The Kembesan Civil War is an armed conflict that began on January 1, 202#. Following the attempted coup of the Federal Parliament and the Imperial Palace by the Federalist faction, the conflict quickly devolved into a tripartite civil war between Imperial loyalist forces, the Federalists, and the Tewahedo Coalition of the Imperial Parliament. As the war progressed, a number of foreign powers launched interventions in favour of different factions, escalating the war to a major regional conflict.

Political conditions

2024 parliamentary crisis

Tewahedo Party: 39 seats

Democratic Freedom Party: 31 seats

National Agrarian Party: 23 seats

Kembesan Unity Party: 40 seats

Conservative Party: 4 seats

August 14, 2024 - The Tewahedo Party forms a coalition government in the Popular Assembly of the Imperial Parliament joined by the moderate-left Democratic Freedom Party. Tesfaldet Woldemesfin is the chancellor presumptive.

August 22, 2024 - The Kembesan Unity Party (chaired by Emperor Hailu II's nephew, Makonnen Yemata) disputes the result of the election, launching proceedings in the Imperial Court of Justice. The Fall session of the Imperial Parliament is suspended pending the proceedings.

September 28, 2024 - The National Agrarian Party pledges support to constitutional reform in exchange for concessions from the Tewahedo Coalition, bringing a total of 2/3 of the Assembly on board.

October 31, 2024 - The major points of the constitutional reform are publicly unveiled: including Georgist tax reform, expanded suffrage, the unitary reorganization of the country's administrative subdivisions, and the abolition of the upper house of parliament.

November 18, 2024 - The KUP's complaint in the Imperial Court of Justice is dismissed and Tesfaldet Woldemesfin is set to be officially acclaimed as chancellor.

November 26, 202#-1 - The Popular Assembly returns to session and the draft constitutional reform's first reading is philibustered by members of Kembesan Unity Party, and the Conservative Party.

November 30, 202#-1 - Continued legislative deadlock devolves to violence in the streets. Opposition to the reforms is galvanized among regional minorities who are disproportionately unrepresented in the Federal Parliament.

December 4, 202#-1 - Rioting in the capital of Azwa leads the Emperor to order the deployment of Imperial Army to bolster the Capital Gendarmerie.

December 20, 202#-1 - The Emperor declares martial law in the capital and calls for the suspension of the Imperial Parliament again.

December 21, 202#-1 - Members of the Tewahedo Coalition defy the suspension, declare the Popular Assembly to be quorate, and vote to approve the package of constitutional reforms.

December 22, 202#-1 - The reform bill is submitted to the Imperial Palace for assent; Tesfaldet Woldemesfin is kidnapped by agents of the Imperial Army, acting without the direction of the Emperor, and is murdered.

December 29, 202#-1 - The deadline for the Emperor to assent, veto, or refer the reform bill to the Noble Assembly passes without event; violence and civil unrest intensifies in the country.

December 31, 202#-1 - Imperial Army soldiers march on the Popular Assembly under the pretense of enforcing the suspension; Dejazmač Sebhat Melekot occupies the Imperial Parliament complex and declares martial law across the entire country; the Imperial Palace is surrounded by the Imperial Army. Dejazmač Melekot proclaims that the events of the past four-and-a-half months have violated the Kembesan principles of federalism under the constitution and declares his cause to protect the constitution and the rights of the constituent nations of the Empire.

January 1, 202# - Emperor Hailu II abdicates in favour of his nephew who now reigns as Emperor Makonnen; the new Emperor declares that the leaders of the Imperial Army are enemies of the state and the country descends into civil war.

Civil war factions

Makonnen Yemata, succeeded his uncle as Emperor of Kembesa on January 1, 202#, though he remains uncrowned

Natsinet Demeksa, former Deputy Chairperson, now acting political leader of the Tewahedo Coalition

Sebhat Melekot, the Dejazmač or "Commander of the Centre", former head of the Imperial Army, present leader of the Federalists

Makonnen's Loyalists are a conservative monarchist faction fighting against the Imperial Parliament's imbroglio and the Federalist coup. The Loyalist forces are made up of the Capital Gendarmerie, the Imperial Navy, and elements of the Imperial Army.
The Tewahedo Coalition is made up of a centre-left to left-wing parliamentary coalition. Their goals are to enact democratic reforms and centralization. The core of the movement is based in non-denominational religious socialism, but became significantly more "big tent" over the past four months in the process of trying to negotiate for reforms in the Popular Assembly. At the outset of the war, they don't have much in terms of materiel, but they have significant popular support in the Empire's core and outlying cities.
The Federalists are a militaristic and regionalist faction fighting against the cultural and political imperialism of the Empire's core. The Federalists are supported by a significant portion of Imperial Army regulars from minority regions as well as members of the minor nobility who have seen regional autonomy eroded after the 1936 Constitution which significantly favoured the Kingdom of Meharia.
