Çom Litai Liberation Army

The Çom Litai Liberation Army (Çom Litai: Çem Liktai vo hai Tukoi Mayoi, abbreviated CLLA), officially known as the Çom Litai Liberation Army for Free and Democratic Litai (Çom Litai: Çem Liktai vo hai Tukoi Mayoi duntay Qiet xu Tuq, abbreviated CLTMQT) is a Çom Litai secular and nationalist militant organization. Founded by Artwalukuy Bas in 1942, the organization has described itself as "an organization for the creation of secular and democratic Litai for the Çom Litai people".

Though originally, the organization actively fought in an active war against Ke-Atsung, at the start of the 1950s it has largely transformed into a political organization, which has essentially become the sole representative body of the Çom Litai in Ke-Atsung, with clashes between troops of both Ke-Atsung and the CLLA being less common than in 1942.

Background
As the Great War ended, and Ke-Atsung found itself in institutional ruin, the police in the majority Çom Litai areas were made up of Atsun volunteer units, who were frequently described as corrupt, nationalistic and they were accused of targeting the Çom Litai minority where they operated, including arbitrary arrests, torture and forced confessions, though the local chief of operations fervently denied these accusations as "separatist propaganda".

The Çom Litai people served in the army of Ke-Atsung throughout the war, and as it ended and many found themselves de-mobilized and unemployed. Facing discrimination, they formed local vigilante groups and armed themselves with anything they could find, which includes old revolvers, spades, spears, stones, and more.

Creation
The Çom Litai Liberation Army was founded in 1942 when it released its manifesto, proclaiming the creation of Litai, the organization's ideological outlook, and declared their struggle for independence. They would ultimately, however, be inactive for approximately 3 weeks before they were finally noticed by the state when they attacked an Atsun Revolutionary Army convoy near the town of Thkaw Vson in northwestern Ke-Atsung.

Insurgency
Çom Litai Liberation Army has been fighting in an insurgency against Ke-Atsung ever since the organization's founding in 1942. It has at first frequently attacked government convoys, occupied towns, and even attempted to occupy the Atsun-majority city of Henarup. The CLLA would be able to hold on to its territories in northwestern towns in Ke-Atsung, but would ultimately fail to hold on to its occupied territories in Henarup, and would be pushed out by the government forces in March 1942.

The Çom Litai Liberation Army has a women's wing called the Çom Litai Women's Organization, which has been mostly made up of non-combatant roles, such as doctors, teachers, etc. It has been responsible for local education for towns but has also been accused by Atsun officials of producing drugs to finance the operations of the organization. Çom Litai leadership has subsequently denied the allegations.

The Çom Litai Liberation Army has been accused by the Atsun government alongside several non-profit organizations of conducting indiscriminate attacks against civilians and perpetrating several terror attacks specifically against civilians. Several independent groups affiliated with the CLLA have taken credit for several attacks against government forces, which have included civilian deaths. CLLA leadership has however not provided any response.
