The Conflict in the Magadi, also known as the Magadi Conflict, the Magadi War, and the MIRIF Conflict is an ongoing conflict within the Tiwuran region of the The Magadi between the Tiwuran Armed Forces and separatist rebel organizations, primarily the Magadi Irfanic Revolutionary Independence Front. The conflict has been ongoing since the First Tiwuran Civil War and has seen multiple periods of intensification. The conflict has caused thousands of deaths and resulted in destruction of much of the region. Refugees have been a growing concern as more and more flee the conflict each month due to recent escalation that began in 2018.
The rebellion began with the rise of Hassan Dwombé, who rose in popularity amongst western Magadians and proposed to separate and form an Irfanic nation based on the principals of Zorasani Sattarism. The region fell under control of two other rebel groups by this time, the Independent Ouloume Resistance Army and the Tiwuran Peoples' Union. The western Magadi fell rejected IORA because of their Solarian Catholic and Ouloume-dominated leadership and the TPU for their policies of socialism and rejection of Irfanic practices. Dwombé was a charismatic leader, and he would gain the support of the masses of the western Magadi and began their revolt against the rebel groups that dominated the region. MIRIF would struggle to hold control, however, as TAF forces under Reese Okparro Ndulu would defeat IORA and quickly stomp out the rebellion in the Magadi. Dwombé and the rebels would begin to fight a low-intensity conflict.
MIRIF would become much less of asignificant threat to the government, and the next two decades saw small-scale attacks on government positions and Sotirian missionaries in the region. Dwombé would flee to Zorasan in 1987 with the election of Kibwe Chipo. Chipo would begin to impose heavier religious restrictions on Irfanis within the country. In 1989, Ahmoud Raheem, a MIRIF insurgent leader, would agree to integrate his portion of MIRIF into Ashavazdar Haroun's Irfanic People's Liberation Army. Other MIRIF groups would reject this, seeing that their cause was more about independence Magadians and nothing else. When the Second Tiwuran Civil War broke out, Raheem's MIRIF fighters would join the Tiwuran Alliance of Peoples with Haroun and Gundaya socialist Mowiya Sekoni. Other MIRIF groups, like that of Ibrahim Garang, would stay out and continue rebuilding their forces. Dwombé would not return from Zorasan, but he would express his support for any rebellion against Chipo. In 1995, at the end of the conflict, Mowiya Sekoni and his forces within the TAP would take control of the government. A rift formed between the Irfanic members of the TAP and the socialist members, which ended with the Haroun being exiled and Sekoni taking over as "provisional president". This resulted in massive outcry from the Irfani Tiwurans, and Dwombé would return to the Magadi to unite his forces and begin another rebellion. This time, Dwombé formed an alliance with the New Irfanic Army of Tiwura, a rebel organization from the northwest and Horoland. NIAT was slowly subdued in the north, and their forces began to move into the Magadi to reinforce MIRIF. Dwombé's rebellion was incredibly successful, and the TAF, which was in shambles after the Second Civil War, was in no control of the conflict and sustained heavy losses in every attempt they had at retaking the western and norther areas of the Magadi.
