Cabinda, direitos humanos, petróleo. Na mais recente Background Note sobre Angola (em Notas Formais na íntegra), a diplomacia de Washington refere-se a Cabinda nestes termos:
Direitos Humanos, no final:
«The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), formed in 1974, rejects the Alvor Accords that included Cabinda as part of Angolan territory at independence. In 1975, FLEC began low-level guerilla attacks against government targets and kidnapped foreigners in an effort to press for an independent Cabindan state. Leadership struggles within FLEC then led to its breakup into various splinter factions, two of which continued the movement's armed insurgency. The Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) launched a major offensive against FLEC in November 2002 that decimated FLEC's capabilities in Cabinda and lead to an almost complete cessation of fighting in the province. Periodic, separate negotiations between the leadership of the two armed FLEC factions and the Angolan Government have failed to produce a settlement; however, the recently formed Cabindan Forum for Dialogue, a coalition of the various FLEC factions, is working to broker an agreement with the government. The international community has rejected the notion of Cabindan independence; however, the U.S. and other like-minded governments are committed to protecting the human rights of all living in Cabinda province.»
Petróleo, no essencial:
«Block 15, located offshore of the enclave of Cabinda, currently provides 40% of Angola's crude oil production. ExxonMobil, through its subsidiary Esso, is the operator with a 40% share. In 2005, Block 15's second major sub-field, Kizomba B, came online producing at about 250,000 bpd. BP, ENI-Agip, and Statoil are partners in the concession. Chevron operates Block 0, also in offshore Cabinda, which provides one-quarter of Angola's crude oil production. Its partners in Block 0 are Sonangol (the Angolan state oil company), TotalFinaElf, and ENI-Agip. Chevron also operates Angola's first producing deepwater section, Block 14, which started pumping in January 2000 at the rate of 80,000 bpd. »
