Cuban Troops Boost MPLA in Angola Civil War
About 1,000 Cuban combat troops were flown into Luanda to bolster the Soviet backed MPLA army in Angola. Additional Cuban infantrymen and advisers have arrived in recent weeks to press a northern offensive toward Carmona while FNLA forces press Luanda from the north. The MPLA faces heavy fighting with FNLA and UNITA factions as it mobilizes supporters aged 18 to 35.
