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.
Contents
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 1873, Irredentism grew and have been present in both countries politics since then. After the Royal Coup of 1947, 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.
Kwazulu-Ciskeian offensive
Ceasefire agreement
2024 Escalation
On 4 February 2024, the National Union for the Total Independence of Kwazulu Ciskei attacked a majoccan village 5 kilometers away from the I-delta trip, in response, the Majoccan Army sent a convoy to the village the following day, however, the Kwazulu-Ciskeian Armed Forces mistook it for an incoming attack and sent Arlert Ar-70 Fighter-bombers to air strike the convoy to a partial effect, after 6 days of fighting the seperatists retreated from the village.
Border clashes have increased drastically since then, cross-border operations are more frequent once again. However most clashes aren't big enough to be notable, mostly villages were attacked that are at the border, which in result the Majoccan Army have increased their presence at the border to try to push back any insurgence, in which they have been successful. Kwazulu Ciskeian Army denies any involvement with the separatists but they have been massing new equipment every day. Majocco reinstated the Homeland Defence Policy. On 13th of March Majoccan drones discovered a small hidden separatist base outside the I-delta Strip that was unknown to Majoccan intelligence before, on the next day on the 14th Majoccan Forces conducted an attack on the base, which was successful. Guerrilla activity has increased in the aftermath of the attack, particularly in the western part of the country, and compulsory military service in Kwazulu-Ciskei was extended to one year on 17th March.
