The truth is available to even the blind man on the streets in our North East frontiers! That truth is reflected in the FREEDOM and palpable celebrations in the NE typified by the high PRAISES being showered on NA warriors on the ground!

I understand you are hurt. Some theraphy from your heavy duty magosha in Tembisa will help. Hopefully you don't contact HIV.

For the fact that they have hired the old and aging POLICE SQUAD/Koevoet says it all about their army.
there are many Koevoet Cripples in SA and Namiba am sure they will get contracts as well.
51-70+ years in warfare....

The truth is GEJ has laid a BAD PRECEDENT for Nigeria by hiring SA(old apartheid era police unit/koevoet),Ukraine,French etc..mercenaries to fight a war in NE Nigeria. Especially for a country like Nigeria that has a history of coups. For me this was a DUMB MOVE and proved right what ya'll have been saying here. That AN are weak and their weaponry is INFERIOR.

Honestly speaking he should have bought weapons from SA and elsewhere and allowed foreign troops to come and train their weak Nigerian army.
after the elections am sure the losers will be tempted to bring their own mercenaries. Watch this space. Note: Mercenaries will go the highest bidder. we might see em making a U TURN and fighting for any highest bidder including fighting against the Nigerian army for anyone. MONEY talks with these mercenaries, hence I said he laid a bad PRECENDENT for Nigeria.

SANDF and other top African countries do get military training from US and Israel from time to time.

The sad part is someone in future will use the same GEJ tactic to remove someone from power/presidency.

How did bokoharam get Nigerian Army weapons?
Go ahead and answer that....

The president is from that oil corner he was selected by the WEST and is a WESTERN STOOGE hence he supports them in UN. Nigeria supported US,UK against Palenstines freedom.

some have been sucking British balls since the ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE 1500-1860 then COLONIZATION 1860-1960 till now 2015. the small 10 cm British dick is still in their asses....

Am sorry my views on terrorrism aren't shaped by PROPAGANDA from the west. I can see you're a victim of CNN and BBC's white supremist views on world order. The west/whites have the birth right to rule the world...using wars and religion to control non whites.

If u think Koevoet apartheid era police was special why are they in SA, Angolan,Namibia and Mozambiquen jails.. they lost the war and were JAILED. Am sure Boko Haram will use them for BEHEADING VIDEOS SOON. one by one they're telling the TRUTH NOW. They're squizzed to tell all the evils of the past, so that we people who were born in 1990s know our hidden enemies like GEJ the puppet of white supremacy who descend from those who sold Africans to ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE.

NELSON MANDELA ONCE SAID I HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST BLACK AND WHITE DOMINATION...By now we know what he meant by BLACK DOMINATION (Blacks who are used by the WEST like CONDOMS, were them now and chuck em away later). GEJ is one of these blacks.

FOR ME GOODLUCK JONATHAN IS RE-WRITING HISTORY IN AFRICA AND PROVING THAT WESTERN SPIES STILL EXIST IN AFRICA. His actions say it all. The only seating president who has employed APARTHEID ERA COPS/Koevoet TO FIGHT A WAR AGAINST BOKO HARAM.

Hence I say hes a ZIONIST and stands to gain FOKOL from his political and religious beliefs..
The west have shown him many times that they don't believe in him, but he keeps behaving lika ugly girl who keeps throwing herself on handsome guys.

REAL JEWS AREN'T ZIONISTS....as Einstein said. REAL JEWS BELIEVE IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE. Am talking of real Jews not Jews wannabes.

I live in Bloemfontein and have Cameroonian,Gabonese,Zimbo etc..friends and even few Nigerian Yoruba and Ogoni friends. From what I learnt from my Nigerian friends is that SE Nigerians are dodgy people are spineless. I researched this and even went as far as reading about ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE and realized they're right. They even went as far as describing how you people behave. I have been able to pick up some of the things these guys mentioned about different behaviours of Nigerians. The likes of u and All4naija,Adamskuty took the cake and behaved like FLAT HEADS as these guys call u.


You messed up on SA history, I know most Nigerian army generals and politicians know this fact below. Actually I knew about this info below after reading about Obasanjo and Mbeki friendship true brothers from different countries.

