Portugese acronym for
National Union for the Total
Independence of
Angola. UNITA was a Western-backed
Guerilla organization that fought the
Cuban-backed
MPLA for many years, until a peace agreement was brokered in 1991. Of course, they contested the MPLA's strong showing in the
elections of 1992 and fighting renewed. A (supposedly) final
peace agreement was reached in 1994.
Fighting has broken out yet again.
