Angolan Refugees in Zambia

African Perspective

Available for over a year

A familiar pattern emerged during the Angolan civil war saw government forces capture a local area and distribute weapons to civilians, turning them into a military target in the eyes of UNITA. Then the government forces left, abandoning the civilians to their fate and advising them to go as refugees to Zambia. Refugees explain their experiences of the Angolan civil war.
