The 2023 Zalluabed conflict, also known as the Zalluabed civil war, began on August 20th, 2023 when the Royal Zalluabed Defense Forces under the command of General Saahir Salim ousted the democratically-elected government of President Husani Antar in a coup and took control of the capital Zakaraban. Antar fled to Albarine while Salim consolidated power, and pro-Antar rebels organized under the "Free Zalluabed Movement" (Feyt Zalluabed Ayat) began a series of armed resistance campaigns to oppose Salim's rule. On October 23rd, a TTPA coalition of 23,000 troops led by Nebetia, Peoratia, and Buckingla arrived in Zalluabed to support Salim's forces.
The international community has strongly condemned Salim's forces for drone attacks targeting civilian areas; the war has killed or injured an estimated 19,196 civilians. The CCA Security Council has convened multiple times to address the war, but the ongoing Haduastan War and international tensions with Yuan have detracted attention to Zalluabed.
