Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law - 2002

Más información sobre el libro

The narrative centers on Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, a key figure in Angola's protracted civil war, who was killed in 2002 after decades of conflict against the government. Initially supported by the U.S. during the Cold War, Savimbi's refusal to embrace peace led to his isolation and the imposition of international sanctions. The war resulted in immense human suffering, with around one million deaths and millions displaced, crippling Angola's infrastructure and hindering post-independence reconstruction efforts. Savimbi's legacy is marked by ambition and the devastation of war.
