		Savimbi's good fortune was to have become an anti-Communist in Southern Africa when the tide was turning against the values of the 'free world', which in those days meant white minority rule.
		Savimbi, meanwhile, could argue that the MPLA was the brutal agent of Communist domination he had always said it was, not only over his own people, who were being bombed and displaced by the campaigning, and often horribly abused, but over the region as a whole.
		Savimbi's great coup in these costly years was the control of the diamond trade, which enabled him to rebuild his army into a significant force, as it had been when Unita worked in tandem with the South Africans.

	Death of Savimbi Renews Hope for Peace in Angola
		The death on 22 February of Jonas Savimbi, the leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola) suggests that a watershed may have been reached in the course of the 28 year old civil war in this southern African country.
		In this policy, the Angolan government was supported by the international community for whom Jonas Savimbi was a true ‘pariah’, a man who had repeatedly failed to comply with his own commitments under the 1991 Bicesse Peace Accords, the 1994 Lusaka Protocol and later the Government of Unity and National Reconciliation (GURN).
		Jonas Malheiro Savimbi had become widely regarded as the main cause of the civil war in Angola, his leadership of UNITA the main reason behind the first time the United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions on a political movement.
