View source for Kayabi Conflict

The '''Kayabi Conflict''' is an ongoing geopolitical and religious tension between [[Khobeh]] and the [[Tarwah Union]] along with their protectorates and allies, respectively the East Faction and the West Faction. The conflict sprouted from an initial power struggle between the two nations following the economic boom in the Tarwah Union as a result of the [[Seunggun Coal Trade|Seunggun coal trade]]. The tension between Khobeh, the Tarwah Union, and their respective allies has manifested in the form of expansionist campaigns, proxy wars, and espionage operations. The conflict has also led to a religious conflict between the predominantly [[Aku Kwabolu|Aku Biakor]] adherents of East Faction nations and the [[Kunwidya]] adherents of the West Faction. Culturally, the Kayabi Conflict has given rise to rampant nationalism and xenophobia among the factions' member countries, especially the targeting of diaspora populations as in [[Bomakwodor]]. 

The name ''kayabi'' was originally an [[Nyamu language|Afa Nyamu]] term meaning "quarrel" derived from the [[Dzuma language|Dzuma]] word ''àdùkàyã̀bé'', meaning "to pull at both sides".
