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.

"Nowadays the National Red Cross or Red Crescent Society typically takes the lead in situations requiring humanitarian action within the country's borders. The Angola Red Cross has a vast pool of volunteers and staff who will continue to help those in need."
