Operation Restore

Operation Restore (Portuguese: Restaurar da Operaçao) is a highly successful military operation that the Angolan government conducted against UNITA rebels in Autumn 1999 during the civil war.[1]

The government captured Andulo and Bailundo. By December Chief of Staff General João de Matos said the Angolan Armed Forces had destroyed 80% of UNITA's militant wing and captured 15,000 tons of military equipment.[1]
