Who owns Angola’s land? A problem that needs quick resolution

As people displaced during the civil war return to the countryside, the land issue is one of Angola’s biggest challenges… According to Allan Cain, director of the NGO Development Workshop, a solution to the land issue is a matter of urgency. “It was when the civil war ended and people returned to their native lands, after years as internally displaced, that land became a political issue. These are conflicts that have emerged, and will increase over time as agriculture and land accumulation becomes more important.”
