O rio Cunene está localizado no sul de Angola, tendo parte de seu curso utilizado como fronteira entre Angola e o Sudoeste Africano, atual Namíbia. Durante os quase cem anos analisados por este estudo, identificam-se diversas formas de utilização desses recursos que acompanhavam a situação política, social e cultural da época. Nos primeiros anos do colonialismo, as incertezas sobre o real curso do Cunene motivaram algumas expedições científicas pela região, na esperança de encontrar uma possível ligação com o rio Zambeze, o que facilitaria a concretização do mapa cor-de-rosa. Nos anos seguintes, a ocupação portuguesa nas terras Além-Cunene acarretou em guerras coloniais, envolvendo as tropas portuguesas e os habitantes da região, especialmente, os cuamatos e cuanhamas. Durante as batalhas, ficou evidente que a vitória dependeria diretamente do domínio sobre os recursos hídricos da região, tendo em vista a característica árida da região. Simultaneamente, o rio passa a figurar no campo diplomático, a partir de vários acordos formalizados entre o governo português e os mandatários do Sudoeste Africano. Esses acordos determinaram a elaboração de estudos que visavam à utilização dos recursos do rio para minimizar os problemas da seca da Ovambolândia e da Damaralândia, além de possibilitar o fornecimento de energia elétrica. Muitos desses estudos foram executados durante o governo de António Salazar, o que fez com o que o rio Cunene se tornasse objeto de propaganda do Estado Novo. <br> / Abstract : This dissertation's objective is to analyze the uses of water resources of the Kunene River during the Portuguese colonialism period in Angola, between 1884 and 1975. The Kunene River is located in the South Angola having part of its course used as the border between Angola and South-West Africa, now known as Namibia. During the almost hundred years analyzed in this study are identified various forms of use these resources which accompanied the political, social and cultural time. In the early years of colonialism, the uncertainties about the real course of Kunene resulted scientific expeditions in the region, hoping to find a possible link to the Zambezi River, which would facilitate the implementation of the rose-colored map. In subsequent years the Portuguese occupation in the lands Beyond-Cunene promoted the occurrence of colonial wars involving the Portuguese troops and residents of the region, specially the cuamatos and cuanhamas. During the battles, it became clear that the victory depend directly on the field of water resources in the region, given the arid feature of the region. Simultaneously, the river becomes important in diplomatic circles when several agreements have been formalized between the Portuguese government and representatives of the South-West Africa. These agreements led to the development of studies about the use of river resources to minimize the dry problems of Ovamboland and Damaraland, and also enable the supply of electricity. Many of these studies have been performed during the government of Antonio Salazar, which made what the Cunene river became New state propaganda object.

This thesis focuses on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Angola and on constraints encountered by investors. It discusses the new Investment Law, resulting from a comprehensive law reform in 2003, as well as investment incentives destined to attract FDI into the territory, furthermore: the legal definitions of FDI and of &ldquo / Investor&rdquo / the Angolan private international law / the main constraints (investment barriers) encountered by investors, after and before entering the Angolan territory / the legal protection afforded to investors, and some examples of FDI and their implications in Angola.<br /> <br /> The author also analyses investment and intra-trade within the Sub-Saharan region, Angola under modes 3 and 4 of GATS, and other aspects of foreign (as well as private) investment, including on what has been done and what should still be achieved under the SADC Trade, Finance and Investment Protocol from 2005 onwards. This analysis, it is hoped, will contribute to the better understanding of the implications and benefits of FDI in Angola, considering the recent increase of inflows of FDI, as well, as to what extent and how the Government should continue to control and direct, as well as encourage FDI. To conclude, the impact (positive -negative) of FDI in the Angolan society, economy and for the environment will be discussed. Together with the chapters describing the legal framework for FDI, these parts are intended to provide a better insight into the legal, economic and social background for investing and for doing business in Angola, and what type of protection investors can expect from the country, whilst information and academic materials on this subject matter continue to be scarce and difficult to access.

