Memories of Angola
Seven years after the end of the conflict that devastated Angola, the ICRC is scaling back its activities there. In July 2009 it will close its delegation in Luanda, but will continue to monitor the situation in Angola from its delegation in neighbouring South Africa. ICRC staff who worked in war-torn Angola as far back as 1975 share their memories.

Besides tracing and reuniting families, the ICRC has been involved in various other activities in Angola such as medical care, physical rehabilitation, water and sanitation services, detainee welfare, protecting the civilian population, and promoting international humanitarian law among weapon bearers.
