ANGOLA | UMA DAS ECONOMIAS QUE MAIS CRESCE NO MUNDO | MAIORES CIDADES
Angola, oficialmente República de Angola, é um país da costa ocidental de África, cujo território principal é limitado a norte e a nordeste pela República Democrática do Congo, a leste pela Zâmbia, a sul pela Namíbia e a oeste pelo Oceano Atlântico. Inclui também o exclave de Cabinda, através do qual faz fronteira com a República do Congo, a norte. Para além dos vizinhos já mencionados, Angola é o país mais próximo da colónia britânica de Santa Helena.
O país tem vastos recursos naturais, como grande reservas de minerais e de petróleo e, desde 1990, sua economia tem apresentado taxas de crescimento que estão entre as maiores do mundo, especialmente depois do fim da guerra civil. No entanto, os padrões de vida angolanos continuam baixos e cerca de 70% da população vive com menos de dois dólares por dia, enquanto as taxas de expectativa de vida e mortalidade infantil no país continuam entre as piores do mundo, além da presença proeminente da desigualdade económica, visto que a maioria da riqueza do país está concentrada numa parte desproporcionalmente pequena da população. Angola também é considerada um dos países menos desenvolvidos do planeta conforme a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) e um dos mais corruptos do mundo pela Transparência Internacional.

map of Angola
Angola (/ænˈɡoʊlə/ (audio speaker iconlisten); Portuguese: [ɐ̃ˈɡɔlɐ]), officially the Republic of Angola (Portuguese: República de Angola), is a country on the west coast of Southern Africa. It is the second-largest Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) country in both total area and population (behind Brazil), and is the seventh-largest country in Africa. It is bordered by Namibia to the south, the DR Congo to the north, Zambia to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Angola has an exclave province, the province of Cabinda, that borders the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The capital and most populated city is Luanda.
Angola has been inhabited since the Paleolithic Age. Its formation as a nation-state originates from Portuguese colonisation, which initially began with coastal settlements and trading posts founded in the 16th century. In the 19th century, European settlers gradually began to establish themselves in the interior. The Portuguese colony that became Angola did not have its present borders until the early 20th century, owing to resistance by native groups such as the Cuamato, the Kwanyama and the Mbunda.
After a protracted anti-colonial struggle, Angola achieved independence in 1975 as a Marxist–Leninist one-party Republic. The country descended into a devastating civil war the same year, between the ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba, the insurgent anti-communist National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), supported by the United States and South Africa, and the militant organisation National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA), backed by the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country has been governed by MPLA ever since its independence in 1975. Following the end of the war in 2002, Angola emerged as a relatively stable unitary, presidential constitutional republic.
Angola has vast mineral and petroleum reserves, and its economy is among the fastest-growing in the world, especially since the end of the civil war; however, economic growth is highly uneven, with most of the nation's wealth concentrated in a disproportionately small sector of the population and highly concentrated in China and in the United States.[7] The standard of living remains low for most Angolans; life expectancy is among the lowest in the world, while infant mortality is among the highest.[8] Since 2017, the government of João Lourenço has made fighting corruption its flagship, so much so that many individuals of the previous government are either jailed or awaiting trial. Whilst this effort has been recognised by foreign diplomats to be legitimate,[9] some skeptics see the actions as being politically motivated.
Angola is a member of the United Nations, OPEC, African Union, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, and the Southern African Development Community. As of 2021, the Angolan population is estimated at 32.87 million. Angola is multicultural and multiethnic. Angolan culture reflects centuries of Portuguese rule, namely the predominance of the Portuguese language and of the Catholic Church, intermingled with a variety of indigenous customs and traditions. mapa de Angola As of March 2016, Angola is divided into eighteen provinces (províncias) and 162 municipalities. The municipalities are further divided into 559 communes (townships).[50] The provinces are:

