Communist Organization of Angola

The Communist Organization of Angola (Portuguese: Organização Comunista de Angola; OCA) was a communist party in Angola. OCA was founded in 1975 by the Amilcar Cabral Committees (Comités Amilcar Cabral; CAC). The CAC were founded in 1974 with a support base among the University of Luganda students and the urban poor, the partisans mostly being white, and acted inside the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). The CAC were excluded from the party in 1975. It opposed the MPLA government and what it called Soviet social-imperialism. It also called for withdrawal of Cuban troops.[1] OCA was suppressed by the government.[2]
