Civil War in many areas of Southern Africa has caused human
disaster on a huge scale. While Zimbabwe alone has largely escaped
this, Mozambique has been reduced to the status of the poorest,
most aid-dependent state in Africa and UNITA's war in Angola
continues. Abiodun Alao's account of the deep-rooted ethnic and
ideological divisions in all three territories explores the ways in
which this state of almost permanent instability and conflict
emerged during and after the struggle for independence, and the
extent to which existing tensions within the region were
internationalized and exacerbated during the Cold War. While the
most significant element in the conflict was the dominant role of
the South African state in its pursuit of proxy wars to advance its
own regional interests, Alao argues that South Africa did not on
its own create the dissident movements or the conditions of
conflict. Pretoria had only to fine-tune some of the existing
movements to suit its own purposes. Based on much original
research, this book adds a new perspective to our understanding of
the formation of the main rebel movements, of their support bases
and their transformation into political parties, as well as
providing an important account of their relationship with the South
African state.
