安哥拉内戰

安哥拉内戰，安哥拉呢場內戰經歷二十六年有多，一九七五年打到二〇〇二年，場場屠殺，非常血腥。安哥拉各族複雜，史上北部屬古剛果國，加上礦產豐富，北有石油，南有鑽石，又逢世界冷戰，各國推波助瀾。就算冷戰結束，有錢公司支持，鑽石換軍火，軍火無斷，因而打咗咁耐。另外亦有分離運動，石油豐富地方，安哥拉亦唔會放手。

內戰為安哥拉獨立戰爭後續。一九七四年葡萄牙康乃馨革命，新左翼政府放棄所有殖民地，打算結束四百年統冶，畀安哥拉獨立。故此一九七四年戰爭已完，一九七五年一月決定十一月十一號獨立，又打算十月開大會，而呢個會葡萄牙唔理分離運動，亦無打算畀白人參加。期間絕唔太平，已有內戰前奏，葡萄牙軍方厭戰，亦無心維持和平，八月十二號撤走所有安哥拉葡人，留低個空殼，毫無交接畀任何一方。十月南非派兵入安國南疆。十一月十號，葡國全撤。十一號，宣佈成立安哥拉人民共和國，結果無人滿意，內戰正式爆發。

內戰基本上有兩派人，反殖民遊擊隊，安哥拉人民解放運動，以及安哥拉徹底獨立全國聯盟，可謂蘇聯同美國冷戰時期代理戰，前者本屬共產陣營，掌安哥拉人民共和國，有過古巴派兵，後者自由陣營，掌安哥拉民主人民共和國，有過南非派兵。另外重有第三方，安哥拉民族解放陣線，之不過起首有過優勢就失勢，餘黨亦無乜作為，靠近全國聯盟。戰事亦涉及鄰國。

一九九一年蘇聯解體，冷戰完。一九九二年停戰選舉，解放運動放棄共產主義並得勝，國號改成安哥拉共和國。軍隊亦變成政府軍。全國聯盟重起內戰，美國唔支持佢，至終失利，但要到領袖二〇〇二年死，內戰先完。
