1977 Angolan Coup D'état Attempt
The 1977 Angolan coup d'état attempt was a failed attempt by the Angolan interior minister Nito Alves to overthrow the government of Agostinho Neto. It took place on May 27. Background By the late 1970s, Alves had become a powerful member of the government and the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). He had successfully put down Daniel Chipenda's Eastern Revolt and the Active Revolt during the War of Independence. By 1975, factionalism within the MPLA had become a major challenge to Neto's power and so Neto gave Alves the task of once again clamping down on dissent. Alves shut down the Cabral and Henda Committees and expanded his influence within the MPLA through his control of the nation's newspapers and state-run television. He visited the Soviet Union in October 1976, and may have obtained Soviet support for a ''coup'' against Neto. By the time he returned, Neto had grown suspicious of Alves' growing power and sought to neutralize him and his fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
