Luanda, formerly named São Paulo da Assunção de Loanda, is the capital and largest city of Angola (Africa region). Located on Angola's coast with the Atlantic Ocean, Luanda is both Angola's chief seaport and administrative center and has a population of at least 5 million. The city is currently undergoing a major reconstruction, with many large developments taking place that will alter the cityscape significantly.
Luanda – A line of more than 10,000 kilometres of optical fiber will connect the country in the near future so as to enable the communication through Internet broadband.
The fiber optic cable installation plan was announced on July 15 (2011), in Luanda, by the Deputy Minister for Information Technology, Pedro Sebastião Teta. He said that the construction of this line will cover Angola and it will contribute to the resolution of current difficulties in the communications field.
The official said so to Angop on the sidelines of the presentation of the Master Plan of the Angolan Media Library Network (REMA) and he ensured that the project will solve the problem of Internet communications.
Angola, which is forecast to be one of the world's fastest growing economies, has been undergoing a massive national reconstruction. The central government allocates funds to all regions of the country, but the capital region receives the bulk of these funds. Since the end of the Angolan Civil War (1975–2002), stability has been widespread in the country, and major reconstruction has been ongoing since 2002.
Major reconstruction in Luanda has been in nearly all aspects of society. Major road rehabilitation, including road widening, application of asphalt, and re-routing efforts are all currently being done throughout Luanda. The Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht, are currently constructing two six-lane highways.
Major social housing is also being constructed to house those who reside in slums, which dominate the landscape of Luanda. A large Chinese firm has been given a contract to construct the majority of replacement housing in Luanda. The Angolan minister of health recently stated poverty in Angola would be overcome by an increase in jobs and the housing of every citizen.
