The Angolan Civil War

Hi everyone!

After having read the "Cold War in Africa" titled  thread, I�d like to hear y�all�s opinion about the Civil War in Angola: its origins, (reasons behind it & consequences: listing many different perspectives) and if possible (copy and paste) many different points of view from many different authors� perspective regarding the civil war itself and its consequences. (1970s up until now) 

And last but not least, the standpoints of the three political parties in Angola back in the 1970s up until the end of the civil war. (i.e. MPLA, az FNLA �s az UNITA political parties.)

In short: after having analysed/read different perspectives from different authors, draw your own conclusions from your chosen text(s), and share them with the community.  That is,  to help us undestand your reasoning, please post the piece of text you drew your conclusions from, the author�s name followed by your own opinion.

Many thanks,
