'''South Kabu''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Kabupik Kidul''), officially the '''Socialist Republic of Kabu''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Republik Sosialis Wong Kabupik'') also known as the '''RSK''', is a country in [[Southeast Coius]] constituting the southern part of the [[Kabu Archipelago]]. The country shares a maritime border with [[North Kabu]] across the strait of TBD. Like it's Northern counterpart South Kabu claims the entirety of the Kabu Archipelago and the overseas territories of [[Kingsport]] and [[Nouvel Anglet]] of [[Estmere]] and [[Gaullica]] respectively. It has an area of 44,154km2 (17,048 sq mi) and a population of 7,841,984. The capital city of South Kabu is [[Ayukarta]] which is also the largest city in the Kabuese archipelago.
'''South Kabu''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Kabupik Kidul''), officially the '''Socialist Republic of Kabu''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Republik Sosialis Wong Kabupik'') also known as the '''RSK''', is a country in [[Southeast Coius]] constituting the southern part of the [[Kabuese Archipelago]]. The country shares a maritime border with [[North Kabu]] across the strait of TBD. South Kabu claims the entire territory of the Kabuese archipelago and claims to be the sole legitimate representative of the archipelago internationally. It has an area of 44,154km<sup>2</sup> (17,048 sq mi) and a population of 7,841,984. The capital city of South Kabu is [[Solo]] which is also the largest city in the Kabuese archipelago.


The first human settlers arrived in what is now South Kabu at around 500AD. The earliest evidence of human settlements come from [[Tanah Yuwana|Yuwana]]. Primarily these settlements were found on the coast or inland near {{wpl|Paddy fields}} and {{wpl|Terrace (earthworks)|Rice terraces}} which are prominent to this day in South Kabu. Through trade and contact with [[Dezevau]] the [[Badi]] religion was spread across the Kabu Archipelago becoming the dominant religion in the archipelago influencing centuries of Kabuese culture. Various Kabuese Kingdoms and states existed throughout Kabuese history, the most prominent is the [[Kingdom of Kabu]] which existed from XXXX to XXXX and was governed from TBD. The [[Aguda Empire]] established control over the Kabuese archipelago to control the expanding Spice Trade in the area. As a result of the growing spice trade the city of [[Sulapangan]] was ceded to the Estmerish TBD (East India Company) as a trading port for primarily spices. The company's influence grew over the Aguda eventually allowing the company to gain a monopoly on the Spice Trade in the Kabu archipelago. The Carolinian Islands colony was officially created in 1797 with the Colonial administration being based in [[Ayukarta]]. Estmerish rule over the archipelago continued almost uninterrupted until the outbreak of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] when Gaullica invaded and occupied the colony. Following the invasion the Gaullican administration on the islands promised the natives independence if Gaullica won the war leading to a surge in anti-Estmerish and pro-independence sentiment on the islands. Following the war, various pro-independence anti-colonial militias were set up. The largest in the South was the [[National Liberation Front of Kabu]] which was a {{wpl|Socialism|Socialist}} group which desired an independent, socialist Kabu similar to [[Kirenia]]. Tensions between the Socialists and Nationalists led to the beginning of the [[Kabu Civil War]] between the Socialists and Nationalists eventually culminating in a stalemate and a ceasefire under the Treaty of X. Following the war, militia leader [[Sutikno Harjo]] was elected President. Sutikno was assassinated in 1984 leading to the beginning of the [[Negara Darurat]] which still continues until today. In 2022 President [[Tirto Sutikno]] and the army used emergency powers to remove hardline elements of the government in a [[2021 South Kabuese coup d'état|coup d'état]].
The southern portions of the Kabuese Archipelago have experienced continuous human inhabitation since approximately 432CE according to existing records and archaeological evidence of {{wpl|Rice|rice farming}} and human civilisation on [[Gedhe]]. During the 9th century the [[Kingdom of Agunglintang]] was influential in spreading [[Badi|Badist]] beliefs across the south of the archipelago through trade with [[Dezevau]]. The archipelago was unified under several kingdoms at various points in it's history although was finally conquered by the [[Aguda Empire]] in [[Agudan conquest of Kabu|1558]] who centralised power in the newly created city of [[Solo|Vinhumavizia]]. The islands became particularly important to the global spice trade and were an important trading hub in the [[Brown Sea]]. The islands were eventually sold to the [[Kingdom of Estmere]] after the purchase of [[Kingsport|Pulau Hujung]] in 1778 and were consolidated into the [[Colony of the Carolinian Islands|Carolinian Islands Colony]] with the administrative centre of the colony being in Solo.
 
