Abstract

ANGOLA The present report covers the period from October 1999 to December 20001. Thus, in pursuance of Security Council resolution 1268 (1999) of 15 October 1999 which requested the Secretary General to inform the Security Council every three months regarding developments in Angola, a report was submitted on 14 January 2000. The report noted that the past few months had witnessed a major change in which the Government had retaken several areas previously under the control of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). At the same time, while re-establishing its control, the Presi- dent of Angola, Mr. Jose dos Santos, had reaffirmed the Lusaka protocol3 as the basis for the peace resolution of the conflict. He, however, had discounted Mr. Jonas Savimbi as the leader of UNITA. In his view, Mr. Savimbi was not a credible partner for dialogue. In this connection, the Government had continued its efforts to politically isolate UNITA through military campaign and denial of lines of com- munication and logistic support through neighboring countries. In an effort to restoring the peace process, a number of political parties and church groups had at the same time, appealed for a resump- tion