[b]The First Defeat of South Africa, 1975–1976

The anticolonial struggle in Angola, which led to the 1974 coup in Portugal, was a turning point for Southern Africa. South Africa intervened with CIA support by land, sea, and air to stop the MPLA from coming to power. The Angolans asked for Cuban help to defeat the invasion led by South Africans, Zairian regulars, and CIA mercenaries. The South African invasion was turned back outside Luanda. South Africa never accepted its defeat; the 1987–1988 siege of Cuito Cuanavale was only the most recent in a number of stages in the ensuing military buildup. But the 1976 defeat at Luanda, and that in Mozambique a year earlier, also inspired the generation that was maturing in the South African townships. The 1976 Soweto uprisings and their aftermath formed an important watershed in the militarization of the state and society in Southern Africa.

It was after the first defeat in Angola and the uprisings in Soweto that the generals of the SADF formulated the “Total Strategy,” a multidimensional preparation for war, involving a political strategy (the support of dissident groups to oppose liberation movements all over the region); an economic strategy (creating dependence on South African transport, communications, air traffic, rails, harbors, agriculture, mining equipment—in effect, ensuring that the region remain open to South African capital); psychological warfare (promoting the idea that Africans cannot rule themselves, that Africans are inferior); and a military strategy. Their intention was to have the Total Strategy be primarily political, economic, and psychological, making the military effort secondary.

After the defeat in Angola and the uprisings in Soweto, a number of stages led up to the South African humiliation at Cuito Cuanavale.

The War in 1976–1980

In this period, the South Africans were on the defensive politically and diplomatically, but were staging a massive military buildup in Namibia. They began conscription, constructed new military bases, and made raids against the Southwest African People’s Organization (SWAPO), which had moved its headquarters to Luanda from Dar es Salaam after 1976. Thousands of youths dodged conscription in the tribal regiments and joined SWAPO.

It was at this point that the South Africans organized UNITA, which had previously been wandering in Angola without a clear mission. The role of UNITA changed drastically when the Carter administration persuaded the Chinese to give it 800 tons of weapons. This kind of weaponry enabled UNITA to wage conventional war; its officers were trained in Morocco, and it was thoroughly integrated into the military strategy of the SADF. This was a strange twist of history, for UNITA got its first weapons from SWAPO, to fight against the Portuguese. UNITA was now used to track SWAPO while the South African air force bombed its concentrations in Angola. It was in one such raid that the South Africans carried out the Kassinga massacre, in which over 800 people were killed at a SWAPO refugee camp in 1978. The ensuing international outcry led to the adoption of UN Resolution 435 in 1978, detailing steps leading to the independence of Namibia: briefly, the withdrawal of South African troops, the return of Namibian refugees, UN-supervised elections, and the “granting” of independence.

Phase Two: 1981–1984

The 1980 Republican electoral victory in the United States emboldened the South African government. Washington and Pretoria vowed that there should be no red flag over Windhoek. In this climate, the South Africans began a major conventional war in Angola, and the United States developed its policy of “constructive engagement and linkage.” In simple terms, this policy was a way for the South Africans to buy time to deepen apartheid structures in Namibia while Chester Crocker used the international media to divert attention from South African atrocities by linking the independence of Namibia to the withdrawal of the Cubans from Angola.

From 1981 to 1988, the SADF occupied the provinces of Cunene and Cuando Cubango in Angola. FAPLA, the Angolan army, was not prepared for this massive invasion of over 11,000 troops with the most sophisticated artillery pieces available. The South African command closely coordinated its air force and army. If the army found resistance, the air arm came in with surgical bombing strikes and then the ground troops moved forward. The provincial capital of Ngiva was sacked. Over 100,000 peasants fled their homes. The southern provinces of Angola were occupied until December of 1981, and the SADF did not withdraw even after the UN Resolution condemning the invasion. The SADF used this occupation to put elements of UNITA in place on the Namibian-Angolan border.

A major South African objective was to destabilize Angola so that the reconstruction of its economy would be postponed. UNITA carried out attacks on economic targets, especially railways, and kidnapped expatriate workers. UNITA’s headquarters was moved to Jamba, near the Namibian border, in order to be more closely integrated into the South African command structure.
[/b]
The Lusaka Accord of 1984

The next major South African invasion took place in August 1983. Here UNITA announced it had taken Cangamba. The South African air force destroyed it and turned the rubble over to UNITA to show off to journalists flown in from Zambia. South Africa wanted UNITA to take Cuvelai so that the front of the war could be driven northward. Its self-confidence was heightened by the invasion of Grenada, when anticommunist rhetoric in the United States reached an incredible peak. The South African government intended an all-out attack on Luanda, the capital of Angola. This was a case in which operational objectives were confused with the political rhetoric of anticommunism. The South African generals said that it was operationally impossible to take Luanda, but the Magnus Malan faction within the State Security Council wanted to intensify the war. The Angolans were getting more experienced, and the South Africans’ Operation Askari failed. This failure led the United States to intercede on behalf of South African troops encircled in Angola. The resulting accord was named after the Zambian capital, Lusaka. It set up a joint military commission to oversee the withdrawal of South African troops.

