Background The purpose of this mission was to inquire into the acts of provocation and aggression committed by the South African armed forces against the People's Republic of Angola, acts which are launched from Namibia, an international territory illegally occupied by the apartheid r4gime. A first chronological and systematic report of the violations of the territorial integrity and the air space of the People's Republic of Angola and of the armed attacks on the ground and by air committed by South Africa against this independent State was presented by the Angolan authorities to the first session of the International Commission of Inquiry, which. was held in Brussels from 9 to U1 February 1979. This document covered the years 1977 and 1978 and related to events after the first South African invasion. Four provinces are the main target of these acts of armed invasion: Kunene, Kuando-Kubango, .M4ogamedes and Huila. Three of these are border provinces, and the last two are of great economic importance to the national reconstruction of Angola. In July 1979, the Angolan Government transmitted to the United Nations Secretar-General, at the request of the Security Council, a well documented report on the main hostile acts and acts of aggression committed against the People's Republic of Angola between June 1976 and June 1979. That report contained systematic information on the human and material losses precipated by repeated acts of aggression (S/13473). Since March 1976, the Security Council has on five occasions condemned: "the South African racist r4gime for its premeditated, prolonged and sustained armed invasions against the People's Republic of Angola which constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this country and a serious threat to peace and international security." LRes. s/387 (1976), S/1428 (1978), s/44 (1979), S/4 54 (1979) and s/175 (198o07 Even though Angola had, since March 1976, suffered most vicious invasions perpetrated by the South African armed forces, three permanent members of the Security Council, France, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America abstained on S/475 adopted on 20 June 1980. They had similarly abstained on previous resolutions.

-2- The decision of the International Secretariat to send urgently an international mission to Angola was taken after the latest invasion of June/July 1980 which was launched from Namibia. The mission was the guest of NPLA 'Workers' Party and received from the Party and the Ministry of Defence the assistance and all necessary facilities to pursue its task. A. Introduction Angola achieved its independence on 11 November 1975. On the same day South African troops occupied a part of Angolan territory. It was not until 27 March 1976 that Angolan forces forced them to withdraw from its territory. Security Council resolution 387 of 31 March 1976 condemned the South African aggression against Angola and called upon South Africa to compensate that country for the damage and destruction it sustained as a result of the invasion. On 30 June 1976, a new series of aggressive acts began. Security Council resolution 447 (1979) requested the United Nations Secretary-General to present to that body information obtained from Angola on the human casualties and the material and other damages inflicted by the repeated acts of aggression perpetrated by South Africa. Pursuant to that resolution, the Government of Angola transmitted a report to the Secretary-General on the damage inflicted between 27 I-arch 1976 and 11 June 1979. Among other items annexed to the report was a Joint report by the representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Health Organizati on the massacre of more than 600 persons at Cassinga on 4 March 1978, which massacre was expressely condemned by Security Council resolution 428 of 6 May 1978. This resolution provided that the Security Council would meet to consider the imposition of sanctions if such aggression was repeated. The Joint report noted: "Profoundly shocked, representatives of the United Nations Organization have established on the spot the extreme savagery and spirit of extermination and destruction used against a population of refugees ....The civilian character of this population was vouched for by all that the United Nations mission has been able to verify ... The spirit of extermination... is manifest... All that the United Nations has been able to verify could only be qualified as criminal in international law... The present mission collected information on the acts of aggression committed after 11 June 1979. The authorities of the People's Republic of Angola were asked to provide a summary of the aggressive acts and of the invasion of June/ July 1960.

-3- The mission was able to do the following: a) to hear witnesses at the Military Central Hospital in Luanda; b) to visit the places on the Lubango-Moqamedes road at which ambushes were carried out in October 1979; c) to visit some places within the city of Lubango which were bombed in September 1979; d) to examine the remains of aircraft shot down in the most recent invasion of June/July 1980. Photographs taken by the mission and those taken by the Angolan authorities related to these events are attached to this report. Included too in the annexes is a map of the People's Republic of Angola. B. Observations of the ission 1. On 9 August 1980, the mission travelled on the highway which runs between Lubango and Mocamedes through the Leba mountains of Huila province. This road was the focus of South African aggression on 26 October 1979. On that Sunday, South African troops numbering about 100 to 130, came by Puma and Alouette helicopters from Namibia and lay in ambush at more than five points along the road. They stopped civilian-cars, ejected the people and executed them on the spot. The mission spoke with a FAPLAofficer, Mr. Gouveia, whose family was among the victims of these acts. Approximately 20 persons were killed by the South Africans in this action, including three infants of less than one year, girls and women (one in the last week of pregnancy). All were civilians. During this operation South African forces blew up three bridges on the road. In one case, high explosives were used to blow up a car and family with the bridge. As the road connected Lubango, the capital of Huila province, with Moqamedes, a major seaport, the apparent aim of the South African forces was to destroy this line of communication and traffic and to disrupt the economic functioning of this productive area of Angola as well as terrorize the civilian population. The mission visited the rebuilt bridges and viewed the remains of those destroyed by explosives. 2. Lubango, the capital of the province of Huila is 150 km of flying distance from the Namibian border. The mission visited the city on 9 August 1980 and saw the results of the bombing raids conducted by South African forces in September 1979 which killed 26 persons and left 34 seriously wounded and 41 slightly wounded. * Forgas Armadas Populares de Libertaqao de Angola.

