Holden Roberto
Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOL : Holden Roberto
Álvaro Holden Roberto (born 12 January 1923 in São Salvador do Congo) is the leader of the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA). Roberto was related, by marriage, to Mobuto Sese Seko, the dictator of neighbouring Zaire, who provided military assistance to Roberto's forces.
Experts agree that, like Mobuto, Roberto was on the CIA payroll for a number of years.[#endnote_NYRBooks] Controversy remains over the size of the payments, and their duration.
