Abstract: Despite the signing of an international peace accord in May 1991 and the holding of multiparty elections the following September, hopes that the Angolan economy could be rapidly rebuilt were dashed by the country's return to full-scale war. There is guarded optimism that a lasting peace for this resource-rich nation may be achievable soon. The author provides a sector-by-sector summary assessment of the historical context, present status, and future potential of Angola's oil and other resources and infrastructure.
