Cabinda in Angola ANGOLA angola. cabinda Informations and links Cabinda Map Cabinda Photos Cabinda ------------------------------- Cabinda is a small territory, administered as an exclave of Angola. Its status as a province of Angola has been disputed by many political organizations in the territory; however a new peace deal may end the fighting. The capital is also known as Cabinda Modern Cabinda results from the fusion of three kingdoms: N'Goyo, Loango and Kacongo. It is 7,283 km? in area, and has a population of 300,000 inhabitants. According to 1988 US government statistics, the total population of the province was 147,200, with a near even split between total rural and urban populations. About one third of Cabindans are refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (known as Za?re until 1997). It is separated from Angola by DR Congo, which bounds the province on the south and the east. Cabinda is bounded on the north by the Republic of the Congo, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Adjacent to the coast are some of the biggest oilfields of the world; the exploration began in 1954. Cabinda produces hardwoods, coffee, cacao, rubber, and palm oil products. Petroleum production began in 1968 and now accounts for most of Angola's production. Cabinda produces 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Cabinda Oil is associated with Sonangol, Agip Angola Lda. The Sonangol has (41%), Chevron (39.2%) Total (10%) and Eni (9.8%). (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Civil war has been the norm in Angola since independence from Portugal in 1975. A 1994 peace accord between the government and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) provided for the integration of former UNITA insurgents into the government and armed forces. A national unity government was installed in April of 1997, but serious fighting resumed in late 1998, rendering hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost in fighting over the past quarter century. The death of insurgent leader Jonas SAVIMBI in 2002 and a subsequent cease-fire with UNITA may bode well for the country..
