Nhari rebellion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nhari rebellion occurred in December 1973 amidst the Bush War when ZANLA members in Chifombo, Zambia on the border with Mozambique rebelled against the organization. Ken Flower, head of the Central Intelligence Organisation, sponsored the rebellion which "willing conspirators" carried out.[1][2][3]

Thomas Nhari led the rebellion, hence its name.[4]

Noel Mukono and Simpson Mutambanengwe supported the rebellion.[5]
