People eke out a meagre existence by selling what they can grow or collect in the bush at the central market. Despite vast reserves of petroleum, diamonds and natural resources, decades of fighting between FAA (Fora Armada Angolana) forces and UNITA rebels have impoverished Angola and crippled its people. The government is currently mounting a major offensive against UNITA in the eastern province of Moxico where rebel leader Jonas Savimbi has been confirmed to be located..Luena, Angola. 25-11-2001.Photo: J.B.
