Selected History of the Rhodesian Conflict 1970-79
Lecture at the Anzac Memorial Auditorium, Hyde Park South, Sydney – start: 1pm
Speaker: Fabian Cohnen
Subject: Selected History of the Rhodesian Conflict 1970-79
Fabian Cohnen was an officer in the Rhodesian Forces at the time, and an RUSI NSW member.
The Rhodesian Bush War, also known as the Second Chimurenga as well as the Zimbabwean War of Independence, was a civil conflict from July 1964 to December 1979 in the unrecognised country of Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe-Rhodesia and now Zimbabwe).
The conflict pitted three forces against one another: the Rhodesian white minority-led government of Ian Smith (later the Zimbabwe-Rhodesian government of Bishop Abel Muzorewa); and militant African guerrillas organisations such as Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army, the military wing of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union; and the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army of Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People's Union.
