KINSHASA, Zaire — Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi left for home Friday to implement a cease-fire that will end 14 years of civil war with Angola's Marxist government. Shooting was to stop at midnight Friday (4 p.m. PDT).
The leader of the U.S.-backed rebels and Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos signed the truce and sealed it with a handshake late Thursday at a special African summit here to promote peace in Angola.
