Abstract

After four decades of conflict, the cease-fire signed in April 2002 offers Angola the best opportunity in generations to forge a more equitable growth path, and to reformulate a governing apparatus that serves the needs of the population. Given that the balance of power has definitively shifted to the government, the peace is likely to be durable. Unlike other countries in southern Africa however, Angola is not facing an unusual drought year. The Angolan emergency is essentially linked to war and governance. The war destroyed infrastructure throughout the country, forced millions to move, and razed communities through scorched-earth tactics. Human rights were violated, women raped, men abducted. Millions went hungry and died. Entire generations have been pressed-ganged into warfare, killed, or simply disappeared.
