Description Right where to start with these chaps, they are both wearing the Czechoslovak Mracky/clouds camo pattern, Danny Roxo on the left has highly modified the uniform , it may have been made from captured material, who knows.
Here's some info about these two:-
Danny Roxo on the left,

Roxo's outfit- 'Coluna Infernal' (Column from Hell)
90 men

Daniel Francisco Roxo (the white devil of Niassa), a legend full of facts and fiction. Roxo was born in 1933 in northeast Portugal. He emigrated to Mozambique in the early´50s and worked there first as a civil servant. Later he became a big game hunter in Niassa Province. In´60s his aims changed, started to fight against FRELIMO, which was starting to destroy his way of life. Roxo offered his services to the Portuguese army, first as tracker, then as leader of an irregular band of 90. He was the only white man in the unit. His own autonomous unit was called the Coluna Infernal (Column from Hell). His unit is claimed to have killed more FRELIMO members than the whole Portuguese army. He died in 1976 fighting for the South Africans in Operation Savannah.

On the right Amilcar Cabral

Amílcar Lopes da Costa Cabral  12 September 1924 – 20 January 1973) was a Guinea-Bissauan and Cape Verdean agricultural engineer, writer, and a nationalist thinker and political leader. He was also one of Africa's foremost anti-colonial leaders. Also known by his nom de guerre Abel Djassi, Cabral led the nationalist movement of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde Islands and the ensuing war of independence in Guinea-Bissau. He was assassinated on 20 January 1973, about eight months before Guinea-Bissau's unilateral declaration of independence. He was deeply influenced by Marxism, and became an inspiration to revolutionary socialists and national liberationists world-wide.

Roxo was really a curious character. After 1974/75 he went to South Africa, to the Buffalo Batalion. This unit was mostly composed by Portuguese Africans that stayed I Africa after the Independence of Angola and Mozambique. Cabral's headgear is pretty well done. That kind of headgear is pretty much common in Guinea-Bissau.

Now it's not often you hear about the various wars of independence in the Portuguese colonies.

OI what about Mr Cabral as well!!! He was also a worthy guy you know as well, one of Africa's potential great leaders, especially in the Liberation movements in Africa.

Glad you approve, always liked East European camo, especially when it is used on a different continent.
