Historical Background & Significance

Annual: November 11

Following fourteen years of armed liberation struggle against Portuguese colonial rule (1961–1974) and the Carnation Revolution in Lisbon, Portuguese authorities prepared to withdraw from Angola. On the midnight of November 11, 1975, physician, poet, and nationalist leader Dr. António Agostinho Neto stood in Luanda and formally proclaimed the independence of the People's Republic of Angola. Neto declared: 'Before Africa and the world, on behalf of the Central Committee of the MPLA, I proclaim the independence of Angola.' Celebrated with military parades, cultural concerts, and fireworks along the Luanda Bay, November 11 honors the resilience and sovereignty of the Angolan people.
