Angola has been embroiled in internal conflict since 1975. Yet
despite countless casualties, two million displaced people and over
500,000 refugees, Western media have paid scant attention. This
account provides an outline of key events and figures in recent
Angolan history, offering first-hand reportage of how the
revolution was deliberately derailed and the fabric of Angola
systematically destroyed. Victoria Brittain describes the bombings
and sabotage following Angola's invasion by South Africa in 1975
and examines the subsequent deployment of Cuban troops and the
Soviet-supported MPLA's confrontations with a militia backed by the
US, Morocco and Zaire. She looks at how Savimba's UNITA movement
became a formidable army, and reveals his regime in Angola to be as
brutal as the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. The author argues that the
terrorism of thousands of people and their human rights violations
have been largely hidden from the world by US-driven propaganda
portraying Savimbi as a democrat.
