Delays in the demobilisation of UNITA troops meant the process was behind schedule, making progress even more difficult during the rainy season. The delays, particularly by UNITA, were unacceptable for the Council. However positive steps included the arrival of UNITA generals for service in the unified army, the quartering of 63,000 troops, the surrender of heavy weapons, selection of 10,000 UNITA troops for the unified army, the beginning of the demobilisation of underaged personnel and UNITA's proposal regarding the special status of its leader.
