The Rusani Civil War was an internal conflict that took place in the 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.
