Sudan, Civil War and Terrorism, 1956-99
The NLC in Retreat
By October 1964 the rebels were beginning to feel the pressure from the central government forces, spearheaded by European mercenary commandos and supported by US combat and transport aircraft. On the 28th Victor Gbenye, prime minister of the NLC-declared People’s Republic of the Congo, ensconced in Stanleyville, declared bitterly that as Belgians were now openly helping the central government, his regime could no longer guarantee the safety of B…
The Anya-Nya
The Sudanese army was largely designed for internal security, as a supplement to the police service and not - as in most countries - for defence against external enemies. Unconsciously perhaps, and almost as a matter of faith and tradition, Sudan still relied upon its remoteness, of being separated from potential predators by hundreds of miles of desert, scrub land and mountainous terrain. Roman legions and British armies had marched into its des…
Autonomy and Consolidation
In the latter part of 1970 and the first part of the following year, Colonel Lagu consolidated his successes and was able to call another meeting of political and military leaders in August 1971 at Owiny Ki-Bul in the Immatong Mountains. At this meeting he formed a political party, the Southern Sudan Liberation Movement (SSLM), which was to be subservient to the ANAF and of which he became chairman. Lagu also promoted himself to the rank of major…
The Second Invasion of Shaba
When some of the uncertainty, anxiety and excitement of the first invasion of Shaba had subsided somewhat, President Mobutu concentrated on further consolidating his power base in Zaire and proceeded with his proclaimed reforms. A principal political reform, introduced in October 1977, was that the regional commissioners of the eight regions were given control over the local army, police and government departments, while Mobutu retained control o…
The rejected south
Premier Khalil's rejection in December 1957 of the possibility of Sudan becoming a federal state had been a deep disappointment to southern politicians, and General Abboud's sweeping aside of all political parties and multiparty activities was an even deeper one. There was only one southern minister in the cabinet: Santino Deng, minister of animal resources. President Abboud (he soon assumed the style and dignity of that office) refused to believ…

Algerian and Other Problems
On the morning of 24 December 1994 at Houari Boumedienne Airport, Algiers, an Air France Airbus 300, flight number 8969, was on the tarmac boarding its last passengers when four hijackers dressed in Air France uniforms drove up to the aircraft. Posing as cleaning staff, they went aboard and mingled with the passengers. Once loading had been completed they showed themselves, produced weapons and took over radio communication with the control tower…

IRA leadership problems
The present leadership of the IRA has been in power for about five years, and appears to be a tight, collective one, with determination to fight a long terrorist campaign until the British government is forced to abandon Northern Ireland. Behind that firm façade are doubts and uncertainties, such as whether the IRA will in fact be able to sustain a long campaign in the face of improved antiterrorist measures. The article traces the development of…
