Bush to press Angola peace with Savimbi’s death
The United States urges renewed peacemaking after rebel leader Jonas Savimbi’s death. President Bush will meet Tuesday with Angola’s Jose Eduardo dos Santos and two other African leaders at the White House to discuss how Washington can help end Angola’s civil war and advance regional stability. Dos Santos plans to outline steps to secure a ceasefire as UNITA warns it will not surrender. The State Department called Savimbi’s death a casualty in a war that should have ended long ago and urged both sides to work with peaceful opposition and international partners toward peace.
