Biography
[edit]Mfulupinga Nlandu Victor was born on 15 December 1944 in Maquela do Zombo, Uige province, Angola. Due to colonial repression, he was in exile in what was then Congo Leopoldville. During his time here, he focused on devoting himself to his studies and mobilizing Angolan students outside the country. Later, he was elected president of the Angolan college students in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He organized and directed the first congress of Angolan students in exile, which was held in Kinshasa (DRC) and hosted about 500 participants from various continents.
