Umkhonto Wesizwe's Contribution to The
JOERNAAL/JOURNAL KWHELA UMKHONTO WESIZWE’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEFENCE OF THE AFRICAN REVOLUTION IN ANGOLAJ GC Kwhela** 1. INTRODUCTION Prior to independence, on 11 November, 1975, the prospective Angolan govern- ment under the leadership of the MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertaçaõ de Angola) was under continuous attack from the FNLA (Frente Nacional de Libertaçaõ de Angola) and UNITA (Uniaõ Nacional para a Independencia Total de Angola). The FNLA was attacking from the then Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) with the support of the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and was repelled at Quifangondo, close to the capital, Luanda. UNITA was advancing from the south in conjunction with the South African Defence Force (SADF) with the aim of capturing the capital before Independence Day. The joint UNITA-SADF forces, which held the town of N’Gunza (which was then called Novo Redondo), were repelled at the Queve River, Cuanza Sul Province by the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA). FAPLA forces were later on reinforced by Cuban forces that provided assistance in resisting the advancement of the joint UNITA-SADF forces to Luanda and ultimately the SADF withdrew from Angola on 27 March 1976. Although the conflict continued throughout the 1970s and the early 1980s in the Cunene, Cuando Cubango and Moxico provinces of Angola, the joint UNITA- SADF forces began another offensive in 1983 with the rejuvenated support of the United States under the Reagan administration. This was the first instance in which uMkhonto weSizwe (MK), the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, became a prominent actor in the defence of the African revolution in Angola, in what was then called the "eastern front" within the Malanje province. -
Inventário Florestal Nacional, Guia De Campo Para Recolha De Dados
Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais de Angola Inventário Florestal Nacional Guia de campo para recolha de dados . NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão. -

The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S. -

A Estruturação Do Poder Local Em Angola E a Contribuição Do
A estruturação do poder local em angola e a contribuição do processo do encontro das comunidades para o seu fortalecimento e democratização A estruturação do poder local em Angola e a contribuição do processo do encontro das comunidades para o seu fortalecimento e democratização1 Belarmino Jelemi* Resumo A estruturação e o fortalecimento do poder local constituem dos principais fundamentos para a efectivação do processo de governação democrática em Angola. O conhecimento da natureza, perfil, forças e fraquezas das principais instituições e actores sociais locais afigura-se essencial para a operacionalização dos preceitos da Constituição da República de 2010 que marcou um avanço importante, estabelecendo para o poder local três segmen- tos interligados, nomeadamente as autarquias locais, as autoridades tradicionais e outras formas de participação dos cidadãos. Mesmo que as autarquias sejam merecedoras de mais mediatização, os outros pilares são também importantes e as formas de participação dos cidadãos, discutidas no presente texto, são a garantia da geração de freios e con- trapesos. Portanto, a relevância das autarquias para os cidadãos, em Angola, está muito dependente, entre outros, do aprofundamento do exercício da cidadania e dos sistemas de controlo locais.

NPA Backgrounder
Angola Angola is a country in south-central Africa bordered by Namibia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia. Area: 1.246.700 square kilometers. Population: 16,941, 000. Demographic: Ovimbundu 37%, Kimbundu 25%, Bakongo 13%, 2%, European 1%, and 22% other. State Party to the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT). Cause and scope of the landmine problem Angola has been plagued by civil war since independence from Portugal in 1975 until the peace accords between the government and UNITA were signed the 4th of April 2002. Mines as well as a whole other slew of traditional ammunitions, explosive remnants of war (ERW) were used by both sides during the conflict, making Angola one of the most mine infected countries in the world. Large portions of the country are still not accessible due to mines and ERW, and it is estimated that one fifth of the population has its day to day life affected by mines and ERW. NPA history in the country Upon request by the UN, NPA involved itself with mine clearance in Angola in 1994. Initially, the task was to map the coastal provinces and other areas pinpointed as camps for demobilized soldiers, as well as clearing the main highway between Luanda and Malanje. Due to the mine problem and the huge distances, three separate bases for clearance were established throughout the country. From 1995 to 2004 these bases were located in the cities of Malanje, Luena and Lubango. In 2003 NPA took part in the country wide survey of the mine problem, and became responsible for 5 provinces in the northwestern part of Angola (Malanje, Kwanza Sul, Kwanza Norte, Uige, Zaire).The result of said survey created the base for strategic plans for mine clearance in Angola by national authorities (2006-2013). -

Chapter 15 the Mammals of Angola
Chapter 15 The Mammals of Angola Pedro Beja, Pedro Vaz Pinto, Luís Veríssimo, Elena Bersacola, Ezequiel Fabiano, Jorge M. Palmeirim, Ara Monadjem, Pedro Monterroso, Magdalena S. Svensson, and Peter John Taylor Abstract Scientific investigations on the mammals of Angola started over 150 years ago, but information remains scarce and scattered, with only one recent published account. Here we provide a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records. We present a short history of mammal research, and provide brief information on each species known to occur in the country. Particular attention is given to endemic and near endemic species. We also provide a zoogeographic outline and information on the conservation of Angolan mammals. We found confirmed records for 291 native species, most of which from the orders Rodentia (85), Chiroptera (73), Carnivora (39), and Cetartiodactyla (33). There is a large number of endemic and near endemic species, most of which are rodents or bats. The large diversity of species is favoured by the wide P.
