Splitting the article
editThere should be a separated article for the 4 Feb 2012 battle, this article is about the May-September 2011 battle. 222.255.197.48 (talk) 18:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am guessing you mean the 4 March battle, though I agree that is significant enough to warrant a separate article - hundreds of well prepared militants overran an Army base, killing more than a 100 soldiers and taking 55 prisoner as well as heavy equipment - surely the biggest upset the local branch of Al Qaeda has pulled in a while and quite possibly the beginning of a shift in tactics. Skycycle (talk) 18:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
It may be good for it to have its own article but its still part of the Battle of Zinjibar due to the ongoing siege. Or we close this battle as ending back in September (May-September) when the military made the last attempt to take back the city, after which they made no more attempts, thus making it a Al Qaeda victory, and the attack that happened on 3 March being a separate conflict. EkoGraf (talk) 01:55, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Actually you are right, it does seem to be part of the same conflict... However the military did lose the first battle in the summer and then they proceeded to claim they had retaken the town - something which now appears to be impossible. Maybe leave it as it is and just structure it better and add content? Skycycle (talk) 12:28, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Well now that I think about it I'm more inclined to the first battle being from May to September (Al-Qaeda victory) and this now being a totaly new thing, since there was a too long period of inactivity on the frontline between the two (October-February, five months).
