The Jiddiyan Civil War was a period of civil disorder and violence in Saudi Jiddiya in 1991, sparked by the suppression of protests and political gatherings by the Maahir el-Sarah tyrannical regime. In February, the el-Sarah regime forces began a violent crackdown on protestors and quickly the situation unfolded into rebels attacking government targets. All major population centres were engulfed in demonstrations and violence by 13 March and foreign countries began to evacuate their citizens. These evacuations included Operation Kibbilesa and Operation Towers Wake. The Coalition of Crown Albatross Security Council, in Resolution 843, authorised a force of 17,000 troops on July 1st to direct relief efforts and restore order in Saudi Jiddiya. The C.C.A. feared the unrest would spread beyond Jiddiya's borders and send refugees throughout Adula, and the Coalition force led by Emmiria and Durnstaal intervened, invading the country. On 15 August, Operation Salba was launched, overthrowing Maahir el-Sarah's regime, and the war officially ended on September 2nd, 1991. Coalition forces stayed in Jiddiya and helped restore rule of law in the country until they departed and ended the occupation at the beginning of 1992.
