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.
