In the second half of the 20th century, the political map of Africa underwent a large-scale transformation. This process consisted in the mass secession of territories from existing states and the creation on their basis new independent states. Currently, there is a real need for scientific understanding of various kinds of conflicts, including territorial ones, in which secession (separation) is a key requirement of the opposition. The monograph is devoted to the history of the issue of Cabinda, the activities of the FLEC organization and other separatist movements of the enclave, the study of their influence on the historical development of Angola. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author sought to address the history of the problem of Cabinda, based on its pre-colonial and colonial history, the study of the ethno-political situation in the region. The author also took into account the geo-strategic and economic interests of a number of today's actors.
