      Introduction Angola

      Background:

       Civil war has been the norm in Angola since independence from

       Portugal in 1975. A 1994 peace accord between the government and the

       National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) provided

       for the integration of former UNITA insurgents into the government

       and armed forces. A national unity government was installed in April

       of 1997, but serious fighting resumed in late 1998, rendering

       hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Up to 1.5 million lives

       may have been lost in fighting over the past quarter century. The

       death of insurgent leader Jonas SAVIMBI in 2002 and a subsequent

       cease-fire with UNITA may bode well for the country.

       biodiversity; soil erosion contributing to water pollution and

       siltation of rivers and dams; inadequate supplies of potable water