South Africa was increasingly caught in a complex contradiction. The conscription of blacks into its armed forces was limited by the racism of the white ruling class. The army, therefore, had to be mainly white, and the domestic labor force to be mainly black. But black factory workers knew they were producing weapons to be used against their sisters, brothers, and children, and they resisted. Only an end to racist practices could have resolved the military dilemma of the whites, but in that event there would be no political dilemma remaining to be resolved by military means. This fact should be uppermost in the minds of those who want to conceptualize the nature of the military in South Africa after apartheid.

The Third Period: 1984–1987

In September, FAPLA forces started to drive against Jamba, near the Namibian border. South Africa intervened, but with the uprisings in the townships it could not carry the battle and called upon the United States to help. The United States supplied Stinger missiles to UNITA and $15 million additional aid. UNITA itself lacked the administrative and military infrastructure to manage this assistance, which in fact went indirectly to the South Africans. During the siege of Cuito Cuanavale, Savimbi complained that the South Africans worked out the cost of the battle and told him he had to “ask his friends to pay.” The United States also reactivated the base at Kamina in Zaire, where the CIA was dropping supplies for the South Africans via UNITA. The U.S. support for UNITA, and in essence the SADF, led to the final stage of the war.

The Defeat of the SADF

Operation Modular Hooper was launched to seize Menongue and set up a provisional UNITA government as a pretext for increased U.S. support. Building the roads and transporting heavy equipment for over 9,000 SADF regulars took six months.

The Angolans launched an offensive against Savimbi’s base areas in southeastern Angola, and the battle at the Lomba River was the preamble to the big battle at Cuito Cuanavale, where the Angolans decided to set up a defensive line. The SADF started its siege in November of 1987. When they faced stiff resistance from the Angolans, the operational command of the SADF broke down. It was at this point that President Botha had to boost the morale of his troops in person. This visit prompted the fortification of the Angolan position by the Cubans, who had been out of direct fighting since 1981. The Cuban command calculated that if the FAPLA defensive line broke the Cuban forces themselves would be threatened. The siege of Cuito Cuanavale now involved all the combatants of the Angolan theater of the war: the Angolans, the Cubans, SWAPO, and the ANC on one side; and the SADF, the Americans, and UNITA on the other.

Supported by radar on the ground, Angolan and Cuban MiG 23s proved superior to the South African Air Force. With its air force grounded and its tanks stopped by mines and difficult terrain, the besieging force was reduced to shelling Cuito Cuanavale at long range for three months. In major ground battles in January, February, and March, the South Africans failed to take it.

By the time of the March attack, the conditions of battle had begun to turn against the SADF. First there was a mutiny by the conscripted troops of the Southwest African Territorial Force. The South Africans were racist even in military tactics, and placed black troops in front of the white troops to bear the brunt of the fighting. Second, the heavy equipment bogged down on the eastern bank of the Cuito during the rainy season. Most important, without air support, the South Africans were outgunned by the Angolans. By the end of March the South African siege was over and the South Africans themselves were trapped and under siege.

[b]The war became more and more unpopular in South Africa when young whites began coming home in body bags. This intensified the End Conscription campaign in South Africa and forced the South Africans to take steps leading to the talks among the principal combatants: the Angolans, the Cubans, the South Africans, and the United States. (It is important to see the United States as a combatant, and not as a peacemaker, as the Western media have suggested.) So confident were the Cubans and Angolans after repulsing the South Africans that in the space of two months they built two airfields to consolidate their control of the southern provinces. At this point the United States attempted to open a new front in the north with UNITA. The calculation was that as long as UNITA was integrated into the SADF there would be little popular support for it in the United States. The U.S. military carried out exercises called Operation Flintlock in May to drop supplies for UNITA, hoping to relieve the trapped South African forces.

The reversal of the South Africans’ military fortunes was sealed at Tchipa on June 27, 1988. Here the SADF tried to open a new front to relieve the troops trapped at Cuito Cuanavale. In this decisive battle, the FAPLA forces confirmed their air superiority. When the news of their defeat at Calueque Dam reached South Africa, more young whites protested against the draft. One South African newspaper called the battle of Tchipa “a crushing humiliation.” It said, “The SADF resembled the trenches of the Somme, rather than the troops of a mobile counterinsurgency force.”

