Talk:Battle of Quifangondo

Death Road
The source I've cited indicates that "Nshila wa Lufu" literally means "Death Road", a phrase that subsequent to this battle, has become associated with Quifangondo. Please discuss here if you feel otherwise. Socrates2008 ( Talk  )   21:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Angolan decolonisation conflict 1974/75
Creating a separate 74-75 phase in the Angolan conflict is an artificial academic construct by one author, against the norm followed by other historians who correctly distitingush between two phases: the Angolan War of Independence and the Angolan civil war. It is certainly not for the lede, as it only confuses readers for two reasons: It is one or the other, it can't be both. Unfortunately the editor who made this change keeps repeating it elsewhere.

 * 1. the term "decolonisation" is historically associated with the struggles for independence, so in this case, the Angolan War of Independence;
 * 2. the text clearly says it is "the first battle in the Angolan Civil War", also identified as such in the infobox as "Part of The Angolan Civil War".
