The Fahrani Civil War (Gharbaic: al-Ḥarb al-'Ahlīyyah al-Fahraaniyyah) is an ongoing civil war that began following an attempted military coup by General Muherram von Dauenhauer and a cabal of secularist military officers against the democratically elected, Azdarist government of President Mohammed Sabbagh in the early hours of January 1, 2019. While the initial conflict involved the secularist National Union for the Restoration of the Republic and the Azdarist National Salvation Council, both of which claim to be the legitimate government of the Second Gharib Republic, as well as their allies, it soon expanded to include a royalist faction, backed by a number of Belisarian-based monarchies, whose stated goal is to reestablish the monarchy under Hazea I, daughter of the late Ismail III.
Background
In the aftermath of the December Intifada, a liberal convention, dominated by the nascent People's National Congress, ratified the Constitution of 1996 by an overwhelming majority. The constitution established the Second Gharib Republic and imposed a strict separation of modahn and state. Even at the time, the policy of laicity, which extended to the banning of religious symbols and garb in public, was controversial, especially in more rural and conservative regions of the country.
