Angola Information

Angola was a Portuguese colony, although very little settlement was made inland from Luanda.

Instead, the colonists shipped slaves from here to Brazil.

Countries neighbouring Angola are: Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Namibia.

Angola's recent history, since independence in 1975, has been bloody.

More than 400,000 have died, and even in peace, hidden land mines continue to tear off limbs and claim lives.

The late Princess Diana brought this to world attention, and let us hope that the publicity from her death can save the lives of many thousands around the world.
