The UNITA offensive follows a failed Angolan Army (FAA) campaign launched last December in hopes of capturing the two main UNITA strongholds of Bailundo and Andulo and of eradicating the rebel army.
Notably, the Angolan conflict appears to have deepened the rift between SADC members Zimbabwe -- which openly supports Luanda as well as the DRC government in that country's conflict, and South Africa -- which appears to support UNITA and the DRC rebel forces, though far less openly.
