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.

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. 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.

*August 22nd - Antar crosses into [[Albarine]] with refugees, appearing publicly in [[New Altai]] with [[Chancellor of Albarine|Chancellor]] [[Sadie Melhaven]], who grants his asylum.
=====September=====
=====October=====
*October 23rd - Pro-Antar forces capture two key neighborhoods on the outskirts of Zakaraban and begin massing their forces for an assault on the capital, prompting [[Nebetia]], [[Peoratia]], and [[Buckingla]] to begin sending troops to Zalluabed to back the military-led government in defense of the capital city.
*October 24th - More than 20,000 TTPA personnel have arrived in Zakaraban and begin setting up positions around the capital.
*October 25th - 16 Nebetian and 28 Peoratian soldiers are killed in clashes with rebels around Zakaraban. A convoy of TTPA military vehicles moving north from the capital to secure a power plant in the coastal town of [[Hajacari]] for government forces is attacked by rebels, resulting in heavy fighting, several destroyed vehicles, and high casualties. The rebel force was pushed into a retreat, but the TTPA losses forced the convoy to return to Zakaraban for resupply.
*October 26th - General Saahir Salim officially calls the conflict in Zalluabed a civil war as fighting erupts around the capital. He calls on the TTPA to send more forces to defend Zakaraban.
*October 27th - Saahir Salim is killed when a missile hits his convoy leaving the presidential palace in Zakaraban. Defense Minister [[Jirhanu Bjyala]] accuses [[Zamastan]] of carrying out the attack, and this is later publicly confirmed by the [[Zamastanian Intelligence Service|ZIS]] and [[President of Zamastan|President]] [[Sabine Armitage]], who say that a drone targetted Salim after intelligence reports indicated he was planning to support a terrorist attack against [[WEDA]] forces in south [[Adula]]. Foreign Minister [[Nashat el-Yusef]] calls the assassination of Salim "a declaration of war", but later backtracks and says "we don't seek war, only that these actions justify our stance to strike back if we are threatened further... we do not seek war and we will not strike back, but we will if they act further."
*October 28th - Former-[[President of Zalluabed|President]] [[Zayyaan al-Akhtar]] is assassinated by a gunman in Zakaraban, who then detonates a suicide vest, killing 20 others. Defense Minister Jirhanu Bjyala assumes control of the interim government following Salim and al-Akhtar's killings, and says that the increasing attacks point to coordinated campaigns by pro-Antar "terrorists" to take out the pro-military leadership.

*November 25th - RZDF [[IL9-Ibis]] fighter jets mistakenly hit a TTPA column, killing 8 Nebetian soldiers.
*November 26th - The forces of General [[Suhaib el-Dar Moussa]], operating out of the Qahazar peninsula, [[2023 Tarijar Strait drone attacks|carry out a series of drone strikes]] across the [[Tarijar Strait]], prompting [[WEDA]] and the [[Alliance of Nortuan States|ANS]] to consider retaliatory strikes. [[Jirhanu Bjyala]] states that el-Dar Moussa had acted on his own and condemned the attacks as traitorous, but warns against military retaliation. El-Dar Moussa is subsequently stripped of his rank and command, but he and his forces continue their campaign to seize control of Qahaza, now operating against both the military and the [[Feyt Zalluabed Ayat|FZA rebels]].
*November 28th - El-Dar Moussa declares the formation of the [[People's Republic of Qahaza]]. [[Albarine]]an forces shoot down a series of drones fired towards [[New Altai]].

[[WEDA]] Secretary General [[Damian Levasseur]] says that WEDA is capable of intervening in "both Haduastan and Zalluabed if it comes to it," warning Moussa against further antagonism.
*November 29th - A clash between RZDF and Feyt Ayat fighters in southern Benel province spillsover into [[Togaria]], killing two civilians.

The same day, the TTPA suspends Zalluabed's membership and begins a withdrawal from the country, ending Nebetian, Buckinglan, and Peoratian participation in the conflict. More than a thousand TTPA soldiers had died in the conflict since they were deployed in October.

    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.
