Angolan History: Support and Supplies
This information made up one appendix in my IB Historical Investigation and is a summary of a very important aspect of the war. Where did the sides of the conflict get get their weapons, money and technical expertise. The list may not be, and probably is not, complete but it lists a few sources. Also note that the list was drawn up for my own purposes, in my private notes, and is shared here only in that form.

Notes
(1) My own Summary of Evidence mentions direct payments to UNITA before the elections, moral support in the time span around the elections and the lending of equipment to UNITA after the outbreak of war (specifically, satellite communication system). Between 1992 and 2000, UNITA has been known to use American Stinger rocket systems to fire at UN planes. This implies that the US continued supplies to UNITA for a very long time. US have also been known to train UNITA soldiers.

(2) This was suggested by Richard Cornwall of the Pretoria-based institute of Security Studies, and supported by several ambassadors in Luanda.

(3) Unconfirmed.
