Quick Summary

The National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) was one of the three main groups that fought for Angola's independence from Portugal, beginning in the 1960s. Its leader, Holden Roberto, was a significant figure in the independence movement. The FNLA was often in conflict with other liberation movements, particularly the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). While the FNLA was a key player in the struggle for independence, it eventually withdrew from the conflict in the late 1970s. The FNLA is recognized as a political party in Angola's political landscape.123
