The Doubeinese Civil Conflict is an armed conflict and insurgency that has taken place since 717. It is being fought between the Free Army of West Doubeia (FAWD) and the Doubeinese Armed Forces (DAF), the former of which are fighting to gain self-determination and eventual independence from Doubeia.
Background and Protests
During the ratification of the Doubeinese Constitution, it was agreed that West Doubeia would be granted autonomy from Doubeia within ten years of independence.
During the early years of independence, there was discontent amongst the West Doubeinese towards the central government's alleged favouritism towards East Doubeia. Cultural differences between East and West Doubeia also contributed to several fights and assaults within Doubeia across the early 710s. At the same time, autonomy sentiments were growing, and there was much dissatisfaction with the Doubeinese government's inaction on the autonomy agreement.
Autonomy talks between the central Doubeinese government and West Doubeinese representatives and members of the WDOD commenced in early 716. However, the talks came to an impasse as neither side could agree on the terms of autonomy, and West Doubeinese autonomy was indefinitely postponed. It was reported that the main topic of disagreement centred around the Queen Lawrencia Territories; both Doubeia and West Doubeia wanted full control of the territories without any exception. In response to the delay of the autonomy talks, many West Doubeinese politicians resigned, triggering a snap General Election one year before the next scheduled General Election in 717.
On 14 July 716, pro-autonomy supporters launched a protest in Port Pomeranian, West Doubeia's largest city. The protest was quickly quelled, but it inspired pro-autonomy protests in other major West Doubeinese cities. Despite being met with brute force, more protests that grew increasingly violent sprung up across pro-autonomy states in West Doubeia, and a state of emergency was temporarily declared in several states. In response, anti-autonomy protests sprung up across the rest of Doubeia, some of which were marked with controversy due to their alleged endorsements by certain politicians.
On 5 October 716, a particularly brutal popular uprising in Port Pomeranian was quelled, but not without resulting in the deaths of more than thirty police officers and special forces. The Uprising in the Port caused the prime minister, Galilea Korotkaya, to declare martial law in several West Doubeinese states. The DCA would soon splinter as pro-autonomy politicians, primarily from West Doubeia, left to form the Liberation for the West (LW) party, whilst several GN and other right-wing politicians soon followed suit. The UDF, whilst remaining as one party, was internally divided into pro- and anti-autonomy camps. Martial law was lifted in a week's time, but many Doubeinese Armed Forces units remained in West Doubeia much to the chagrin of the residents.
During the course of Doubeia's independence, the FAWD, a West Doubeinese separatist militia, had been secretly strengthening in number and weaponry. The FAWD had received most of its funding from West Doubeinese businessmen and politicians supporting their cause. The FAWD was alleged to have taken part in ilicit activities and collaborations with criminal organisations operating in West Doubeia to finance their operations although the FAWD has repeatedly declined these claims. These funds mostly went to the purchase of military weapons, as well as supplies.
The states of Karnerkarnen, Ruggland, Montagne, Ginnagne, and Black Swan declared their independence from Doubeia to form the West Doubeinese Union on December 7 717, a week before Doubeia's eighth independence anniversary. Days later on Independence Day, The Mossland, Elfwynne, and Advincio also announced their sessession from Doubeia and their subsumation into the West Doubeinese Union. The Doubeinese government quickly decried the declaration of independence as unconstitutional and claimed that West Doubeia was still rightful Doubeinese territory.
The Doubeinese Armed Forces (DAF) was soon mobilised, with tens of thousands of troops being transported to West Doubeia to regain control of the region. Many Doubeinese Armed Forces (DAF) soldiers would mutiny or default to the West Doubeinese Union, weakening Doubeia's position in the civil war.
War (717-present)
717
The start of the Doubeinese Civil Conflict was marked by the Bella Hills Attack, when members of the FAWD attacked a naval ship off the shore of carrying goods and supplies to troops stationed in the area. Whilst no one was killed, a DAF naval officer was wounded, and Premier Korotkaya declared the attack an act of war. Martial law was imposed in Doubeia, and the DAF began to occupy major urban centres in West Doubeia.
Doubeia received international support, with many nations recognising West Doubeia as Doubeinese territory. The DAF also received military aid and supplies, including UAVs, battleships and weapons, whilst forming partnership with the armed forces of Kanzlia and Crpostran. West Doubeia, meanwhile, received little international backing as most did not recognise its claim to independence. Nevertheless, there were claims of the FAWD secretly receiving support in terms of troops and materials from nations such as Oberour Ar Moro and groups such as the Tukarist Liberation Front.
