		The Ambassador, who has been in Angola since 1999, said he was glad to have had the pleasure, during his term of office, of seeing the end of the war that had devastated Angola for three decades and witnessing the start on the road to reconstruction and economic development.
		In Angola’s case, a major problem is that flooding caused by heavy rain every year affects many parts of the country, destroying homes and leaving thousands of people stranded.
		Jerry Bailey, head of the WFP base in Huambo, said: ‘We have been forced to reduce the number of beneficiaries in terms of food, because current donor contributions are not in keeping with what we need.’ He added that this was a general problem also affecting other UN agencies and NGOs.

		Angola is ranked 160th out of 174 countries in the UN development Program's Human Development Index in 2000.
		Although Portuguese was Angola's official language, the great majority of Angolans (more than 95 percent of the total population) used languages of the Bantu family--some closely related, others remotely so--that were spoken by most Africans living south of the equator and by substantial numbers north of it.
		The southwestern groups, despite their remoteness from the major centers of white influence during most of the colonial period, were to varying degrees affected by the colonial presence and, after World War II, by the arrival of numbers of Portuguese in such places as Moçâmedes (present-day Namibe) and Sá da Bandeira (present-day Lubango).

	Human Security in Angola
		Years of colonialism, conflict, disease, pillage, and lack of investment have left the countryside ravaged and the population maimed, uprooted, orphaned, and impoverished.
		Surprisingly, closer examination of Angola revealed that while the country and populace ranked extremely low on many indicators (such as dislocation, maternal mortality, prevalence of landmines, and recurring food insecurity), there were also pervasive periods of optimism and strong indications of hope, even after more than a quarter century of war.
		Vertical inequality in Angola is increasing, with the poorest 10% of the population suffering a 59% decrease in income between 1995 and 1998, while wealthy residents saw their assets increase by 44%.

		Angola was one of the Clinton's administration's Africa priorities throughout the period of the Lusaka peace process.
		Angola was sold by the administration as a special case for Africa because it represented the last piece in a regional settlement in which the U.S. had significant economic and diplomatic investment.
		According to U.S. officials, monitoring of Angola by the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agencies was expanded in 1995, with evidence of Lusaka Protocol violations, especially weapons shipments,a priority.

		The late U.N. envoy to Angola Alioune Blondin Beye claimed in 1996 that both the government and UNITA were importing unknown numbers and types of weapons as an "insurance policy." "It is simply a symptom of the mistrust that still exists between the two parties," he was quoted as saying.

		The feelings could hardly be anything but powerful, however, after Portugal established a slave colony in Angola capital Luanda in 1575, shipping more than one million inhabitants to Brazil before slavery gave way to forced labour in the early part of the 20th century.
		Angola descended into civil war in the early 1960s, and Portugal continued to spend 40% of gross national product to retain control of the region.

		But after a time, soil exhaustion, lack of support of African agriculture by the colonial authorities, incursions of Portuguese settlers who took over valuable property in the highlands, and a number of other factors contributed to a decline in the success of Ovimbundu cash-crop agriculture.
		This pattern continued through the remainder of the colonial period, except for those males who were involved in nationalist activity (usually with UNITA).

	The war in Angola:
		Worse still, the UN was not able to point an accusing finger at the government in order to denounce it as the sole culprit for the fresh outbreak of war in the country.
		Therefore, it bears most of the blame for the failure of the application of the Protocol of Lusaka and for the resumption of war in Angola, since they were at the time the mediators of the Angolan peace process.
		On the contrary, they are punitive mechanical formulas that, in the case of Angola, can go on for years well into the next millenium, without resolving the profound differences among Angolan citizens, as is the case today, six years after they first came into effect.
