An estimated three million people have died in the conflict, mostly from hunger and disease, often intentionally provoked by secessionists. Most of the infrastructure of the Yallo provinces was destroyed. To worsen the condition of the Yallo in the immediate post-war period were some measures applied by the Phoenixian federal government to their detriment, such as restrictions on access to current accounts, the eviction from their homes and the demolition of important buildings of great historical and cultural value. The Yallo people in the western regions were discriminated against in public and often private employment and in the early 1970s they became one of the most disadvantaged ethnic groups in the former Bours.

Aftermath / Reconstruction

Reconstruction, helped by the oil money, was swift; however, the old ethnic and religious tensions remained a constant feature of Afragola politics. Accusations were made of Dømin government officials diverting resources meant for reconstruction in the former Bours areas to pocket them.

In 1971 the special commissariat of Afragola was transformed into the provisional government of Dømin, to manage the affairs of the state, waiting for the situation to calm down to call new elections. There have been various incidents of injustice and unfair treatment by the state government. State government was again accused of failing to exploit oil revenues impartially, favoring the development and wealth of the West at the expense of the former Bours regions.

Laws were passed mandating that political parties could not be ethnically based; however, it has been hard to make this work in practice.

Yallos who ran for their lives during the pogroms and war returned to find their positions had been taken over; and when the war was over the government did not feel any need to re-instate them, preferring to regard them as having resigned. This reasoning was also extended to Yallo-owned properties and houses. People from other regions were quick to take over any house owned by an Yallo, especially in the Villoise area.

In May 1971 the state government enacted legislation allowing the demolition of entire neighborhoods and cities to build new shopping centers, residential areas and various types of infrastructure. It is estimated that over 200 residential neighborhoods, 800 shops and over 1300 places of worship or ethnic monuments have been destroyed. Some critics have accused the government of wanting to wipe out the entire Yallo cultural heritage in political retaliation. Many former residents have not even received compensation , when they asked the government for an explanation but were kicked out.

The State Government justified this by terming such properties abandoned and that the measures served to attract funds and investments for reconstruction. This, however, has led to a feeling of an injustice as the Dømin government policies were seen as further economically disabling the Yallos even long after the war.

Further feelings of injustice were caused by Phoenixia changing its currency, so that Bours supplies of pre-war Phoenixian currency were no longer honoured. At the end of the war, only $5,000 PXD was given to any easterner regardless of the amount of money he or she had had in the bank. This was applied irrespective of their banking in pre-war Phoenixian currency or Bours currency. This was seen as a deliberate policy to hold back the Yallo middle class, leaving them with little wealth to expand their business interests.
