Dear Bernado, I am learning so much from you today! "Forced decolonization"---that is such a lovely phrase! It implies that the colonies should not have been decolonized, would not have been decolonized, could not have been decolonized, unless some stupid fool idiot people had forced the colonizers to finally decolonize what they should not have colonized in the first place! So many accidents of history, to complicate our understanding of history! In this interesting post, are you also saying that Frelimo fighters and other African freedom seekers, once they got their own freedom, moved to shanty towns around Lisbon, and thousands of them died in the civil war in Portugal? Was there a civil war in Portugal? Of course there was! The War of the Carnations! We, the people of Bharat, eagerly await your next post. Regards, Victor

Many of the Frelimo, Renamo, MPLA, UNITA, Holden Roberto, PAIGC went to live in the shanty towns around Amadora - Lisbon. Countless died in the civil war. Who enjoyed at the end were the bloody Russians, as they are now doing in Goa. BC
