For the rector, if people have a common objective, they will find their identity in it, they will see each other in search of the satisfaction of their collective interests.
He considered that April 4, 2002 constitutes one of the greatest achievements of the Angolan people after national independence, proclaimed on November 11, 1975, as it marked a “decisive turning point” in Angola’s political and development process.
Angola lived decades of its history at war (from 1961 to 1974 against the Portuguese colonial regime), followed, from 1975, by a war that took place in a political context of division of the world into two blocs, led by the United States of America and the former Soviet Union.
This war ended with the death, in combat, of the leader of UNITA, on February 22, 2002 and the signing of the Luena memorandum of understanding, which culminated in the agreements of April 4, in Luanda, complementary to the one in Lusaka.
