| Tlo historyczne | Civil war has been the norm w Angola since independence from Portugalia w 1975. A 1994 peace accord between the government and the National Union dla the Total Niepodleglosc of Angola (UNITA) provided dla the integration of former UNITA insurgents into the government and armed forces. A national unity government was installed w kwiecien of 1997, but serious fighting resumed w late 1998, rendering hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost w fighting over the past quarter century. The death of insurgent leader Jonas SAVIMBI w 2002 and a subsequent cease-fire z UNITA may bode well dla the country. | Angola has begun to enjoy the fruits of peace since the end of a 27-year civil war w 2002. Fighting between the Popular Movement dla the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), led by Jose Eduardo DOS SANTOS, and the National Union dla the Total Niepodleglosc of Angola (UNITA), led by Jonas SAVIMBI, followed independence from Portugalia w 1975. Peace seemed imminent w 1992 when Angola held national elections, but UNITA renewed fighting after being beaten by the MPLA at the polls. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost - and 4 million people displaced - w the quarter century of fighting. SAVIMBI's death w 2002 ended UNITA's insurgency and strengthened the MPLA's hold on power. DOS SANTOS has pledged to hold national elections w 2006. |

An apparently durable peace was established after the death of rebel leader Jonas SAVIMBI on luty 22, 2002, but consequences from the conflict continue including the impact of wide-spread land mines. Subsistence agriculture provides the main livelihood dla 85% of the population. Oil production and the supporting activities are vital to the economy, contributing about 45% to Produkt krajowy brutto and more than half of exports. Much of the country's food must still be imported. To fully take advantage of its rich natural resources - gold, diamonds, extensive forests, Atlantic fisheries, and large oil deposits - Angola will need to continue reforming government policies. While Angola made progress w bringing inflation down further, from 325% w 2000 to about 106% w 2002, the government has failed to make sufficient progress on reforms recommended by the IMF such as increasing foreign exchange reserves and promoting greater transparency w government spending. Increased oil production should bring about 6% Produkt krajowy brutto growth w 2003. | Angola has been an economy w disarray because of a quarter century of nearly continuous warfare.
