[Text] In the battlefield in N'dalatando, the troops of
Jose Eduardo dos Santos' involved in the offensive are not able
to move or receive supplies. The circle is closing tighter and
tighter. Yesterday, in a vain attempt to break out, the Futungo
de Belas adventurers left 10 dead soldiers, 11 60-mm mortar
shells, and a considerable assortment of war materiel along the
Beira Alta road. The Luanda air force has not been indifferent
to this. Yesterday, Jose Eduardo dos Santos' combat aircraft
raided civilian villages, destroying their farms. Four
civilians were killed and five others seriously wounded.
Moreover, Sergeant Antonio Tunguno, who was captured during
clashes, revealed to the military information services of the
Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola [FALA] that South
African, Portuguese, and Katanga mercenaries are directly
assisting Luanda in these attacks.
Antonio Tunguno said that in the Angolan capital, Luanda,
Eduardo dos Santos' terrorists are involved in a campaign to
force the youths to join the People's Armed Forces for the
Liberation of Angola ranks. To conclude, our reporter Morais
Abel, who reported this, notes that the FALA Military Command in
N'dalatando says that N'dalatando will never fall, to either
land or air offensives.
