New displaced in Lunda Sul

    JOHANNESBURG

    The government's humanitarian agency MINARS has reported that large numbers of people are fleeing insecurity in the northern province of Lunda Sul.

    According to MINARS, some 4,449 people arrived recently in the municipality of Cacolo from Xassengue, Cucumbi and Alto-Chicapa. The new arrivals pushes the number of displaced in Cacolo to around 7,000 people. Small numbers of families originally from Cacolo are reportedly also beginning to arrive Saurimo, the provincial capital.

    In its latest situation report, WFP described the security situation in Angola as characterised by "an increased number of small-scale ambushes and attacks throughout the country."
