A Brief Explanation of Angola's Civil War | African Biographics
Hi Welcome to another episode of African Biographics, in this video we go back in history to do a brief explaination of the Angolan Civil War. The war started in 1975 when fighting between the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), led by Jose Eduardo DOS SANTOS, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola…

am i the only one that discovered this civil war from cod?
Aims of Angola results n reasons
2:00 you mean other “communist countries”
That's no the truth.
The South African armed forces we're not defeated in any ocasion while in Angola.
Actually was the opposite,the South Africa armed forces with UNITA did inflict a Crushing Defeat to the FAPLA and the Cuban armed forces in November 1987 on the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale,the biggest Battle fought in Africa after WW2.
The Cubans and the FAPLA never again tried to take the UNITA headquarters.
The FAPLA and the Cubans payed dearly on Cuito Cuanavale.
Considering the war ended so recently and so much infrastructure was broken, they got a way to go. Hopefully Angola will make it someday soon.
Tbh video games brought me here, I really wanted to have a better understanding of the conflict
In the original Call Of Duty Black Ops II, in one mission, the protagonist fights for UNITA against the MPLA
(Fun fact: Jonas Savimbi's family sued Call Of Duty's developers for depicting Savimbi as a savage warrior)
In Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain, the protagonist fights for the MPLA against UNITA
This video helped me a lot, thank you
You pronounced the name José in Spanish: /hosé/. Angolans speak Portuguese, so the correct pronunciation is /zhuzé/, with an open /e/ at the end, 2 sounds Spanish doesn't have.
apartheid, the dictator Mobutu, Savimbi is a mad man
Angola ,Cuba and Russia contributed directly for acceleration independence of Namibia and the end of apartheid.
keep up the good content!
Savimbi was a household name during those dark years in Angola.
Dude if you cant speak slow, if rushing your videos. Rather shut your mouth and dont create this video
This your history lesson has some serious misinformation and in bad taste to it
Thank You For This Video. It Was Really Very Nice & Informative. Thank You. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐🌼🌼🌼🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌻🌻🌻🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍.
I think that, while the "Resource Curse" is fuelling / financing such conflicts, the core issue of these conflicts is tribalism. Borders have been drawn that force people to living together, even though they haven't even learned to live next to each other. And as long as the current borders (across most of Africa) persist, this will never change. With its current borders, Africa will remain in a perpetual state of civil war, to the convenience of those who seek to exploit the continent.
What Africa needs, is a new "Berlin Conference", with the difference that Africans redraw the lines themselves along ethnic, linguistic and cultural lines… And start living next to each other. It'll be a long process and there will be more fighting. But that is the (long) way towards a sustainable peace.
Talk about unita,mpla,fnla in seperate videos please and thanks
Who else here from bo2
Nothing is impossible but its going to take a lot of years and commitment and hard work.
Thats the truth the intrest ifrom ouutside Angola was all about the exploitation of its minerals from the other countries like US ,Russia and China.
I have a friend that was in the SA artillery unit according to him the SADF destroyed the airstrip in Cuito and its not the truth that the Cubans won. The SADF killed so many Cuban soldiers among the side walls of the Lomba river that they feel sorry for they Cubans.So please spread the truth.
The MPLA leaders were swine
My father fought in Angola 🇦🇴 from cuba and he told me some prisoners of war became food by rival African troops
You need to talk slowly brother , so that the would pickup what you say easily .
Thanks bro
One major correction required! South Africa, although numerically inferior, defeated the cubans and the mpla in every battle in Southern Angola.
Do desist with the communist propaganda
Our journey to victory has begun!
DEATH TO THE MPLA
Ο Θεος να σε ευλογει ανγκολα
