Ethiopia edit

1980 edit

Eritrean rebels claimed a victory over the Ethiopians at Mahimet on 12 January, 1980. They claimed that, of around 30,000 Ethiopian soldiers, 5,000 were killed- the rebels never mentioned their own casualties.[1] Apparently in the face of the heavy losses, the Soviet Union offered in February 1980 to mediate talks to end the war in Eritrea, according to Arab diplomatic sources.[2]

Orange County–Los Angeles County car chase edit

Throughout the evening on November 9, 2022, a car chase between Johnny Anchondo and police unfolded in Orange County and Los Angeles County, California. The incident was caught live on KABC-TV from a news helicopter.

Incident edit

The chase began around 4:45 PM local time, when Anchondo committed multiple traffic violations in Fullerton, including allegedly failing to yield.[3] As he sped off, police followed him.[4] Anchondo briefly got out of his sedan to attempt to carjack a pickup truck, but was unable to and returned to his vehicle.[3] He soon sped into a nearby apartment complex, abandoning his vehicle and carjacking a parked and unoccupied white Chevrolet van. The police caught up to him while he was in the vehicle, trapping and him against a gated driveway, but, upon getting the van started, Anchondo rammed the van into the police's cruiser repeatedly until he was able to speed off and exit the complex.[5][6]

As Anchondo crossed into Los Angeles County, the vehicle he drove collided with multiple other vehicles and lost its left-rear wheel. After the van was disabled, Anchondo fled the van on foot and entered a neighborhood in Whittier. There, he entered the home of a family and, after a brief scuffle with the family members, one of whom wielded a knife, Anchondo stole the family's newly purchased Chevrolet pickup truck.[7][5] The pursuit continued for some time afterwards, as Anchondo crashed into numerous other vehicles, ran red lights, and crossed onto the wrong side of the road on multiple occasions.[3] The chase came to a close as the front-left tire of the vehicle shredded off, and the vehicle rammed into another car- it was then rammed by a police car and slowly moved into a gas station in Hacienda Heights, striking a pump on the way. Anchondo reversed and rammed the vehicle into a police car, and police opened fire with less-lethal rounds on the vehicle, which had stopped by then. No one was injured by the gunfire. Shortly afterward, he was taken into custody.[7][5]

First Congo War edit

On 26 June or 27 June, 1996, armed men attacked a food warehouse around the Kibumba refugee camp, in Kivu, Zaire, killing eight- five Zaireans, and three Rwandan refugees.[8] It was said by the Republican Rally for Democracy in Rwanda that the attack was meant to test Zairean defenses.[9]

On 8 September, a mine struck a vehicle of relief workers near Goma, killing two.[10] During early September of 1996, growing human rights violations against the Banyamulenge by Zairean soldiers and locals in South Kivu were reported. Many Banyamulenge had their properties attacked in Uvira on 9 September, while five Banyamulenge had been killed by Zairean soldiers from 6 to 8 September. Banyamulenge militias also began clashing with Zairean soldiers, with reports of casualties arising, while the Zairean government's accusation of Rwandan support for the militiamen culminated in an exchange of mortar and heavy arms fire between the two nations from 22 September to 24 September.[11] Rwanda alleged that the Zaireans used recoilless rifles, mortars, and anti-aircraft guns in shelling, and that the Rwandans had simply responded with fire at Bukavu. Some aid workers from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies departed eastern Zaire due to the fighting.[12] Zaire also claimed that Rwandan soldiers were infiltrating the area to support the Banyamulenge militiamen.[13] In addition, Zaire alleged that UN agencies were assisting the Banyamulenge militiamen, an allegation that the UN denied, and which resulted in Zairean soldiers arresting and beating up two UN staffers according to UN sources.[14]

An attack on Kibumbo camp on 6 October, allegedly by Banyamulenge, left seven dead.[15] On 8 October, Zairean soldiers went on a "looting rampage" through Uvira, and on the same day, South Kivu Deputy Governor Lwasi Ngabo Lwabanji gave the Banyamulenge of South Kivu one week to depart the province, lest they all be treated as rebels.[16] An upsurge of hostilities in the area followed these demands, with four people being killed in attack on Runingo camp from an 12 October to 13 October.[15]

Siege of Juba edit

The city of Juba was besieged by rebels under the Sudanese People's Liberation Army from 10 January, 1985, after an SPLA offensive seized swaths of Equatoria and surrounded the city,[17][18] to 3 August, 2005, forces of the SPLA entered the city to help quell rioting after Garang's death,[19][20] and then again on 3 December, 2005, when the SPLA officially entered the city permanently.[21]

Course of the siege edit

From December 1984 to January 1985, the SPLA launched an offensive in Equatoria that seized multiple towns, such as Mongolla and Lafon. The SPLA set up positions surrounding the city on 10 January, 1985,[18] and by the end of the offensive, Juba and the 4,000 to 5,000[22] Sudanese troops located in the city had been cut off on all sides by the SPLA, save for aerial traffic.[17] After Juba was surrounded, the rebels seemed poised to seize the city at first, and had begun to warn of an impending offensive on the city, warning foreigners to leave the city due to the apparently impending fighting-[22] the Sudanese military, meanwhile, confirmed clashes near Juba but denied rebel successes in the area.[23] Rebels were observed to be only 30 miles from Juba by February 1985, according to residents in the city.[24]

On April 2, 1986, a plane transporting government soldiers from Juba to Bor crashed, either due to an SPLA shootdown or technical issues, the latter of which was the claim of Sudanese Defense Minister Uthman Abdullah.[25]

Southern Somalia edit

In May of 1988, a major offensive was launched by the Somali National Movement to seize the towns of Hargeisa, Burao, and Berbera. The Somali government counterattacked with intense aerial bombardments that destroyed 80% of Hargeisa and killed 15,000.[26]

In April of 1989, around 3,000 Ogadeni soldiers mutinied in and around the city of Kismayo. Kismayo itself remained in government hands, but the mutineers retreated into the bush to fight government forces.[27] In one instance, in August, the Ogadeni rebels kidnapped 12 members of Barre's Marehan clan in Kismayo, demanding the release of Adan Abdyullahi Ngor, a General and former Defence Minister arrested on charges of treason.[28] The whole of Kismayo was said to be in the hands of the rebels by August, according to various diplomatic sources, as hundreds of Somalis fleeing the growing violence came to Kenya.[29] The Ogadeni rebels formed the Somali Patriotic Movement in June.[30]

Northern Somalia edit

An uprising in Borama occurred in early August of 1989, with the SNM claiming control of the city, while Colonel Omar Ghies defected from the Somali army near Hargeisa, with as many as 2,000 of his fighters. Ghies' forces did not join with the SNM, but rather agreed not to attack them as they each focused on fighting the government.[31]