[b]The Conference Table

The talks and jockeying about the independence in Namibia should be seen as an attempt to win at the conference table what South Africa had lost in battle. But in reality the South Africans had only two genuine choices: to negotiate a capitulation or to surrender openly. The siege of Cuito Cuanavale ended after the SADF agreed to withdraw from Namibia. There was dithering at the diplomatic level as the prime minister of South Africa tried to get Zaire to continue the war, the Americans tried through third parties to pressure Angola to form a government of national unity with UNITA, and the Western press tried to link the South African retreat to the withdrawal of the Cuban troops from Angola. The United States has since used its influence in the UN Security Council to water down Resolution 435 by limiting the deployment of UN troops in Namibia. At the same time, the South Africans are deploying former commandos of Koevet, a death squad-type organization, in an attempt to prevent a massive victory by SWAPO. But the siege of Cuito Cuanavale was a turning point in the process of militarization in Africa. It opened the way for the genuine decolonization of Namibia.[/b] this article is found all over Black American universities Howard and others..even at Harvard university. its a pity that HATE CAN BE BLINDING.

The Military Defeat of the South Africans in Angola
by Horace Campbell
topics: History places: Africa, Angola

Horace Campbell is Professor of African American Studies and Political Science at Syracuse University. He is the author of Global NATO and the Catastrophic Failure in Libya: Lessons for Africa in the Forging of African Unity (Monthly Review Press, forthcoming), as well as Rasta and Resistance: From Marcus Garvey to Walter Rodney (1987) and Barack Obama and 21st Century Politics: A Revolutionary Moment in the USA (2010).

In Angola in the spring of 1988 the armed forces of apartheid South Africa and the US-backed mercenaries of Jonas Savimbi were defeated by the combined force of the Cuban military, the Angolan army, and the military units of the liberation movements of South Africa and Namibia. This led directly to the independence of Namibia and then to the fall of the apartheid regime in South Africa itself. Cuba’s heroic role is the outstanding example of principled anti-imperialist internationalism in the last decades of the twentieth century. (See a map of Angola below.)

We celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of these events by reprinting the account by Horace Campbell that appeared in Monthly Review in April 1989, with some pride at having published so sharp an analysis of current events—events largely ignored by the mass media then and since. We then present a military-focused historical analysis by Monthly Review Press author Ronnie Kasrils, who had the extraordinary fate to have headed ANC military intelligence in the battle alongside the Cubans, and then to have served for five years as Deputy Minister of Defense in the post-apartheid South African government—in regular contact with officers who had commanded the opposing forces. —The Editors

The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale and Cuba's Role in the Defeat of Apartheid (apart-hate)

With Cuban reinforcements, the Angolans withstood major assaults on 23 January, 25 February and 23 March. The Boars were repulsed with heavy losses, and the Angolan and Cuban forces seized the military initiative. This initiative changed the military, political, and diplomatic balance in the region. The SADF had become emboldened to embark on a massive destabilization of Southern Africa After the coming to power of the Reagan administration in 1981 and the encouragement and attempted enforcement of the principles of “constructive engagement,”. This constructive engagement was about destabilization of the Southern regions, in the form of a low-intensity war in Mozambique and an open, conventional war in Angola. There was a counterinsurgency war against the Namibian peoples, and in Azania itself the troops of the SADF occupied the African township. The SADF was overstretched and its offensive in Angola brought to the forefront the limitations of an army fighting without moral support at home and abroad.
——————————————————————

The Cuban and Angolan forces were aligned with the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa and the South West African Peoples Organization (SWAPO) of Namibia. For the first time since 1981, the Angolan army was able to reoccupy the area adjacent to Namibia. So confident were the Angolans and Cubans that in the space of less than three months they built two airstrips to consolidate their recapture of the southern province of Cunene. Trapped by the rainy season, bogged down by the terrain, and encircled, the South Africans made one desperate attempt to break out on 27 June and were again defeated. One South African newspaper called the defeat “a crushing humiliation.” The Cuban and Angolan forces were aligned with the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa and the South West African Peoples Organization (SWAPO) of Namibia.

Failing to take Cuito Cuanavale with over 9,000 soldiers, even after announcing that it had done so, losing air superiority, and faced with mutinies among enlisted “knee-grow” troops and a high casualty rate among Anglo-Saxons, the the government of the settler invaders reached such a desperate situation that President Botha had to fly to the war zone when the operational command of the SADF broke down.

