Angola Leaders Share Christian Roots Amid Civil War
Veteran mission workers note all three independence leaders Holden Roberto Agostinho Neto and Jonas Savimbi come from devout Protestant families and were educated in mission schools. They led rival groups FNLA MPLA and UNITA backed by foreign powers while Angolan society remains largely Christian. Churches have funded aid but may need to overhaul roles as each side seeks control of schools and health facilities.
