwoyo Nhema]] and [[Izibongo Ngonidzashe]]. This included Olongaland, which was quickly renamed back to [[Yekumavirira]] by the newly independent government.
 
Under [[Samhuri Ngonidzashe]]'s rule from 1946 to 1954, he began instituting policies to "create a consolidated nation-state." To this end, Samhuri Ngonidzashe ordered all schools across Rwizikuru to use the {{wp|Shona language|weRwizi}} language, and to reduce the use of {{wp|English language|Estmerish}} in schools in 1948.
 
This policy was unpopular among the [[Wopoto people]] living in Yekumavirira, as they were angered that schools in their communities, which had hiherto been primarily taught in Estmerish and in the [[Wopoto language]] would be forced to teach their children "the language of their enemies."
 
[[Alai Abyodu Tsalar]], in response to these policies established the [[Yekumavirira Liberation Movement]] to advocate for increased autonomy for Yekumavirira. Over the next few years, many [[Irfan|Irfanic]] people joined the movement, as many Irfanics experienced tensions with the Sortirian population, as policies were made that benefitted the {{wp|Christianity|Sotirian}} population at the expense of the Irfanic population.
 
In 1951, a compromise was achieved, where infant schools in Yekumavirira were allowed to teach in {{wp|French language|Gaullican}} and in the Wopoto language.
 
===Nasana===
After the [[Nasani Wars|Third Nasani War]], ethno-religious suppression and relocation took place across the country, under making provisions for a secure and unified Irfanic nation. Many Nasani groups underwent villagization in re-education work camps. Since 1953 when the Third Nasani War ended, Sotirians took a pilgrimage to Euclea and mostly [[Yekumavirira]], where they could worship freely and find new lands.
 
For a time the Nasani government endorsed this and even funded the migration against the opposition of their neighbors. This was known as the [[Great Nasanic Exodus]], as over 500,000 Sotirians fled [[Nasana]] and escaped government villages from 1953 to 1959. Still, many Sotirians were left in Nasana, practicing their religion in secret while imitating Irfanic practice.
 
The Great Nasanic Exodus heightened tensions in Yekumavirira, as old Irfanic and Sotirian communities began to feud over land. It is suggested the exodus of Sotirians to Yekumavirira was a fabrication and government document leaks affirm this theory, though this not officially endorsed. This would heightened tensions and later justify Nasanai Invasion as a means to protect Irfanic communities from increasing violence.
 
===Izibongo Ngonidzashe's election and increasing authoritarianism===
[[File:François_Tombalbaye_p1959.jpg|150px|thumb|left|[[Alai Abyodu Tsalar]], 1960]]
In 1954, [[Samhuri Ngonidzashe]] finished his second term, and due to term limits implemented by the [[Constitution of Rwizikuru|Rwizikuran constitution]], Samhuri was prohibited from running for a third term. Instead, Samhuri appointed his son, [[Izibongo Ngonidzashe]] to be the presidential candidate in the 1954 elections.
 
Following Izibongo's election, he began to institute policies to benefit the {{wp|Christians|Sotirian}} communities at the expense of the [[Irfan|Irfanics]], with Izibongo saying in 1955 that:
 
<blockquote>"''The Rwizikuran nation must be based on three principles: one nation, one language, and one leader. If we do not develop our nation as a single nation-state, we shall be forever at the mercy of imperialist powers, from [[Euclea]], and from next door.''"</blockquote>
 
Thus, Izibongo enacted policies to further centralize the country: he abolished the 1951 compromise, and forced {{wp|Shona language|weRwizi}} to be the sole language of instruction in schools in [[Yekumavirira]]. As well, he welcomed the Sotirian refugees, and allocated "vacant land" in Yekumavirira. Combined, these policies drew the ire of the Irfanic population in the region, with [[Alai Abyodu Tsalar]] declaring in 1956 that:
 
<blockquote>"''Under President Izibongo, we are being subjugated. We are evicted to make room for those so-called 'refugees' from [[Nasana]], and impose their faith, their language, and their beliefs unto us. In the name of the {{wp|Allah|Behestee-Alef}}, we cannot permit Rwizikuru to undermine our inherent rights to be a free nation.''"</blockquote>
 
This declaration angered the Rwizikuran government, and resulted in Izibongo Ngonidzashe amending the constitution so he would serve two five-year terms as opposed to two four-year terms, in addition to Ngonidzashe beginning to crack down on Irfanic practices. In an attempt to destroy the movement, he deported [[Alai Abyodu Tsalar]] and other prominent members of the [[Yekumavirira Liberation Movement]] to [[Nasana]].
 
Despite these moves to try and crack down on the Yekumavirira Liberation Movement, it only served to attract more Irfanic people to the movement. This helped increasing the perception that the Irfanic populations were trustworthy, and in 1960, Izibongo Ngonidzashe passed legislation that allowed only three mosques to stay in operation: two in [[Port Tsalar|Port Vaugeois]] (present-day [[Port Tsalar]]), and one in [[Port Fitzhubert]].
 
This policy greatly outraged the Irfanic community, with demonstrations taking place throughout Yekumavirira: the [[Royal Rwizikuran Army|Rwizikuran Army]] were called in to quell the protests at Port Vaugeois, leading to the [[Port Vaugeois Massacre]] on 4 March, 1960, killing twenty-two people and injuring sixty-three people.
 
The massacre would serve as the catalyst for the Yekumavirira Liberation Movement to begin engaging in an armed struggle against the Rwizikuran government. Over the next several years, the movement began to carve out a stronghold in rural areas of Yekumavirira where there were still sizable Irfanic populations.
 
===Prelude===
In 1964, with Izibongo's second term expiring, he chose to use the situation in [[Yekumavirira]] as a pretext to suspend the [[Constitution of Rwizikuru]], and to declare himself [[Monarchy of Rwizikuru|Mambo]] of [[Rwizikuru]]. With the institution of the [[Basic Law of Rwizikuru]] later that year which firmly established Rwizikuru as an {{wp|absolute monarchy}}, he essentially had all the power in the country.

war ends with the [[Treaty of Catherby]] in [[Catherby]], [[Estmere]], [[Purple Line (Bahia)|Purple Line]] established to prevent further conflict along the border of the former [[Yekumavirira]] region, and population exchange
 
(TBD)
 
==Impact==
One of the greatest impacts of the war was the expulsion of [[Rwizikuru|Rwizikuran]] [[Irfan|Irfanic]] people to [[Nasana]], and the expulsion of Nasani {{wp|Christians|Sotirians}} to [[Rwizikuru]] as part of the [[Treaty of Catherby]] which ended the war between the two countries. As this made no distinctions along ethnic lines, {{wp|Shona people|weRwizi}} who followed the Irfanic faith and who had known no other country, and Sortirian [[Wopoto people|Wopoto]] found themselves in unfamiliar territories.
 
Diplomatically, relations have remained frosty between the two sides since the war... (TBC)
