Military Council for Angolan Resistance (Portuguese: Comité Militar da Resistencia Angolana; COMIRA) was a militant organization that fought in the Angolan Civil War in the 1980s.[1]
The militant wing of the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA) created COMIRA on August 12, 1980. P. Tuba and H. V. Nato led COMIRA upon its creation.[1]
COMIRA leaders said they overthrew FNLA leader Holden Roberto on September 15, 1980 in Paris, France, making the FNLA a part of COMIRA.[1]
