		From civil society’s standpoint and insofar as democratic openness is concerned, the Eastern region is notable for its dearth of NGOs, with a few involved in the health sector and humanitarian aid.
		During colonial times and, thereafter, up to the end of the 80s, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul provinces (North and South Lunda) were considered restricted areas, where access was possible for non-natives only with special authorization by the State Security services.
		After years of social, political and economic isolation, the local populations became victims of an “invasion” of people originating from all parts of the country and the world, who besides exploring for diamonds also exploited local ignorance.
