ANGOLA/CONFLICT - Angola behind October 28 coup? Did the Angolan government sponsor the attempt by rebel soldiers to overthrow the Frederick Chiluba government last October?Ê Luanda denies any involvement, but UNITA claims that it did, while some international diplomatic sources say the Angolan government is likely to have played a part in the botched coup attempt.Ê From AFRONET, featured on the OneWorld News Service 8 December 1997 ANGOLA/CONFLICT - FJT's year of trial: Twelve months after President Chiluba was sworn in for a second term, he stands alone and isolated, a seemingly weaker figure than he was in his first term. Isolated by his neighbours, he faces daunting challenges at home with divisions in his party and the memories of an attempted coup in October some of his closest advisors have been linked to. From AFRONET, featured on the OneWorld News Service 8 December 1997 ANGOLA/HEALTH - When health and hygiene go out the window: One of the worst effects of three decades of civil war and an uncertain peace is the virtual collapse of Angola's health service. A Gemini News Service correspondent finds hard-pressed medical staff struggling to cope against enormous odds.

campaigns monitoring donate contact us ... The "Angolagate" scandal Investigations by Global Witness over recent years reveal a story of state looting in Angola on a grand scale, suggesting that the public revelations during 2000-2001 about the Angolagate scandal, which saw over-priced weapons provision to the Angolan Government in exchange for enormous kickbacks and influence peddling by the French political establishment and oil industry, are only part of a wider and more sinister story. Instead, a system of covert arms procurement that started as a legitimate exercise in self-defence by an internationally-recognized Government threatened by rebel insurgents ended up with full-scale appropriation and laundering of state assets through parallel budgets, over-priced arms deals and deliberate indebtedness through mortgaging of future oil production. Central to the issue of state looting is a glaring discrepancy: the progressive impoverishment of a country during almost four decades of war and civil conflict has gone hand-in-hand with rising oil revenues. Despite earning around US$3-5 billon from oil last year (an estimated 87% of state revenue), social and economic development in Angola has continued to deteriorate. Three-quarters of the population are forced to survive in absolute poverty on less than one dollar a day; 42% of Angolan children aged five or less are underweight; one child now dies of preventable diseases and malnutrition every three minutes (480 every day); life expectancy is a mere 44 years; and about 3.1 million civilians have had to flee their homes since the war resumed in January 1998.

The Order will have the effect of lifting the sanctions imposed on UNITA in Executive Orders 12865, 13069, and 13098. These trade and financial sanctions were imposed to support international efforts to force UNITA to abandon armed conflict and return to the peace process outlined in the Lusaka Protocol, as reflected in United Nations Security Council Resolutions 864 (1993), 1127 (1997), and 1173 (1998).
