Angola: No more war in Cabinda

By on July 12, 2010
The war in Cabinda is terminated, it was announced by N’zita Tiago, the historic leader of the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) and the head of the secessionist group, the FLEC-Renovada. “Fighting is no longer a viable solution, and the two separatist leaders are calling for negotiations”.

“We ask that Angolans will seat around a same table with the Cabindas as Angolans themselves have done before, with the Portuguese”, said Tiago N’zita.
The Angolan government is open to discuss with the FLEC separatist movement whose exiled leaders have announced an end to their armed struggle for the control of the oil enclave of Cabinda. “But that does not mean that those responsible for recent terrorist attacks will not be brought to justice,” said Antonio Bento Bembe, Secretary of State for Human Rights.
The Angolan authorities had issued arrest warrants against leaders of the FLEC, some of whom are in exile in Paris.
The Angolan opposition thinks that dialogue is inevitable. “As time passes, the situation becomes untenable. We need people to be convinced that it is easier to talk with your mouth that God gave us, than with weapons that men have invented. “Said Raoul Danda, a member of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA)
Tiago N’zita leader of the FLEC had already found the location of future negotiations: Portugal, former colonial country.
