=== Republic Of Nyaira (1974-2002) ===
The new president had the staunch support of [[South Hills]] because of his opposition to Communism; South Hills believed that his administration would serve as an effective counter to communist movements in Gondwana. A single-party system was established, and '''Divan Bakkes''' declared himself head of state. He periodically held elections in which he was the only candidate. Although relative peace and stability were achieved, Bakkes government was guilty of severe human rights violations, political repression, a cult of personality and corruption.
By late 1978 Mobutu had successfully neutralized his political opponents and rivals, either through co-opting them into his regime, arresting them, or rendering them otherwise politically impotent. Throughout the late 1980s, Bakke continued to shuffle his governments and cycle officials in and out of the office to maintain control. By the early 1979s, Mobutu was attempting to assert Nyaira as a leading Gondwana nation. He traveled frequently across the continent while the government became more vocal about Gondwana issues, particularly those relating to the Eastern region. Zaire established semi-clientele relationships with several smaller Gondwana states, especially Zawadi, and Hawa.
International aid, most often in the form of loans, enriched Bakkes while he allowed national infrastructure such as roads to deteriorate to as little as one-quarter of what had existed in 1974. Nyaira became a kleptocracy as Mobutu and his associates embezzled government funds.<br />
=== Continental and civil wars (2002–present) ===
By 2002, following the Zawadi Civil War and genocide and the ascension of a Rufi-led government in [[Zawadi]], Zawdia Kemto militia forces fled to eastern Nyaura and used refugee camps as a base for incursions against Zawadia. They allied with the Zawadian Armed Forces to launch a campaign against Nyobian ethnic Rufi in eastern Nyaira.
A coalition of Zawadian and Al-Naied armies invaded Nyaira to overthrow the government of Bakkes, and ultimately to control the mineral resources of Nyaira, launching the First Nyo War. The coalition allied with some opposition figures, becoming the Alliance of Democratic Forces Of Nyo. In 2003 Bakke fled and Alake Schoeman marched into Bahati, named himself president, and reverted the name of the country to the Central Gondwanan Republic of Nyo.
Schoeman later requested that foreign military forces return to their own countries. He had concerns that the Zawadi officers running his army were plotting to give the presidency to a Rufi who would report directly to Zawadian president. Zawadian troops retreated to Zawadia and launched a new Rufi-led rebel military movement called the Congo Democratic forces to fight Schoeman, while Al-Naied instigated the creation of new rebel movement called the Nyobi Liberation forces, led by Nyobian warlord Lateef Van Den Heever. The two rebel movements, along with Zawadian and Al-Naied troops, started the Second Nyo War by attacking the CRN army in 2006. Kuthernburg, Duelland, and Veridian military entered the hostilities on the side of the government.
Schoeman was assassinated in 2009. An election-result dispute between Kian White and Lateef Van Den Heever turned into an all-out battle between their supporters in the streets of Kinshasa. A new election took place in October 2010, which White won, and in January 2011 he was sworn in as President.
=== Nuasda Conflict(2016-Present) ===
'''Ruan Van Dyk''', defected along with troops loyal to him and formed the Nyobian Democratic Front, which began an armed rebellion against the government, starting the Nuasda conflict. They are backed by Zawadi as a way to tackle the Kemto group, Kemto Zawadi Liberation Force. In June 2017, after a deal between the CRN and Zawadi, Zawdian troops entered the CRN and arrested Dyk and were allowed to pursue KZLF militants. The NDLF signed a peace treaty with the government in which it agreed to become a political party and to have its soldiers integrated into the national army in exchange for the release of its imprisoned members.
In the resulting rebellion, NDLF briefly captured the provincial capital of Salehe in May 2018. Neighboring countries, particularly Zawadi, have been accused of arming rebels groups and using them as proxies to gain control of the resource-rich country, an accusation they deny. In May 2018,Kuthernburg authorized the Royal Kuthern Intervention Brigade, the to neutralize armed groups. On September 2018 NDLF declared an end to its insurgency.
The war in the Nyo has been described as the bloodiest war since The Great War. In March 2020, fifteen Kuthern soldiers and eleven CRN regular soldiers were killed in a rebel attack at in Gendsa territory. The rebels were apart of Al-Naied.
