Cabinda

Coastal exclave, a province of Angola, bounded on the east and south by the Democratic Republic of Congo, on the north by the Republic of the Congo, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean; area 7,770 sq km/3,000 sq mi; population (1992) 152,100. The capital is Cabinda. There are oil reserves. Products include timber and phosphates. Attached to Angola in 1886, the exclave has made claims to independence.

Cabinda's deep-water port is at Malembo. A vast oilfield, partly offshore, was discovered in 1968, and its exploitation led to the commercial growth of Cabinda city. In 1975 a Cabindan nationalist movement declared independence, but this was recognized neither by Portugal nor by the three Angolan movements. It remains an unresolved issue.
