Amunyela joined the Swapo Party in 1970 and went into exile four years later.

He was trained in infantry at Kasapa in Angola, and in 1976 he was deployed to the North Western Front.

The same year, he went to Cassinga and Lubango, respectively, where they established the Tobias Hainyeko Training Centre.
