RE: Africa's forgotten cold war - The Angolan War of Independence transitions to the Angolan Civil War

I guess that is the problem with fighting for independence.
You have many faction groups working together to defeat one enemy and when that common enemy disappears then factional violence occurs driving the country apart.
Plunging it into civil war.
Then you have of course the US and USSR delving into another proxy war trying to spread their influence.
