Zambia warns Angola

    NAIROBI

    Zambian President Frederick Chiluba has warned his country will defend itself if Angola decides to attack, ‘The Post’ newspaper reported today (Wednesday). Responding to Angolan government allegations that Zambia was supporting the rebel UNITA movement, Chiluba described the claim as “extremely sad” because Lusaka had neither the political will nor the finances to become involved in Angola’s conflict. According to Chiluba, those making the allegations wanted to compromise Zambia’s position as mediator in the DRC conflict.
