Phaluhm Muslim Crisis

The **Phaluhm Muslim Crisis** is an ongoing issue between Phaluhm Phoueck and the Islamic Front, a Pro-1970 group which advocates of an Islamic Republic. In 1980, growing religious freedom allowed rebel groups to campaign against the newly liberal government.

The crisis was triggered by the Tohezeck hotel raid in 1980, which saw the killings of 40 commandos who were used for a planned operation to establish Kambular as an Islamic Republic. In response, a university student formed the Islamic Front, a group that opposed the government and wanted Phaluhm to be an Islamic State. Most of the insurgents are hiding in Balulu.

The insurgency has seen a long history of desent, going as far as the British and American era. Since then, the group persisted against Phaluh's government in Dauham Sammar Hazaham.

The casualties are around from 4,000 to 6,000, both civilian and military. Since then, the number of insurgents has lowered because of ongoing peace talks and negotiations between the government and the Islamic Front.

## Origins

The Phaluhm Muslim Crisis erupted when the sultanate fell and Hamalism started in 1980. In June 12th 1980, the Tohezeck Hotel raid occured which saw the killings of 40 commandos who were used for a planned operation to established Kambular as an Islamic Republic. The reason for the killing, is that the government feared that they will leak the Phaluhm Invasion of Kimbactu, and they have no choice but to kill them.

The Phaluhm Army then issued arrest warrants for anyone who had connection to the opperation. The actual death toll is disputed.

The Phaluhm Muslim Crisis is not to be confused with a seperate attack, the 1979 Soldiers of Allah attack which occurred during the revolution as a means to stop revolution and to keep the sultan.

### Kimbactu

The terrorists then attacked Kimbactu, and claiming the island was part of the Islamic Republic. The terrorists then caputured a military base and illegal imigration to Kimbactu started. The Chinese and Phaluhm military who had to attack and kill about 1,000 pirates to regain the islands back.

### Coalition involvement

The involvement of SEDEF coalition troops in 2015 and 2016 marked the start of a new phase in the fighting, with foreign troop presence aimed at greater security. Operation Resolute involves troops from SEDEF nations with the aid from Pintona.
