And the most tragic and exasperating cat is that if the FPLA had accepted its electoral loss back then, not called for Soviet help which resulted in the massive airlift of Cuban and East German soldiers, this ugly civil war would've never happened.
Angloa could've been one of the wealthiest and more stable African countries a useful counterweight to what's happening in Zimbabwe. Together with South Africa, anglo would've been an influential country within the continent.
Frankly, nobody really won this war; let's hope that this experience moderates all the parties and leads them on the road to reconciliation and reconstruction. I don't want another Zimbabwe in waiting
