Research Report Presented to World Bank Angola Demobilization and Reintegration Project and Foreign Affairs Canada – Human Security Programme. This research examines the land issue in relation to the return, resettlement and reintegration of ex-combatants in post-war Angola. It focuses on Huambo Province, which has the highest rural population density in Angola, the greatest concentration of the demobilized, and a long tradition in agriculture. Specifically, it seeks to understand the mechanisms used by the demobilized to access land for agriculture and the constraints, problems and conflicts they face in the process.
