Angola is a country located in southern Africa. It is bordered by Namibia to the south, Zambia to the east, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north. The capital of Angola is Luanda. 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. However, despite its economic growth, Angola still faces challenges such as high poverty rates and a lack of access to education and healthcare for many of its citizens. In terms of international relations, Angola is a member of the African Union and the Southern African Development Community, and it has strong ties with other African countries as well as with China, Brazil, and Russia. The country has also played a role in regional peacekeeping efforts, including in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Sudan.
