SUBJECT: ANGOLA - JANUARY POLITICAL ROUNDUP 
 
-------------- 
1. (U) SUMMARY 
-------------- 
 
-- Angola,s Armed Forces to Help Stop Illegal 
 Immigration 
 
-- Abel Chivukuvuku Will Run for UNITA President 
 
-- President Dos Santos Urges &Zero Tolerance8 Against 
   Domestic Violence 
 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
Angola,s Armed Forces to Help Stop Illegal Immigration 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
 
2. (U) General Francisco Furtado, Head of Angola,s Armed 
Forces (FAA) announced a FAA ) National Police and Frontier 
Guard joint effort to control illegal immigration, 
particularly in the diamond producing provinces.  Furtado 
said the authorities will cooperate to apprehend and expel 
all illegal immigrants illegally mining and trading in 
diamonds.  General Furtado called the situation &out of 
control,8 adding that Angolan authorities are concerned that 
illegal immigration could affect Angola,s political and 
economic stability. 
 
3. (SBU) General Furtado said that studies had been done in 
five diamond producing provinces (Luanda Sul, Lunda Norte, 
Kwanza Sul, Bie and Malange) and the results warranted 
immediate action.  He also suggested that organized groups 
are financing illegal immigrants from West African and the 
Democratic Republic of Congo to carry out illegal mining. 
Note: Embassy has no other corroboration of immigrant groups 
traveling in organized groups to Angola.  End note.  Furtado, 
on February 12 while visiting Cabinda, again reasserted the 
importance of the campaign and noted that the FAA had 
participated in expelling illegal immigrants from Cabinda 
province in the last week. 
 
--------------------------------------------- 
Abel Chivukuvuku Will Run For UNITA President 
--------------------------------------------- 
 
4. (U) Abel Chivukuvuku, former UNITA Parliamentary Leader 
(Chief Whip) has announced his candidacy for UNITA President. 
 He plans to run against current President Isaias Samakuva, 
whom he claims is not dynamic enough to lead UNITA to an 
electoral victory.  Chivukuvuku promised he would present a 
UNITA with a vision and a sense of leadership, and one that 
would clearly project the image of a viable alternative to 
the MPLA to prospective voters.  He declared that his 
candidacy was proof of UNITA,s capacity to be democratic and 
thereby sustain a national democracy.  He also said that his 
candidacy was being supported by &important countries,8 
though offered no specifics. 
 
5. (U) Immediately after announcing his candidacy, the weekly 
paper &Semanario Angolense8 accused Chivukuvuku of 
receiving financial backing from the MPLA to unseat Samakuva 
and create a wedge within UNITA.  Chivukuvuku has denied the 
allegations, sued Semanario Angolense, and accused the MPLA 
of planting the story in the paper to discredit him with 
UNITA.  Meanwhile, the MPLA criticized Chivukuvuku,s 
reactions branding him as &politically immature and 
irresponsible.8 
 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
President Dos Santos Urges &Zero Tolerance8 Against 
Domestic Violence 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
 
6. (U) President dos Santos in his New Year speech 
characterized domestic violence as having attained alarming 
levels in Angolan society.  He urged for the creation of an 
all out campaign of &Zero Tolerance,8 to include an 
education component; adoption of preventive measures; more 
expeditious response to calls for help, and new legislation 
with more severe penalties.  This new presidential focus on 
domestic violence can be attributed to the December 12, 2006 
murder of Clara Soares, a very close friend of the Angolan 
First Lady, who was killed at home by her husband in a 
domestic dispute.  Mrs. Soares was shot twice in the head 
after having asked her husband to move out of their home. 
 
7. (SBU) Comment: the GRA has been working over the past two 
years on the revision of its penal code and the development 
of laws against family violence. High-level representatives 
from both the Ministry of Family and Promotion of Women have 
told emboffs that they hope this new attention to the issue 
will speed up the legislative development and approval 
process.
