Cambambe, Cuanza Norte Province

It was badly affected during the Angolan Civil War.[4] It has many mines left over from the Civil War and contracts to clear them were given to several organisations.[5] During the civil war, the insurgents made the province part of the central zone.[6] On 5 April 2001, National Union for the Total Independence of Angola members attacked Samba Caju and killed 120 FAA members. The province's military commander, General Recordacao was also killed in the attack.[7]

The most spoken languages are Kimbundu.[8] Mbundu people inhabit the province.[9] [10] Sugarcane and coffee are the most important agricultural crops. Their production is favoured by the tropical humid climate of the province.[3]
