| − | [[Angola]] is still rebuilding its country since the end of a 27-year civil war in 2002. Fighting between the Popular Movement for the Liberation of [[Angola]] (MPLA), led by Jose Eduardo DOS SANTOS, and the National Union for the Total Independence of [[Angola]] (UNITA), led by Jonas SAVIMBI, followed independence from [[Portugal]] in 1975. Peace seemed imminent in 1992 when [[Angola]] held national elections, but fighting picked up again in 1993. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost - and 4 million people displaced - during the more than a quarter century of fighting. SAVIMBI's death in 2002 ended UNITA's insurgency and cemented the MPLA's hold on power. President DOS SANTOS pushed through a new constitution in 2010; elections held in 2012 saw him installed as president.
