The '''Apatonia Civil War''', also known as the '''Biulundo Conflict''', is an ongoing multi-sided civil war in [[Apatonia]] between forces of the government, opposition forces, and other rebel factions. Beginning in 2017, the [[Lundia Defense Forces]], an [[Al-Fijar|al-Fijar]] affiliated rebel group in the easternmost province of [[Lundia]], began fighting the federal government under [[President of Apatonia|President]] [[Asyuer Odoyo]]. Intially the fighting began as a declaration of separatist intention from the LDF, but evolved into a desire to distance the country from ethnic federalism and ethnic nationalist politics, while some LDF factions wish to form an {{wp|Islamic caliphate}} in Apatonia. Due to the onset of the war, a deep humanitarian crisis has developed.


[[Mlamuli Ngotsha]] was elected [[President of Apatonia|President]] in 2018, inheriting the conflict and making significant gains against the rebels. Insurgent activity largely declined by the end of 2018 and the conflict stayed restrained to Lundia province in sporadic clashes, until the September 2021 fall of [[Biulundo]] to the rebels, which resulted in the [[Coalition of Crown Albatross]] Mission in Southern Adula (CCAMSA) sending hundreds of additional peacekeepers to the region. Federal forces began to be pushed back by the end of 2021, and a political crisis between Ngotsha and [[Prime Minister of Apatonia|Prime Minister]] [[Michel Lukonde]] unfolded as Ngotsha suspended Lukonde's powers, delayed elections, and reformed the constitution. Lukonde and his supporters in the National Army subsequently took control of several government offices in the capital of [[Sifondo]]. Ngotsha survived an assassination attempt on January 1st 2022. On January 2nd 2022, LDF insurgents [[2022 Sifondo embassy attacks|attacked multiple international consulates]] and triggered diplomatic suspensions. On January 17th 2022, Lukonde led a coup that ousted Ngotsha, and on January 23rd the government of [[Unified Sera]] declared war on both Lukonde's government and the LDF.  
'''Vongane''' is the capital and the largest city of [[Quetana]], with an estimated population of 3,505,526 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km2. Vogane's urban area, which consists of the Vongane Administrative Division and sections of the [[Fiutania]] urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.8 million people, being one of the most populous urban areas in [[Adula]] outside of [[Emmiria]] and [[Cadair]]. About 7 million people live in the Vogane metropolitan area, which represents approximately 42% of the country's population. It lies on the coast of the [[Olympic Ocean]]. Most of the headquarters of multinational corporations in Quetana are located in the Vongane area. It is also the political center of the country, as its seat of government and residence of the head of state.


About 120,000 people were estimated to have been killed in the war by January 2022, including notable atrocities such as the [[2018 Intupo massacre]] and the [[2021 Dori massacre]]. More than 200,000 civilians have fled Apatonia, largely to [[Unified Sera]], [[Timeria]], and [[Austrolis]], and more than a million people have been internally displaced. Fighting in the agricultural heartland in the center of the country caused the number of people facing starvation to soar to 4 million, causing famine in 2018 in some areas. The country's economy has also been devastated.
Vongane is recognized as an alpha-level global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. It is one of the major economic centers on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Adula's Olympic coast.
