	Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MPLA was founded in December 1956, through the fusion of Party of the United Struggle for Africans in Angola (PLUA) and the Angolan Communist Party (PCA).
		The MPLA's core base includes the Kimbundu ethnic group and the mixed-race intelligentsia of the capital city, Luanda.
		The armed wing of MPLA was FAPLA (Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola).

		In 1964 the MPLA reorganized and increased its efforts to reinforce its units fighting in the Dembos areas.
		The growing military success of the MPLA in the mid-1960s was largely the product of support from the governments of Tanzania and Zambia, which permitted the organization to open offices in their capitals.
		After the MPLA moved its headquarters to Lusaka, Zambia, in 1968, it conducted intensive guerrilla warfare in the Angolan provinces of Moxico and Cuando Cubango.

		Meanwhile the MPLA was able to run a campaign of inclusion, welcoming Fernandes and fellow dissident Miguel N'zau Puna – who had left UNITA accusing Savimbi of secretly planning to return to war if he lost – into the party.
		MPLA and Cuban forces defeated the separatists, who have since operated a low intensity guerrilla war, including abduction of expatriate oil, construction and timber workers.
		The change in the MPLA's priorities was signalled once and for all in December 1995 when Angola controversially failed to vote in the UN General Assembly against the US's blockade of Cuba, infuriating President Fidel Castro.

		The MPLA is an offshoot of the Angolan Communist Party (PCA), which itself was established in October 1955 as an offshoot of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP).
		His first job in the MPLA was to return to eastern Angola as a political educator to prepare the village people for the armed struggle that was about to open up there.
		The MPLA was not against religion, only the obscurantism, witchcraft, and tribal customs that were used by the Portuguese and their local allies to hurt the people.

	JONAS MALHEIRO SAVIMBI
		These, too, had tribal bases (the MPLA were mostly Mbundu and the FNLA Bakongo) but their tribalism was diluted by a modicum of urbanity and, too, by Marxism-Leninism, with its fraternal this and that.
		The MPLA was strictly a Marxist-Leninist movement with a non-starter economic policy and, as time went on, a penchant for self-enrichment.
		Savimbi, meanwhile, could argue that the MPLA was the brutal agent of Communist domination he had always said it was, not only over his own people, who were being bombed and displaced by the campaigning, and often horribly abused, but over the region as a whole.

		The misconduct of the MPLA Government throughout the process of implementation of the Lusaka Protocol demonstrated that its main priority was to destroy UNITA and not to promote national reconciliation.
		Further, the MPLA publicly declared war on the true UNITA during the opening of the MPLA 4th Congress on 5th December 1998.

		The combined forces of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), and the National Union for the Total Independence succeeded in their struggle in removing the Portuguese colonial government in April, 1974 (Dept. Of State 3).

		With the lack of an agreement between the MPLA and UNITA on control of the diamond territory, mining in the Lunda is open to whichever group has the superior firepower.

		Under the slogan "peace without democracy is a fantasy", the Campaign for a Democratic Angola argued that in two years of peace, President Jose Eduardo dos Santos' government had done little to improve the lives of Angola's 13 million people, many of whom live in dire poverty.
		However, the MPLA on Thursday argued that it was unwise to rush through a ballot without laying the proper foundations.
		Among the jobs still to be done were the adoption of a national agenda that would take the country through the next 25 years, as well as the more immediate concerns of establishing basic administrative functions in remote areas, and resettling and registering the returning displaced population.
