Fascinating photos of a little-known connection: Angolans, probably FNLA or UNITA, being trained in Tunisia. Did they leave the uniforms in Tunisia when they went home? Thank you @MedDhiaH for posting these & to @mininghistory for bringing to our attention.

Remembering Paulo Lara & the enormous contribution made by him & his sister Wanda to documenting the history of #Angola's anticolonial struggle. His generosity greatly enriched our own research project.

Interesting - we're all keen to find international connections in liberation history, but this is a timely reminder to check facts. tl;rl: Machel is in that photo, but not Putin nor Mnangagwa.
