The Battle of Quifangondo (popularly known in Angola as Nshila wa Lufu, or Battle of Death Road) was fought on 10 November 1975, near the strategic settlement of Quifangondo, Luanda Province, between the People's Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola (FAPLA), armed wing of the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), and the (ELNA), armed wing of the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA). The engagement was notable for marking the first major deployment of rocket artillery in the Angolan Civil War, as well as the last serious attempt by ELNA forces to seize Luanda, the Angolan capital. It occurred on the last day of Portuguese colonial rule in the country, which formally received independence only hours after the fighting.

  • Bitwa pod Quifangondo – starcie zbrojne, które miało miejsce w roku 1975. W roku 1975 dowódca FNLA (Narodowa Armia Wyzwolenia Angoli) Holden Roberto podjął decyzję o ataku na Luandę, drogą wzdłuż wybrzeża. Nadmorska droga biegła do jedynego mostu na rzece Bengo trzykilometrową groblą przecinającą bagna (dolina Quifangondo). Do pierwszego ataku na Quifangondo doszło 23 października 1975. Atak sił FNLA został jednak odparty przez siły MPLA (Ludowy Ruch Wyzwolenia Angoli – Partia Pracy) wspierane przez Kubańczyków. (pl)
  • A Batalha de Quifangondo (popularmente conhecida em Angola como Nshila wa Lufu, ou Batalha da Estrada da Morte) foi travada em 10 de novembro de 1975, perto do assentamento estratégico de Quifangondo, na província de Luanda, entre as Forças Armadas Populares de Libertação de Angola (FAPLA), braço armado do Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA), e do (ELNA), braço armado da Frente de Libertação Nacional de Angola (FNLA). O engajamento foi notável por marcar o primeiro grande emprego de foguetes de artilharia na Guerra Civil Angolana, bem como a última tentativa séria das forças do ELNA de tomarem Luanda, a capital angolana. Aconteceu no último dia do domínio colonial português no país, que formalmente recebeu a independência poucas horas depois dos combates. (pt)
