The Angolan Civil War was a major civil conflict in the Southern African state of Angola, beginning in 1975 and continuing, with some interludes, until 2002. The war began immediately after Angola became independent from Portugal in November 1975. Prior to this, a decolonization conflict had taken place in 1974--75, following the Angolan War of Independence. The Civil War was primarily a struggle for power between two former liberation movements, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). At the same time, it served as a surrogate battleground for the Cold War, due to heavy intervention by major opposing powers such as the Soviet Union and the United States.
Each organisation had different roots in the Angolan social fabric and mutually incompatible leaderships, despite their sharing the aim of ending colonial occupation. Although both the MPLA and UNITA had socialist leanings, for the purpose of mobilizing international support they posed as "Marxist-Leninist" and "anti-communist", respectively. A third movement, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), having fought the MPLA alongside UNITA during the war for independence and the decolonization conflict, played almost no role in the Civil War. Additionally, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), an association of separatist militant groups, fought for the independence of the province of Cabinda from Angola.
The 27-year war can be divided roughly into three periods of major fighting -- between 1975 and 1991, 1992 and 1994, and 1998 and 2002 -- broken up by fragile periods of peace. By the time the MPLA finally achieved victory in 2002, an estimated 500,000 people had been killed and over one million internally displaced. The war devastated Angola's infrastructure, and dealt severe damage to the nation's public administration, economic enterprises, and religious institutions.
The Angolan Civil War reached such dimensions due to the combination of Angola's violent internal dynamics and massive foreign intervention. Both the Soviet Union and the United States considered the conflict critical to the global balance of power and to the outcome of the Cold War, and they and their allies put significant effort into making it a proxy war between their two power blocs. The Angolan Civil War ultimately became one of the bloodiest, longest, and most prominent armed conflicts of the Cold War. Moreover, the Angolan conflict became entangled with the Second Congo War in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as with the Namibian War of Independence.

Before HALO began its pioneering clearance programme in 1993, landmines caused hundreds of accidents a year, including fatalities and amputations. Now the people of Mozambique can live safer lives, free from the fear of mines.
The impact of mine clearance can be felt across Mozambique, from small rural communities to cities like Maputo. It has unlocked agricultural land, helped lift rural communities out of poverty and enabled the development of major infrastructure.

According to the UN, South America and Africa lose forests at a faster rate than anywhere else in the world. After years of civil war Mozambique is trying to rebuild itself from the ruins, but the development comes at a great cost to the country's natural resources.
The rich hardwood forests of Mozambique are currently under threat. Trees are being chopped down and burnt into charcoal, which supplies 80 percent of Mozambicans with fuel, as well as a steady source of income. But the destruction of this precious resource is unsustainable - and not only threatens people's livelihoods but also has serious climate change implications.
One small village near the coastal town of Beira, however, is challenging this trend by putting forest conservation at the centre of community development. The Mezimbite Forest Centre's entrepreneurial activities include a nursery division that grows and plants thousands of trees and a design and production division that uses sustainable natural resources to create high-end products for sale both locally and internationally.
The centre also has a multi-purpose education programme that nurtures the specialised skills required for bespoke design production and agroforestry as well as providing education for the children in the community.
Join Ndoni Khanyile in Central Mozambique where a local community project is hoping to break the cycle of poverty by not only growing trees and skills but futures.

Official campaigning started this week and the UN is assisting in

Chissano's ruling Frelimo party in the election campaign said a
poll showed Frelimo was the frontrunner. Of 3000 people surveyed

21 per cent favoured former guerrilla force commander Afonso

After the civil war, Mozambique was one of the most mined countries in the world. On 17 September 2015 the government of Mozambique declared it ‘mine free’.
Over the course of 22 years, The HALO Trust has employed 1,600 Mozambican men and women who have cleared more than 171,000 landmines from over 1,100 minefields. That’s about 80% of all landmines destroyed in Mozambique.
Before HALO began its pioneering clearance programme in 1993, landmines caused hundreds of accidents a year, including fatalities and amputations. Now the people of Mozambique can live safer lives, free from the fear of mines.
The impact of mine clearance can be felt across Mozambique, from small rural communities to cities like Maputo. It has unlocked agricultural land, helped lift rural communities out of poverty and enabled the development of major infrastructure.

