When the Soviet Union intervened in Angola during the mid-1970s, the conflict did not remain contained within national borders. Instead, it ignited a regional chain reaction that pulled neighboring states into a proxy war without clear front lines, transforming Central Africa into a zone of permanent instability shaped by insurgency, intervention, and deniable power projection.
This documentary examines how Soviet and Cuban support for the Angolan government altered the strategic balance across the region, enabling cross-border insurgencies into Zaire’s Shaba Province and entangling the Republic of the Congo in a widening Cold War confrontation. Through chronological analysis, it traces how proxy warfare dissolved sovereignty, forced repeated foreign interventions, and hollowed out fragile states without producing decisive victory for any side. Rather than a single conflict, this was a system of spillover warfare—one that outlived the Cold War itself and left behind weakened borders, militarized politics, and enduring insecurity across Central Africa.
