Angola in southwest Africa is about the size of Germany and France combined, but with a fraction of the population, just 12 million people. Over a third live in the capital Luanda. After a protracted and brutal war, Angola won independence from Portugal in 1975. Since then the country has been torn apart by almost continuous civil war – 27 years of it. In April 2002 the warring sides finally signed peace accords, and Angolans could at last look forward to rebuilding their country in peace.
