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. On October 26th, Salim was killed in a Zamastanian drone strike, and two days later former-President Zayyaan al-Akhtar was assassinated by a FZA gunman.
On November 26th, a series of drone attacks against ports in the Tarijar Strait by the forces of Suhaib el-Dar Moussa led to WEDA and the ANS building up their forces in the Emmiria Sea, and the government in Zakaraban now led by Jirhanu Bjyala declaring el-Dar Moussa a traitor. El-Dar Moussa and the regional governors of Qahaza, Tuim, and Gan on November 28th declared the creation of the People's Republic of Qahaza and announced their autonomy from Zalluabed.
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 from Zalluabed.
