Nujoma reaffirms support for Angola

    JOHANNESBURG

    Meanwhile, President Sam Nujoma of Namibia reaffirmed his country's continued support for Angola against UNITA "until peace returns to their country".

    "We are behind the Angolan government," Nujoma said in a national television broadcast on Monday. "We will give every support to the Angolan government to crush the UNITA bandits in order to restore peace in Angola." Nujoma also said Namibia had "willingly" allowed Angola to use landing fields in
    Namibia, "and will continue to do so".
