| | There have been a number of false dawns for peace in Angola: the Gbadolite agreement, the Bicesse agreement of May 1991 and the 1992 elections, the Lusaka agreement of November 1994. Each time hopes have been dashed. Angolans are now very cautious about how peace will come about. The death of Jonas Savimbi may create some opportunities to break-up the Angolan log jam. But a log jam does not break-up by just freeing one part, even if that part was the original cause of the log jam: other logs have come along afterwards and increased the locking forces and these also have to be broken free. |
