		Fighting during 1998 in Moxico province resulted in the temporary suspension of MAG operations there and Refugee-related mine awareness in neighbouring countries, Zambia and DR Congo, was also suspended as it became apparent that they would not be repatriated in the foreseeable future.

		Living conditions in Moxico are extremely difficult for resident communities, IDPs, and returnees who are largely dependant on relief and development agency food security initiatives, WFP food handouts and limited food gathered from the surrounding mine and UXO infested environment.

	Jonas Savimbi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jonas Savimbi was born and raised in Angola's eastern province of Moxico, which later served as his power base during the civil war that broke out in 1975, following Angola's independence from Portuguese rule.
		Savimbi also violently purged some of those within UNITA who he may have seen as threats to his leadership; his foreign secretary, Tito Chingunji, was executed in 1991 along with his family.
		After surviving more than a dozen assassination attempts, Savimbi was killed four years later, in February 2002, in a battle with Angolan government troops along riverbanks in the province of Moxico, his birthplace.

		In the Muachimbo displaced people's camp outside the provincial capital, Luena, a woman was trying to breast-feed her baby, though her own skeleton was distinctly visible through her skin.
		Moxico was the birthplace of UNITA, and since the victories by the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) on the central plateau in 1999, the government has come to regard the eastern province as the most important remaining UNITA stronghold.
		Yet the last six months have seen UNITA carry out a number of guerrilla-style attacks on towns and villages in the northwest of Angola, more than 1,000 km from Luena, and the importance of the eastern bases to these operations is not clear.
