Residents of Angola-Congo border complain of custom duties
The residents of Cabinda, Angola, rely heavily on the Congolese city of Ponta Negra for trade but face challenges due to customs tariffs at the Massabi border. Despite not being in a free trade zone, the Angolan government has implemented favorable trade conditions for Cabinda. The General Tax Administration has a differentiated tax regime for those living near the border, exempting non-commercial goods from customs duties. However, traders still await the complete removal of customs rates.
Angola Elections: Residents of Luanda hopeful for smooth, peaceful polls
On the eve of Angola's general elections, campaign activities have ceased due to a legally imposed reflection period. In Luanda, residents express hope for a peaceful voting process as they prepare to elect the president and 220 parliament members. More than 14 million Angolans are eligible to vote, with over 13,000 polling stations set up, many in schools, but also in day care centers and churches. Some residents express concerns over misinformation, while others look forward to improvements in the country.
Angola's opposition holds rally in final push for votes
UNITA, Angola's main opposition party, concluded its electoral campaign with a rally in Cazenga, Luanda, urging citizens to vote for change. Led by Adalberto Costa Júnior, the party criticized the ruling MPLA's governance, highlighting issues like poverty and corruption. Costa Júnior emphasized the importance of youth in the election and formed a coalition with other opposition groups to strengthen their position. Despite growing support for the opposition, analysts predict an MPLA victory. The article also mentions accusations of voter fraud and the potential for Angola's first female vice-president if the MPLA wins.
Angola elections: what is at stake?
Angola is preparing for its fifth general election on August 24, with over 14 million registered voters. The election will determine the new president, members of the National Assembly, and local deputies. The presidential-parliamentary system means the head of the winning party list becomes president. This election introduces remote voting for Angolans living abroad. Key figures explain the election process, including the proportional representation and Hondt methods used for national and provincial constituencies.
Electoral Commission calls for restraint in campaign messages
The National Electoral Commission (CNE) in Angola has called for political parties to avoid messages that could lead to extremism amid rising tensions in the electoral campaign. The opposition has criticized the electoral process for unequal treatment by public media. The ruling party MPLA, through Manuel Nunes Júnior, has committed to implementing the municipal process in the next legislature, a promise reiterated by candidate João Lourenço at a rally in Dundo, the capital of Lunda Norte.
Conflict between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda is old
The longstanding conflict between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, and Uganda is fueled by racial tensions and mineral wealth, leading to the formation of various militias, including the March 23 Movement (M23) which emerged in 2012. Despite a truce in 2013, M23 resurged in 2021 with allegations of support from Rwanda and Uganda. Angola, leading the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, is actively seeking to mediate the conflict, complicated by significant economic interests in the region's mineral resources.

Free Trade in Africa Requires Infrastructure
The lack of infrastructure is a major barrier to intra-African trade. Despite progress in areas such as the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System, there is a need for more and better connections to allow goods to cross borders and realize the African Continental Free Trade Area. José Severino, president of the Industrial Association of Angola, highlights that while efforts have been made towards African integration, the objectives are far from being achieved, with infrastructure for trade exchanges being a significant problem.
