Caianda is a town in Moxico Leste Province, which is in the northeastern part of Angola, adjacent to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Location
[edit]The town is a few kilometers from Zambia. It is located on the road between Luena, the capital of Moxico Province, and Mwinilunga in Zambia.
Recent history
[edit]In 2004, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) began organising the repatriation of over 71,000 Angolan refugees from Zambia.[1] The first refugees returned by air, but a new land corridor from Zambia via Caianda for remaining refugees.[2]
The refugees left Angola beginning in 1974 during the fighting between UNITA and MPLA forces.[3]
