Liberation movements

Explanation:
I assume the reference is to Swapo (Namibia), MPLA (Angola), Frelimo (Mozambique) and so forth.

My own rendering would be:

In both English and Spanish, the word ‘active’ is wholly redundant.

Consider http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/pr/2000/pr1011a.html and all the other references to “liberation movements in southern Africa” .