Estmerish rule in the south collapsed in 1941 when [[Sutikno Harjo]] declared the Socialist Republic of Kabu (RSK), officially beginning the [[Kabu Civil War]]. Much of the south's rural and administrative centres [[Battle of Solo|including the capital]] were seized quickly by the [[Kabuese Section of the Workers' International]] (BKMI) aligned soldiers. The war ended in a {{wpl|Stalemate|stalemate}} between the Southern government and the [[North Kabu|Kabu Republic]] dividing the archipelago in two. The newly formed RSK was isolated from the non-councilist international community and faced severe economic problems owing to it's strict {{wpl|Planned economy|planned economy}} and isolation. The country experienced major political and social upheaval in and began the gradual transition to a [[Dalan Anyar|semi-democratic system]] in 1977. The country's international isolation was ended in 1991 when the southern government was admitted to the [[Community of Nations]]. Since then South Kabu has experienced a period of considerable economic growth. Since 2020 the country has [[Dalan Dewanis|begun to adopt]] a fully-[[Council republic|councilist]] system of government.


Today, South Kabu is seen as a developing country with a high HDI and low income inequality due to the Socialist economic system in the country which has been in place since the Kabu civil war. South Kabu has a fast growing economy although development has slowed slightly in recent years. South Kabu faces severe problems with {{wpl|Poverty}}, {{wpl|Corruption}} and ethnic tensions between the Kabuese Majority and the various minorities in the country. South Kabu is a member of the [[Association for International Socialism]]; the [[Brown Sea Community]]; the country has also established Diplomatic relations with numerous countries.

The beginning of the Estmerish withdrawal from [[Southeast Coius|southeast Coius]] announced in 1936 spurred talks to grant independence to the [[Colony of the Carolinian Islands|Carolinian Islands]] which were fuelled by growing dissident activity from the newly formed [[All-Kabu Anti-Imperialist People's Front]] (FRAIKK). Whilst the announcement originally only applied to the former Gaullican colonies in the area, the rise in separatist activity combined with severely weakened Estmerish authority as a result of its occupation by Gaullica during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] meant reconsolidating the pre-war order was impossible to complete without a surge in resources including soldiers and money to the area.

===South Kabu and Negara Darurat===
[[File:Cholon after Tet Offensive operations 1968.jpg|thumb|right|Several majority Masiorese villages were destroyed by divisions of the South Kabuese armed forces killing dozens.]]
The Kabu War was devastating to South Kabu. X% of the entire South Kabuese population died in the war and Ayukarta was devastated by initial fighting and subsequent skirmishes and sabotage attempts. Sutikno Harjo was subsequently elected as President of the Socialist Republic of Kabu in 1948 and was influential in writing the country's constitution which claimed to be the constitution of the entire Kabuese Archipelago. In 1952, Sutikno Harjo formalised South Kabu's claims on Nouvel Anglet and Kingsport.
 
In 1958, [[Masioran league for Democracy|Masioran separatists]] launched a series of attacks against government with covert aid from North Kabu. The [[1958 South Kabuese bombings|attacks]] led to the deaths of several high ranking officials including the Premier. In response to this the province of [[Masiora]] was placed under martial law and a crackdown on civil liberties began in the area. The South Kabuese government was accused of ethnic cleansing by Masioran activists and members of the international community after forcefully expelling Masiorans and destroying several Masioran villages.


