The Naikangese Civil War (also known by other names) was a conflict in Naikang from 7 March 1956 to the Treaty of Bano in August 1971. The war was fought between the State of Naikang (with critical support from Riamo) and the Ashang, with supporting groups on both sides. The war was one of the first wars in the Gulf of Kouma to be widely publicised, with film, news and photographic sources spread throughout Anteria.
With the victory of the nationalist movement in the nonviolent Lotus Revolution, led by the Chengshengese Blue Lotus Party, the State of Naikang became an independent nation in the region, though very soon the Blue Lotus Party established themselves as a dominant party in the fledgeling nation. The Naikanghi Ashang, a political group that had advocated (unsuccessfully) for a wide range of policies for guaranteeing independence for the Naikanghi people, argued for the rights of the Naikanghi minority within the country, and in the wake of the 1956 elections, when anti-Naikanghi corruption was seen as highest, the Ashang declared war on the State.
The following years were marked by increasing authoritarianism within the State of Naikang, as well as numerous human rights violations, acts of genocide and/or brutal massacres. Just over a year after war was declared, General Cheq Iangsu took over the state as its president, passing an emergency powers act to ensure his continued rule over the country. Beginning in September 1963, Gheu Zinzai took over the country in a period of democratisation, and formally disbanded the Blue Lotus party, aiming for unity at any cost, even reconciliation with the Ashang. This period saw a gradual decrease in outright fighting, as well as a warming of relations. From 13 June 1971, the Bano Peace Conference was held to determine the future of a Naikangese nation, with conciliations for each side. Eventually, the current federal situation was adopted, and on 27 August, the Treaty of Bano was signed, bringing an end to the war.
