| Despite the success of Kashala's campaigns, his military operations devastated vast swathes of Ilunga. The [[Ilunga People's Organization]], established by insurgents and student organizations loyal to Kalonji Kalala's ideals, emerged as the foremost organized resistance opposing the central government. At the verge of reunifying the country, Kashala was assassinated in 0058 by IPO assassins, suspected to have been [[Oprichniki]] of the Union State. The power vacuum immediately led to a rapid fracturing of his lightning campaign, with his army fracturing among warlords. With a restoration of order failing in Ilunga, the SZMC hired further mercenary forces to guard their mining operations, including the Hummel Group and Centurion Security. | Despite the success of Kashala's campaigns, his military operations devastated vast swathes of Ilunga.

| Amidst the chaos, interior minister [[Iosib Mutombo Ngoy]] assumed control of government. Rather than embark on another devastating campaign, Mutombo worked primarily towards reconstruction endeavors, cooperation with corporate entities, and attending to the swelling crisis of refugees in the capital. Concessions were made to foreign private military forces, effectively granting them authority over their respective jurisdictions—and thus the resources to finance and supply their operations autonomously. The central government was gradually able to recuperate territory with the assistance of mercenary forces, but Mutombo remained hesitant of entering needless conflict with warlord armies to the west and east. | Amidst the chaos, interior minister [[Yosib Mutombo Ngoy]] assumed control of government.

| The desire to drive the Union State-aligned IPO out of western Ilunga led to cooperation between Centurion Security and the Western Army, a CENTGOV-aligned warlord army established by General [[Arrikos Kabasele Kabongo]] after Kashala's assassination. The ensuing Operation Lightning Rod saw the IPO almost entirely driven out of Ilunga, forced to retreat into neighboring Kulembe. Ideological schism within the IPO, particularly regarding its alignment with the Union State and the perceived failure of republicanism in Ilunga, led to the establishment of the [[Ilunga National Movement]], which aimed to restore the throne of Ilunga and install [[Alaksandros XVI Kasongo wa Dibwe]], direct descendant of King Badros VII Ndaye Nyembo. With the backing of the Commonwealth, the INM began cross-border raids into Ilunga by the 0070s. | The desire to drive the Union State-aligned IPO out of western Ilunga led to cooperation between Centurion Security and the Western Army, a CENTGOV-aligned warlord army established by General [[Arrikos Kabasele Kabongo]] after Kashala's assassination.