Renamo's Dhlakama ends boycott
Renamo opposition leader Afonso Dhlakama voted on Friday (28/10)
in Mozambique's first multi-party elections after ending a poll
boycott that sent shockwaves through southern Africa. Dhlakama
grinned and joked with aides as he voted in the grimy Polana

refused to comment on his sudden about face after announcing early
Thursday (27/10) that his former rebel party would boycott the
elections. Mozambicans and African leaders had feared the Renamo
boycott could lead to a renewal of the devastating 16-year civil
war which ended with a peace accord between Renamo and President
Joaquim Chissano's ruling Frelimo party two years ago. In order to
coax Dhlakama and his Mozambique National Resistance back into the
election, the National Election Commission with the support of the
United Nations announced Friday afternoon (28/10) that voting
would be held on a third day Saturday (29/10). Chissano welcomed
Dhlakama's decision. "This is what all of us wanted," he said
after a meeting with South African Deputy President Thabo Mbeki.
"This is a successful outcome of the efforts made by all of us,
the international community and particularly President (Nelson)
Mandela and Vice President Mbeki." The commission estimated that
more than half the country's 6.4 million registered voters cast
their ballots on Thursday.

A key chapter in southern African history ended at the weekend with the repatriation of some of the last refugees from Mozambique.
Many believed they were leaving the land of milk and honey - Nelson Mandela's new South Africa - to return to a homeland devastated by years of civil war.
But suggestions that their homeland is set to experience an economic boom means there is renewed hope for the returnees.
Many refugees in South Africa have been preparing for their return journey across the border to Mozambique - a country devastated by more than 15 years of war.
They left during the civil war between the South African-sponsored RENAMO and the Marxist government which ended in 1992 and was followed by elections last year.
One-point-seven (m) million are believed to have been driven into exile.
At the peak of the war, South Africa hosted 120-thousand Mozambicans.
To help lure these refugees back, the U-N's relief agency - the U-N-H-C-R - has been finding them jobs, issuing tools to rebuild homes and villages, distributing food and issuing seed kits.
More than 300 people of a group of over one-thousand made the trip this weekend - many are optimistic about what they will find on their return.
SOUNDBITE (IN SESOTHO):
"When I think, I am sure that the war is over. I'm sure we will now be able to find a job when I arrive home. There are new firms opening around there."
SUPER CAPTION: Petrus Mashaba, Returning Refugee
As they leave by truck, they just hope that there will be more opportunities for them than when they left.
SOUNDBITE (IN ZULU):
"I came to South Africa out of my own free will and I am going home out of my own free will."
SUPER CAPTION: James Dlamini, Returning Refugee
SOUNDBITE (IN ZULU):
"If I don't find money at home, I will come back to South Africa to make money and take it home."
SUPER CAPTION: Dumi Skosana, Returning Refugee
And it's not just refugees crossing South Africa's border with Mozambique in the hope of a better life.
Many white South Africans are moving there - some have dubbed it the land of opportunity.
They say years of civil war may have devastated Mozambique, but it has also created opportunities for entrepreneurs to rebuild desperately needed infrastructure.
Johan de Bruin moved to Mozambique when he failed to find work in South Africa.
Within a fortnight he is in discussions with the Mozambique authorities about leasing a large section of farmland.
SOUNDBITE: (IN ENGLISH)
"There is nothing going here. So whatever business, whatever you do here, you can make a success of it. It doesn't matter how big or small, because there is nothing."
SUPER CAPTION: Johan de Bruin, South African in Mozambique
The immigration of South Africans also spells jobs and opportunities for the refugees being sent home.
SOUNDBITE: (IN ENGLISH)
"They want people here - it doesn't mean to say South Africans, it can be anybody. They definitely want employment, they want work definitely and there's going to be a lot of work here soon."
SUPER CAPTION: Johan de Bruin, South African in Mozambique
Di Harvey is another South African who is a suburban housewife turned budding entrepreneur.
SOUNDBITE (IN ENGLISH):
"There are so many people here with many talents, but there's a lack of money and they don't have an opportunity so I feel that if I set up a business with these people, they go in, they run the business as though it is their own and we split the profits 50/50."

