Angola Independence Day

Angola Independence Day

Portugal granted Angola independence on November 11, 1975, at a time when multiple Angolan nationalist forces were fighting among themselves to establish control over the newly liberated state. Angola Independence Day is commemorated every year in Angola to celebrate the day when the Angolan War for Independence officially ended and the Portuguese government signed the Alvor Agreement.

The majority of the parades and official ceremonies on Angola Independence Day happen in the capital, Luanda. Angola is a country in Central Africa rich in natural resources. It has large reserves of oil and diamonds, hydroelectric potential, and rich agricultural land.
