                                          Is Angola dangerous?

                                          It is advised to travel with the assistance of qualified personnel as well as follow basic rules so as to mitigate the risk of encountering dangers in Angola. Most importantly, travelling after dark and alone is not a good idea. 

                                          Do they speak English in Angola?

                                          Angolans speak English or French and their native African languages, not excluding a bit of Portuguese. The foreign language mostly learned by Angolans is English, but among the Bakongo (in the Northwest and Cabinda) French is often more important. 

                                          What is the dominant religion in Angola?

                                          Angola's population is overwhelmingly Christian. About two-fifths of the population is Roman Catholic, about two-fifths is Protestant, and some one-tenth adheres to traditional beliefs or other religions. 

                                          Is Angola a democracy?

                                          Angola changed from a one-party Marxist-Leninist system ruled by the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), in place since independence in 1975, to a multiparty democracy based on a new constitution adopted in 1992.

                                          Does Angola have oil?

                                          Angola is the second-largest oil producing country in sub-Saharan Africa and an OPEC member with an output of approximately 1.55 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) and an estimated 17,904.5 million cubic feet of natural gas production.
