The thing about civil wars is that they rarely, if ever, are tied off completely, even when hostilities have subsided. It is usually an uneasy ceasefire that brings about the halt in open combat, followed by a whole lot of hurt feelings on both sides of the arbitrary border, more noticeably on the perceived losing side in most cases. The bad blood or festering wounds that sparked the conflict are generally still present, if not worse, after the parties have slugged it out.