Further crackdowns on Masiorans began in 1969 after the murder of a civil servant in [[Kutha Harjo]]. The resulting crackdown resulted in the deaths of over 1000 Masiorans within two weeks, the mass campaign of arrests and executions was ended after condemnation from the international community. The crackdowns did little to quell the violence in Masiora and support for the Masioran league for Democracy (LMKD) grew at a rapid pace. The LMKD was banned in 1970 and it's leaders either went into exile or were arrested and executed.
In November 1937 the decision to include the Carolinian Islands in the original announcement was taken and negotiations between FRAIKK representatives and Estmere began in [[Solo]] on 17 February 1938. Initial talks were led by FRAIKK co-leaders [[Purnama Sutoro]] and [[Sutikno Harjo]] as well as Estmerish representative [[X]], meetings between the three were described as 'tense' by [[The Standard]] as Estmerish intelligence believed Sutikno was taking instructions from the newly established Valduvian diplomatic presence in Solo. By early 1940 negotiations had concluded and elections were scheduled for the [[State of Kabu|Senate of Kabu]] which were held in [[1940 Kabuese general election|August]] and resulted in a massive victory for both FRAIKK parties who won nearly every contestable seat. Both the BKMI and LNI won 48 seats each out of the 100 seats in the chamber and were forced to form a {{wpl|grand coalition}} to pass legislation. In September, the Senate elected Purnama Sutoro to be Prime Minister and Sutikno Harjo to be Deputy-Prime Minister in a cabinet split equally between the BKMI and LNI. The rushed political arrangement proved to be unstable as BKMI ministers accused their LNI colleagues of disrespecting their positions and being obstructive towards BKMI legislation whilst the LNI accused the BKMI of introducing forced collectivisation policies in their southern strongholds. On 1 October 1940 the government had fallen apart and all BKMI ministers resigned en-masse from the cabinet citing conflicts with the LNI. The LNI in response arranged to form a government with several smaller moderate parties as Estmere began to delegate more powers to the Kabuese government. On 25 January 1941 Sutikno Harjo declared the creation of the Socialist Republic of Kabu which sparked the [[Kabu Civil War]] and the end of total Estmerish rule on the archipelago.
[[File:ARVN Rangers defend Saigon, Tet Offensive.jpg|260px|thumb|left|ABRK soldiers defending Ayukarta during the attempted coup d'état]]


In 1984, a Masioran student shot and [[Assassination of Sutikno Harjo|killed Sutikno Harjo]]. The student was detained shortly afterwards trying to flee Ayukarta and was executed without a trial. Sutikno Harjo's assassination caused a period of political chaos within South Kabu. In 1986 an [[1986 South Kabuese coup d'état attempt|attempted coup]] left 132 dead and resulted in widespread purges of the armed forces and specifically the navy. As a result of the attempted coup d'état and the assassination of Sutikno Harjo a [[Negara Darurat|state of emergency]] was declared. Freedom of speech and expression were suspended indefinitely and thousands were arrested after a spy-ring was uncovered within the Foreign Affairs department.
The BKMI aligned paramilitary force, the [[National Liberation Front of Kabu]] (FPNK), quickly took control of much of the rural south whilst the Estmere-backed [[North Kabu|Kabuese Republic]] remained in control of much of the north and most urban areas including the two largest cities in Kabu, Solo and [[Magelang]]. Initial hopes for a peaceful resolution to the crisis were dashed after the FPNK's [[Kumahi Campaign]] in 1941 which saw the councilist paramilitaries defeat the Kabuese Republic's armed forces on [[Pasareyan]] and the Republic's evacuation from the island by August 1941. Further advances by the FPNK put pressure on Republican forces although were unable to make any major advances in part due to outside interference to support the Kabuese Republic which continued to maintain control of most of the archipelago. The Kumahi Campaign triggered a mass exodus of [[Demographics of South Kabu|Estmerish-Kabuese]] from the archipelago and towards [[Kingsport]], the ensuing [[1941 Kabuese crisis|refugee crisis]] saw upwards of 80,000 white and mixed Kabuese as well as native and Estmerish land-owners, industrialists and many civil servants who had served under Estmerish rule be evacuated from the main archipelago. The success of the Kumahi Campaign as well as the refugee crisis saw a surge in Estmerish military forces into Kabu which had previously been limited to small-scale ground forces and air activity.
[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-57000-0163, Berlin, V. SED-Parteitag, 2.Tag.jpg|thumb|left|Kabuese delegates sign the Treaty of CITY on 14 March 1947]]


