Opposition calls for talks on Angola war

    JOHANNESBURG

    Ben Ulenga, the leader of Namibia's opposition party the Congress of Democrats (CoD), has called on the Namibian government to assist Angola's warring parties to establish lasting peace through negotiations, news reports said.

    Ulenga was quoted as saying: "The best and most lasting reward Namibians can offer the Angolan people for supporting Namibia throughout our liberation struggle, is by helping our neighbours find each other again and establish lasting peace through negotiations."

    "It is meaningless to seek peace by making more war. Brothers cannot make peace with one another through killing each other. We should support efforts for peace, there is no single justification for this war to continue," he told a press conference in Windhoek.
