Angola
The possible peace

The Estoril Accord of May 1991 between the Angolan government and UNITA signalled the onset of peace in Angola, a country torn by war for almost 30 years. But what kind of future did the country face? Can economic, social and political reconstruction be achieved after a long, devastating war?

This Comment addresses these questions. It examines the internal causes of the conflict and outside intervention, outlining the troubled path of negotiations. Finally, it assesses the prospects for a lasting peace with justice.