This study examines the Angolan Diaspora in the recent history of Angola, paying attention to the phenomenon of displacement. The Angolan history is used to compare the situation of displaced Angolans with the situation of Judean exiles during the Babylonian and Persian periods (600-300 BCE). Chapter one deals with the introduction. Chapter two of this thesis provides a detailed description of Angola from Geography to its minerals that are fuel to the conflict, financing the war (in both sides), which is the main cause of Diaspora in Angola. Chapter three discusses the social phenomenon of displacement as well as the refugee crisis in Africa and in particular in Angola. Chapter four discusses displacement in the Ancient Near East as well as displacement in the Biblical times. Chapter five provides an analysis of Psalm 74 and the Angolan responses in form of songs. Chapter six is conclusion. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2000.

O estudo foi realizado com base em consulta a relatórios produzidos pelo Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia e Geofísica (INAMET) de 1968 - 2014, a partir de dados macrossísmicos, com maior ênfase ao trabalho apresentado por Moreira (1968); análise de relatórios técnicos sobre a sismicidade da região do médio Kwanza elaborados pela Hidroproject (2007); consulta aos boletins sísmicos internacionais do International Seismological Centre (ISC), e ao United States Geological Survey (USGS), dados com localização instrumental dos epicentros; bem como processamento de dois eventos registrados pela rede sismográfica de Capanda (um local de 23/07/2013, processado no âmbito da sismicidade desencadeada por reservatório e outro regional de 19/11/2013, processado no âmbito da sismicidade natural). Toda essa informação foi cruzada com dados geológicos, tectônicos, Imagens de Satélite Landsat-8 e Modelo Digital de Elevação SRTM3, que se constituiu no banco de dados que possibilitou a elaboração do mapa de Sismicidade de Angola, combinando magnitude estimada a partir de dados macrossísmicos com magnitude instrumental. Como resultado esperado, foram reconfirmadas as zonas sísmicas definidas por Moreira (1968), associadas às regiões dos escudos e a bacias intracratônicas, e, como contribuição a definição de uma nova zona na margem passiva. Foi feita uma tentativa de associar a sismicidade dessas regiões com os modelos de sismicidade intraplaca propostos por vários autores (concentração de esforços; zona de fraqueza pré-existente; alto fluxo de calor e ainda a hidrossismicidade), a partir de estruturas geológicas existentes nas respetivas regiões. Na região do médio Kwanza, apesar de não haver dados suficientes para afirmar se os terremotos registrados próximo do reservatório de Capanda foram ou não desencadeados, interpretação de mapas geológico, tectônico e dos produtos de sensoriamento remoto, revelaram a existência de zonas de fraqueza, fraturas e falhas com orientação preferencial NW-SE, em torno ou nas áreas dos futuros reservatórios, criando assim condições para que a região venha a registrar terremotos desencadeados, uma vez que a mesma não pode ser considerada inativa. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The purpose of this work is to study and document the natural seismicity across Angola, creating the first seismic data base to facilitate consultation and finding information about seismic activity in the country, and reservoir triggered seismicity in the middle Kwanza region. The study was conducted based on review reports produced by the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia e Geofísica (INAMET) from 1968 to 2014, using macrosseismic data, with greater emphasis on work presented by Moreira (1968), analysis of technical reports about the middle Kwanza region seismicity prepared by Hidroproject (2007), consultation the international seismic bulletins of the International Seismological Centre (ISC); United States Geological Survey (USGS), data with instrumental location of epicentres as well as processing two events recorded by the Capanda network seismograph (one local from July 23, 2013, processed in the context of reservoir triggered seismicity, and another regional from November 19, 2013, processed in the context of natural seismicity). All this information was crossed with geological, tectonic data, Satellite Images from Landsat-8 and Digital Elevation Model from SRTM3, which was the database that enabled the elaboration of the Angola seismicity map, combining magnitude estimated from macro seismics data and instrumental magnitude. As expected result, were reconfirmed the seismic zones defined by Moreira (1968), associated with the shield regions and intracratonic basins, and contribution with new seismic zone defined (passive margin). An attempt to associate the seismicity of these regions with models of intraplate seismicity proposed by several authors was done (pre-existing weakness zone; concentrated stress; high heat flow and still hydro seismicity), from geological structures existing in the respective regions. In the middle Kwanza region, although there are insufficient data to confirm whether earthquakes near the Capanda reservoir have been triggered or not, once, this region cannot be considered inactive.
