Buka , or Boka, is the name for the cloak traditionally worn by Noongar people, the Indigenous Australians Indigenous people of south western Australia . Unlike in the south east, where people such as Yorta Yorta wore possum skin cloak s, the Noongars made use of the pelt of the kangaroo . While in the south east, there was a lot of sewing involved, there was less involved in the south west. It normally consisted of the whole skin of two to three kangaroos sewn together, with the tail hanging at the bottom of the cloak. The cloak was worn over one shoulder and under the other. It was fastened at the neck using a small piece of bone or wood. By wearing the cloak this way it allowed for movement of both arms without any restrictions and allowed for daily activities to be carried out with ease. Cloaks were reversible. They were worn the fur on the inside when particularly cold and could be turned the other way when it was raining. The cloaks were also used as rugs to sleep on at night. Today many Aboriginal people have new cloaks and rugs made from kangaroo skins. They are used in performances or often as they were traditionally as a nice warm rug or cloak.

Buka Suka Dimka , a Lieutenant Colonel in the Military of Nigeria Nigerian army an officer of the army physical training corps , led the February 13, 1976 abortive military coup against the government of General Murtala Ramat Mohammed . General Mohammed was assassinated along with his Aide de Camp Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa , as well as his driver and orderly, when his Mercedes Benz was ambushed in Ikoyi, Lagos . The coup itself was crushed several hours later by forces loyal to the government. Lieutenant Colonel Dimka fled from the premises of Radio Nigeria at Ikoyi where he had made a broadcast to the nation. He was eventually arrested in the company of a prostitute in Eastern Nigeria . Following a court martial , Lieutenant Colonel Dimka and another 38 military officers and civilians were executed by firing squad. In a planned broadcast to the nation, Lieutenant Colonel Dimka had cited corruption, indecision, arrest and detention without trial, weakness on the part of the Head of State and maladministration in general as the reasons for overthrowing the government. The former military head of state, General Yakubu Gowon who had been overthrown by General Mohammed in July 1975 was implicated in the abortive coup but escaped justice as he was living in exile in London. The British Government refused to extradite him. Years later he was given an official pardon by civilian president Shehu Shagari since there was insufficient evidence to convict him of involvement. General Murtala Mohammed was succeeded by Lieutenant General Olusegun Obasanjo . Buka Suka Dimka was publicly shot at the Bar Beach in Lagos . ref cite web url http www.thisdayonline.com archive 2004 05 06 20040506lif01.html title A General s Tortuous Life after Retirement author Max Amuchie accessdate 2011 03 11 ref References reflist Sources http www.dawodu.com dimka.htm The Dimka s Coup Attempt of February 13, 1976 Category Nigerian military personnel ru , yo Buka Suka Dimka ... more details
