		Cabinda rebels seem to tolerate UNITA rebels when they are useful in their struggle against the government, but FLEC wants UNITA leaders as their government no more than it wants the MPLA government in its territory.
		The Cabinda people may be able to negotiate for more autonomy from Luanda and for a larger share of the wealth that results from the exploitation of the resources in their region.
		Cabinda does not have extensive external support for their self-determination bid, so it would be difficult to engage in a protracted civil war that would eventually wear down Luanda.

		Cabinda’s armed separatists were equally responsible for grave human rights abuses, in a conflict that, although militarily characterized as low intensity, has had a tremendous impact on the lives and livelihoods of Cabinda’s population.
		Because “Cabinda’s population affirms itself, in its majority, as sympathisers of the self-determination cause”, the impact of the war on civilians was severe, with allegations of government forces reacting to attacks by separatist guerrillas by retaliating against civilians.

		Therefore, they say, the Angolan army should withdraw from Cabinda, the portuguese presence should be reinstated in the enclave and negotiations should begin with the portuguese government in order to achieve full independence, eventually delayed for a couple of years until the angolans "get comfortable" with the situation, so to speak.
