The Insurgency in M'biruna, also known as the M'birunan Insurgency, was an eight month long armed insurgency that began on April 2007 in M'biruna, almost immediately after the signing and ratification of the Nkomo Accords. The conflict was fought largely by the Ingubu aligned Cha Cha Ungalakothi (CCU) Militia alongside its allies, against the Multinational Peacekeeping Force M'biruna, the latter being an international peacekeeping and humanitarian taskforce that was deployed to M'biruna as part of the peace process of the M'birunan Civil War. The insurgency was the direct result of the the provisions of the Nkomo Accords, a peace treaty that was signed by the government of M'biruna and the separatist Agysimban rebels. The rootcause of the insurgency included disagreements among both M'birunan and Agysimban militias on the various provisions of the Nkomo Peace accords. Two of the most commonly rejected provisions include the disarmament of all militia and rebel groups that were not recognized in the accords as well as the reorganization of M'biruna's administrative division. The insurgency began as a series of non-violent raids conducted by the CCU against MPFM civilian aid convoys & workers, stealing food, water and medical supplies with no fatalities. This however gradually escalated into a series of skirmishes as the MPFM increased the number of military personnel, with the insurgency culminating in the Battle of Mtshelelele, an intense three day urban battle between CCU militias and MPFM military forces. The battle is often considered as a turning point of the insurgency as the CCU, suffering heavy losses to its manpower during the battle, found itself unable to sustain a prolonged armed resistance against the MPFM. An investigation by the MPFM also discovered that elements within M'biruna's military leadership also provided covert support to the CCU. Using this as leverage the MPFM was able to force these sympathetic elements within M'biruna's military to persuade the CCU to end its resistance and comply with the Nkomo Accords in full. Further resistance by the CCU and other dissident militias ended by December 2007 and the disarmament and demobilization of all militias were completed by July 2008.
