The Rusani Civil War was an internal conflict that took place in the [[Rusana|Islamic Republic of Rusana]] from 1953 to 1965 between two armed coalitions vying for control of the country. The Front for the Defense of the Homeland or FDH was a grouping of conservative and islamist forces which included the officer core of the old Ghanim national army and the Jamaat-e-Islami and Party of God political parties which advocated the imposition of Sharia law and islamism. Notably the Sunni Jamaat and the Shia Party of God put aside their sectarian division aside for most of the war. In opposition to the FDH stood the National Congress for the Defense of the People or NCDP composed of military and tribal elites from regions opposed to the centralization efforts of Javad Spabod, the Unity Party and minority ethnic and religious groups wary of the FDH's islamist program. The civil war went on for a grueling twelve years, devastating the country's economy and creating lasting enmities between its ethnic groups.

The [[Daxia]]ese directly intervened in 1962 and attacked the FDH, fatally weakening it in the final years of the war before the NCDP delivered the final blow. | ||

The FDH drew most of its support from Ghanim, which prior to unification was both the largest and poorest kingdom. The kings of Ghanim had vigorously encouraged the spread of rigid versions of Islam through a system of madrassas. As a result many rural poor were easily swept up by new political parties that pursued islamic government such as Jamaat-e-Islami, a position that General Javad Spabod would lean into in order to broaden his support beyond the army. At Spabod's insistence, many retrograde punishments were instituted such as executions for blasphemy or insulting religion. In an effort to pander to his religious base of support, Spabod and his FDH faction also adopted a discriminatory tone against Rusana's many minority groups such as the Kassar people, ethnic Daxian muslims, Christians and other groups that he tried to marginalize and harass in public discourse. | The FDH drew most of its support from Ghanim, which prior to unification was both the largest and poorest kingdom.

The NCDP forces for its part were largely drawn from the more diverse and wealthier south of the country. Farrukhzad Khosa soon began to make inroads with communities being targeted by the FDH, promising them weapons if they joined up with his forces. Groups as disparate as the Kassar Front, the Christian Defense Party, the communists and Daxian separatists joined the banner of the NCDP to topple Spabod and his group from power.

Groups as disparate as the Kassar Front, the Christian Defense Party, the communists and Daxian separatists joined the banner of the NCDP to topple Spabod and his group from power. Neighbouring [[Daxia]], being wary of irredentist claims made by Spabod also began supporting the NCDP with weaponry and ammunition. | ||
