    Angola's New President

    Angola’s new president Reforming to survive Paula Cristina Roque President João Lourenço – who replaced José Eduardo dos Santos in 2017 – has been credited with significant progress in fighting corruption and opening up the political space in Angola. But this has been achieved against a backdrop of economic decline and deepening poverty. Lourenço’s first two years in office are also characterised by the politicisation of the security apparatus, which holds significant risks for the country. SOUTHERN AFRICA REPORT 38 | APRIL 2020 Key findings The anti-corruption drive is not transparent While fear was endemic among the people and President João Lourenço is accused of under Dos Santos, there is now ‘fear among targeting political opponents and protecting the elites’ due to the perceived politicised those who support him. anti-corruption drive.

    Post-War State-Making in the Angolan Periphery

    165 RECHERCHES Ricardo Soares de Oliveira “O Governo Está Aqui”: Post-war State-Making in the Angolan Periphery For the duration of Angola’s twenty-seven-year civil war, the central state did not control up to 80% of its nominal territory. In the aftermath of its 2002 victory over the Unita rebels, however, the oil-rich MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola) regime enthusiastically embraced the commitment to build a self-styled “modern state” across Angola. The resulting effort to break out of the enclaves it had long held and occupy the vast and sparsely populated territory, extend civil administration and rebuild infrastructure is a key political dynamic in present-day Angola. This article is an attempt at understanding the post-2002 state-building drive in Angola’s periphery through the prism of both the regime’s ambitions and the historical trajectory of the Angolan state and centre-periphery relations. The article argues that there is a clear project of establishing state hegemony across Angola 1. Though phrased in developmental terms, this is SULPDULO\DERXWWKHDFKLHYHPHQWRISROLWLFDOFRQWURO7KHÀUVWVHFWLRQEULHÁ\ surveys the challenges faced by state builders in Angola from the pre-Scramble colonial pockets to the last years of the civil war. It posits that the MPLA’s state rationalities and methods on the periphery must be understood historically in terms of the existence of a coastal and urban culture of the state; a long-extraverted economy; and the political geography and logistical limitations that severely hamper the broadcasting of state power. All of these have elicited striking continuities in the pattern of centre-periphery relations.

    2007 Outubro 06-13 Imperícia, Falta De Independência Do Judiciário Ou Parcialidade? Três Actos Da Trama Que Condenou Graça Campos

    2007 Outubro 06-13 Imperícia, falta de independência do judiciário ou parcialidade? Três actos da trama que condenou Graça Campos O julgamento que condenou Graça Campos a oito meses de prisão efectiva e ao pagamento de uma indemnização de 250 mil dólares a Paulo Tjipilica foi feito à revelia, decorrendo na sua ausência e também na dos seus representantes legais. A 25 de Agosto último, quando o juiz Pedro Viana reuniu o tribunal para deliberar a acção em que o Provedor de Justiça pedia que Graça Campos fosse condenado e reparasse alegados crimes de injúria e difamação por via de uma indemnização, o jornalista não se encontrava em Angola. Os seus advogados, João Gourgel e Paulo Rangel, não estavam avisados da ocorrência do julgamento e também não compareceram ao tribunal. Quando, regressado ao país, o jornalista se apercebeu do desenrolar dos acontecimentos, accionou os serviços dos seus advogados, que se apressaram a justificar as faltas e solicitaram a realização de novo julgamento, tudo isso de acordo com aquilo que a lei prevê para situações do género. Os advogados justificaram a falta com «dificuldades com as notificações e ausência do país do seu constituinte». Com isso, a defesa pretendia esclarecer plenamente os factos em resposta às petições de Paulo Tjipilica e permitir que fossem produzidas as provas que possibilitassem que fosse feita justiça. Mas o juiz Paulo Viana indeferiu essa petição dos advogados, dando prosseguimento à acção no quadro das precárias «démarches» já encetadas. Segundo informações disponíveis, quando Graça Campos estava ausente de Angola e não pôde zelar pela sua defesa e muito menos fazer-se presente para julgamento, Pedro Viana escreveu â Ordem dos Advogados de Angola (Oaa) solicitando defesa oficiosa.
  • Angola: Parallel Governments, Oil and Neopatrimonial System Reproduction

    Angola: Parallel Governments, Oil and Neopatrimonial System Reproduction

    Institute for Security Studies Situation Report Date issued: 6 June 2011 Author: Paula Cristina Roque* Distribution: General Contact: [email protected] Angola: Parallel governments, oil and neopatrimonial system reproduction Introduction Over the last 35 years, the central government in Luanda has not only survived a potent insurgency, external intervention, international isolation, sanctions and economic collapse, but it has also managed to emerge victorious from a highly destructive and divisive civil war, achieving double-digit economic growth less than a decade after the cessation of hostilities. Hence the state in Angola may be regarded as resilient and even effective. However, closer examination of the Angolan political order reveals a very distinct reality of two parallel ruling structures: the formal, fragile government ruled by the Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA) and the more resilient ‘shadow’ government controlled and manipulated by the presidency, with Sonangol, the national oil company, as its chief economic motor. While these structures are mutually dependent, their internal functions are sometimes at odds with each other. Recent changes to these structures reveal the faultlines the ruling elite has tried to conceal, as well as new opportunities for engagement with the ruling structures of Angola by African and international policymakers. The Angolan The Angolan state displays several aspects of failure and resilience that, in its oil state: Two hybrid configuration, combines formal and informal operating procedures, is governments highly adaptable and able to survive great difficulties. Reforms in Angola are between more a reflection of the need to adapt to change as a means to maintain control democracy of the state – and to control the rate at which any change occurs – than a genuine and hegemony opening of the political space to ideas of good governance, let alone popular (2008–2010) accountability.
