2015's METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN uses as one of its two major areas of operation, the Angola/Zaire border region in Central Africa. In this video, as part four of my analysis of the importance of setting to MGSV at large, we take a deep dive into the history of mercenaries in the region, mainly focusing on the 20th Century and the context of South African apartheid, in order to examine how the region, with its unique blend of cultures and long history, its borders largely the fictive figment of Western minds, fits into MGSV's wider themes.
