#TodayInHistory: 09 May 1978, Rhodesian government troops clashed with PF rebels, resulting in the death of civilians. Unfortunately, I couldn’t verify the specific incident details. The Rhodesian Bush War was a complex conflict between the white minority government and black nationalist groups.

The conflict, which lasted from the 1960s to 1979, saw numerous clashes between government forces and rebel groups, including the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and the Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA). These groups sought to end white minority rule and establish a black majority government.

The war ultimately ended with the Lancaster House Agreement in 1979, paving the way for Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980. The agreement allowed for multiracial elections and led to the country’s transition to black majority rule under Prime Minister Robert Mugabe.
