| Čoahkkáigeassu: | In March 1961, Custódio Abel Fernandes Ramos - administrator of the municipality of Carmona (Uíge) - witnessed the start of the armed struggle for Angolan independence on the ground. Tasked with narrating the events by the then Minister of Overseas Territories, Adriano Moreira, Custódio Ramos produced a detailed report consisting of more than a thousand pages of information on the first months of the nationalist insurrection promoted by the Union of the Peoples of Angola (UPA) in northwest Angola. In this report, Custódio Ramos not only diligently documented the facts surrounding the outbreak of the armed struggle, but also tried to interpret them in political and ideological terms, in the context of the Cold War, using the analytical and discursive methods typical of the Estado Novo. In this sense, the report, now published in a facsimile edition, is a precious and extremely relevant documentary source not only for reconstructing the historical facts themselves, but also for understanding the thinking and reaction of the Portuguese colonial administration in the first year of the war in Angola. |
