Coburan regional leaders agree deal to create federal armed forces
9 August 5420
Cobura’s three regional governments have agreed a deal to allow the creation of a federal military. The new agreement is a major departure from the peace agreement that brought an end to the Coburan civil war nine years ago. Under the terms of that agreement, defence was a power reserved to regional governments. The effect of these terms was to institutionalise paramilitaries as the armed forces of the regions they controlled.
The new agreement provides various restrictions on the power of the federal government. The most significant is the requirement that all three regional governments must approve any deployment of the armed forces. The provision ensures the new federal military could never be used against any of the regions. Limitations on the size of the federal armed forces are included too.
The principal reason for the creation of the federal armed forces is the ongoing conflict in eastern Dilganato. The regional armed forces of the Majatran Special District have struggled to deal with a host of Majatran militia groups that refused to abide the terms of the 5411 peace agreement. For several years, the conflict has been a significant drain on the limited resources of the regional government. At the end of last year, the situation worsened when warlord Yasin Bakr launched a successful offensive against government forces.
Without the intervention of the federal armed forces, there is legitimate concern about the collapse of the regional government. Earlier this year, leaders from the two autonomous republics met to discuss the possibility of intervening. The proposal was rejected due to opposition from the government of the Majatran Special District, as well as reservations on the part of military leaders within Nen-Snēou and the Hosian Defence Forces.
