  3. During the period when Angola was a Portuguese colony it was a source of slaves. Many people from Portugal went to live in Angola and they lived better than the Angolian people. But in 1975 Angola became independant. Soon afterwars a civil war started.

  4. For several decades, Angola was ravaged by wars. For a longtime the country was a ground for the conflict between the great powers of the East and the West. In 2002 the there were prospects of establishing lasting peace outline and returning millions of internal migrants in their places. On the parliamentary elections, held on 5 and 6September2008, the ruling party National Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) won 81% of the votes and the main opposition party National Union for the absolute independence of Angola (UNITA) won only 10%.

  5. State form: Presidential Republic Head of state: President Legislature: National Assembly of 220 deputies (elected for 4 years) Subdivisions: 18 provinces, Cabinda exclave Jose Eduardo dos Santos is the second president of Angola on 10 September 1979 Policy:

  6. “Angolagate” Angolagate is an international political affair with the illegal trade of weapons to Angola. The scandal erupted in 1997 concerns the French and the Angolan politicians and an Israeli businessman. On December 6, 2008 begins the trial. It ended on 27 October 2009.

  7. Economy: • GDP - $ 11.5 billion •  GNP (per capita) - $ 1,030 • Foreign Trade:         Imports: $ 3.2 billion         Exports: $ 6.5 billion • Government debt: $ 9.2 billion • In the recent yearsAngola's economy underwent rapid transformationsAngola occupies a leading position for the fastest growing economy in Africa • For 2005 Angola notes growth of 18% • In 2006. - 26% • By the end of the decade - 10% • The revenues from the high oil exports will be invested in the infrastructure of the country.

  8. The plantation farming has been leading the economy of Angola for many years, but after the independence the white traders and specialists, as well as seasonal workers left the high plateau and that leaded to a complete collapse of traditional crisis and the labor market. By 1990 the amount of exports has drastically reduced.There wasn’t any international marketing.

  9. Current issues Today most of the internal infrastructure is destroyed. Transport links, repeatedly destroyed during the civil war, are waiting to be repaired. From 78 000km roads, only 18 000 km consist of reinforced roads. Dissemination of information and communications is also underdeveloped. Their improvement would allow Angola to resume its tourism and to improve the economy.

  10. . Today one of the most current problems in Angola is the problem of the refugees. Their number reached 4.1 million - the largest number in the world. The reasons for these processes are versatile. On the one hand is exerted on civilians violence and on the other the deterioration of soil quality is also a reason for migration. Deforestation helps people to support themselves by selling coal,but also leads to the disappearance of natural sources of food. This has also caused many people to flee from the consequences of war and famine.

  11. Cabinda • In Cabinda, there is a strong separatist movement for secession from Angola and creation of an independent and sovereign Cabinda. The most powerful movement is FLEC. On January 8, 2010 FLEC attacked the national football team of Togo, located in Angola for the African Cup 2010. In the attack three delegates were killed and players and members of the team were injured.

  12. Large areas strewn with landmines - a reduced number of arable land Destroyed infrastructure, destabilized economy Removing the remained mines – increasing the number of farmland Concluding bilateral agreements with the economically developed countries Problems and Solutions:

  13. 3. Lack of skillful personnel 4. Inability to absorb the natural resources 5. Poor hygiene and multiple diseases 3. Sending foreign professionals 4. Changing domestic policy (tight control) 5. Construction of hospitals and information centers

  14. How can we help? If we have the opportunity to touch the atmosphere of life in Angola, then our team would help in improving awareness of the population. Each team member has expertise in different areas and we are confident that we would be useful to the local population. For a start we could explain the essential hygiene rules in order to prevent various diseases.
