Since Savimbi's death, UNITA has fallen apart as a political and a military force.  In November 2002, UNITA forces agreed to turn in their arms and join the government as a legitimate political party.  The United Nations and the United States government have subsequently lifted sanctions on UNITA in recognition of their transformation.  Although Angola's problems are still numerous, UNITA terrorism is no longer one of them.

It is believed that UANF finance their operations through extortion and ransom money from kidnappings.

About a month following the release of the State customs officials, UANF leader, Nemos Marak, and his deputy, Shalang Sangma, were apprehended in Dhaka by Bangladeshi Army personnel at the behest of the Indian government.  However, the men were alledgedly killed a few days later, along with 10 other militants, during a RAB raid on a UANF-affiliated hideout along the India-Bangladesh border.  In late December 2006, the UANF General Secretary, Bromit A. Sangma, and another senior leader, Treson M. Sangma, surrendered to the State's Deputy Inspector General in the city of Tura, in West Garo Hills.     <p><br />Since the UANF maintains ties with other nationalist groups in the region, it is possible that they will remain a minimal threat. However, the UANF's strength is undoubtedly weaker from the dismantling of key leadership, which could lead current members to join more active groups.

The United Anti-Reelection Command (UARC) was the name adopted by gunmen who kidnapped Lieutenant Colonel Donald J. Crowley, U.S. air attach&eacute; in the Dominican Republic, in 1970.  The UARC was a faction of the Movimiento Popular Dominicano (MPD), a Maoist left-wing movement led by Maximiliano Gomez. <P><br /><br />In 1970, Dominican President Joaquin Balaguer facilitated a change in his country's constitution which allowed him to run for a second term of office.  Many in the country opposed Balaguer's decision and none more strongly than the MPD.  On March 24, 1970, six men kidnapped Crowley and demanded that the government release 21 political prisoners in a ceremony in Santo Domingo, the country's capital.  Although the kidnappers called themselves the United Anti-Reelection Command, it was widely believed that the group was made up of MPD cadres.  Indeed many of the prisoners who were to be released were MPD members, chief among them Maximiliano Gomez. <P><br /><br />After several rounds of negotiations, the government agreed to release 20 prisoners, not in a ceremony, but to exile in Mexico.  The prisoners were put on a plane, (Gomez was among them), but were not allowed to take off until Crowley had been freed.  On March 26, Crowley was released unharmed and the plane took the prisoners to Mexico.  <P><br /><br />The kidnapping incident proved to be a mistake for the MPD and its UARC proxies.  After Crowley was released, the Balaguer government ruthlessly cracked down on left-wing elements, killing several top MPD leaders in the Dominican Republic.  Gomez died a month later in exile in Belgium under suspicious circumstances.  The MPD was severely marginalized, and the UARC moniker was not heard from again.  <br />
