==Death== [[File:Agostinho Neto.jpg|left|thumb|Neto in 1978]] Agostinho Neto died on Monday, 10 September 1979 in [[Moscow]] after travelling to the [[Soviet Union]] to undergo surgery for cancer and hepatitis. He was a week shy of his 57th birthday at the time of his death. Neto had a long battle with [[pancreatic cancer]], as well as chronic [[hepatitis]] that ultimately took his life. Neto had been to the Soviet Union multiple times for treatment because of the high level of medical professionals there. Few people knew about his failing health because he and his colleagues thought it was better to hide this information, as to not show weakness.<ref>Thomas Johnson, "Agostinho Neto, 56, Angola's Leader, Dies in Moscow After Surgery".
