The '''internal conflict in Zorasan''' refers to disparate and separate low-level insurgences by various ethnic and ethno-religious minorities against the Zorasani central government, with nearly all seeking separatist or national liberation goals. These have been taking place since 1954, in wake of the formation of the [[Union of Zorasan]], and expanded with the formation of the [[Union of Zorasani Irfanic Republics]] in 1980.  
The '''internal conflict in Zorasan''' refers to multiple {{wp|insurgency|insurgencies}} that have been ongoing in [[Zorasan]] since 1954; the year the [[Union of Zorasan]], the predecessor state to Zorasan today, was formed. The varying conflicts have been largely ethnic and ethno-religiously based, with several groups fighting the Zorasani central government and security forces, for {{wp|self-determination}} and in some cases {{wp|national independence}}.  


Historians and researchers separate the conflicts into three stages, pre-unification, immediate post-unification and post 1990. The conflicts of the first and second stages saw the greatest loss of life and near full-scale rebellion, however, violent state crackdowns and effective counter insurgency operations saw the volume and severity of attacks decrease. Since 1990, these internal conflicts have been defined as low-level insurgencies and sporadic terrorist attacks.  
Historians and researchers generally define the conflict into three distinct phases pre-unification (1954-1980), immediate post-unification (1980-1989) and post-unification (1990-present). The first and second stages saw the most severe violence and fighting; such as the [[Kexri Uprising]] (1958-1962), [[Ashkezar War]] (1966-1973) and the [[Irvadi Uprising]] (1983-1985). The third phase has been defined as sporadic terror campaigns and acts of {{wp|civil disobedience}} and {{wp|low-level insurgencies}}. The third phase however, is marked by the [[Zorasani-Chanwan war]] (2008-2011), which was sparked by the [[Turfan]], a period of economic and political instability.  


All of the internal conflicts identified are driven primarily by ethnic and ethno-sectarian tensions between minorities and the central government. Most, if not all of the opposition groups seek independent states for their respective groups. At no point has the internal conflicts taken on a pro-democratic united front to overthrow the [[National Renovation Front]] single-party state, ostensibly to the benefit of the central government.
An estimated 100,000 people have been killed since 1954, including civilians and members of the security forces. An estimated 150,000 people have been {{wp|disappeared}} by the Zorasani authorities from 1954 to the present day in connection to the varying conflicts. The Zorasani government has been repeatedly accused of gross human rights abuses and {{wp|crimes against humanity}}, both by figures inside the country and organisations outside, with even governing figures as of 2023, being accused of abuses, notably [[Sadavir Hatami]], the incumbent deputy premier and defence minister.  
 
The internal conflict since 1954 has left over 100,000 people dead and over 250,000 reportedly disappeared. The situation has led to widespread accusations of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity against the government.

The internal conflict in Zorasan refers to multiple insurgencies that have been ongoing in Zorasan since 1954; the year the Union of Zorasan, the predecessor state to Zorasan today, was formed. The varying conflicts have been largely ethnic and ethno-religiously based, with several groups fighting the Zorasani central government and security forces, for self-determination and in some cases national independence.

Historians and researchers generally define the conflict into three distinct phases pre-unification (1954-1980), immediate post-unification (1980-1989) and post-unification (1990-present). The first and second stages saw the most severe violence and fighting; such as the Kexri Uprising (1958-1962), Ashkezar War (1966-1973) and the Irvadi Uprising (1983-1985). The third phase has been defined as sporadic terror campaigns and acts of civil disobedience and low-level insurgencies. The third phase however, is marked by the Zorasani-Chanwan war (2008-2011), which was sparked by the Turfan, a period of economic and political instability.

An estimated 100,000 people have been killed since 1954, including civilians and members of the security forces. An estimated 150,000 people have been disappeared by the Zorasani authorities from 1954 to the present day in connection to the varying conflicts. The Zorasani government has been repeatedly accused of gross human rights abuses and crimes against humanity, both by figures inside the country and organisations outside, with even governing figures as of 2023, being accused of abuses, notably Sadavir Hatami, the incumbent deputy premier and defence minister.
