The Kainan Crisis is an ongoing series of anti-government protests, riots, and armed insurgencies taking place in Kainan in 2021. The movement has been organised against the repressinve Inui regime in Kainan, which enforces policies that maintain high levels of inequality between the country's ruling classes and its much larger working classes. Major issues which led to the beginning of the protests in Kainan include racism, economic stratification, and labour exploitation.

International responses
In April of 2021, Dayashinese Prime Minister Daichi Noru issued a recall for all Dayashinese citizens in Kainan to return within two weeks, followed by an outright travel ban for any Dayashinese to travel to Kainan on grounds of instability and open threat to ethnically Dayashinese persons. Despite outcries on social media and in press conferences for a statement, the Dayashinese government remained notably silent on the issue of the Kainan Crisis, refusing to comment until the situation deteriorated in May.
