Angola (MRB Nov 2001): Uncertainty remains on Savimbi's whereabouts.
[MRB Nov 01] Despite the Angolan government's contention that it is willing to talk peace with Unita leader Jonas Savimbi it is likely that the army continues actively to hunt him.
The UN in a recent report stated that the Unita leadership was currently concentrated in Moxico province, but the FAA (Forcas Armadas Angolanas) reported that Savimbi might be in the Bie region of the central highlands. It said that a recent offensive launched there had resulted in the destruction of a strategically important Unita base around the town of Umpulo, about 180 km south-east of Kuito and the death of 26 Unita soldiers, including a brigadier identified only as 'Cerqueira'.
Angolan officials say Cerqueira could have been responsible for Savimbi's movements and that he could be in the area.
According to the UN, Savimbi is moving with 14 or 15 highly trained military guards and a male nurse. It said that the top Unita officials were in Moxico Province - the vice-president, Antonio Dembo; the secretary-general, Lucas Paulo Lukamba Gato; the secretary for foreign affairs, Alcides Sakala; the chief of staff, General Geraldo Abreu 'Kamorteiro'; and General Esteves 'Kamy' Pena.
Unita's current military structure is headed by the chief of staff, General Geraldo Abreu 'Kamorteiro', and chief of operations, General Abilio Kamalata 'Numa'. There is a telecommunications unit (DIVITAC) headed by Brigadier General Domingos Sopite, a logistics unit, and a unit for political coordination (of Unita armed forces) headed by General Mbula Matady. Unita is said to still have a good radio network and a capacity to send and receive messages in code. The most common radios in use are solar powered HGF Racal 5 - 30.
Unita has two major security organs, the Brigada de Informacao Geral (BIG), and the Service for Clandestine Intelligence, headed by General Chissende 'Buffalo Bill'. The report blames the recent sabotage of an electrical relay station outside Luanda on these units.
