Background
The Kaijan League was founded in 2016. Their mission was to free Kaijan from the so-called "Government Operation". They may have started planning the November 20 attacks as soon as 2019. They built a secret airbase in the remote mountains of Kaijan and got a lot of weapons and gear in return for cash. Before the War, their numbers were around 30 by late December 2019, having over 450 fighters and many other contacts.
History
On November 20th, 2020 a new independence group from the ashes of the old one called the Kaijan League did a raid on the Provincetown Hotel they also blew up then captured the Tribal Council and the Ambassador to Slokais from Lareal at Kaijan City International Airport they have also related attacks in Eria and New Liverpool though these may not be conducted by the independence group. Everyone on the Ambassador's team was captured except Dorian Huet, a manhunt began and he was captured. He however revealed that he had been paid by a contact. The Contact was later found trying to escape the country.
A week later, they were given the ransom money and flew their private plane to the mountains. There were silent for a few days as a recon team moved into the area, however from there began their attacks on Kascan Township, within a week 60% of Kascan Township and 20% of Allman Township were under the control of the Kaijan League. However, a raid by special forces captured the leader a few days later, however as revenge an assault on Kascan City was launched. The Battle of Kascan City took place on December 23 and saw heavy losses on both sides and the Kaijan League moved back to outside the town. Both sides then briefly regrouped and by December 27th, John Acura Jr. had arrived to command the force. A series of quick advances lead to the capture of Karonda City on January 4th, which led to the surrender of much of Kaijan League leadership.
=Operation Redemption
On January 18th, 2023, an explosion occurred during a raid by Kaijan Federal Police, 14 officers died and 5 were left injured. This triggered the start of a new operation known as Operation Redemption, and the deployment of the military to "secure important points" around Kaijan. Since the start of the operation, there have been a number of clashes and arrests. However, the operation had been condemned by many in Kaijan including the Muslim Union Party. This Operation deployed 5,500 troops of the 18th and 27th Infantry Divison, they are supported by the Coast Guard and the South Kaijan Federal Police. Every township in Southern Kaijan and Pembang Township in North Kaijan has been declared "areas of increased danger" and therefore police authority had been transferred to the military.
This stage of the conflict had seen a number of small militia groups such as the Khilafat Alkajun (KA). KA is more radical than the Kaijan League supporting the establishment of a Kaijanese caliphate to act as "a refuge state to the world's Muslims". They have primary support in Sarangani Township, capturing the town of Kiabanga for a brief period in May 2023.
