Second Nusafi Republic

The Nusafi Republic, commonly known as the Second Nusafi Republic, was a state that emerged from the Second Nusafi Revolution in the Sultanate of Abumiya. After the Invasion of the Nusafi Republic by the Abouzeidi Kingdom, the Sultanate of Jazara and allied states, the Sultanate of Abumiya was restored to a certain extent.

In reality the Sultanate struggled to exercise effective political control over the country even with the support of the invading armies and "partisans" continue to conduct raids and attacks on Sultanate officials over the next two decades. By the time that foreign forces were withdrawn from the capital in the early 1870s, control over most urban areas had been achieved thanks to brutal repression.

In 1877, the murder of a political leader led to the 16 April uprising and the Second Nusafi Revolution. Over the period of around ten months, the Second Republic was born, the Sultan executed and the Abouzeidi-Nusafi War began. Due to the unwillingness of the Sultanate of Jazara and other former Abouzeidi to intervene, the Nusafi revolutionaries successfully repelled the invasion and inflicted heavy casualties.

Unlike the First Republic, the Second Republic achieved political stability, maintained complete sovereignty of its territory and began a significant period of modernisation and industrialisation of the national economy. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Republic was a major rival to the Abouzeidi Kingdom which struggled to adapt to the changing economic and political environment.

Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the Nusafi Wars, the two rivals entered a period of Tuqarib in which they maintained non-hostile relations despite continued tension. Notably both fought against Greater Arshakia in the First Great War when the country occupied much of Haritan and threatened to enter Saharal.
