Operation Restore

Operation Restore (Operaçao Restaurar) is a highly successful military operation that the Angolan government (with the help of the Brazilian Air Force) conducted against UNITA rebels in Autumn 1999 during the civil war.

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.
