Iraq is a country located in the Middle East, bordered by Kuwait to the southeast, Saudi Arabia to the south, Jordan to the southwest, Syria to the west, Turkey to the north, and Iran to the east. It has a long history dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, and has been an important center of civilization and trade for thousands of years. Since the early 20th century, Iraq has been embroiled in political turmoil and conflict. It was ruled by a monarchy until a military coup in 1958 overthrew the monarchy and established a republic. In the 1970s, Saddam Hussein came to power and ruled the country with an iron fist until his ouster in 2003 by a U.S.-led coalition during the Iraq War. Since then, Iraq has struggled to establish a stable and democratic government, and has faced numerous challenges including ongoing conflicts with various militant groups, economic instability, and political corruption. The country has a diverse population, with a mix of Arab, Kurdish, and Turkmen ethnicities, as well as a variety of religious sects, including Shia and Sunni Muslims, Christians, and Yazidis. Despite these challenges, Iraq has made some progress in recent years towards stability and reconstruction, and has significant oil reserves which have the potential to drive economic development in the country. However, it continues to face significant political and security challenges, and the situation remains volatile.

Angola has a long history of political instability and conflict. From 1975 to 2002, the country was embroiled in a civil war that killed an estimated 500,000 people and displaced millions. In 2002, a peace agreement was signed, bringing an end to the fighting and paving the way for the country's first democratic elections in more than 20 years. Since then, Angola has made significant progress in rebuilding its infrastructure and economy, which had been severely damaged by the war. The country is rich in natural resources, including oil and diamonds, and has become a major oil producer in Africa.
