The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (Portuguese: União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola) (UNITA) is the second-largest political party in Angola. Founded in 1966, UNITA fought alongside the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in the Angolan War for Independence (1961–1975) and then against the MPLA in the ensuing civil war (1975–2002).

The war was one of the most prominent Cold War proxy wars, with UNITA receiving military aid from the United States and South Africa while the MPLA received support from the Soviet Union and its allies.

UNITA was led by Jonas Savimbi from its foundation until his death in 2002. His successor as President of UNITA is Isaías Samakuva. Following Savimbi's death, UNITA abandoned armed struggle and participated in electoral politics. The party won 16 out of 220 seats in the 2008 parliamentary election.

Jonas Savimbi and Antonio da Costa Fernandes founded UNITA on March 13, 1966 in Muangai in Angola's Moxico province, in Portuguese Angola (during the Estado Novo regime). UNITA launched its first attack on Portuguese colonial authorities on December 25 that same year. 200 other delegates were present in the event.

José Pedro Alves Salazar, known as José Pedro (born 18 October 1978 in Montijo, Setúbal), is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Vitória de Setúbal in the Portuguese first division, as an attacking midfielder.

Zé Pedro started playing professional football for his hometown club, then moved to F.C. Barreirense for five seasons. He split duties in 2002–03 between Boavista F.C. and A.D. Ovarense.

In 2003–04, Pedro was influential in Vitória Futebol Clube's season, as the Setúbal-based club earned a top flight return. He subsequently joined C.F. Os Belenenses, where he was immediately cast into the starting XI.

In 2006–07, Pedro netted eight league goals for a Belenenses fifth final place in the league (with UEFA Cup qualification), while the team was also runner-up in the domestic cup. He repeated the individual feat in the following season, and remained an automatic first-choice until 2009–10, when he dealt with many injuries and the Lisbon side was also relegated, as second from bottom.

In July 2010, at nearly 32 years of age, Pedro returned to Vitória Setúbal after a six-year absence.