-4 - One of the largest wooden furniture mahufacturing plants in Angola, "Madeiras da Huila," was completely destroyed by an attack late in the morning at which time the plant was full of workers. The destructive power of the l000-pound bombs used annihilated three small, adjacent factories, which produced pasta, paper and metal furniture, as well as the four large fabrication halls of the principal target. The airplanes involved were identified as Mirage Ills and Buccaneers. At the time of our visit, the "Madeiras da Huila" plant had been rebuilt on a much smaller scale. The remaining area was one of partly demolished buildings and rubble. Close by was an established residential area; at the time of the bombing there was nothing of military value in the neighbourhood. The delegation met a similar picture of destruction at the site of a former transit camp for Namibian refugees which had been evacuated shortly before the bombing. Both targets were within the city of Lubango and were struck in the same operation. At the former camp, those killed included a woman who at the time was washing clothes in the nearby river. Sixteen trucks and cars were also destroyed. At the time of our visit, the ground was covered with rubble and bomb craters. Parts of a few walls were standing; not one building remained intact. It. was determined that both 1000-pound and 250--pound bombs were dropped on the site, resulting in its complete devastation. C. Visit to the military mission in Lubango, headauarters of the 5th Region, 9 Auxast 1980 The mission was shown remains of various planes and helicopters shot down in June and July 198.during the last South African invasion Of Angola. Most of those remains were taken to Lubango or Luanda. The mission was able to note the following identifications: - Helicopter Alouette III (France) -Aerospatiale 01/76 Fabricat Material Type 31 609 - N 2296 - Motor Type SE 5130 39 00 103 RZ5 MT 1728 - Material Type 31 605 - Helicopter Impala B1, 326 built in Italy under DFR licence. - Mirage V - Camberra. The mission was shown pictures of the body of a South African pilot shot down in Kunene province during the last South African invasion and inspected the pilot's equipment, which included:

-5- - one green nylon parachute, - one survival kit with various medicines, including morphia, a tube of protective cream against ultra violet rays, mosquito repellent, etc., - one aeronautical radio, United States made, PELBA, SETA-3, manufacture cat. No. 9209350, series No. 27, - one mallory battery, - cartridges and munitions FN-M F 78/26. D. Visit to the Military Central Hospital in Luanda The mission visited the Military Central Hospital on 8 August. Its members were received by Captain Dr. Raoul Henrick, director of the hospital, and by his colleagues, both Angolan and Cuban doctorsk The following observations can be drawn from the information given and from the answers received. Past record and activities 1. This hospital was previously used as a transit hospital for the Portuguese army. It has been converted by Angolan authorities to a 1,500bed hospital. 2. This hospital corresponds to the third level of medical assistance in Angola for military men and civilians wounded by war action who require specialized medical assistance. - A great number of wounded civilian and military men who reached the hospital recently had been hurt by mines laid by South Africans on the territory of Angola; - The hospital gives medical assistance to SWAPO members; - Captured wounded enemy troops who need specialized medical assistance are treated at this hospital. 3. Those wounded or sick who cannot get appropriate treatment because of lack of adequate means at this hospital are sent to friendly countries for treatment. 4. The hospital gives specialized medical treatment to civilians as well. For example: a) In May 1978, after the Cassinga massacre, more-than 200 wounded were treated at this hospital, e.g., women and children who had been victims of napalm, paralysing gas, etc.

