Comunicado de Guerra do Comité Director do MPLA

PEOPLE’S LIBERATION MOVEMENT OF ANGOLA M.P.L.A B.P. 2353 TEL. 49-15 BRAZZAVILLE WAR COMMUNIQUE After the last success of the MPLA armed forces in the zone of the LOMBE river where the Portuguese military post of SANGA was destroyed, the area north of Cabinda has now become the scene of an intensified military action. MPLA guerrillas are scourging the Portuguese key positions more and more. On the 21st of June, at 3 pm, an MPLA patrol drew two Portuguese platoons into an ambush at the TIVANGE mountain, 6 km far from the MITOMBE post. After a violent encounter the enemy ran away with many wounded soldiers, leaving behind 6 dead and great quantity of war material captured by our own armed forces. On the other hand, reports from our supporters in the villages around the post of SANGA point out that 33 Portuguese soldiers were killed during our bombing of the last 7th of June.
