A Journey Through Angola
A series of pictures reveal the damage done by decades of civil war
Waiting, Kuito:
One third of Angola's population are fugitives in their own country, mostly peasants driven from their villages by UNITA rebels. Now there is a new problem, de-mobbed UNITA troops learning to live without the gun. Relief organisations say the former guerillas and their families are among the worst affected by the southern African drought and food shortages. But one aid official rejects claims that the Angolan government is not doing enough. Rui Passolo, WFP base manager in Kuito says: "There is a very good relationship between the government forces and UNITA. Sometimes they joke together and laugh. That shows this war was not an internal matter. It was an external matter."
