Moxico (Portuguese spelling) or Moshiko (Bantu spelling) is the largest province of Angola. It has an area of 223,023 square kilometres (86,110 sq mi), and covers 18% of the landmass of Angola.[3] The province has a population of 758,568 (2014 census) and a population density of approximately 3.4 residents per km2 (8.8/sq mi), making it one of the most sparsely populated areas of Angola.[1] The population of the province is in flux; displaced residents have slowly returned to Moxico since the end of the Angolan Civil War in 2002.[3][4] The war left Moxico as one of the most landmine-contaminated places in the world.[5] The governor of the province is Gonçalves Manuel Muandumba.[6]
Luena is the capital of the Moxico Province, and is located 1,314 kilometres (816 mi) from the Angolan capital of Luanda.[4]
