Committee's Objective:
The Angolan Civil War Committee has been convened to prevent Angola from falling into a prolonged and destructive civil war in the wake of its independence. Delegates will work to address the political collapse of the Alvor Agreement, the growing rivalry between the MPLA, FNLA, and UNITA, and the increasing involvement of foreign powers. The committee is primarily focused on developing realistic and historically grounded strategies that could stabilize the country and provide lasting peace for Angolans.
In the Angolan Civil War Committee, delegates will:
• Analyze the relationships between Angola's political factions (MPLA, FNLA and UNITA) and external actors (Cuba, the USSR, the US, Zaire, South Africa)
• Propose viable diplomatic and political solutions to prevent the outbreak or escalation of conflict
• Debate the extent and limits of foreign involvement in Angola's internal affairs
• Design governance models that promote national unity, stability, and inclusivity