The wars were followed by diplomatic initiatives that the settler invaders had previously been able to block. After the 23 March reversals at Cuito Cuanavale, the Boars started talks that culminated in the 22 December agreement on the implementation of Resolution 435 of the Security Council of the United Nations, laying the steps for the recovery of the independence of Namibia. A year later, in the February 1990, the government of the settler invaders released Nelson Mandel and unbanned the African National Congress (ANC) and the other liberation movements in South Africa. In 2007, the Angolan president paid homage to the more than 300,000 Cuban troops and nearly 50,000 civilian internationalists who have performed service in that African nation. In 1976, Cuban troops were decisive in defeating US-backed troops and South African forces posed against full Angolan independence.



————————————————————————————-

Jonas Savimbi: Judas in the bush

The withdrawal of the SADF from Angola did not end the war. The army of UNITA continued fighting. There was a peace accord in 1991 leading to elections in September 1992. The party of UNITA lost the elections and returned to war. Twelve years after Cuito Cuanavale the Angolan society was still mired in warfare. And they would not see any true resolution as long as America Inc. and it’s European sister countries and the UN continued to use “Judas” Savimbi as an agent of destabilization and prevention of true African democracy and liberation in Angola. Since winning its sovereignty, Angola’s economy had undergone a period of transformation, moving from the disarray caused by a quarter century of civil war to being the fastest growing economy in Africa and one of the fastest in the world. Growth in the country almost entirely driven by rising oil production, which is close 2 million barrels per day. Control in that oil industry is consolidated in a conglomerate that is owned by the Angolan government.



Jonas Savimbi inserted himself into the Angolan political scene in the late sixties as an anti colonialist crusader. Failing to outsmart his rivals and grasp power when the colonial masters left in 1975, Savimbi and his followers went into the bush to wage war against the MPLA government then led by Dr. Neto. The war was later to transform Savimbi into Africa’s great traitor (he allied himself with Apartheid South Africa), and a psychopathic butcher. Savimbi is largely to blame for the perpetuation of the Angolan civil war. He rejected the results of free and fair elections organized by the international community in 1992 because he was the loser. He violated the Lusaka accord of 1995 and rejected the post of Vice president offered to him by Dos Santos (Angolan president). In 1996. Savimbi placed obstacles on every negotiation and invented all the excuses to justify his preference for the rule of the gun. In effect, he realized that he could protect his selfish interests better when his country was at war than at peacetime. Savimbi was not only a warlord. He was a bandit and an outlaw heading a criminal organization that depended on what the United Nations termed “Conflict Diamonds” for survival.



According to a 1999 BBC News Online report, Angola has the greatest concentration of land mines in the world. The 15 million land mines (one mine to every Angolan) scattered all over the country effectively render a third of the land unusable. There are 70,000 Angolans believed to have lost limbs to land mines, and close to a million that have perished due to the war. Angola is a country with close to 4 million internally displaced people many of whom are homeless. Savimbi ran the part of the country under his control as a personal fiefdom and profited from that to loot diamonds and sell. The U.K. based Global Witness Ltd. reported that diamond production generated $ 3.7 billion in revenue for Savimbi’s UNITA between 1992 and 1998. This represented 60-70% of Angola’s total diamond production.



He was sponsored by the CIA in the seventies to counter Soviet influence on the continent. In the eighties, Ronald Reagan embraced him as ‘friend’ and ‘freedom fighter’ as well as a thief and murderer in the nineties. It was only when his excess soon became such an embarrassment then America Inc.’s ‘friend’ caused a policy review paving the way for the Clinton administration to recognize the government of José Eduardo Dos Santos. Savimbi’s UNITA is currently suspected of having shady diamond deals with Al Qaeda. The government in Washington was working hard to confirm the Al Qaeda link as an excuse to justify shedding, for their departed former comrade.





The death of Jonas Savimbi in 2002 was seriously welcomed with joy by the teeming millions of Angola’s wasted generation and proponents of African liberation. After 26 years of civil war the people hoped that the U.S. government and all those involved in the genesis of the Angolan saga would continue to keep their pilfering hands of Africa and the people use this opportunity to find a lasting peace. Unfortunately stories like the movie Blood Diamonds tell a more realistic story of Multinationals and big corporations popping up in the background of poor mineral rich countries or those with strategic geo-political use.
