Angola: the peace is not yet fully won

David Simon

Review of African Political Economy, 1998, vol. 25, issue 77, 495-503

Abstract: The ongoing war has exacted a terrible toll on Angola and its people. Potentially one of Africa's richest countries, with diverse natural resources and agro‐ecological zones suited to the growing of a wide range of food and cash crops, it has been reduced to abject poverty. Several million people ‐ over a quarter of the estimated total population of 11–12 million ‐ have been displaced from their homes, often losing all their possessions and means of livelihood. Many have fled to the major cities or across the borders to neighbouring countries; still others have found refuge in other rural areas or have been taken captive by UNITA.
