The newly abandoned lands formed a number of ethnically based tribal factions that were nominally united under the banners of the Emirate of Apfumhat on the north and the Sultanate of Pursat in the north. These states, surrounded by the [Istroya Oriental colony|Istroya Oriental]] and [[Kandahari-Pukhtun colony|Kandahari-Pukhtun colonies]] were largely cut off from the world, but they, particularly the Sultanate of Pursat, created a network of spies, agitators, and most importantly communicators that would incite and coordinate anti-colonial movements throughout that period. Pursat became a haven for runaway slaves from the [[Kandahari-Pukhtun colony]] and formed an army of these runaways to invade the colony in [[1803]] which exacerbated the existing issues of the colony. | The newly abandoned lands formed a number of ethnically based tribal factions that were nominally united under the banners of the Emirate of Apfumhat on the north and the Sultanate of Pursat in the north.

====Emirati War==== | |||
In [[1868]], a series of passing [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] clippers were attacked by pirates on the [[Bay of Oduniyyad]] and blamed the Emirate of Apfumhat. The [[Navy of Burgundie]]'s Far East Squadron was dispatched to extract reparations but they were refused by the Emir Jafari Al Nasr. The squadron bombarded three port cities and departed. In [[1871]], three more clippers alwere attacked by ships carrying the banner of Apfumhat and the Far East Squadron was once again dispatched. This time they destroyed all of the port infrastructure of the ancient ___ naval station. And landed a company of marines to fill in the harbor. Al Nasr sent a war band to attack the marines and after three nights of fighting, the marines departed to the ships who bombarded the port once more. The Emir's troops suffered heavy losses but they did not have any artillery support and retired. The Squadron disembarked an entire battalion of marines and occupied the port. | |||
