Dos Santos, Nujoma reaffirm good relations

    JOHANNESBURG

    Namibian President Sam Nujoma wrapped up a visit to Luanda on Thursday, with his counterpart President Jose Eduardo dos Santos saying only that the two had discussed security issues.

    Speaking at a press conference after a six-hour meeting, Dos Santos said the pair had focused on “problems concerning security along the common border and the situation in Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo”. He was quoted as saying that he was “satisfied” with the results of the meeting.

    Nujoma also refused to release further details of the talks, but reiterated his condemnation of Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi “and his UNITA bandits”, and their practice of attacking civilian targets.
