Angola: Angola slammed over forced evictions

Not only Zimbabwe is executing massive eviction campaigns against informal settlers in Southern Africa. The Angolan government has maintained the same policy "for many years," the UN's Special Rapporteur on adequate housing revealed. Citing specific examples, Mr Kothari said that hundreds of families were affected at the end of last year when the Luanda provincial government undertook "forced evictions and demolitions of homes" to implement the governmental housing policy, in the municipality of Kilamba Kiaxi in the Angolan capital.
