ANC/MK History of Violence and Mayhem

ANC history of violence and mayhem
The ANC and its members were officially removed from the US terrorism watch list in 2008.
On
8 April 1960, the administration of Charles Robberts Swart, banned the
ANC and forced the party to leave South Africa.[5] After the ban, the
ANC formed the Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) to fight against
apartheid utilizing guerrilla warfare and sabotage.
uMkhonto we Sizwe
(abbreviated as MK, Xhosa pronunciation: [uˈmkʰonto we ˈsizwe], meaning
"The Spear of the Nation") was the paramilitary wing of the African
National Congress (ANC) ... its mission was to fight against and topple
the South African government and the ruling National Party.
After
warning the South African government in June 1961 of its intent to
resist ... MK launched its first attacks against government
installations on 16 December 1961. It was subsequently classified as a
terrorist organisation by the South African government and the United
States, and banned.
