African wild dogs have been documented in the south of the CAR in the Chinko/Mbari drainage basin in 2013. History The Bandia clan separated from the Abaza clan in ...

Fala River
The Armed Forces of the Liberation of Angola ( pt, Forças Armadas de Libertação de Angola) or FALA was the armed wing of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), a prominent political faction during the Angolan Civil War.
