Meanwhile, Zambia has promised not to give asylum to Savimbi if he tries to flee Angola, where he faces death or capture at the hands of the army, Angolan Foreign Minister Joao Bernardo de Miranda said on Thursday.
“What we wanted was for Zambia to promise not to let Savimbi leave Angola through Zambian territory,” De Miranda told reporters in Luanda. Zambia’s minister of Foreign Affairs Keli Walubita and the President Frederick Chiluba “have made that promise,” he said.
De Miranda, on his way back from an official visit to Zambia and Zimbabwe, said that Harare had also promised Angola they would not aid Savimbi.
