      @Angola, Government

      Note:

       Civil war has been the norm since independence on 11 November 1975; a

       cease-fire lasted from 31 May 1991 until October 1992 when the

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

       refused to accept its defeat in internationally monitored elections;

       fighting has since resumed throughout much of the countryside.

       Nevertheless, the two sides are negotiating the details for holding

       the second round of presidential elections.

       Names:

       conventional long form:

       Republic of Angola

       conventional short form:
