		The conquest of the Benguela kingdom, the founding of the modern city of Benguela and its evolution throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were very troubled.

		The construction of the Benguela Railway and the Lobito harbor were the genesis of the city of Lobito.

	Winne.com - Report on Angola - Angola's tormented path to petro-diamond led growth
		Namibe and Benguela, located on the coast, may be given as two examples of provinces blessed with an exceptional growth potential and a clearer vision of their development on the long term as the conflict with the UNITA forces is progressively fading away.
		The Province of Namibe may already be classified as an exception as such when considering its location and more especially the fact that it is the only province that has never been affected by the war.
		Unfortunately, unlike Namibe, the province of Benguela has been suffering since the independence from the conflict opposing the MPLA and the UNITA, hence reducing significantly the activity of the Port of Lobito down to 45% of its working capacity, with a figure of 7,073 containers exported and 7,410 containers imported over the year 2000.

		The economic importance of Benguela's railway and Lobito's harbour stems from the fact that any imported raw material that ensures the development of the neighbouring provinces has to pass by Lobito's harbour.
		So we are sure that with the rehabilitation of Benguela's railway, we will regain the international importancein we used to have within the SADC region.

		But it is not just beautiful: the province in which it is located, also named Benguela, has a huge diversity of infrastructure and resources, including the port of Lobito, one of the biggest commercial ports on Africa's Atlantic seaboard.
