Operation Bandua

Operation Bandua was a Portuguese military operation conducted by the Estado Novo regime ruling the country. The operation's objective was to capture the Ukanda Province of Huria in retaliation for the country's support for independence movements in Portuguese overseas provinces.
Portugal declared war on Huria on the 16th March 1961 after allegations that Huria had donated money and arms to the Angolan MPLA, UNITA and FNLA militias.
