Savimbi Gets Robbed

The tomb of Jonas Savimbi in Moxico has been looted by graverobbers. A number of items were stolen including his bronze epitaph. A bit of a sad addendum for the former US ally and UNITA leader who had battled the Soviet and Cuban backed MPLA for decades in the Angolan Civil War, but in the end was unable to stop his own ferocious impulse for the permanent war he’d know for most of life. Even when offered the Vice Presidency of the country for peace in 1998.
