Back to Angola | The "Road of Death" – From Menongue to Cuito, Relics of the Bush War

Along the remote Angolan route between Menongue and Cuito Cuanavale lies a haunting reminder of a long and costly conflict. Once the lifeline for advancing forces, this stretch of terrain became known as the "Road of Death," littered with the rusting remains of tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and logistics vehicles struck during South African Air Force attacks. Veterans returning decades later encounter the silent witnesses of the Bush War, where columns once moved under constant threat and supply convoys faced relentless pressure from both ground and air. This journey offers a poignant reflection on the human cost of prolonged warfare and the enduring scars left on the land. The wreckage, now reclaimed by nature, stands as a testament to endurance, loss, and the passage of time.
