Shows the human face of Angola at a critical juncture in its history. Jonas Savimbi, leader of the rebel movement UNITA, was killed in February 2002. UNITA collapsed, giving Angola its first extended period of peace, since the nationalist uprising against Portuguese rule in the 1960s. This is a story of the extremes of the human condition.

Bogen konkluderer, at der først vil blive fred i Angola, når ingen af de krigsførende parter er i stand til at føre krig mod hinanden.10 års forgæves forsøg på ad forhandlingens vej at opnå fred må erstattes af effektive modforholdsregler over for det sorte marked i Afrika, kontrol med strømmen af varer ind og ud af Angola og overholdelsen af embargoen over for UNITA.

After more than twenty years of devastating civil war, Angola is slowly moving toward peace and reconciliation. In this accessible introduction to one of the most resource-rich countries in Africa, Inge Tvedten traces Angola’s turbulent past with a particular focus on the effects of political and economic upheaval on the Angolan people. First, Tvedten reviews five centuries of Portuguese colonial rule, which drained Angola’s resources through slavery and exploitation. Next, he turns to the postindependence period, during which the country became a Cold War staging ground and its attempts to democratize collapsed when the rebel movement UNITA (until then supported by the United States) took the country back to war after electoral defeat. Tvedten shows how the colonial legacy and decades of war turned Angola into one of the ten poorest countries in the world in terms of socioeconomic indicators, despite its possessing considerable oil resources, huge hydroelectric potential, vast and fertile agricultural lands, and some of Africa’s most productive fishing waters. Finally, Tvedten argues that peace and prosperity for Angola are possible, but constructive international support will be crucial to its achievement.
