During the Third Anglo-Afghan War, he accompanied the Afghan Army as far as Matun and was said to have participated in Nadir Khan's attack on Thal.
|
For his efforts in the war, he was promoted to honorary Brigadier and "Naib Salar".
|
Sources disagree on the circumstances surrounding Babrak's death.
|
In March 1924, a rebellion broke out in Khost, and the Zadran tribe was among the tribes opposing the Afghan government, according to "A Guide to Intra-state Wars".
|
Ludwig Adamec and David B. Edwards agree that Babrak died fighting in the Khost rebellion, but disagree about which year - Edwards places it in 1924, and Adamec places it in 1925.
|
Adamec and Edwards both state that Babrak fought for the Afghan government, "against" what would be his own tribe according to "A Guide to Intra-state Wars".
|
However, George Fetherling states that Babrak "did" lead the Zadran revolt, and died fighting against the Afghan government, upon which he was succeeded by his son, Mazrak Zadran.
|
Rhea Talley Stewart appears to contradict claims that Babrak led the Zadran tribe during the Khost rebellion, stating that the Zadran were led by Burland Khan at this time.

Charlie Brown Jr. discography
|
The discography of Charlie Brown Jr., a Brazilian alternative rock band, consists of ten studio albums, five video albums, three live albums, one promotional extended play, one compilation, one demo tape and forty singles.
|
The band was formed in Santos, São Paulo in 1992 from the ashes of What's Up, a former project of vocalist Chorão that, by the time of its demise, already had in its line-up bassist Champignon, guitarists Marcão and Thiago Castanho, and drummer Renato Pelado.
|
In 1994 they released their first demo and Champignon sent it to record producer Tadeu Patolla, who in his turn showed it to his friend Rick Bonadio; Bonadio then secured the band a contract with Virgin Records and their debut, "Transpiração Contínua Prolongada", came out in 1997.
|
Castanho left the band in 2001, after the release of their third album "Nadando com os Tubarões", and they continued as a quartet until "Tamo Aí na Atividade", when a series of creative divergences prompted the departure of its entire line-up.
|
After a brief hiatus, Chorão reactivated the band in 2005 with Heitor Gomes on bass, André Pinguim on drums and Castanho returning as guitarist.
|
Pinguim's contract expired in 2008, after which he was replaced by Bruno Graveto, and in 2011, following the departure of Gomes, Marcão and Champignon returned to make Charlie Brown Jr. a quintet again.
|
While the band was working on their tenth studio album, "La Familia 013", Chorão died due to a cocaine overdose on March 6, 2013, effectively ending the group's activities.
|
Six months later, on September 9, Champignon committed suicide by firearm after struggling with anxiety and depression.
|
The album, eventually their last, was released posthumously on October 8.

Society of Ship-Owners of Great Britain
|
The Society of Ship-Owners of Great Britain (SOGB) was an organisation established by British ship-owners in 1802 to defend their interests by opposing breaches of the Navigation Acts.
|
The decision to form the organisation was reached at a meeting held on 22 June in London.
|
The ship owners were concerned that while their operating costs such as taxation, naval supplies, wages and insurance, had increased, foreign competition meant their freight rates were kept low.
|
Many ships stood idle while others ran at a loss.
|
They campaigned for American ships to be excluded from British colonies and fought the American Intercourse Bill of 1806.
|
The SOGB was organised around port committees with the principal committee being that of London.
|
The committee was composed as follows:
|
Chairman: John Hill (also trustee)
|
Nathaniel Atcheson was appointed secretary for both the London Committee and that of the society as a whole.
|
Secretaries were appointed for other ports:
|
Ship owners from Bristol, Leith, Kirkcaldy, Bridlington and various other ports expressed an interest in supporting the association.
|
The SOGB published material relevant to shipowners and their campaigns.

Ubari conflict
|
The Ubari conflict is an ongoing territorial dispute between the Taureg and Tubu tribes over control of the town of Ubari, located near the oasis city of Sabha, Libya.
|
The conflict began in September 2014, when the Tuareg and Tubu fought for control of the city.
|
The Arab Awlad Suliman tribe, an enemy of the Tubu, supported the Taureg in what they viewed as combating Tubu expansionism.
|
The Taureg took positions on Tendi Mountain, north of the city, while the Tubu took most of the Eastern side of town and adjacent foothills, cutting off the Eastern road leading to the Taureg stronghold of Sabha, in Western Libya.
|
As the conflict progressed, both sides received reinforcements.
|
The Tubu mobilized several hundred tribesmen from neighboring Chad and Niger, as well as recruiting fighters from Sudan.
|
The Taureg mobilized in Ghat, and Sabha, bringing several hundred of its fighters to Ubari.
|
On 23 November 2015, Qatar mediated a ceasefire between the Taureg and Tubu; both groups agreed to withdraw from Ubari, and allowed for Arab tribesmen of the Hasawna tribe to enter the city to act as peacekeepers.
|
In March 2017, representatives from the Tuareg, Tebu, and Awlad Suleiman signed a peace treaty in Rome as a replacement for a failed 2015 ceasefire brokered by Qatar.
|
In February 2019, both the Taureg and Tubu temporarily united under the GNA and its Taureg commander Gen. Ali Kanna to defend against advances by the LNA under General Khalifa Haftar in Fezzan.
