The Rusana Revolutionary Military Command that was supposed to take charge of the nation was a body that quickly became riven with factionalism and regionalism, all worsened by egocentric and paranoid officers like Javad Spabod and Farrukhzad Khosa, who maintained a bitter rivalry for control of the body. In seeking to gain an edge, these men divided the army units according to region of origin. The situation was so tense that General Spabod ordered all units from Lakdu to leave the capital, which led to a standoff that was only resolved through the intervention of the capital's chief imam. To bolster their positions, the generals began courting organizations they had previously suppressed or ignored such as various hardline islamist currents and minority political parties. | The Rusana Revolutionary Military Command that was supposed to take charge of the nation was a body that quickly became riven with factionalism and regionalism, all worsened by egocentric and paranoid officers like Javad Spabod and Farrukhzad Khosa, who maintained a bitter rivalry for control of the body.

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. | |||
