The Kel-Elemi Civil War is an ongoing violent conflict in the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic. Following the Seireimeiko, and the death of President Robert Grayson, Sorewa Liberation Uprising forces attacked cities and took control of many major parts of the Kel-Elemi islands.
Background
The Sorewa Liberation Uprising (SLU) was formed on 5-1 9 PC to oppose the government of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic (CKER) with the goal of ending the oppresion of the Sorewa people that the government had supported since the establishment of the CKER and to establish their own state seperate from the CKER. The CKER became aware of the SLU on 1-2 9 PC. President of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic, Robert Grayson ordered a crack down on people advocating for Sorewa rights, inadvertently strengthening the SLU's numbers.
On 28-3 10 PC, the SLU bombed and sunk the ATFS Arakar of the Akarian Trade Fleet. The ship was one of several responsible for shipping zaahr from Kel-Elemi to Tietero. The majority of the companies supplying zaahr to the ATF were either state-owned or owned by Robert Grayson and his political allies providing the government revenue. The bombing triggered riots and political instablity across Kel-Elemi known as the Seireimeiko.
On 6-4 10 PC, Grayson promised to give the Halma Commissariat an undisclosed amount of Kel-Elemi's territory in exchange for intervention.
On 7-4 10 PC, rioters stormed the Bluerock House and killed Robert Grayson. Trent Veersham succeeded him as president. Shortly after Grayson's death, rioters affiliated with the SLU began forming platoons.
Course of conflict
Initial conflict
Upon his ascension to the presidency Trent Veersham declared the Kel-Elemi was now in a state of war and vowed to avenge Grayson's death.
The day after the war's start, Nodakh, a city in northern Corralith Island was largely destroyed by SLU fighters.
The Sorewa Liberation Uprising began the Siege of Yenakapol on 9-4 10 PC.
Foreign intervention
On 10-4 10 PC, the Akarian-Utlian Alliance, with approval from Veersham, established Neerakta Military Base on Keral Island to facilitate their intervention against the SLU. On the same day the Council of Directors of the Confederated Nations of Niueyjar (CODCNN) ordered the 2nd Fleet to Kel-Elemi to support the CKER, which landed at Voyvonami the next day.
On 14-4 10 PC, the Confederated Nations of Niueyjar (CNN), the Akarian-Utlian Alliance and the Joint-Clan Navy established the Kel-Elemi War Coalition to better manage their campaign against the SLU.
The Kel-Elemi War Coalition (KEWC) was founded on 14-4 10 PC to better coordinate the actions of the interventionist parties against the SLU.
The SLU attempted to take Izumisawa 13-7 10 PC.
CNN resort
On 22-11 11 PC, it became publicly known that the CNN forces in Kel-Elemi which were supposed to be trying to capture Corralith Island were instead building a resort on the island's west coast. The leadership of the CNN was not amused by Geilir's conduct and dismissed him from service on 19-6 12 PC and placed a warrant on him for high treason.
On 29-6 12 PC the Confederated Nations of Niueyjar Navy evacuated 94% of the Confederated Nations of Niueyjar Army's forces in Kel-Elemi. Seer Admiral Geilir and the remaining 6% remained in the resort built by the Seer-Admiral. The CODCNN proved unable to come to an agreement on how to move forward and all CNN vessels and personal were barred from landing on Kel-Elemi until a new commander for the 2nd Fleet was selected.
Peace treaty
A peace treaty, drafted by the KEWC and the warring parties was signed on 14-1 14 PC. The treaty established the Provisional Republic of Kel-Elemi, administration of this new entity was divided on Corralith Island and Annemela Island roughly along where the front lines were. Several new coalition monitoring posts were set up throughout the two islands in addition to existing ones to ensure that fighting had ended. The island of Keral is left under coalition control with the last vestiges of CKER administration being removed.
"War crimes"
On 5-7 10 PC The Government of CKER declared that the SLU was commiting a genocide against the Kawakians and Sawaji.
During the war multiple journalists disappeared in the Halma Commissariat occupied portion of Kel-Elemi.
SLU attacks outside of Kel-Elemi
Several members of the SLU were arrested by Tieteran Royal Navy on 10-11 10 PC, after attempting to hijack a warship.
On 15-12 10 PC, the SLU bombed a munitions factory in Siô eee that had been producing munitions for the Akarian-Utlian Alliance. The bombing killed 96 people and triggered saftey concerns across eee. On 20-12 10 PC an agreement was made between Siô eee and Haute eee in which the two countries merged back together and established closed borders and a proper military.
Reactions
On 18-4 10 PC both the Unity Territories and the Farloe District of the Serene Union of Spyron barred their citizens from fighting in the war. The Serene Union itself began accepting Kel-Elemite refugees on 24-4 10 PC.
On 16-10 11 PC, the Yotumic Divisionary Federation proposed a law that would make those on Nongba that support the Sorewa Liberation Uprising official dissidents and proponents of sedition. It was predicted that the law would take 3 years to come into effect despite 93% of the YDF Congress supporting it.
