A rebel group in Angola says it has killed 10
soldier and wounded nine in fighting in the oil-producing Cabinda
region.
The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda
(FLEC), which wants independence for a region which accounts for half of
Angola's oil output, has taken a more militant stance since the death of
its 88-year-old founder Nzita Tiago earlier this year in exile in France,
Reuters says.
In its statement on Monday, FLEC also called
on China's government to repatriate all its citizens in the
oil-producing area as their presence "constitutes a provocation", the
agency reports.
