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.
But they still face enormous problems. Angola is one of the ten poorest countries in the world, where according to UN figures, 82% of people live on less than a dollar a day. And yet its a country with enormous oil wealth, whose government earns more than five billion dollars a year in oil revenues.
