		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.

		Like many of Savimbi’s critics, who would prefer to see him taken out of the Angolan political equation, the analyst nevertheless admitted that both of these ‘solutions’ could remain beyond the reach of a government that has battled UNITA since independence in 1975, but has yet to break the rebel movement.
		Former colleagues of Savimbi, known in Luanda as ‘defectors’, are inclined to agree.
		But Savimbi’s rejection of the UN-monitored election resulted in a return to civil war, followed by a shaky peace in 1994, and a resumption of full-scale fighting in 1998 launched by the government over UNITA’s repeated failure to abide by the peace agreement.

		Savimbi's movements and hideouts had been difficult to assess, as he on many occasions was based outside Angola.

		Savimbi was not a "pro-Western African leader" as he was once portrayed.
