The '''People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola''', for some years called the '''People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola – Labour Party''' (Portuguese: ''Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola – Partido do Trabalho, MPLA''), is a left-wing political party that has ruled Angola since the country's independence from Portugal in 1975. The MPLA fought against the Portuguese army in the Angolan War of Independence from 1961 to 1974, and defeated the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA), two other anti-colonial movements, in the Angolan Civil War of 1975–2002. | The '''People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola''', for some years called the '''People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola – Labour Party''' (Portuguese: ''Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola – Partido do Trabalho, MPLA''), is a left-wing political party that has ruled Angola since the country's independence from Portugal in 1975.
