Angola on the way to war

Article Abstract:

Angola appears to be moving toward war. UNITA, led by Jonas Savimbi, does not appear to wish to abide by a peace agreement of 1994. Villages are first attacked by UNITA forces, and then retaken by government forces. Survivors are then seen as UNITA sympathisers, and are effectively attacked twice. The government also failed to secure peace through providing education and health care. After the 1994 agreement, police were sent instead to execute those suspected of helping UNITA. Meanwhile, the United Nations mission has lost its leader seeking to tackle the problem. Alioune Blondin Beye died in a plane crash in Jun 1998.

Back to war: Angola

Just when an agreement seemed to be in place between the Angolan government and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) for sharing power, UNITA forces launched a military attack. Hopes for peace have been dashed unless the UN can intervene.

War, again: Angola

Article Abstract:

The civil war has resumed in Angola two years after a peace agreement was signed. The resumption of the fighting seems to have occurred because rebel leader Jonas Savimbi refuses to accept his defeat in the Sep 1992 elections. He claims the voting was rigged.
