The '''Zalluabed civil war''' began on August 20th, 2023 when the [[Royal Zalluabed Defense Forces]] under the command of General [[Saahir Salim]] ousted the democratically-elected government of [[President of Zalluabed|President]] [[Husani Antar]] in [[2023 Zalluabed coup|a coup]] and took control of the capital [[Zakaraban]]. Antar fled to [[Albarine]] while Salim consolidated power, and pro-Antar rebels organized under the "Free Zalluabed Movement" ([[Feyt Zalluabed Ayat]]) began a series of armed resistance campaigns to oppose Salim's rule. On October 23rd, a [[Trans-Toyana Prosper Alliance|TTPA coalition]] of 23,000 troops led by [[Nebetia]], [[Peoratia]], and [[Buckingla]] arrived in Zalluabed to support Salim's forces. On October 26th, Salim was killed in a [[Zamastan]]ian drone strike, and two days later former-President [[Zayyaan al-Akhtar]] was assassinated by a FZA gunman.
The '''Zalluabed civil war''' is an ongoing multi-sided conflict in [[Zalluabed]] which began on August 20th, 2023 when the [[Royal Zalluabed Defense Forces]] under the command of General [[Saahir Salim]] ousted the democratically-elected government of [[President of Zalluabed|President]] [[Husani Antar]] in [[2023 Zalluabed coup|a coup]] and took control of the capital [[Zakaraban]]. Antar fled to [[Albarine]] while Salim consolidated power, and pro-Antar rebels organized under the "Free Zalluabed Movement" ([[Feyt Zalluabed Ayat]]) began a series of armed resistance campaigns to oppose Salim's rule. Rebel forces successfully seized several vital cities like [[Kurdajar]], [[Tuim]], and [[Abaronah]], while conducting guerilla warfare in most major urban centers. On October 23rd, a [[Trans-Toyana Prosper Alliance|TTPA coalition]] of 23,000 troops led by [[Nebetia]], [[Peoratia]], and [[Buckingla]] arrived in Zalluabed to support Salim's forces. On October 26th, Salim was killed in a [[Zamastan]]ian drone strike, and two days later former-President [[Zayyaan al-Akhtar]] was assassinated by a FZA gunman.


On November 26th, [[2023 Tarijar Strait drone attacks|a series of drone attacks]] against ports in the [[Tarijar Strait]] by the [[Kubani Unit|forces]] of [[Suhaib el-Dar Moussa]] led to [[WEDA]] and the [[Alliance of Nortuan States|ANS]] building up their forces in the [[Emmiria Sea]], and the government in Zakaraban now led by [[Jirhanu Bjyala]] declaring el-Dar Moussa a traitor. El-Dar Moussa and the regional governors of Qahaza, Tuim, and Gan on November 28th declared the creation of the [[People's Republic of Qahaza]] and announced their autonomy from Zalluabed.

El-Dar Moussa and the regional governors of Qahaza, Tuim, and Gan on November 28th declared the creation of the [[People's Republic of Qahaza]] and announced their autonomy from Zalluabed. After drone attacks pummeled [[Saint Raneau]] on November 30th, WEDA and the ANS began [[Operation Afton]], which authorized member states to establish and enforce a no-fly zone over the PRQ, and to use "all necessary measures" to prevent attacks on civilians, which turned into a bombing campaign by the forces of WEDA and ANS against [[Kubani Unit]] military installations and vehicles. The TTPA, fearing being drawn into a regional war, removed Secretary General [[Fahid Abdullah]], suspended Zalluabed's membership in the TTPA, and withdrew its military forces.


The international community has strongly condemned Salim's forces for drone attacks targeting civilian areas; the war has killed or injured an estimated 19,196 civilians. The [[Coalition of Crown Albatross|CCA Security Council]] has convened multiple times to address the war, but the ongoing [[Haduastan War]] and international tensions with [[Yuan]] have detracted attention from Zalluabed.
The international community has strongly condemned the regime and PRQ forces for attacks targeting civilian areas; the war has killed or injured an estimated 29,196 civilians. Allegations of persecution, torture, and genocide against ethnic and religious minorities, including [[Hisrea]]ns, [[Qahazi Catholics]], and [[Batnas]] have been levied against both the regime and PRQ. The [[Coalition of Crown Albatross|CCA Security Council]] has convened multiple times to address the war, and the end of the [[Haduastan War]] refocused international attention to Zalluabed in December 2023. Ceasefire proposals have collapsed and peace talks have stalled. Proposals for CCA peacekeeping missions in Qahazar have been presented, though none have been approved.

[[Jirhanu Bjyala]] states that el-Dar Moussa had acted on his own and condemned the attacks as traitorous, but warns against military retaliation.

    The Zalluabed civil war is an ongoing multi-sided conflict in Zalluabed which began on August 20th, 2023 when the Royal Zalluabed Defense Forces under the command of General Saahir Salim ousted the democratically-elected government of President Husani Antar in a coup and took control of the capital Zakaraban. Antar fled to Albarine while Salim consolidated power, and pro-Antar rebels organized under the "Free Zalluabed Movement" (Feyt Zalluabed Ayat) began a series of armed resistance campaigns to oppose Salim's rule. Rebel forces successfully seized several vital cities like Kurdajar, Tuim, and Abaronah, while conducting guerilla warfare in most major urban centers. On October 23rd, a TTPA coalition of 23,000 troops led by Nebetia, Peoratia, and Buckingla arrived in Zalluabed to support Salim's forces. On October 26th, Salim was killed in a Zamastanian drone strike, and two days later former-President Zayyaan al-Akhtar was assassinated by a FZA gunman.

    On November 26th, a series of drone attacks against ports in the Tarijar Strait by the forces of Suhaib el-Dar Moussa led to WEDA and the ANS building up their forces in the Emmiria Sea, and the government in Zakaraban now led by Jirhanu Bjyala declaring el-Dar Moussa a traitor. El-Dar Moussa and the regional governors of Qahaza, Tuim, and Gan on November 28th declared the creation of the People's Republic of Qahaza and announced their autonomy from Zalluabed. After drone attacks pummeled Saint Raneau on November 30th, WEDA and the ANS began Operation Afton, which authorized member states to establish and enforce a no-fly zone over the PRQ, and to use "all necessary measures" to prevent attacks on civilians, which turned into a bombing campaign by the forces of WEDA and ANS against Kubani Unit military installations and vehicles. The TTPA, fearing being drawn into a regional war, removed Secretary General Fahid Abdullah, suspended Zalluabed's membership in the TTPA, and withdrew its military forces.

    The international community has strongly condemned the regime and PRQ forces for attacks targeting civilian areas; the war has killed or injured an estimated 29,196 civilians. Allegations of persecution, torture, and genocide against ethnic and religious minorities, including Hisreans, Qahazi Catholics, and Batnas have been levied against both the regime and PRQ. The CCA Security Council has convened multiple times to address the war, and the end of the Haduastan War refocused international attention to Zalluabed in December 2023. Ceasefire proposals have collapsed and peace talks have stalled. Proposals for CCA peacekeeping missions in Qahazar have been presented, though none have been approved.
