Angola
INTRODUCTION
Formerly Portuguese West Africa, officially Republic of Angola, independent state in south-western Africa, bordered on the north and east by the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaïre), on the east by Zambia, on the south by Namibia, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. A small exclave, Cabinda, is located some 30 km (19 mi) to the north and is bounded on the north by the Republic of the Congo, on the east and south by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Angola has a coastline of more than 1,600 km (994 mi) and a total area of 1,246,700 sq km (481,350 sq mi). The capital of Angola is Luanda. Civil war has been the norm since independence from Portugal in 1975 until the mid-1990s, resulting in widespread destruction of the country's infrastructure and large areas blighted by the laying of 10 million landmines.
