The Crabota War (Arabic: حرب كرابوتا, Romanized: ḥar̊bu krạbwtạ, Zulu: Impi yaseCrabota, Xhosa: Imfazwe yaseCrabota) is a low intensity ongoing war that started in 1991 in Northern Majocco / Southern Kwazulu-Ciskei, primarily in the Idelta Strip, it's name is taken from the Crabota pickup trucks, primarily the Crabota Hilux and the Crabota Land Cruiser, which saw extensive use by the Kwazulu-Ciskeian forces to provide mobility to their troops, and as technicals.

In January 1991, Kwazulu-Ciskei launched a full-scale invasion of the Idelta Strip, supported by pro-Kwazulu-Ciskei separatists, later that year, Emperor Mpande announced that he annexes the land in to the domains of the monarchy, however no country has recognised it, with no clear end result the conflict continued. After a ceasefire agreement was reached in 2000, the issue of sovereignty remained unresolved, with no legal peace agreements to be agreed upon, as a result the low-intensity war is still ongoing between Majocco and Kwazulu-Ciskei. Currently the sovereignty of the Idelta strip is recognised as de-jure Majoccan, but it is currently occupied by Kwazulu-Ciskei. With pro-Kwazulu-Ciskei separatists fighting Majocco in the region, the Kwazulu-Ciskei forces have stayed to support their cause.

The war is seen as a War of Ransom by multiple Nationalist and irredentist groups in Kwazulu-Ciskei to reclaim old lost lands but the large muslim population and the general population despise the war as the war effected the country greatly as nationwide poverty, major inflation and decreasing life quality ravage the nation.

Background

Ever since the TBD War between 1858-1862, where Kwazulu-Ciskei lost 1/3rd of its land and access to the Tarqiqini lakes, which caused a great economic depression, after the dual monarchy collapsed in 1865, Irredentism grew and have been present in both countries politics since then. After the Royal Coup of 1938, the two states were unified once again into a dual monarchy. The country took part in a massive reconstruction of its economy and army to reach the levels before the collapse.