mapa de Angola [ Africa ]
Angola, cuyo nombre oficial es República de Angola (en portugués, República de Angola), es un país ubicado al sur de África que tiene fronteras con Namibia por el sur, con la República Democrática del Congo y la República del Congo por el norte y con Zambia por el este, mientras que hacia el oeste tiene costa bañada por el océano Atlántico. Su capital es Luanda y al norte del país se encuentra el exclave de Cabinda, que tiene fronteras con la República del Congo y con la República Democrática del Congo.
Los portugueses estuvieron presentes en diversos puntos de la costa que hoy pertenece a Angola desde el siglo XVI e interactuaron de diversas maneras con los nativos. La presencia portuguesa se afianzó en siglo XIX con su penetración hacia el interior del territorio y su ocupación efectiva para considerarla una colonia de los europeos, tal y como se estipuló en la conferencia de Berlín de 1884. La consolidación de la colonización no se produjo sino hasta la década de 1920, después del sometimiento del pueblo Mbunda y el secuestro de su rey, Mwene Mbandu Kapova I.
Angola consiguió su independencia de Portugal en 1975, después de una larga guerra. Sin embargo, una vez emancipado, el nuevo país se vio inmerso en una intensa y duradera guerra civil que se prolongó desde 1975 hasta 2002. El país posee abundantes yacimientos minerales y petrolíferos, y su economía ha crecido a un ritmo muy alto desde los años 1990, especialmente desde el final de la guerra civil. A pesar de ello, el nivel de vida de la mayor parte de los angoleños es muy bajo, y sus índices de expectativa de vida y mortalidad infantil están entre los peores del mundo.6 Es un país con grandes desigualdades económicas, pues la mayor parte de la riqueza está en manos de un porcentaje muy pequeño de sus habitantes.
Su sistema de gobierno es la democracia multipartidista, con un régimen presidencialista. Es miembro de la Unión Africana, de la Comunidad de Países de Lengua Portuguesa y de la Comunidad de Desarrollo de África Austral. Angola está dividida en 18 provincias:
N.º Provincia Capital Área (km²)
1 Bengo Caxito 31.371
2 Benguela Benguela 31.788
3 Bié Kuito 70.314
4 Cabinda Cabinda 7.270
5 Kuando Kubango Menongue 199.049
6 Kwanza-Norte N'Dalatando 24.190
7 Kwanza-Sul Sumbe 55.660

Exclave de Cabinda
Artículo principal: Provincia de Cabinda
Mapa de la provincia de Cabinda.
Con un área de aproximadamente 7.283 kilómetros cuadrados, la provincia norteña de Cabinda es la única separada del resto del país por una franja de aproximadamente 60 kilómetros de ancho, perteneciente a la República Democrática de Congo (RDC) que discurre a lo largo del río Congo. Cabinda limita al norte en la República del Congo, y al este y al sur con la República Democrática del Congo. La ciudad de Cabinda es el principal núcleo de población.
Según el censo de 1995, Cabinda tenía una población estimada de 600.000. Sin embargo, las estimaciones demográficas no son demasiado fiables. Consistiendo en gran parte en bosque tropical, Cabinda produce maderas duras, café, cacao, caucho ordinario y aceite de palma. Sin embargo el producto por el que es más conocida es el petróleo, que le ha dado el apodo de Kuwait de África. La producción de petróleo de Cabinda, procedente de sus considerables reservas, representa más de la mitad de las exportaciones de Angola hoy por hoy. La mayor parte del petróleo a lo largo de su costa fue descubierto bajo la administración portuguesa por la Compañía petrolera del Golfo de Cabinda (CABGOC) a partir de 1968.
En aquel entonces Portugal entregó la soberanía de su antigua provincia de ultramar a los grupos locales independentistas (MPLA, UNITA, y FNLA), y el territorio de Cabinda ha sido un foco de acciones separatistas guerrilleras que se oponen al Gobierno de Angola (que ha empleado sus fuerzas militares, el FAA - Forças Armadas Angolanas). Los separatistas de Cabinda, FLEC-FAC, anunciaron una República federal virtual de Cabinda bajo la Presidencia de Henriques Tiago N'Zita. Una de las características del movimiento de independencia de Cabinda es su fragmentación constante, en facciones cada vez más pequeñas, en un proceso que aunque no está totalmente instigado por el gobierno angoleño, indudablemente está fomentado y debidamente explotado por aquel.
Geografía map of Angola Africa
Huambo is the third largest city in Angola, with a population of 595,304
Huambo, formerly Nova Lisboa, English New Lisbon, city, west-central Angola. It lies south of the Cuanza River on the Bié Plateau at an elevation of 5,581 feet (1,701 metres) and has a temperate climate. The city was founded in 1912 by Portuguese settlers and workers on the Benguela Railway, which was then under construction. It was first called Huambo but was renamed Nova Lisboa in 1928. Following Angola’s independence in 1975, the city’s original name was restored. The city became the headquarters of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), a guerrilla movement.
The historically important Benguela Railway passes through Huambo on its way from Lobito on the Atlantic coast eastward through central Angola to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Owing to this strategic location, Huambo was a transportation centre with one of the largest rail-repair shops in Africa prior to Angola’s civil war (1975–2002). The railway’s operation, however, was repeatedly disrupted by forces of UNITA during the war and often did not run east of the city, if at all. The city of Huambo suffered serious damage during the conflict, as it was the site of much fighting, including a fierce battle and siege in 1993. After the end of the war, sections of the Benguela Railway underwent repairs, and some stretches were reopened for use, which aided in reconstruction efforts in the city and surrounding area. Coffee, wheat, and corn (maize) have been grown in the area around the city.