As a result of the mass arrests and crackdown on civil liberties, militant members of the LMKD and anti-BKMI groups formed an alliance and started launching [[Insurgency in South Kabu|attacks against the government]]. As of 2020 the insurgency has cost the lives of over 12,000 people.
In December 1942 the FPNK forces launched their [[Solo Offensive|Battle of Solo]] against the Kabuese Republic's then capital which saw the city itself fall on 31 December 1942 and the Estmerish backed Republic retreat to Magelang. The military defeat at Solo was a significant victory for the rebels who now controlled the largest city and former capital of Kabu, the city's fall also sparked horror amongst the Kabuese diaspora and anti-communists who saw its fall as a mark of shame although the [[Jamlok Islands]] off the coast of Solo continued to have a heavy Estmerish military presence until the Treaty of CITY. Brutal fighting continued on [[Walantaka]] and smaller surrounding islands for several years with much of the south's infrastructure being destroyed by Estmerish air raids, Solo experienced [[Solo Raids|heavy bombing]] following its fall to the councilists who established a new Provisional Government in Solo in 1943 which claimed authority over the entire archipelago including Kingsport and [[Nouvel Anglet]]. In 1944 the FPNK launched the [[Masiora Offensive]] which saw FPNK forces take control of most of Walantaka within a few months as well as securing the FPNK's position in western [[Sakalor Islands|Sakalor]]. The Estmerish Army officially withdrew from Walantaka shortly afterwards although maintained a a local garrison in Jamlok to oversee evacuations, the islands themselves were withdrawn from in 1946.  


In 2017 the South Kabuese government began to liberalise and certain parts of the Negara Darurat were ended. President [[Tirto Sutikno]] vowed to end the Negara Darurat in 2021 but was met with opposition from hardline factions among the BKMI. A planned referendum on ending the Negara Darurat was blocked by Premier [[Susilo Dwi]] who accused the President of listening to counter-revolutionaries in the government. The disagreements between Tirto and Susilo led to the [[2021 South Kabuese coup d'état]] in which Susilo was killed and Tirto assumed emergency powers
The Provisional Government in the South, the Kabuese government now in the North and Estmere signed the Treaty of CITY on 14 March 1947 to end fighting on the archipelago as well as maintaining an Estmerish position in Kingsport. South Kabu agreed to release Estmerish POWs after the signing of the Treaty in exchange for X, many POWs claimed to have been malnourished and treated badly by the Socialist authorities and there were reports of executions of POWs who did not work in 'Democratic Enemy Labour Committees' (KBMD/DELCs). Very few Northern POWs were returned to North Kabu following the Treaty with South Kabu claiming that the remainder had chose to begin a new life in the South.

South Kabu is a {{wpl|Unitary state|Unitary}} {{wpl|Non-partisan democracy|non-partisan}} {{wpl|Socialism|socialist}} {{wpl|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential}} {{wpl|republic}}. Prior to 2022 the [[Kabuese Section of the Workers' International]] (BKMI) is the sole legal party in South Kabu. The BKMI was the dominant and governing party of South Kabu since the end of the Kabu civil war. Since 1985, South Kabu has liberalised some aspects of it's government however the party retains it's grasp on South Kabuese political society. As of 2020, close to 15% of eligible voters in South Kabu are registered members of the party. Since 2022 the party has not ran candidates in the Congress of Kabu and has effectively ceased being a political party in favour of being a political organisation in South Kabu.

