Angola - ICRC Annual Report 2009

19-05-2010 Annual Report No 2009

The ICRC has been present in Angola since the start of the armed conflict in 1975. Relative normality has returned since the 2002 Luena peace agreement, enabling the ICRC to close its Luanda delegation at the end of June 2009. In recent years, the ICRC has cooperated with the Angola Red Cross in raising awareness of landmine risks and helping family members separated by the conflict re-establish contact. ICRC activities in Angola, including visits to detainees and the promotion of IHL, were taken over by the regional delegation in Pretoria as of July.
