The Agar Civil War, sometimes called the Second Agar Conflict, is an ongoing multi-sided civil war in Agarad that began in 1977 following a succession crisis. The war is usually divided into two general phases: the first phase, lasting from 1977 to 1987, was fought primarily between the Rukhulate government and the Republican Front, a coalition of rebel factions. The second phase began when the 1987 Aliqah Peace Talks were derailed by a bomb attack, after which the moderate Jarader Forces split of from the Republican Front. The second phase has been considerably more devastating than the first, the major factions having become entrenched in their territory. According to World Forum estimates, the war has killed 3.7 million people so far: 1.6 million soldiers across all sides and 2.1 million civilians. Between 20 to 25 million refugees have fled the country since 1977, and up to 100 million people have been internally displaced. The war has been characterized by intense urban fighting, extensive damage to civilian populations, and large amounts of foreign military intervention. It is the largest and bloodiest conflict since the Third World War, and is the longest war in contemporary history.