The vast majority of schools in South Kabu are state ran schools with the [[Cabinet of South Kabu|Ministry of Education and Youth Development]] being responsible for establishing the national curriculum. Primary and secondary education in state-ran schools is divided into four sets, the first three of which are mandatory: preschool, primary school, basic secondary education and higher secondary education. All primary and secondary education in South Kabu up to the age of 15 is subsidised by the government and approximately 92% South Kabuese adults have achieved a secondary diploma. South Kabu has a literacy rate of 93.9% for all adults although men on average have a higher literacy rate than women by a few percentage points according to the most recent census.

Since the establishment of the South Kabuese government, the state has made significant progress in developing the education system in the South which historically was conducted by religious schools and [[Sotirianity|Sotirian missionaries]]. Education infrastructure and expertise was lacking as many educated Kabuese emigrated during the initial years of the southern government and formed a major part of the [[Kabuese diaspora]] and many buildings particularly in rural areas and [[Solo]] were damaged as a result of the [[Kabu Civil War]]. In the 1990s the government began a major effort to revitalise the education system in South Kabu which was comparably lacking compared to other countries in the region and began an effort to encourage more people to enrol in Universities by making access easier, as of 2015 approximately 41% of South Kabuese adults held a tertiary degree of some kind although this was disproportionally biased in favour of urban people rather than rural people who still face challenges accessing education due to a lack of infrastructure in some areas.
 
In 2022, South Kabu spent 11.5% of it's total annual GDP on education which was the highest in the region as part of a national plan to develop education access in rural areas.

South Kabu (Kabuese: Kabupik Kidul), officially the Socialist Republic of Kabu (Kabuese: Republik Sosialis Wong Kabupik) also known as the RSK, is a country in Southeast Coius constituting the southern part of the Kabuese Archipelago. The country shares a maritime border with North Kabu across the strait of TBD. South Kabu claims the entire territory of the Kabuese archipelago and claims to be the sole legitimate representative of the archipelago internationally. It has an area of 44,154km2 (17,048 sq mi) and a population of 7,841,984. The capital city of South Kabu is Solo which is also the largest city in the Kabuese archipelago.

The southern portions of the Kabuese Archipelago have experienced continuous human inhabitation since approximately 432CE according to existing records and archaeological evidence of rice farming and human civilisation on Gedhe. During the 9th century the Kingdom of Agunglintang was influential in spreading Badist beliefs across the south of the archipelago through trade with Dezevau. The archipelago was unified under several kingdoms at various points in it's history although was finally conquered by the Aguda Empire in 1558 who centralised power in the newly created city of Vinhumavizia. The islands became particularly important to the global spice trade and were an important trading hub in the Brown Sea. The islands were eventually sold to the Kingdom of Estmere after the purchase of Pulau Hujung in 1778 and were consolidated into the Carolinian Islands Colony with the administrative centre of the colony being in Solo.

Estmerish rule in the south collapsed in 1941 when Sutikno Harjo declared the Socialist Republic of Kabu (RSK), officially beginning the Kabu Civil War. Much of the south's rural and administrative centres including the capital were seized quickly by the Kabuese Section of the Workers' International (BKMI) aligned soldiers. The war ended in a stalemate between the Southern government and the Kabu Republic dividing the archipelago in two. The newly formed RSK was isolated from the non-councilist international community and faced severe economic problems owing to it's strict planned economy and isolation. The country experienced major political and social upheaval in and began the gradual transition to a semi-democratic system in 1977. The country's international isolation was ended in 1991 when the southern government was admitted to the Community of Nations. Since then South Kabu has experienced a period of considerable economic growth. Since 2020 the country has begun to adopt a fully-councilist system of government.

Today, South Kabu is seen as a developing country with a high HDI and low income inequality due to the Socialist economic system in the country which has been in place since the Kabu civil war. South Kabu has a fast growing economy although development has slowed slightly in recent years. South Kabu faces severe problems with Poverty, Corruption and ethnic tensions between the Kabuese Majority and the various minorities in the country. South Kabu is a member of the Association for International Socialism; the Brown Sea Community; the country has also established Diplomatic relations with numerous countries.

