Cafunfo is a village in North-Eastern Angola dominated by the informal and formal diamond mining industries. The area has numerous alluvial diamond deposits. During the 1980s and 1990s it was the subject of heavy fighting between UNITA and FAPLA or FAA on multiple occasions; and on at least two occasions foreign mineworkers were held hostage by UNITA during that period, including on one occasion involving a forced march to UNITA's Headquarters at Jamba in the South of the country.
