ANGOLA-CABINDA-WAR-INDEPENDENCE

Cabindan soldiers take part to the official ceremony of the proclamation of the independence of the "Republic of Cabinda" by the FLEC (Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda), in August 1975, forming a provisional government presided by Luiz Branque Franque. Cabinda, former Portuguese protectorate, fights for a separate independence from Angola during the decolonization process, following the declaration of Angolan independence in November 1975. Cabinda was invaded by forces of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), with the support of Cuban troops. (Photo by Bernard Loth / AFP) (Photo by BERNARD LOTH/AFP via Getty Images)
