Africa-Press – Angola. UNITA said yesterday, through a statement from the Standing Committee of the Political Commission, that “Angola’s independence is an inalienable right of all peoples”, “dreamed of and achieved at the price of many sacrifices throughout centuries-old struggles”.
According to Galo Negro, Independence must have, in the first instance, the rescue of everything, the essential that, yesterday, colonialism usurped and destroyed, that is, land, culture and freedom.
“November 11, 1975 was chosen by the co-signatories of the Alvor Agreement (Portugal, FNLA, MPLA and UNITA) as the date for the proclamation of Angola’s Independence. This historic act would be the culmination of a whole process that would involve holding elections for the Constituent Assembly, with the liberation movements being the only candidates for the same”, he recalls in the note distributed in allusion to the event.
After 47 years, adds UNITA, the country demands greater cohesion and more dialogue from Angolans to overcome the challenges, noting that the “two great achievements of independent Angola, the democratic rule of law with a market economy and military peace, are the result of a selfless patriotic effort” in which the “black rooster” is, without being unique, the protagonist.
On the occasion of the 47th anniversary of National Independence, the Standing Committee of the Political Commission of UNITA, reinforces the statement, thanks the Angolan people for their faithfulness to the example of patriotism of all the greatest in common history, for the democratic maturity shown in the last elections and for their attachment to peace.
The second most voted party in the last elections in August of this year urges the Angolan people to unity of purpose and action in order to materialize, in the course of 2023, the institutionalization of local authorities, as “they are the irreplaceable and unavoidable way to community development”.
Finally, the Standing Committee of the Political Commission of UNITA pays a simple tribute to all the heroes and martyrs of the liberation struggle for Angola’s independence and the conquest of democracy and peace.
