The Angola Monitor covers the politics, economics, development,
democracy and human rights of Angola. It is published quarterly by
Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA). The Monitor is produced in English and Portuguese. ACTSA has published the Angola Monitor since the mid 1990s.
This issue looks at the participation of Angola in the G8 Summit in Italy. We also highlight the renewed relationship between Angola and Russia, marked by the visit of President Medvedev to Luanda. The Human Rights section looks at the critical report published by Human Rights Watch on Angola, while the Aid and Development section focuses on the government’s prioritisation of the agriculture and education sectors praised by international organisations.
