Angola is willing to have Cuban troops withdrawn from its soil if the United States and South Africa end support for right-wing Angolan rebels, the official ANGOP news agency said, quoting Foreign Minister Afonso Van-Dunem. The report also listed other longstanding Angolan demands for a regional peace settlement, including withdrawal of South African military forces from southern Angola, and independence for Namibia.
