National Union for the Total Independence of Angola

União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola

The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, better known by its acronym UNITA, is an Angolan party, founded in 1966, by dissidents of FNLA and GRAE, of which Jonas Savimbi, founder of UNITA, was foreign minister. UNITA is the second largest party in Angola, and is also the largest opposition party in the country. In the 2012 parliamentary election the party won 32 out of 220 seats in the Angolan National Assembly. The party is also known by the acronym "Black Rooster", in reference to the figure of a rooster present in the party's flag. During the Angolan Civil War, UNITA received military aid mainly from the United States and South Africa, while the MPLA received support from the Soviet Union and its allies. Since the end of the Civil War in 2002 UNITA abandoned the armed struggle, becoming a political party.
