The 1960s in Angola were marked by the War of Independence (1961-1975). Portuguese police arrested Agostinho Neto of the MPLA and future President of Angola (1975-1979) in 1960 for the third time.[1] Delegates discussed Cabinda's self-determination in relation to Angola at the 4th Commission of the United Nations on Decolonization in New York in 1962. Cabinda became a member of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) as the 39th colonized country in 1964.[2]
The Portuguese petroleum production began in Congo basin in the 1960s, and in the exclave of Cabinda in 1968. Today the petroleum industry is the engine of the Angolan economy.[3][4]
