Cabinda (also: Kabinda) is an
exclave and province of
Angola, a status that has been disputed by many political organizations in the territory. The capital city is also called
Cabinda. The municipalities of Belize, Cacongo and Buco Zau are in the territory.Modern Cabinda results from the fusion of three kingdoms:
N'Goyo,
Loango and Kacongo. It is 7,283
km² in area, and has a population of 300,000 inhabitants. According to 1988 United States 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 living in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is separated from Angola by the DRC, 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 largest oilfields in the world; the exploration began in
1954.