English/Nat
The biggest repatriation programme ever organized in Africa is underway as thousands of refugees who fled war and famine in Mozambique are being sent home.
By mid-June of this year 1.6 million refugees are expected to have been returned to Mozambique from areas across Southern Africa at a cost of 152 (m) million dollars (US).
On Tuesday, the last of the U-N convoys from Zimbabwe departed from the eastern town of Marondera.
More than 800 Mozambicans prepare to return home from Zimbabwe to an uncertain future, but one they are fairly sure will no longer be war-torn.
The returnees were processed by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees before the long drive to their home villages.
The UN programme to return the refugees back to Mozambique from South Africa, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Swaziland and Tanzania began more than 10 years ago.
They fled their country when rebels began a civil war against the new government after the country gained independence from Portuguese colonial rule.
The war lasted 15 years.
After the war ended in 1992 and elections held last October, the dispersed population was persuaded to come home and begin again.
Zevhado Bakavane is one of 1.6 million Mozambicans to be returned to their homeland by next month, completing a 152 million US dollar operation by the United Nations.
SOUNDBITE:
"I left Mozambique on February 4th 1984. (Why did you leave Mozambique?) Because of the war and hunger. Mozambique was affected by the drought period."
SUPER CAPTION: Zhevado Bakavane
Carlos James is another refugee who has to start his life all over again in the land of his birth.
But he hopes he will be able to become successful in the new Mozambique.
SOUNDBITE:
"In Mozambique I am going to start my own job, my own contract."
SUPERCAPTION: Carlos James
Not all of the refugees made it onto the convoy - there was not
enough room for all who wanted to go back home.
Many were trying to escape the low wages - sometimes 30 US dollars a month - they are paid as farm workers in Zimbabwe.
In the many southern African countries the refugees generally find work, but for meagre pay.
Their vulnerable position in the host countries is exploited.
Whereas large-scale employers may regret the disappearance of this cheap and willing pool of labour, indigenous workers resent the competition for jobs that the refugees provided.
With this concern in mind, the government of Zimbabwe requested the help of the U-N with the repatriation programme.
SOUNDBITE:
"What you are seeing here in the Stadium of Marondera today is the last convoy in a series of 200 repatriation convoys which have brought home 116,000 Mozambicans from Zimbabwe since the 12th June 1993."
SUPER CAPTION: UN official Simone Wolken
While the situations they are leaving are often desperate, the returnees are not going back to a land of plenty.
The war has devastated Mozambique's infrastructure and there is not enough investment to provide jobs for enough people.
Where there are jobs, wages are low.
But for these people the waiting is over.
They return at least to a land they know and to a future they are determined to build.

