The Battle of Nyabari is an ongoing battle in the city of Nyabari between elements of the National Coalition of Lyoan Opposition Forces and the government of Lyoa. The battle began on December 26, 2019 after NCLOF elements entered the city with the intentions of capturing it.

The battle has resulted in a large scale fleeing of civilians from the city, and some damage to structures. So far, clashes have been limited to the southern outskirts of the city, as this is where rebel forces have established themselves. Parts of the Nyabari Police Department are also involved in the clashes, assisting the local LNDF garrison in fighting against rebel forces. Reports state that two NCLOF groups are involved, the Union for Democracy and the National Renewal Forces.
