Santa Magdalena Civil War

The Santa Magdalena Civil War (: Guerra Civil de Santa Magdalena) is an ongoing multi-sided civil war being fought in Santa Magdalena fought between the government forces of President Maximiliano Torrero with extensive North-South Concordant backing and various other domestic factions with foreign backing.

The unrest began in July 2005 as protests calling for an end for the Agranan minority government were violently suppressed by the government which eventually escalated into an armed conflict. The war is currently being fought by several factions that include the Santa Magdalen government, an alliance of socialist and leftist groups in northern Magdalena called the Autonomous Federation of Northern Magdalena, and the predominantly Zakatra Magdalen Reunification Front which has been widely described as.

A number of foreign countries including Arbenz, Cervera, Tiperyn, Baileneu Ma, Zahava, Helinika, and Agrana y Griegro have either directly involved themselves in the conflict or provided support to one or another faction. Arbenz, Cervera, and Baileneu Ma have supported the Autonomous Federation of Northern Magdalena and have sent troops to directly support and train the socialist forces. Tiperyn, Helinika, and Agrana y Griegro operate under the banner of an NSC coalition to stabilize and support the Santa Magdalen government and have conducted airstrikes and ground operations in defense of it. Zahava has supported the Magdalen Reunification Front via the insertion of Special Forces and military aid.

Arbenz
Arbenz has supported the Autonomous Federation of Northern Magdalena since 2006, especially the Revolutionary People's Units but it has not limited either aid or support to only the Revolutionary People's Units. In 2016, an incident occurred in which a Santa Magdalen attack helicopter killed 6 Magdalen Tiyaxa. Arbenz labeled the attack a targeted killing and a war crime. A week later, a resolution passed within its ruling body, the People's Union Congress to send forces of the Revolutionary Armed Forces to the Santa Magdalena-Baileneu Ma border, officially to keep supply lines open carrying critical humanitarian and military aid to the Autonomous Federation.

Arbenz has been accused by the Santa Magdalen government of violating its sovereign territory and using trained FAR troops posed as Autonomous Federation rebels to train and support the Autonomous Federation in combat. These accusations have been denied by Arbenz

Baileneu Ma
Baileneu Ma has been providing humanitarian aid and medical equipment to the Federation of Northern Magdalena, as well as other rebel groups, since 2006. It has also been taken in large amounts of migrants since the unrest, greanting full or temporary citizenship to families in the Federation of Northern Magdalena. In 2010, following small clashes along the Bailenese-Madgdalen border between government and rebel forces, which involved the killing of 21 Bailenese aid workers and 9 Magdalen citizens (that had been granted Bailenese citizenship), Baileneu Ma announced that it would be deploying soldiers to the Federation of Northern Magdalena for peacekeeping purposes. This led to outcry from several NSC nations, arguing that the positioning of soldiers in San Magdalena was a hostile move that violated the sovereignty of the nation. Baileneu Ma has also been accused of using intelligence and special forces groups to train and recruit guerillas for the Federation of Northern Magdalena, which the Bailenese government denies.

Tuatluxem
Tuatluxem is believed to have been involved in Santa Magdalena prior to the 2005 protests, providing training and material support to a number of ethnonationalist groups, largely by transporting nationalist fighters to classified training facilities within Tuatluxem before returning them to Santa Magdalena upon training completion where they would carry out attacks against the Santa Magdalenan government, or otherwise agitate the native population as a whole.

As open hostilities broke out in 2005 Tuatluxem significantly increased its aid to nationalist groups providing more advanced weaponry, supplies, and medical equipment. Tuatluxem additionally has deployed special operations forces to establish training facilities locally in Santa Magdalena and provides intelligence to nationalist forces. Namely Tuatluxem provides information on government aircraft or troop movements and estimated targets, these advanced warnings allow nationalist forces to redeploy troops and assets to avoid being destroyed by government air strikes or raids.

The Tuatluxem government denies any military involvement in Santa Magdalena and states it is only interested in humanitarian aid and establishing peace talks to end the conflict.
