# 2017 Uvira clashes

The 2017 Uvira clashes were a series of skirmishes between the National Coalition of the People for the Sovereignty of Congo (CNPSC) and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) supported by United Nations MONUSCO peacekeepers in and around the city of Uvira, in the South Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The clashes were a result of the CNPSC coalition's rebellion that began several months earlier, in which the coalition declared its intent to capture the city.

## Background

The CNPSC coalition began a rebellion in 2017 after anticipated elections did not take place in the DRC. William Yakutumba, the coalition's leader, declared his intent to remove President Joseph Kabila from power via armed force. Uvira is the second-largest city in South Kivu, the main province where the coalition is based. The CNPSC had also previously stated their intentions to capture the city as part of their wider campaign to challenge the government. After scoring victories against the government in June and the months after, the CNPSC coalition would continue their momentum and advance on Uvira on September 27.

## Clashes

In the early morning of September 27, CNPSC forces under Ebu Ela Kitungano and René Itongwa advanced to positions 5 km outside of the city. Clashes with government forces erupted at 5 am, and continued throughout the day as rebel forces continued to move on the city. At around 3 pm, CNPSC forces entered Uvira, and heavy fighting erupted, with rebel forces briefly capturing Uvira's port. FARDC forces were reportedly overrun, but with the support of MONUSCO, eventually repelled the incursion.
Fighting continued at 5 am the next day, coinciding with a naval raid carried out by boats under the command of Saidi Ekanda. Government naval forces battled the CNPSC's boats for several hours, sinking one. MONUSCO mobilized attack helicopters to assist in fending off the attack. Within several hours, rebel forces were pushed back south, officially ending the clashes.

## Aftermath

After the attack, a large CNPSC meeting was held in Kazimia, the coalition's main headquarters until 2018. The meeting was used to discuss further collaboration within the coalition, as well as how the group would be structured. Additionally, the FARDC would launch an offensive in retaliation to this attack and the CNPSC's previous incursions, which would damage the coalition temporarily.

# Glenviggan

54°44′31″N 6°55′34″W﻿ / ﻿54.742°N 6.926°W﻿ / 54.742; -6.926
Glenviggan is a townland in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a population of 43 people. In 1911, the population was 77.
Glenviggan is in the Civil Parish of Ballynascreen, the Barony of Loughinsholin and County of Londonderry. Glenviggan has an area of about 2.7 square miles, making it one of the smallest in Ulster. Census records for the 1901 and 1911 censuses are available.
The Irish name for Glenviggan is Gleann-Bheichcean, or Gleann Bhig Fhinne, for the now-drained Loch Beigfhine (pronounced "Glen Vigan"), or "after St. Veggan who was a follower of St. Colmcille," but this folk etymology is derided. The little-known St. Becan of Cork (a/k/a Veggan or Beccán) is supposed to be the origin of Bigín's glen, but even the sources claiming that note the alternate, and more likely, origin as "the little glen" from a 1821 original source. Also, there is a hill near Glenviggan named Crocanlocha ("which means 'the lough hill', referring to the lough which was formally there") and "the Gaelic words bhig gleann [means] 'small glen'."
Although there is evidence of human settlement from the Bronze Age, the agricultural valley was virtually uninhabited until c. 1832. Bog iron ore was mined there in the mid-19th century, which was red enough to be suitable for paint.

# Simon's Sircus

Simon's Sircus, a unit of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy (RN), was an aerobatics display team. It consisted of six de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 jet aircraft belonging to the Fleet Air Arm's (FAA) 892 Naval Air Squadron. The team was active during the summer of 1968. Simon's Sircus was named in honour of both its commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Simon Idiens, RN, and its mascot, a young lion cub from Longleat House, also called Simon.

## History

Simon's Sircus was formed in April 1968 by Lt Cdr Idiens following 892 Squadron's disembarkation from the aircraft carrier HMS Hermes. They were based at RNAS Yeovilton and displayed at numerous RAF Airshows and Royal Navy Air Station Air Days during the 1968 season culminating in the SBAC Farnborough Airshow on 20, 21 and 22 September. The main element of the team's display began with a steep turn and then a loop in ‘broad arrow’ formation, changing to ‘box six’ during the second manoeuvre. This was followed by a barrel roll in ‘long arrow’ formation, a loop in ‘spearhead’ formation and lastly a ‘bomb burst’ and finale. The team were highly acclaimed by many who saw them display, due in no small part to the fact that the Sea Vixens used were over five times heavier than the Folland Gnats used by the well known Red Arrows aerobatic team of the RAF.
Following the conclusion of the Farnborough displays Simon's Sircus and 892 Squadron were officially disbanded.