MOZAMBIQUE: FLOOD DISASTER - AID ARRIVES

English/Nat
As the muddy, foul waters of the Limpopo River begin to recede in Mozambique, tons of aid has started to arrive from around the world at Mozambique's main airport in Maputo.
Relief officials waiting at the airport hope to bring relief as quickly as possible to the many hundreds of thousands of starving, exhausted flood victims.
Mozambican officials believe the death toll from the flooding has run into the thousands and they estimate that 1 million people need food medicine and other aid.
As politicians continue to argue over the funding of relief to Mozambique Saturday, tons of aid from a variety of countries and relief agencies poured in.
The first of three planeloads of boat teams arrived from the Miami area in the United States.
The boats will initially be used for search and rescue missions and later to distribute aid.
Already, the death toll from the flooding, mostly from drowning, is believed to run into the thousands.
With the threat of disease looming, spawned by the fetid, carcass-filled water and clouds of malaria-carrying mosquitoes it is vital aid reaches survivors as soon as possible.
Relief workers are confident a team effort will help resolve the crisis.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The mission we have been given by the Agency for National Development is to perform rescue operations. To put boats in the water and to go out to the areas where the people are stranded and try and rescue those people and bring them onto the boats and get them over to dry land where other agencies will take them inland and provide for their comfort and any other needs they may have."
SUPER CAPTION: Edward Berner, Logistical Specialist, Miami Dade Fire Rescue
Millions of dollars worth of aid has also been arriving from Europe.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
"I am here from the German Red Cross we are bringing tents, kitchen material and any other things that the people need."
SUPER-CAPTION: Bernd Schell, Deputy Head of German Red Cross
The priority is to extend the relief as far north as possible, touching those regions worst affected by the flooding.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We hope later today to move north to an area outside the helicopter range and arrive to set up a boat station and ensure that at least in that area some relief work rescue work, whatever's needed starts off".
SUPERCAPTION: Willie MacMartin, International Rescue Corps
As a team of French helicopter pilots were being briefed on their mission, the Mozambique National Disaster Coordination Centre warned some of the aid has already fallen into the wrong hands.
The disaster centre said some food relief was being sold in town markets.
The agency also warned that land mines left over from Mozambique's civil war that ended in 1992 had been shifted by flood waters into demined areas, posing a threat to those delivering relief as flood waters recede.
Meanwhile, the United States and Mozambique, seem to be at odds over where the hundreds of American troops expected to arrive soon should be based.
Six U.S. military cargo planes, six helicopters and up to 600 troops are to start arriving in southern Africa within days.
The Americans want many of them operating out of an air base in neighbouring South Africa, more than 1,000 kilometers (660 miles) south of the flooded Save River valley, in central Mozambique where up to 15,000 people remain stranded.
Mozambique government officials have said the American operation would be most effective if it were run from Beira, a city near the Save (sah-VEY) River valley, but the Americans say Beira lacks proper facilities.

English/Nat
Mozambique is facing a new danger - it's feared that the floods have moved some of the two (m) million landmines left over from the country's civil war.
Mine clearance started shortly after the end of the war in 1992, but last month's floods have made the massive job even more complicated.
Now mine clearance workers from the United Nations Development Programme are training sniffer dogs to help look for the hidden explosives.
It's vital that areas are made safe before Mozambique's shattered infrastructure can be repaired.
These pylons were twisted out of shape by the sheer force of last month's floods .
Restoring power to Mozambique is one of the government's top priorities.
But any power workers face the danger of landmines that may have been swept away during the floods.
Mine clearers have been urgently clearing a corridor to reach downed power pylons along the Nkomati River, northwest of the capital Maputo, near the border with South Africa.
The river's muddy waters have receded, but they may have carried mines from a bridge that was washed away upstream.
Workers have refused to put up new power pylons along the river until the space is swept for mines.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"In order to put back the (electricity) towers the contractors want us to clear this area and make sure there is no contamination, supposed contamination from the mines that there were supposed to be on that bridge and that is where we see that now we're going to have a problem from the mines that have been washed up - nobody knows."
SUPER CAPTION: Jack D'Almeida, UN mine clearance expert
Jackie D'Almeida, a former Mozambican soldier,leads a 500-man team that has been steadily removing mines since shortly after the war ended in 1992.
Scouring one of Africa's largest countries for an estimated two million landmines planted during a civil war is backbreaking work in the best of times.
But last month's floods have made the massive job even more complicated.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We know that large chunks of land have been displaced and some of this land was mined. So there is a big chance that some mines may have been swept down the river."
SUPER CAPTION: Trig (last name not known) UN Development Programme
Since the civil war ended, more than one thousand minefields have been identified across Mozambique.
But D'Almeida estimates that perhaps 100 or more were submerged by the devastating floods that hit two weeks ago.
Gone are sticks that marked the fields, along with the red-and-white signposts featuring a skull and crossbones.
More importantly, the de-mining teams have no idea where the old mines will be once the high waters are gone.
The United Nations Development Programme has been helping out by training sniffer dogs to find the explosives.
This mine was planted to test the dogs - and they passed with flying colours.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"As you can see this is a PMN, that is with the explosives and the metal contamination. This is just to see how the dogs - the dogs they sniff the explosives and the detector, as you can see, caught the metal sound."
SUPER CAPTION: Jackie D'Almeida, UN mine clearance expert
Part of the difficulty with clearing mines in Mozambique is that they were planted indiscriminately.
During the civil war from 1975-1992, the government army and rebel fighters buried mines without any rational military reasoning.
They also left no records or maps of where they were hidden.
As a result, mine fields are most often uncovered when women and children working and playing in rural areas step on the mines.
Shortly after the war, there were an average of 40 mines accidents a month, and about 15 were fatal.

