ANGOLAN POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS, 1992

Abstract

The current research focuses on Angola in terms of its location and demographics. Reference
is made to the period during which Angola had been exposed to Portuguese colonialism, then
the outbreak of Angolan civil war 1975-1991. A long conflict exposed the country to severe
human and economic losses that no other African country witnessed.
The research also examines the extension of the Angolan civil war during 1992. This period
was described as a period of neither war nor peace. When the United Nations, Portugal,
Russia, and the USA tried to implement “Bicesse Accords” to end the conflict, it couldn’t be
achieved. UNITA had continued its policy of procrastination and clashed with the Angolan
government in several battles throughout the country in 1992. In this conflict, thousands of
the country's population had been killed, civilian and military, as well as the country
economy was exhausted
