Equatorial KunduThe Republic of Equatorial Kundu is a fictional African country from the television series The West Wing. Kundu is a small nation plagued by AIDS, poverty and violence, and consists of two tribes: the Arkutu and the Induye. In January 2003 in the West Wing universe, the Arkutu-run government started murdering Induye on the streets of Bitanga, the capital city. Soon, the murdering spread to the countryside, and the outside world began to speak of genocide. In President Josiah Bartlet's second inaugural address he announced a new doctrine for the use of force: America shall intervene whenever there are humanitarian interests at stake. With that new doctrine the President sent a brigade of the 82nd Airborne, the 101st Air Assualt, and a Marine Expeditionary Unit to Kundu to stop the violence. The intervention was successful in stopping the genocide, but two Marine Lance Corporals patrolling Bitanga airport were kidnapped shortly after the airport was supposedly secured. A rescue operation managed to retrieve both men succeeded, but in response there was a terrorist retaliation on Red Haven, a US military base in Ghana, killing 17 and wounding 20.
