The Insurgencies In Gulbistan is the common name for multiple low intensity conflicts that have existed southern and eastern Gulbistan since the end of the Civil War in 1995. These conflicts include the Abalistan Conflict, Tobadad Conflict, and the Central Gulbistani Insurgency. The conflicts arose due to conflicts with the Mershi Gulbistani Tribal Confederation during the civil war. Today, the AIF has retained the ability to maintain control of the city of Vadihad while the ZPF and PLA have held onto Eshanmandi.
Early Insurgencies
The conflict began during the Gulbistani Civil War, in which Satrian nationlists, backed by Ajahadya and Rajyaghar, formed the Pujasapur Republic, which attempted to use the chaos created by the civil war to gain independence from Gulbistan. These PR would hold the entirity of Tobadad and large parts of Dakpesh. The PR would slowly lose ground after the Reorganization Of The GTC and their establishment as a military force. The PR would remain active until 1995, when it's leader, Aziz Attwal, made a deal with the new Gulbistani Federation to allow for an autonomous Tobadad and Dakpesh. This caused the dissolution of the PR, but many PR commanders rejected Attwal's deal and kept fighting. The commanders of the PLA, the PR's military force, split off and turned the Pujasapur Liberation Army into a large rebel force focused on recapturing Tobadad. The PLA was highly successful in their operation and controlled vast swathes of Tobadad. The Gulbistani Defense Forces struggled to maintain order due to their lack of funding as well as slow government decisions. Many GDF members, mostly the Mershis who lived in Tobadad, would go out on their own military operations against the PLA and would do most of the operations against the PLA until 1998.
In 1997, the PLA leadership was in a divide as Pan-Satrianists and Satrian Nationalists split due to ideological and ethnic differences. The Pan-Satrianists, who were mostly Zubadi, would split off forming the Zubadi People's Front, which was highly backed by Ajahadya. The PLA would retain about half Zubadi and half Sindhi force. The ZPF began small, with most of their operations being small attacks on GDF forces, but in 1999 9 ZPF members would go to Turil in Mershan Marakazi where they attack the Turil Train Station. This attack would kill over 100 Gulbistanis, and lead to massive public outcry against the lack of military support from the government. President Imran Sidiqi would hold an emergency tribal jirga and called upon tribal leaders to fight against the Satrian rebels, and formed the Gulbistani Tribal Forcess, a failed attempt to get southern tribal leaders to fight in a paramilitary force against the ZPF and PLA. Around 1,000 Gulbistanis would enlist in the GTF and they would be disbanded in 2002.
By 1998, Abali Pardarians would be extremely dissatisfied with the new government and Abali Nationalism was on the rise as views of the federation went cold. These were caused by lack of infrastructure and ethnic atrocities committed by the GTF during the civil war. The Abalistan Irfanic Forces would be created by Abdul Sazud, who would launch a large-scale insurgency along the border with Zorasan. Zorasan would be accused of funding the AIF by President Sidiqi due to their rapid rise and swift capture of major cities and towns in Abalistan., which caused sour relations between the two nations that still hold to today.
Two other ethnic rebel forces arose after the civil war. The Togoti Armed Resistance, and the Enzashiri and Asepistani Guards. The TAR was a very small force whose support dwindled as the new Federation put large effort into appeasing Togoti minorities and granted them their own province of Northern Togotstan. The EAG was a larger force of Asepistani, Gurami, Azdudi, Elamshi, and Takhami people. The EAG was quickly targeted due to Enzashir's value to the Gulbistani government. They would reach a peace deal in 1998.
The other major insurgency to arise was Khudamilli, a Irfanic fundementalist group that has been active at different levels throughout Gulbistan's modern history. KM allied with the newly formed Heavenly Army Of Gulbistan after the Civil War and began an operation in Sadania. Khudamilli would remain a small underground organization throughout the 1990s and only rose again in 2008 during Sherzai's War.
