Maracatibean Conflict

The Maracatibean Conflict also known as Maracatibean Internal Conflict (in : Conflito Interno Maracatibenho / in Kwaba: Mbarakatyba'pupê Marara) is a low-intensity asymmetric armed conflict between  the Maracatibean government,, groups of  and other paramilitary groups. It started in 1956, when the People's Vanguard Army carried out a series of attacks against the facilities of the Raymundo Cunha dictatorial government. Between 1956 and 1960, it was considered a major internal war, but it decreased due to the superiority of the Maracatibean government. In 1986, President Ernesto Nonato's government, first after the redemocratization, signed a peace agreement with People's Vanguard Army, in which its members would be amnestied. Despite provocating several criticisms, the agreement was effective in reducing the deaths caused by the conflict.

The Maracatibean government considers the war to end in 1986, with subsequent fighting being considered a "tributary crisis". In addition to People's Vanguard, the war had the participation of the Itaguaçu Group - an paramilitary organization associated with the Maracatibean mafia - the Popular Liberation Front - an  group - and more recently the Maracatibean Liberation Army  dissidents from the  PVA.
