These African ‘countries’ don’t officially exist – including one that you’ve probably never heard of

Mail & Guardian Africa | 20 Nov 2015 09:10 ,

Post-colonial African liberation movements you might not have heard too much about, and why owners like Angola, Zambia and Namibia won’t ‘let go’.

ANGOLA marked its 40th birthday this month and while the south African country blew off the candles, there’s one situation it would be happy the world didn’t pay much attention to.

The “Republic” of Cabinda has even set up its own de facto government, but Angola has no doubt about who the area falls under, having steadfastly held that it is sovereign territory administered from Luanda.
