 Child Kidnappings Seen as a Show of Strength by Unita
The attack on Caxito has been read as an attempt by Unita to undermine the confidence of the Angolan government by bringing its insurrection closer to the capital.
In this context the attack on Caxito is being seen as a show of strength by Unita in order to scare the government into talks, and to raise the stakes if and when talks do eventually happen.
The children who were strayed from the attack of Caxito in Angola have been handed over to the Catholic Mission in Ambaka in the care of priest Joaquim Ribeiro with the express demand to be sent to bishop D. Mota Mourisca the President of the Peace Movement "PRO PACE".

 Progress on sleeping sickness brings new challenges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
CAXITO, 30 Jan 2006 (IRIN) - International medical NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) handed over its final sleeping sickness project in Angola to the Health Ministry last week, having successfully contained and stabilised the disease.
Two years ago MSF-Belgium's sleeping sickness centre in Caxito was full, and the busy staff were seriously concerned that Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) could run rampant.
With just three patients in Caxito requiring treatment, it is evident that the expertise and resources of the NGO, whose mandate is to provide medical care in emergency situations, could be better employed elsewhere.

According to Angolan government sources, 60 children had been abducted by UNITA rebels/terrorists in the attack on the town of Caxito, 60 km north of Luanda, which came after a relative lull in the long-running civil war in Angola.
