So you think Communists are not at work in Africa?

Of course they were. I am refering to the 50's and 60's where Vietnam was the confluence of a power struggle of indidual agendas for influence between The Soviet Union, China, and USA.

Africa is and was a mere sideshow compared to that. Communists have been at work virtually everywhere around the globe. But Vietnam was the place where a stand was taken by the major powers. Not Africa. Just look at Angola for example.

The hippies never could explain the Cuban troops in Angola, especially if you asked them what threat Angola was to Cuba.
