Resumo

I would like to thank the Subcommittee for inviting me to testify before it on the subject of Angola. In this presentation I shall make six major points. Briefly, and in summary, they are the following: one , the historical record in Angola, both remote and recent, suggests that there are deep roots to the current political fragmentation and conflict in that country and that, even under good conditions, political unity and stable government will be difficult to establish. Two , the Alvor Agreement, signed on January 15, 1975, between Portugal and the three major Angolan nationalist parties is, on paper, a masterful piece of diplomacy and compromise; its provisions should be studied and enforced.