French/Nat
The European Union says it's going to give flood-stricken Mozambique at least two (m) million Euros (approx. 2 million U-S dollars) worth of aid, doubling the amount promised last week.
Officials say extra funds to reconstruct Mozambique will also be provided over the next three or four years.
In Mozambique, helicopter crews are continuing to pluck survivors from trees and rooftops as they try to evade the floodwaters.
This Belgian military transport plane is being loaded up with aid supplies courtesy of the European Union.
The E-U has promised two (m) million dollars worth of aid doubling the amount it agreed on last week.
In a statement, E-U External Relations Commissioner Chris Patten said the European Commission also planned to provide funds for economic reconstruction for the next three or
four years.
He also said the E-U had agreed on an aid package over three or four years to reconstruct Mozambique's economy.
Until the floods the Southern African country was enjoying rapid growth after years of civil war.
Like so many relief efforts timing is critical - aid agencies have already criticised governments for acting too slowly as tens of thousands of Mozambicans sit in trees and rooftops.
Aid workers have warned that many may die before any relief reaches them.
About one (m) million Mozambicans are believed to have fled their homes.
Official figures say 200 people have died in the flooding, but the eventual death toll is expected to be in the thousands, after whole villages disappeared beneath the floodwaters.

Until the floods the Southern African country was enjoying rapid growth after years of civil war.
Like so many relief efforts timing is critical - aid agencies have already criticised governments for acting too slowly as tens of thousands of Mozambicans sit in trees and rooftops.
Aid workers have warned that many may die before any relief reaches them.
About one (m) million Mozambicans are believed to have fled their homes.
Official figures say 200 people have died in the flooding, but the eventual death toll is expected to be in the thousands, after whole villages disappeared beneath the floodwaters.

VICE travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of Liberia's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.

A vast array and store of natural resources in Africa often fuels the perception of that continent as the next great economic power. However the economic potential doesn’t always seem to materialize, or translate into improved quality of life for the majority of the citizens on the continent.
This is often alleged to be the result of the notorious one-man dictatorships, or “strongman”, who emerged in the post-colonial era; amassing personal fortunes or plundering public coffers. While this is not true of all the fifty-four counties on the continent, the likes of Mobutu Sese Seko of then-Zaire, Jose Eduardo de Santos of Angola, Charles Taylor of Liberia, Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe often appear to outnumber the Nelson Mandelas and Botswanas.
Who are the men that rule Africa’s resource rich countries? Is the desire for personal wealth the only motivation, and must they make way for wider economic growth to take place? Ambassador Cohen, author of The Mind of the African Strongman: Conversations with Dictators, Statesmen, and Father Figures, addresses this question through the lens of his nearly four decades of personal interactions with Africa’s leaders in the latter half of the 20th century serving in the US Foreign Service.
Ambassador Herman Jay Cohen was the United States Ambassador to Gambia and Senegal from 1977 to 1980, and Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under President George H.W. Bush. Amb. Cohen has spent much of his professional career working in African countries, participating in the negotiations to end civil wars in Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and the political transition of South Africa.

