Angola’s Measured Distance from International Organizations
AngolaAngola’s ruling party, the Movimento Popular para Libertação de Angola (MPLA), has dominated politics in the southern African country since independence from Portugal in 1975. However, for much of its history—since emerging as a nationalist movement in the late 1950s through the liberation struggle of the 1960s, the transition to independence in the early 1970s, and the traumatic post-independence period dominated by a vicious and protracte…
Au-delà du pétro-militarisme
Comme les régimes militaires au Nigeria, l'Angola dispose, pour se repositionner sur la scène régionale et internationale, de sa rente pétrolière et de sa capacité militaire. À la recherche d'un statut de pays leader semblable à celui de l'Afrique du Sud, les dirigeants angolais ont pris conscience de leurs limites et se concentrent sur le Golfe de Guinée et l'Afrique centrale. Leur politique de diversification économique vise à attirer des inves…
Angola
Angola’s four decades of conflict ended in 2002 shortly after the death of rebel leader Jonas Savimbi in combat. In important ways, Savimbi’s death marked the final victory of the revolutionary forces that participated in the various phases of Angola’s complex and interrelated conflicts that started in 1961 with the anticolonial war and then evolved into a long and protracted postcolonial civil war. The length and violence of the conflict are rel…

Diamonds are a guerrilla's best friend
Current internal wars in Africa are increasingly being driven by the desire to control important sources of revenue, not by revolutionary ideals of redressing real or perceived injustices. It is not accidental that some of the nastiest wars in Africa are being fought in countries richly endowed with natural resources. This paper deals with Angola, a potentially rich country ravaged by war since independence. It suggests that control of important …
Making war & lots of money
The civil war in Angola has mutated into a major criminal enterprise. Once regarded as a conflict caused primarily by ethnic and class divisions exacerbated by Cold War ideological rivalries, Angola's protracted conflict is now a convenient cover used by the elites commanding the principal antagonists ‐ the governing Movimento Popular de Libertacao de Angola (MPLA) and the rebel Uniao Nacional para Independencia Total de Angola (UNITA) movement ‐…

The UN in Mozambique and Angola
The outcomes of recent peace‐building efforts in Africa ‐ often a relapse into war, not sustainable peace ‐ have led to much debate about the internal and external dimensions and factors that determine either success or failure in a peace‐building mission. The internal aspects often revolve around the ability to reach a consensus on how to share both political and economic power. However, increasingly the viability of most peace‐building efforts …
