Angola: Consultations over election date

Discussions are taking place in Angola over the date of the next presidential and parliamentary elections. Elections were last held in 1992, but the rebel movement UNITA rejected the results and plunged the country back into war. Following last year's peace agreement UNITA has fully committed itself to the constitutional path. A dozen years after the last elections, the focus is turning to the urgent need to hold elections to reaffirm the legitimacy of the government.
