More Angolans detained in Zambia
Security forces in Zambia say they have detained 10 more soldiers believed to be from neighbouring Angola. They were held in the north-western province of Zambezi. A Zambian intelligence official told reporters the soldiers said they were looking for food. Over the weekend, 12 soldiers also believed to be Angolan were detained in the northern town of Mwinilunga. There are an estimated 200,000 Angolan refugees living in Zambia, some of them long-term settlers who fled Angola's long-running civil war. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
