The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) will return to the city of Uíge on Friday, after the serious incidents recorded on August 8. The main opposition party in Angola has scheduled for September 4 the fourth ordinary meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Commission.
The event will serve as preparation for next year's elections. UNITA deliberately chose the city where the August 8 incidents occurred to hold this Standing Committee meeting, at a time when the party is trying to affirm its political presence in the territory.
The article refers to UNITA as Angola's main opposition party, which only "with great difficulty" the MPLA still allows to function. The MPLA is described as the party that considers itself "owner of the country," suggesting that the holding of the meeting depends on the authorization of the authorities controlled by the ruling party.
