The continent of Africa is one of the most warlike
continents – there’s always a war or several wars there. Angolan people, for
instance, don’t seem to remember what living in peace is like. They’ve never
experienced peaceful life for long. From the 16th century up to
1975. Angola belonged to Portugal and was its overseas territory. The fight for
freedom never stopped but when independence was gained at last, an intense
civil war broke out.
The main opposing forces were UNITA, which stands for
National Union for the Total independence of Angola a MPLA – The People’s
Movement for the Liberation of Angola. These two political parties were
originally founded to free the nation from Portuguese colonial rule. However,
after independence was declared, their military confrontation subjected Angolan
people to further suffering. Officially, the civil war was considered to be
over in 2002, but the country is still being torn apart by major and minor

Slavery seems to be the most unnatural thing for a
human being but, paradoxically, it survived though thousands of years.
Historians can’t say when and where slavery appeared but, according to them, it
might be as old as civilization itself and it throve anywhere in the world
regardless of religious beliefs and cultural values of the people.
Ancient Greece is known as the birthplace of the first
democracies and greatest philosophers of the world. Slaves however were very
common there, too, and no democrat had ever demanded abolishing of the
institution of slavery. There were war slaves, piracy slaves and people who
were enslaved for debts. They worked on farms and mines. Slaves who worked in
wealthy households felt privileged as usually their work was not very hard and
they were treated better.
In general, slavery in Ancient Greece was not as cruel
as in lots of other parts of the world. A slave in Greece had no human rights,
but his owner was not allowed to kill him at least. There was also a vague hope
to gain freedom – some owners freed their slaves for good and devoted service.
There was even the precedent of granting citizenship to a former slave.
