UNITA in Angola

Postmark Africa

Available for over a year

The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) started in the 1960s, recruiting from many of the country’s marginalised groups. Karl Maier, author of Angola Promises and Lies, explains what motivates the rebel group to keep fighting the government – and how they pay for arms by controlling Angola’s valuable diamond resources.
