Angola, officially the Republic of Angola
(Portuguese: República de Angola, pronounced IPA: [ʁɛ'publikɐ dɨ ɐ̃'gɔlɐ] Kongo:
Repubilika ya Ngola), is a country in south-central Africa bordering Namibia to
the south, Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, and Zambia to the
east, and with a west coast along the Atlantic Ocean. The exclave province
Cabinda has a border with the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic
of the Congo. Angola was a Portuguese colony from the 16th century to 1975. The
country is the second-largest petroleum and diamond producer in sub-Saharan
Africa, yet its people are among the continent's poorest. According to the
International Monetary Fund, more than $4 billion in oil receipts have
disappeared from Angola's treasury in the 2000s. In August 2006, a peace deal
was signed with separatist rebels from the Cabinda exclave in the North. About
65% of Angola's oil comes from that region.
