-------------------------------
Cabinda is a small territory, administered as an exclave of Angola. Its status as a province of Angola has been disputed by many political organizations in the territory; however a new peace deal may end the fighting. The capital is also known as Cabinda
Modern Cabinda results from the fusion of three kingdoms: N'Goyo, Loango and Kacongo. It is 7,283 km? in area, and has a population of 300,000 inhabitants. According to 1988 US government statistics, the total population of the province was 147,200, with a near even split between total rural and urban populations. About one third of Cabindans are refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (known as Za?re until 1997). It is separated from Angola by DR Congo, which bounds the province on the south and the east. Cabinda is bounded on the north by the Republic of the Congo, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Adjacent to the coast are some of the biggest oilfields of the world; the exploration began in 1954.
Cabinda produces hardwoods, coffee, cacao, rubber, and palm oil products. Petroleum production began in 1968 and now accounts for most of Angola's production. Cabinda produces 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Cabinda Oil is associated with Sonangol, Agip Angola Lda. The Sonangol has (41%), Chevron (39.2%) Total (10%) and Eni (9.8%).
