Rebels End Struggle in Oil-Rich Province
From Times Wire Reports
Separatists in Cabinda province signed a cease-fire to end their 31-year struggle for independence in return for greater autonomy.
Cabinda, a coastal enclave that produces about half of Angola’s 1.4 million barrels a day of oil, is separate from the rest of the former Portuguese colony. It is wedged between Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) and Republic of Congo.
The agreement was signed by Angolan officials and the Cabindan Forum for Dialogue.
