Editing Death squad (section)

==== South Africa ====
Beginning in the 1960s, the [[African National Congress]] (ANC), their ally, the [[South African Communist Party]] (SACP), and the [[Pan Africanist Congress of Azania|Pan-Africanist Congress]] (PAC), began a campaign to topple South Africa's [[National Party (South Africa)|National Party]] (NP)-controlled [[Apartheid]] Government. Both the ANC's armed wing, [[Umkhonto we Sizwe]] (MK), and South African security forces routinely engaged in bombings and targeted killings, both at home and abroad. Particularly notorious death squads used by the apartheid government included the [[Civil Cooperation Bureau]] (CCB) and the [[South African Police]]'s counter-insurgency unit C10, commanded by Colonel [[Eugene de Kock]] and based at the [[Vlakplaas]] farm west of [[Pretoria]], itself also a center for [[torture]] of prisoners.

After the end of Apartheid, death squad violence conducted by both the National Party and the ANC was investigated by the [[Truth and Reconciliation Commission (South Africa)|Truth and Reconciliation Commission]].
