Sign in to edit

Jorge Ornelas Isaac Sangumba (1944–1982)[citation needed] served as the Foreign Minister of UNITA during the Angolan War of Independence.[1]

Sangumba studied in the United States before joining the National Union of Angolan Students (UNEA) in the early 1960s. In 1965 he became UNEA's representative for external affairs, a precursor for his future appointment as UNITA's Foreign Minister in August 1969.[1]

Jonas Savimbi, leader of UNITA, allegedly ordered Sangumba's assassination along with several other potential rivals for leadership of UNITA during the Angolan Civil War.[2]
