The article discusses allegations by the separatist group FLEC-FAC regarding brutal retaliation by the Angolan army against civilians in Cabinda. Emmanuel Nzita from FLEC-FAC claims that these attacks are systematic and in response to separatist actions, despite the Angolan government's denials of harming civilians. Official statements suggest an improving security situation, but conflicting reports and the government’s emphasis on pacification raise concerns over the truth. Nzita also dismisses claims of voluntary defections to the Angolan government as propaganda, emphasizing the manipulation of vulnerable individuals for political purposes.
"Whenever FLEC-FAC carries out operations against occupation troops, the army responds with brutal violence against innocent people," Nzita said, highlighting the cycle of violence affecting civilians.
Nzita alleges that most of the so-called 'defectors' who surrendered are unemployed men from the Congo, claiming they were manipulated into participating in government propaganda.
