Miles away from the rest of Angola, the tiny oil-rich exclave region dominates the country’s oil production. But its residents say they do not benefit the region’s resources
A man walks by the Oil Giant Chevron of the Agolan Cabinda region headquarter, on April 6, 2019 in Cabinda, Angola.
However, despite its considerable contribution to the national economy, the people of Cabinda believe they have not seen any windfall from the commodity. Portugal gradually blended Cabinda and Angola into a single colony.

“And it has not improved under Joao Lourenco; everything we organise always ends up with supporters being taken into detention.” But for residents, such promises mean little. “The government regularly promises new infrastructure but these are just lies,” said Carlos Vemba, General Secretary of MIC.
