Toward An Angola Strategy

by Vincent A. Mai, Frank G. Wisner, William L. Nash (Editor)

Overview

As the second-largest oil producer in Africa, Angola is vital to America's energy security. The success or failure of Angola's postconflict transition, which began in 2002, has implications for security in both central and southern Africa. For these reasons, the United States has an interest in helping Angola address its significant national challenges.