Kabu civil war

The beginning of the Estmerish withdrawal from southeast Coius announced in 1936 spurred talks to grant independence to the Carolinian Islands which were fuelled by growing dissident activity from the newly formed All-Kabu Anti-Imperialist People's Front (FRAIKK). Whilst the announcement originally only applied to the former Gaullican colonies in the area, the rise in separatist activity combined with severely weakened Estmerish authority as a result of its occupation by Gaullica during the Great War meant reconsolidating the pre-war order was impossible to complete without a surge in resources including soldiers and money to the area.

In November 1937 the decision to include the Carolinian Islands in the original announcement was taken and negotiations between FRAIKK representatives and Estmere began in Solo on 17 February 1938. Initial talks were led by FRAIKK co-leaders Purnama Sutoro and Sutikno Harjo as well as Estmerish representative X, meetings between the three were described as 'tense' by The Standard as Estmerish intelligence believed Sutikno was taking instructions from the newly established Valduvian diplomatic presence in Solo. By early 1940 negotiations had concluded and elections were scheduled for the Senate of Kabu which were held in August and resulted in a massive victory for both FRAIKK parties who won nearly every contestable seat. Both the BKMI and LNI won 48 seats each out of the 100 seats in the chamber and were forced to form a grand coalition to pass legislation. In September, the Senate elected Purnama Sutoro to be Prime Minister and Sutikno Harjo to be Deputy-Prime Minister in a cabinet split equally between the BKMI and LNI. The rushed political arrangement proved to be unstable as BKMI ministers accused their LNI colleagues of disrespecting their positions and being obstructive towards BKMI legislation whilst the LNI accused the BKMI of introducing forced collectivisation policies in their southern strongholds. On 1 October 1940 the government had fallen apart and all BKMI ministers resigned en-masse from the cabinet citing conflicts with the LNI. The LNI in response arranged to form a government with several smaller moderate parties as Estmere began to delegate more powers to the Kabuese government. On 25 January 1941 Sutikno Harjo declared the creation of the Socialist Republic of Kabu which sparked the Kabu Civil War and the end of total Estmerish rule on the archipelago.

The BKMI aligned paramilitary force, the National Liberation Front of Kabu (FPNK), quickly took control of much of the rural south whilst the Estmere-backed Kabuese Republic remained in control of much of the north and most urban areas including the two largest cities in Kabu, Solo and Magelang. Initial hopes for a peaceful resolution to the crisis were dashed after the FPNK's Kumahi Campaign in 1941 which saw the councilist paramilitaries defeat the Kabuese Republic's armed forces on Pasareyan and the Republic's evacuation from the island by August 1941. Further advances by the FPNK put pressure on Republican forces although were unable to make any major advances in part due to outside interference to support the Kabuese Republic which continued to maintain control of most of the archipelago. The Kumahi Campaign triggered a mass exodus of Estmerish-Kabuese from the archipelago and towards Kingsport, the ensuing refugee crisis saw upwards of 80,000 white and mixed Kabuese as well as native and Estmerish land-owners, industrialists and many civil servants who had served under Estmerish rule be evacuated from the main archipelago. The success of the Kumahi Campaign as well as the refugee crisis saw a surge in Estmerish military forces into Kabu which had previously been limited to small-scale ground forces and air activity.

Kabuese delegates sign the Treaty of CITY on 14 March 1947

In December 1942 the FPNK forces launched their Battle of Solo against the Kabuese Republic's then capital which saw the city itself fall on 31 December 1942 and the Estmerish backed Republic retreat to Magelang. The military defeat at Solo was a significant victory for the rebels who now controlled the largest city and former capital of Kabu, the city's fall also sparked horror amongst the Kabuese diaspora and anti-communists who saw its fall as a mark of shame although the Jamlok Islands off the coast of Solo continued to have a heavy Estmerish military presence until the Treaty of CITY. Brutal fighting continued on Walantaka and smaller surrounding islands for several years with much of the south's infrastructure being destroyed by Estmerish air raids, Solo experienced heavy bombing following its fall to the councilists who established a new Provisional Government in Solo in 1943 which claimed authority over the entire archipelago including Kingsport and Nouvel Anglet. In 1944 the FPNK launched the Masiora Offensive which saw FPNK forces take control of most of Walantaka within a few months as well as securing the FPNK's position in western Sakalor. The Estmerish Army officially withdrew from Walantaka shortly afterwards although maintained a a local garrison in Jamlok to oversee evacuations, the islands themselves were withdrawn from in 1946.

