Paper long abstract:

The ceasefire between the Portuguese armed forces and the Angolan liberation movements, in 1974, announced the future peace and national independence. The prediction of general elections for the following year led to the installation of movements in the colony. The clash between these movements was violent and started the civil war that devastated the country until 2002. But other disputes were present. The goal here is to discuss the opposition that was established from the ceasefire between "inside" and "outside". Among those who made the clandestine struggle or who did not fight and that remained in the guerrilla. The different political capital were used. Having participated in the guerrilla or been arrested along the anticolonial struggle became crucial factors in the competition for political and adminstrative positions.
