The Mahgoub government has two goals: progress…
September 1965 CE
The army launches a major offensive to crush the rebellion and in the process augments its reputation for brutality among the southerners.
Many southerners report government atrocities against civilians, especially at Juba and Wau.
Sudanese army troops also burn churches and huts, close schools, destroy crops and loot cattle
To achieve his second objective, Mahgoub succeeds in having parliament approve a decree that abolishes the SCP and deprives the eleven communists of their seats.
