在分析1977年至1978年的沙巴战争中，总部位于安哥拉的加丹加叛军入侵并破坏了扎伊尔的稳定，本文分析了当地部队，民族国家和更广泛的冷战之间的复杂互动。以及进行这些入侵的刚果（FLNC）的民族解放阵线的案例研究，本文旨在提供新的理解的方式，在同时代的冷战的主角和随后的历史学家往往未能理解的潜在动机的地方势力的冲突中存在的问题关系，以更广泛的冷战。
In analysing the Shaba wars of 1977–78, in which Angola-based Katangese rebels invaded and destabilised Zaire, this article analyses the complex interaction between local forces, national states and the wider Cold War in Africa. As well as a case study of the National Front for the Liberation of Congo (FLNC) which carried out these invasions, the article seeks to provide new understanding of the ways in which both contemporaneous Cold War protagonists and subsequent historians have often failed to understand the underlying motivations of local forces which fought in conflicts that existed in problematic relationship to the wider Cold War.
