=== The Takistan War (2017–2019) ===
In 2017, open conflict began involving Takistan, referred to as the '''[[Takistan War]]'''. The conflict involved resistance movements within Persian-aligned territories and rival regional factions challenging the authority of Jamaat A61.

Members of [[De Vrienden]] — including [[Angelo Noord]], [[Martin Paap]], [[Imro van Hetten]], [[Lourens Schroeter]], and [[Eef Hoos]] — participated directly in the conflict.

Throughout 2017 and 2018, armed engagements occurred across desert, mountain, and urban environments.

In 2018, Martin Paap sustained a serious gunshot injury during armed confrontations and later recovered.

Angelo Noord combined direct participation with ongoing documentation of events during the conflict period.

In 2019, the war concluded following the signing of a neutrality agreement, marking the end of open hostilities and stabilizing Takistan’s authority structure.