-6- b) In March 1979, after the Boma massacre, the hospital treated 300 wounded civilians and army people. Witnesses In July 1980, the South Africans invaded parts of KuandO-KubangO and Kunene provinces and occupied Mongua. Some victims of this raid, treated in the orthopedic section of the hospital, answered to questions raised by the mission. Their statements are as follows: 1) One SWAPO member had his right foot wounded on 24 June 1980, while he was on Angolan territory. He was wounded during a South African airborne attack; 2) A FAPLA member had his leg wounded by a mine explosion at ' (Kunene province) some 100 km from the Namibian border. He was wounded on 6 July 1980, when the vehicle he rode in was blown up by a mine laid by South Africans; 3) Another FAPLA member, riding in the same car, was also wounded; 4) A FAPLA member was wounded at Rivingo near the Zambian border, some 50 km from the Namibian border. He had a wound that was inflicted either by a gun or shell-splinter. Conclusion The South African Government claims that it does not fight against Angola or its population, but that it only pursues SWAPO elements into Angolan territory and that SWAPO is a "subversive organization which practises terrorism against South-West Africa." This claim is false and calls for the following response from this mission: 1. The mission has confirmed the findings of previous observers and investigators that civilians have been major victims of South African aggression. Neither women nor children, nor the aged are spared and the targets aimed at are the vital economic structures of Angola. The massive, repeated and unprovoked character of these aggressive acts constitute a crime against humanity under international law. 2. These armed attacks, invasions and temporary military occupations constitute, moreover, grave and repeated violations of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Angola. These acts of aggression lead to a situation of undeclared war against an independent country and therefore constitute a crime of aggression. 3. In addition, these attacks are launched by South Africa from illegally occupied Namibia, from which such international authorities as the International Court of Justice and the General Assembly of the United Nations have directed South Africa to withdraw.

-7- SWAPO, the liberation movement of Namibia, has been internationally recognized as the legitimate representative of the Namibian people. In occupying Namibia, in making war against SWAPO, South Africa is committing a crime of aggression against the Namibian people. I. These attacks are being perpetrated by a Government which has a r4gime of apartheid within its own territory. Apartheid has been declared a crime against humanity under international law. This South African aggression against Angola is the act of a r~gime which is constantly committing the crime of apartheid on its own territory. 5. The South African actions against Angola constitute a serious threat against world peace and international security and tjerefore, constitute a crime against peace. 6. All those States and organizations which provide economic, military or humanitarian aid to Angola, not only act with complete legitimacy, but also carry out their international dut. as has been reaffirmed by the Security Council in its resolutions. All those States and organizations, which assist South Africa, in whatever form, are accomplices in the crimes committed by that r4gime. All States and organizations which remain indifferent or passive in the face of this situation, are in default of their international obligations.

Annex I REPORT OF THE ANGOLAN AUTHORITIES ON THE ACTS OF AGGRESSION PERPETRATED BY SOUTH AFRICA AGAINST THE TERRITORY OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF ANGOLA Introduction The purpose of the present report, the second on the crimes perpetrated by the South African Armed Forces against Angola, is to make a survey of the killings committed by the racist and apartheid rdgime in southern Africa. The present report will -be completed during the second session of the International Commission of Inquiry into the crimes of South Africa. To prepare this report, the Government of Angola took into account the Conference for Solidarity with SWAPO, which was to be held in Paris. We believe that, with the unveiling of these new crimes, we will be able to awaken international public opinion, and especially the French people - who were the brain of world revolution - the fact that all the South African crimes against our nation have been perpetrated with -ar material made by South Africa under French licence. The people, the party and the Government of Angola, deeply regret the collusion between the South African Government and the French monopolies, not only because France has been the cradle of humanism, but also because it was the first country to yield to the voices of liberation in its African colonies, thus beginning the decolonization of Africa. The lust of man has made him forget his humanism, which was propagated by the great French doctrinarians, amongst whom were Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Lafaytte (Declaration on the Rights of Man and Citizen). That Declaration is still valid. Certain paragraphs are always present in the mind of the progressive people of the world. For example, Article 2: "The aim of any political association is the conservation of the natural and inalienable rights of man. These rights are freedom, property, security and resistance to oppression" We believe that this report, though incomplete, gives an idea of the importance of the crimes perpetrated by racist South Africa, and that their authors will have to respond to them.