The Provisional Government in the South, the Kabuese government now in the North and Estmere signed the Treaty of CITY on 14 March 1947 to end fighting on the archipelago as well as maintaining an Estmerish position in Kingsport. South Kabu agreed to release Estmerish POWs after the signing of the Treaty in exchange for X, many POWs claimed to have been malnourished and treated badly by the Socialist authorities and there were reports of executions of POWs who did not work in 'Democratic Enemy Labour Committees' (KBMD/DELCs). Very few Northern POWs were returned to North Kabu following the Treaty with South Kabu claiming that the remainder had chose to begin a new life in the South.

Human rights

Eko Slamet was arrested, tortured and murdered in 2004 after speaking out against the government

According to a CN report published in 2013 says "Human rights in the Socialist Republic of Kabu are poor compared to it's counterparts in the Brown Sea area. There are reports confirmed by investigators of torture, kidnapping, forced disappearances and politically motivated murders that were conducted between 1950 and largely subsided in 1994. Despite this human rights abuses particularly in Masiora and in areas affected by the ongoing insurgency are extremely poor and reports of war crimes conducted by fighters in the area have been investigated." It is estimated that over 8,000 people were abducted and killed by security services between 1962 and 1993. In 2004, activist Eko Slamet was abducted at Solo Airport before being tortured for several days and then murdered before his body was found off the coast of Solo. South Kabu officially denies any state involvement in the death of Eko Slamet and blamed the murder on organised criminals.

Serious allegations of war crimes in Masiora and north-eastern Walantaka were confirmed by the CN in 2018 including rape, mass murder and the usage of child soldiers by anti-government militias and the Kabuese People's Armed Forces. On 17 October 2021 the CN released a report that "expressed serious concern at the rapidly declining human rights situation in Masiora which is being blockaded by government forces." A CN expert also warned of a devastating famine orchestrated by the South Kabuese government to starve the militias was likely if the international community did not act within months.

Education

Solo New State University is the highest ranked university in South Kabu

The vast majority of schools in South Kabu are state ran schools with the Ministry of Education and Youth Development being responsible for establishing the national curriculum. Primary and secondary education in state-ran schools is divided into four sets, the first three of which are mandatory: preschool, primary school, basic secondary education and higher secondary education. All primary and secondary education in South Kabu up to the age of 15 is subsidised by the government and approximately 92% South Kabuese adults have achieved a secondary diploma. South Kabu has a literacy rate of 93.9% for all adults although men on average have a higher literacy rate than women by a few percentage points according to the most recent census.

Since the establishment of the South Kabuese government, the state has made significant progress in developing the education system in the South which historically was conducted by religious schools and Sotirian missionaries. Education infrastructure and expertise was lacking as many educated Kabuese emigrated during the initial years of the southern government and formed a major part of the Kabuese diaspora and many buildings particularly in rural areas and Solo were damaged as a result of the Kabu Civil War. In the 1990s the government began a major effort to revitalise the education system in South Kabu which was comparably lacking compared to other countries in the region and began an effort to encourage more people to enrol in Universities by making access easier, as of 2015 approximately 41% of South Kabuese adults held a tertiary degree of some kind although this was disproportionally biased in favour of urban people rather than rural people who still face challenges accessing education due to a lack of infrastructure in some areas.

In 2022, South Kabu spent 11.5% of it's total annual GDP on education which was the highest in the region as part of a national plan to develop education access in rural areas.
