UNITA tried to surrender once and thousands were massacred by dos Santos, including Savimbi's son after they put down their weapons.... but thats par for the course for dos Santos

Re #6

The root of all African conflicts is tribal. Savimbi was the leader of Obundi tribe, mostly rural peasants. Dos Santos was the leader of another tribe or group, the urbanized educated ones who are naturally more Marxists. Dos Santos' people are usually dressed better naturally. I met children of these urbanized Anglolans who came here to study English. They acted like lazy high school students. Hardly studied and busy having fun.
