WHAT kind of atmosphere would you expect to find when Portugal take on Angola?

It’s only 31 years since the last Portuguese troops left the southern African country, bringing to an end 500 years of brutal colonial occupation. By the mid 19th century the Portuguese had sold up to four million Angolans into slavery, and it is estimated that half a million Angolans died in the war of liberation between 1961 and 1975.
