Awesome post, as a portuguese i love to read about this, the sad part about the independece on Angola and Mozambique was that soon after both countries went into civil wars, in Mozambique it had alot to do with racial problems i belive.
Also, the portuguese war in Guiné-Bissau was much harder and bloodier than Mozanbique and Angola, it seems strange because Guiné is much smaller, but PAIGC (guerrilla movement of Guiné-Bissau) was very strong and had massive support from Soviet Union and Cuba, including anti-air Stella systems!
@gavvet, there is a myth story about the Cubans in Guiné-Bissau and other African contries, were Che Guevara himself was present in the fights, you should do a post on that ;)
Peace, Carlos
