| The '''Garamburan War of Independence''' ({{wp|Shona language|veRwizi}}: ''Garamburan Hondo Yekuzvimirira''; {{wp|Xhosa language|Sisulu}}: ''I-Garambura Imfazwe yokuZimela''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''Guerre d'indépendance de Garambouren''), also known as the '''War of Liberation''' (veRwizi: ''Hondo yerusununguko''; Sisulu: ''Imfazwe yenkululeko''; {{wp|Chewa language|Njinji}}: ''Nkhondo Yachiwombolo''; Gaullican: ''Guerre de libération'') in [[Garambura]] was a war fought between the [[Rwizikuru|Kingdom of Rwizikuru]] and the newly-established [[Garambura|Republic of Garambura]], together with the [[East Riziland Liberation Front]]. The war lasted from February 16 to April 30, when the Treaty of Bazadavo was signed that ensured Rwizikuru would recognise Garamburan independence. The war mainly took place near the [[River Gonda]], which served as a strategic barrier for the Garamburans who often counter-attacked using the Gonda as natural cover.
| | '''Sanday''' ({{wp|Rusyn language|Narodyn}}: Сандай; ''Sanday'') also known as '''Sandai''' was a leased city of [[Lainan]] owned by the [[Narozalica|Narozalic Republic]] from the signing of the Treaty of Sandai in 1862 to its annexation by Lainan upon the outbreak of the Second Narozalic Civil War in 1978. It was the penultimate Coian concession to return to its original owner, followed only by the signing of the [[Xiao-Estmerish Jindao Treaty]] and the transfer of Jindao from [[Estmere]] to [[Xiaodong]] in 1996. |
| | |
| | A major stop along Narozalica's Coian trade concessions, Sanday was the easternmost city of significance along the trade route following the seizure of Bahan in [[Dezevau]] by Gaullican colonial authorities in 1860. Situated on the edge of the wealthy Bay of X in Lainan on the Sandai Peninsula, and one of five concessions forming the Common Southern Exclusive Economic Zone in Lainan, along with Conghoa ([[Gaullica]]), Vinhxau ([[Werania]]), Loitay (TBD) and Congbao ([[Senria]]), it was the most populous of the Garden of Coius concessions provided by Lainan to the Euclean powers towards the end of the 19th century. It played a crucial part in maintaining Narozalic naval and economic influence in the region, and also directing trade back to the mainland for amenities such as tea, spices and plants, as well as providing income through labourious jobs such as shipping and coal mining. |
| | |
| | Sanday survived through the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], but President [[Vladislav Pudovkin]] did not agree to return Sanday like the other Euclean powers had with their concessions. As such, Sanday remained a Narozalic city until the outbreak of the Second Narozalic Civil War in 1978, after which it was forcefully re-annexed by Lainan with little resistance. |

| The war took off initially when acting President and historic pro-independence activist [[Kuziva Midzi]] proclaimed the Republic of Garambura in his February 16 address in [[Mambiza|Sainte-Germaine]], announcing he would become the acting President of Garambura while [[Fezile Maqoma]] would succeed him as the leader of the ERLF. Midzi intended to use the ongoing [[Mabifian-Rwizikuran War]] over the region of [[Yekumavirira]] as leverage for Garambura to gain more in the conflict, but any plans for this were quickly squandered as Rwizikuru made early advances into Garambura and effectively occupying most of the land south-west of the Gonda, including the town of Ntawha, which would be used as a strategic outpost throughout the war. The Garamburans were slow to respond and the unorganised nature of the militia forces made it difficult to advance into enemy territory.

| Before March, [[Estmere]], [[Gaullica]], [[Djedet]], [[Mabifia]], and [[Senria]] all publicly announced their support for the cause in Garambura, with all except Mabifia sending military supplies to the Garamburan militants, with emphasis on artillery, which would be used to bombard veRwizi positions throughout the war. [[Xiaodong]] quickly announced its support for Rwizikuru in retaliation of the Senrian declaration of support for Garambura. The first major breakthrough for either side was scored when the ERLF successfully forced a veRwizi battalion to retreat at the [[Battle of Tsvangirayi]] on March 11, however by this time the veRwizi army had conceded defeat in [[Mabifia]], increasing the amount of available manpower but greatly diminishing morale. The ERLF would function as an effective guerrilla force in the northern Gonda Delta, where the veRwizi were kept due to mountainous and densely forested terrain in the north. With daily bombardment from across the Gonda, the veRwizi army was becoming increasingly divided across the Gonda, which allowed the Garamburan army to secure a crucial victory at the [[Battle of Ntawha]] on April 19, effectively sealing the war as the veRwizi were quickly pushed back by a major Garamburan offensive between April 21 and 27, by which time the Garamburan forces had entered the [[Chekumabvazuva_(district)|Chekumabvazuva]] district in eastern Rwizikuru. A ceasefire was called on April 27, and the Treaty of Bazadavo was signed three days later in [[Dezevau]], a peace mediator in the conflict, securing veRwizi recognition of a Garamburan state.

| The war was devastating for the Gonda delta region and upwards of 400,000 people, both military and civilian, were killed or displaced in the conflict. Cleanup efforts and humanitarian missions in the Gonda delta began almost immediately to help those displaced and to bring the farmland into better condition, which had suffered hugely by constant bombardment. While Garambura was independent by all legal means, it was effectively shunned from [[Bahia]] and the [[Congress of Bahian States]] by Rwizikuru until [[Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe]] succeeded his father in 1979, when the [[Mambiza Accords]] were signed, relations normalised and Garambura finally admitted into the CBS after ten years of independence. The war also resulted in Rwizikuru gradually shifting away from [[ROSPO]] and aligning itself towards the [[Euclean Community]] and [[COMSED]].
