Angola: Savimbi's ghost haunts opposition vote
20.07.2007
Members of Angola's main opposition party streamed into a conference hall on Thursday to cast ballots in a leadership race overshadowed by the ghost of Jonas Savimbi, the guerrilla leader who founded the movement. Larger-than-life images of Savimbi, killed by Angolan government troops in 2002, greeted more than 1 000 delegates of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (Unita) who gathered in the town of Viana, 20km outside Luanda.
