Meshtikistan Independance Conflict

The Meshtikistan Independance Conflict is a term used to describe the ongoing conflict between the Meshtiki Liberation Forces and the Coburan government about the autonomy two areas of land, commonly reffered to as Meshtikistan,

History
The MLF claimed independence in 4390, during the communist one-party era, but the then government of Cobura did not give much attention to the separatists, while still recognizing Meshtikistan as part of Cobura. Despite several local initiatives to arrange meetings and conferences, both sides have never had official negotiations. Given the region's low income and underdevelopment, the MLF has never had the opportunity to become of economic importance nor create a noticeable military force.

Independance
Due to the Meshtiki people (Amharic Mallans) being a small minority in Cobura, the group has always felt isolated, being situated in the Central Mountains of Cobura. The Meshtiki people, led by the MLF, always fight for their independence and seek to realise their dream of an independant Meshtikistan. Despite their efforts, the region is still not recognised by any Terran nation and still relies highly on Cobura for economic and wealth issues.