A very rare documentary about the Rhodesian Special Air Service.
The formation of the Rhodesian SAS goes back to November 1959 when it was decided in the Federal Assembly to form a Parachute Evaluation Detachment to examine the practicalities of military parachuting and parachute training in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, with a view to the possible formation of an airborne unit. This was announced by the then Federal Minister of Defence John Moore Caldicott, but it was Sir Roy Welensky who was the reported driving force behind the reforming of what was to become the SAS.
In 1960 a detachment of RAF arrived under Squadron Leader E. Minter to conduct the training of the Parachute Evaluation Detachment (PED). By March 1960, the PED was complete and those on the course were presented their wings by the said Minister of Defence. The "experiment" was a complete success and in July decided to form a regular European Special Air Services Squadron. In late 1960, No 1 Training Unit was formed, and once assembled and trained they would form the nucleus of what was to become: 1 Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI) and "C" Squadron SAS.
In early 1961 six volunteers from the Air Force were sent to RAF Abingdon in England for parachute instructor training and a further group of volunteer officers and NCO's to complete a selection course with the SAS in Britain. On their return they called for volunteers from No. 1 Training Unit and in August 1961 the first of many selection courses was run in the Matopos just outside Bulawayo. No 1 basic training course completed their training in November and were presented their wings by Sir Malcolm Barrow, CBE, MP and then Deputy Prime Minister.
In late 1961 the SAS were moved to Tug Argan Barracks (named after the Battle of Tug Argan, fought 10–15 August 1940), Ndola in Northern Rhodesia along with the Selous Scouts Armoured Car Regiment. By July the following year, No 9 basic course received their wings from the Federal Prime Minister himself, Sir Roy Welensky, KCMG, MP. In August 1962, the Unit had sufficient men to become operational and became known as "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service.
With the breakup of the Federation at the end of 1963, the Squadron was virtually destroyed by many taking the "golden handshake" and some remaining in Northern Rhodesia which included all the officers and the OC at that time. Only 38 NCO's and men remained to serve in Southern Rhodesia. The Unit was relocated to Cranborne Barracks in Salisbury. The initial years after the break-up found the unit having difficulty in attracting recruits. This was largely due to the high standards required of an SAS soldier and also due to the "ill feeling" between the SAS and the RLI (from where most of the recruits should have been selected).
Nevertheless, both the SAS and the RLI played crucial roles in the domestic counter-insurgency effort during the Rhodesian Bush War. The SAS and the Selous Scouts, were the principal special forces units used in external operations. In terms of some of the most important of the external operations, the SAS and RLI both participated in Operation Dingo in November 1977, which was one of the most successful operations conducted during the war.
The numbers of men in the SAS went up to approximately 250 when in June 1978 "C" Squadron (Rhodesian) Special Air Service became 1 (Rhodesian) Special Air Service Regiment.[2] The unit moved to their new barracks called Kabrit in 1979 and continued to serve with outstanding success and distinction[citation needed] until it was disbanded with the transition to black majority rule on 31 December 1980 as Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. "D" Squadron was the "cover" name given to the South African Special Forces, Alpha Group from 1 Reconnaissance Commando (1 RC) & Bravo Group from 5 RC who worked alongside "C" Squadron SAS in the South-East corner of Rhodesia and Gaza Province,of Mozambique both separately and jointly from late 1977 – June 1978. SA personnel were also deployed with Rhodesian SAS on Op Splinter on Lake kariba, in 1978.
