Angolan president condemns rebel attack on Togo team

Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos on Sunday condemned the deadly rebel attack on Togo’s national football team, as he opened the Africa Cup of Nations in Luanda.

At least two people were killed and nine wounded Friday when separatist rebels ambushed Togo’s convoy in the restive province of Cabinda, where they were due to play their first match on Monday.

“We condemn this act of terror, but the competition will continue in Cabinda,” Dos Santos said.

“We are together, may the best man win,” he added.
