Street violence
erupts, kills
six protesters
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP)
— Rumors of a plot to free the jailed
leader of a Jan. 6 coup attempt pro
voked street violence Sunday that
left at least six people dead and eight
wounded, according to independent
radio reports.
The dead included four reputed
agents of the ousted Duvalier
dictatorship lynched by a mob and
two protesters shot by soldiers, the
reports said.
Government and military officials
denied there had been an attempt to
free coup leader Roger Lafontant
and said he and his 15 alleged con
spirators remained under heavy
guard at the National Penitentiary.
Radio reports said the distur
bances began before daybreak as
slum dwellers erected barricades of
flaming tires and debris in many sec
tions of Port-au-Prince, capital of
this impoverished nation of 6 mil
lion.
In suburban Carrefour, soldiers
opened fire on an unruly crowd, kill-
'ing at least two protesters. Radio
Haiti Inter said. At least eight were
wounded, Radio Metropole re
ported. An earlier report erro
neously said eight people were killed
in the incident.
Radio Antilles said rioters burned
a police-fire station in the neighbor
hood, but it was unclear whether the
burning occurred before or after
soldiers fired on the crowd.
In a separate incident, a mob
lynched four men reputedly linked
to the 29-year Duvalier dictatorship,
which ended in 1986.
President flees, rebels seize control
of Somali capital, take over airport
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Guer
rillas on Sunday won apparent con
trol of Somalia after a month of
fighting forced longtime President
Mohamed Siad Barre from his offi
cial residence. A Western doctor
who just left Mogadishu said rebels
had taken over the airport and main
radio station.
Siad Barre’s whereabouts re
mained unknown. Reports from So
malia’s capital said he may have fled
to Kismayu, south of Mogadishu,
one of the few sections of the Horn
of Africa nation of 8 million believed
still loyal to him.
Celebrations broke out Saturday
night across Mogadishu after the re
bels drove Siad Barre from the pres
idential mansion and seized state ra
dio; on Sunday the guerrillas
tightened their grip by capturing the
airport, the last government strong
hold, Dr. Marc Gastello Etchejorry
said.
“The information frpm Mogadi
shu is that the fighting has finished,”
Etchejorry said. “There is no more
shooting. The rebels have an
nounced that all of the city is under
their control.”
There was no independent confir
mation of the situation due to wide
spread communications problems.
The rebel United Somali Con-
g ress in their claim, which was
roadcast over the formerly govern
ment-run Radio Mogadishu, said
they seized control of Mogadishu at
8:30 p.m. Saturday.
“Last night... the government and
the responsibility of the Somali peo
ple were taken over by the USC
movement,” the rebels said. “We are
addressing you from Radio Mogadi
shu, the voice of the Somali people.”
The broadcast was monitored in
Nairobi.
Etchejorry, of the humanitarian
agency Doctors Without Borders,
said that after Saturday’s rebel victo
ries the streets filled with people
dancing, hugging, kissing and shoot
ing guns into the air to celebrate
Siad Barre’s downfall.
Etchejorry was one of six medics
that Doctors Without Borders sent
to Mogadishu the past week to treat
war casualties. He left the city Sun
day morning for the Kenyan coastal
city of Mombasa, where Doctors
Without Borders is coordinating its
Somalia effort. He spoke in a tele
phone interview.
The rebels, who draw their
strength from the large central Ha-
wiye clan, have pledged to replace
Siad Barre’s government with a mul
tiparty democracy, hold free elec
tions and allow some form of re
gional autonomy for the arid
nation’s clan-based people.

War increases Army combat medic training
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Army combat medic
training has been increased from five to seven
days a week at Fort Sam Houston as war rages in
the Persian Gulf, officials said.
Col. John Mullins, who runs the Joint Read
iness Training Command at Fort Sam Houston,
said as the possibility of a land war draws closer,
full classes of combat medics are being trained in
San Antonio and at Marine installations on the
East and West coasts.
Medics are being trained to treat every injury
from chemical burns to bad skin.
Troops wounded in Operation Desert Storm
would be treated first by a medic or combat life-
saver, Mullins said.
“The primary object is to resuscitate and keep
the patient alive and maintain circulation with
fluids,” Mullins said.
If the wound is serious, the victim is moved by
hand-carried litter or by truck to the next eche
lon, which the Army calls the battalion aid sta
tion. Or, the soldier is moved to a beachhead
evacuation station in the case of the Marines.
These aid centers are highly mobile and
usually are established a mile or so from combat,
Mullins said.
At this level, there will be a doctor or a physi
cian’s assistant. The goal is to keep the patient al
ive for transport to a higher level of care — first
to a division-aid station and then to a hospital,
where critical lifesaving surgery could be per
formed.
Modern war is so lethal that advances in medi
cal care during the past 25 years will have little
effect on the odds of survival for U.S. troops who
may he wounded in ground combat, experts say.
Studies of 8,000 casualties in the Vietnam War
show death iti ground combat generally was so
quick that even if there were a hospital next to ev
ery foxhole, there was little that medical science
could have done to save lives, said Col. Ron Bel
lamy, of the Joint Readiness Command at Walter
Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C.
“Eighty percent of those who die in combat
will die within seconds,” Bellamy said. Another
10 percent of the fatalities die within minutes,
and the final 10 percent will die during evacua
tion or treatment.

Seven slain
in unrest;
coup foiled
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) — Mourners massed in the
black township of Sebokeng on Sun
day to bury 39 African National
Congress supporters killed in a re
cent massacre, and police reported
seven people slain in unrest nation
wide.
Meanwhile, leaders of the nomi
nally independent Ciskei homeland
said Sunday their military foiled a
coup attempt and killed the rebel
leader, identified as a former mem
her of the ruling Military CouncilJ
second alleged rebel leader was
wounded in a shootout at a roadb
lock leading to the Ciskei capital, Bi
sho.
The report on seven deaths came
two days before a planned meeting
of the nation’s most powerful blacl
leaders — Nelson Mandela of the
ANG and Mangosuthu Butheleziof
the Inkatha Freedom Party — con
sidered crucial to ending fightinj
between rival black groups.
Police and the military, concerned
about possible violence at the Sebo
keng funeral, set up roadblocks on
streets leading into the township
outside Johannesburg. Aboui
15,000 people gathered in the town
ship stadium where coffins weredis
played on the field. Youths changed
ANC slogans.
On Jan. 12, at a funeral vigil not
far from the stadium, assailants with
AK-47 assault rifles fired into a
crowd of ANC mourners and killed
at least 39. One of those being bur
ied Sunday was ANC activist Mphi
keleli Christoffel Nangalembe
whose first funeral vigil was th< I
scene of the Sebokeng massacre
Nangalembe was found strangled
near Sebokeng on Jan. 5.
Speakers Sunday blamed policf
for the massacre, alleging they did ;
not provide adequate security. “This f
massacre is the direct responsibilit;
of the police, and we charge their
with criminal negligence in not car
tying out their duties,” Thomas
Nkobi, a member of the ANC’s Na
tional Executive Committee, said
Police said they left the Jan. 12 vigil
at the ANC’s request.
After listening to speakers
mourners followed a procession
from the stadium to a nearby cemf
tery for the burials.
Motive for the massacre remains!
unclear.
Local residents alleged it was car
ried out by local gang members re
cruited by Inkatha, which denied in
volvement.
