Nigeria supported the MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola) during the Angolan War of Independence. This was because Nigeria, under the leadership of Nnamdi Azikiwe and later other leaders, was committed to supporting liberation movements across Africa, particularly those fighting against colonial rule and apartheid.
The MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola) was a Marxist political party and armed liberation movement that played a significant role in the fight for independence from Portuguese colonial rule.
A. UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola): A rebel group in Angola that opposed MPLA, supported by Western powers during the Cold War.
C. FNLA (National Front for the Liberation of Angola): Another opposition group during the Angolan civil war, but not supported by Nigeria.
D. SWAPO (South West Africa People's Organization): This group fought for the independence of Namibia, not Angola.
