Abstract(s)
Angola viveu entre 1975 e 2002, uma prolongada guerra civil. A guerra civil só
terminou com a assinatura do memorando de entendimento do Lwena no dia 4 de Abril
de 2002.
Durante todo o período da guerra civil, a Igreja Católica desempenhou um papel
decisivo, através dos compromissos humanitários e sociais, nas áreas da ajuda alimentar
às populações, da saúde, da educação, das denúncias das atrocidades cometidas e pelas
propostas sucessivas de negociações e cessar-fogo, em ordem à pacificação do país, ao
respeito pela liberdade e direitos humanos, à justiça social. A Igreja Católica deu ainda a
sua colaboração para a paz, infundindo a fé e esperança nas populações martirizadas e
espezinhadas pelos militares de ambos os lados da trincheira (MPLA e UNITA).
Percebendo tudo isto, avancei para este trabalho falando da Experiência dos
missionários do Verbo Divino em Angola, onde pude perceber o contributo dos verbitas
durante a guerra civil angolana a partir das quatro dimensões características da referida
Congregação de um modo concreto da Justiça e Paz e Integridade da criação,
Angola lived between 1975 and 2002, a prolonged civil war. The civil war ended only with the signing of the Lwena memorandum of understanding on 4th April 2002. Throughout the period of the civil war, the Catholic Church played a decisive role, through humanitarian and social commitments, in the areas of food aid to the population, health, education, denunciation of atrocities committed and successive negotiations and cease of war in order to pacify the country, respect for freedom and human rights, and social justice. The Catholic Church also collaborated for peace, instilling faith and hope in the martyred and trampled populations of the military on both sides of the trench (MPLA and UNITA). Understanding all these nuances, intend to, through this reseach work, thow light particularly on the experiences of the Divine Word Missionaries in Angola, with particula enfasis on their contributions as well as interventory measures taken during this period of war. This i intend to do from the persective of the four characteristic dimensions of the Congregation especialy that of Justice and Peace, Integrity of Creation.
