" .... to be an opportunity for various local "warlords(?)" to become dictators." And not only that, more often than not these "punk", so-called warlords had the clandestine backing of certain Western multinationals that provided this trash with the necessary financing to do their terrorist type activities, especially against white Colonials who were very much in the minority in terms of numbers. And these Multinationals were only too keen to have easily corruptible individuals at the helm of their countries because they could then far easier, and far cheaper, obtain access to the mineral and agricultural resources of those countries. This they could not easily do when the Colonials were running things because then you did things according to an enforced Rule of Law. If one takes oil rich Angola as an example ... Occidental Petroleum, a US multinational, operated within their Cabinda province pumping out their oil. And the irony of it was that the armed forces of the Communist Cubans were in Angola protecting them from the South African Defense Force who were out to get rid of the terrorist MPLA and SWAPO outfits who were carrying out their raids into what was then South West Africa (now Namibia) and killing innocent civilians as terrorist cowards tend to do, among other things. Another irony was the fact that no Western country was MORE ANTI-COMMUNIST than was South Africa. However, they got little, or no, support from the West when they went against Communist backed terrorists, as was the case with their support for Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), when South Africa supported the Rhodesians against the Russian backed ZAPU, and the Chinese backed ZANU terrorists ... All that South Africa got for their troubles was Mr. Kissinger telling the S.A. Prime Minister that if he did not stop supporting the Rhodesians, America would withdraw any support that they currently gave to South Africa .... Mr. Kissinger was about as anti-communist as was the CEO of Occidental Petroleum, Mr. Armand Hammer ..... en.wikipedia.org .... and " ... his close ties to the Soviet Union."
