The Boma-Bandingilo ecosystem still supports thousands of Nile Lechwe, Mongalla Gazelle and White-Eared Kob. The vast wetland in the heart of the country, known as the 'Sudd', remains perhaps the most exciting birding destination on the continent. Overview: South Sudan has bags of potential as a safari destination, which has sadly remained out of reach for much of this young country's history, as a result of conflict and civil unrest. Perhaps most surprising is a remarkable population of Wild Dogs that have been recorded in the riverine areas of the park - whilst this reserve is not easily reached or explored, it is certainly worth a visit! Bush Elephant, Cheetah, Lion and Leopard can all, with luck, be seen in this area dotted by mopani woodland and wetlands. Contiguous with Namibia and Zambia, this region is contiguous with the unparalleled safari destinations of Northern Botswana and Zimbabwe and, although wildlife densities are lower here due to past instability and poaching, Luengue-Luiana has much to offer. There's a surprising amount of wildlife across the country, and its centrepiece is the extremely remote Luengue-Luiana National park, in the far south-east of this sprawling wilderness. From towering inselbergs to panoramic waterfalls, Angola has it all. The country is now accessible, although extremely expensive to visit, and many of its spectacles are simply breathtaking. Overview: Angola is a land of mystery, having been hidden from view for much of the last few decades by civil war and political instability. A particular hotspot appears to be the coastal plains of Manaaraani, where both Cheetah and Wild Dog are occasionally observed, as well as Spotted Hyena, Lion and Caracal. Even African Wild Dog are now known to have survived here, with 10-15 packs reported to regularly predate on livestock in the park. Whilst instability, poaching and pastoralism in this area is rampant, it is suspected that populations of wildlife that persist here include Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Caracal and Bush Elephant. The Lag Badana (also known as Bushbush) national park is dominated by dry savannah and woodland, contiguous with the northern wildernesses of Kenya. But it is in the south that the greatest interest for safari-lovers lies. In the dry riverbeds of the interior, Dibatag and other unusual species persist. In the north and west, including the autonomous area of Somaliland, dry mountainous areas are home to rare antelope including Beira. This is a great shame, as Somalia can offer a wide array of habitats. Associated Press reporter Michael Kunzelman in Washington contributed to this report.Overview: Somalia is, unsurprisingly, not high on many people's lists of 'must-visit' safari destinations.Gieswein repeatedly sprayed an “aerosol irritant” at police officers, pushed against a line of police and was one of the first rioters to enter the Capitol, according to a court filing accompanying his guilty plea to assault charges.įederal authorities have said Gieswein appeared to be an adherent of the Three Percenters militia movement and ran a private paramilitary training group called the Woodland Wild Dogs. He marched to the building from the Washington Monument with members of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group. Gieswein was wearing a helmet, flak jacket and goggles and carrying a baseball bat when he stormed the Capitol on Jan. Estimated sentencing guidelines for Gieswein recommend a prison sentence ranging from three years and five months to four years and three months, according to his plea agreement. Robert Gieswein, of Woodland Park, Colorado, is scheduled to be sentenced on June 9. The judge on Monday rescheduled Olivia Pollock’s trial for August as well.Īlso on Monday, a Colorado man pleaded guilty on to using a chemical spray to attack police officers who were trying to hold off the mob. Hutchinson, who now lives in Georgia, was scheduled to face trial in August. Jonathan Pollock is accused of thrusting a riot shield into an officer’s face and throat, pulling an officer down steps and punching others.Īuthorities say Hutchinson pulled back a fence that allowed other rioters to swarm police trying to defend the Capitol, punched an officer and grabbed the sleeve of another before throwing the officer out of his way. Olivia Pollock, who was wearing a ballistic plate-carrier vest during the riot, is accused of elbowing an officer in the chest and trying to strip the officer’s baton away during the melee. Olivia Pollock’s lawyer, Elita Amato, said Monday that her client “had been diligently assisting in her defense for her upcoming trial prior to her disappearance.”Īuthorities encouraged anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact the FBI.
