The ELN insurgency of Agōmòlām, also known as the Agōmòlām insurgency, is an ongoing civil conflict in Wallenland, between government forces and the insurgency ELN (Enanégepāg Libínàs Nàdegò), who seek to overthrow the Wallenland government. The conflict began in Northern Agōmòlām province in late 2023, after supporters of the ELN rejected national election results and began rioting, while fighters aligned with the group began seizing control of towns and extremists began a campaign of terror attacks in the region. By December, attacks had spread to the national capital of Valhókoà, and the Prime Minister Kahia'ika Alo'abàkradíno declared a state of war between the Wallene military and the insurgency.

In January 2024, the Beleroskov Armed Forces intervened in the conflict to back the Wallenland government.

The conflict has been complicated by numerous factors. The Christmas Eve eruption of Mount Bapò'iliop diverted much of the government's efforts away from the insurgency and allowed the ELN to gain a stronger foothold. International attention has been diverted largely to the recovery of Terehan and the Zalluabed civil war, resulting in stalled foreign aid. Furthermore, the Ossotian insurgent group SPOR has carried out assassinations of Wallenland nationals and diplomats in Beleroskov, including the killing of Wallenland's ambassador Filipe Óscarpāfiolò in Koyevka and the attack on the Wallenland embassy in Saint Offeat.