-9- I. General considerations The aggressive and criminal actions perpetrated by the racist and apartheid r~gime of South Africa against Angola as well as against other southern African countries are not only openly defying the internatinal community, but are also a great obstacle to social, economic and political development both in Angola and in other neighboring countries. It is superfluous to name the regions or provinces iwhere. these actions take place because they are cited in details in the first report presented by Angola and published by the United Nations. The Government of Angola takes this opportunity to praise the action of the United Nations in favour of the preservation of peace and against the crimes and abuses committed against humanity. The last South African action mentioned in the first report dates from 11 June 1979. It was the bombing by the South African Air Force of the village of Hunbe (3 Camberras, 3 Viirage XIls) which was especially aimed at the engineer camp where the losses were very extensive. Since then, the South African Republic has started actions aimed both at civil and military units. The glorious FAPLA (Forqas Armadas Populares de Libertagao de Angoa) in spite of their still vulnerable defensive capacity, have been able to strike back and stop the Boers' constant attempts to advance. Indeed, when listing the racist South African actions during 1979 our first report to the United Nations states the actions perpetrated between January and June - one notices that their principal targets are the territory and the people of Angola. During 1979, the racist South African Army committed 452 violations of border, which is an increase of 41 per cent since 1978, and 89 bombings and fire attacks. A great frequency was noted between 6 and 15 M-arch 1979, when the South African Air Force launched 26 reconnaissance flights and 44 bombings and machine gun actions on 13 different positions. The most striking actions of 1979 were the air attack on Catengue, on the lumber factory at Huila, on the First Rank School in , as well as the air-transported operations against the LubangoMogamedes railroad and at Morro da Leba and the air-supported land operation against the and Cuamato region. After the adoption of resolution 435 (1978) of the United Nations Security Council aggression increased, reaching its highest level in the last year, not only in terms of the number of attacks, but also because of the means used and the damage caused to economically essential targets. Resolution 435 has never been taken into account by any member of the South African Government. On the contrary, it was completely ignored, and the South African activities against the territory of Angola even increased, under the pretence of pursuing SWAPO, which created a climate of destabilization in the south of our Republic. In December 1979, in an effort to oppose the proposals of the international community, South Africa launched a diplomatic campaign in order to have the "puppet" group, tIIITA, participate in the negotiations, pretending that it was controlling vast areas inside the limits of the denilitarized zone, which was completely false.

-10 - At the beginning of 1980, South Africa endeavoured to make these false statements come true. It launched a series of actions against zur forces which were stationed in the southern part of the country, in order to push them further back and thus help the UNITA bands infiltrate the area. Actually, the armed forces of South Africa launched 618 reconnaissance flights and 53 bombings and strafings, as well as several land actions, the last being an invasion of the South of our country () which lasted 26 days, all during the first semester of 1980. It is to be noted that in the very opinion of the South African Government, this action was the most important one since the 1975 invasion and the bombing of Cassinga in 1978 (which caused 612 dead and 613 wounded among the Namibian refugees). The Government of Angola regrets however that the international community has been unable so far to stop these killings, these crimes against humanity. Similar actions have provoked a strong reaction from the international community in the past, with the result of the creation of the Nuremberg Tribunal and the adotion of several international conventions such as the 1907 Hague Convention on the laws and customs of war, the Geneva Convention of 1949 on the protection of the victims of war, the United Nations resolution on the definition of aggression, the international convention on the elimination and repression of the crime of apartheid,etc. We hope that the common sense of International public opinion will once agairnlet its voice be heard. Let us now enumerate the significant acts of aggression committed since the publication of our first report. II. South African actions from 31 June to 31 December 19T9 Attack of LubanSo Around 10.30 a.m. on 26 September 1979, four South African Mirage il planet and one Buccaneer bombed and launched a rocket attack on the buildings of the "4deiras de Huila" factory in the city of Lubango, as well as on the logistic base of our forces, killing 26 people, injurij:g 34 (military men and civilians), completely destroying the target buildings aid damaging neighbouring buildings. Attack of Xangongo (ex Rocadas) Around 11.30 a.m. on 26 September 1979, four Impala planes and 2 South African Mirage Ills attacked the village of Xangongo, killng 30 persons and injuring 100 (all civilians).

Land attacks at Caluegue and Cuamato Following these actions, South African troops progressed towards Calueque from 28 to 29 November 1979 and occupied the community of Cuamato with 25 skde- car reconnaissance motorcycles, 10 helicopters and an unknown number of Ratel armoured vehicles (recently introduced into the South African armed force t). On 28 November 1979, South African Mirage planes flew over N 'giva Mongua, epd attacked Chatati/Mongua with rockets at 7 a.m. Six Mirage planes constantly circled over tne region on 2F and 29 Toveiber, All this military activity of South Africa hts been widely publicized by the Ministry of Defence of Angola through briefings illustrated with photographs which prove the truthfulness of these criminal actions.

-12 III.South African actions from January to June 1980 We emphasize the fact that this report restricts itself to only the most prominent actions. Furthermore, we do not have complete data concerning a great number of these actions.
