Luanda, 29 July-(ANA)-Thousands of people in Angola have been left homeless in the capital Luanda following the demolition of shanty homes by the government.
SOS Habitat, a non-governmental organisation, said that about 15,000 people had been left homeless since the demolitions started.
"It's one of the biggest forced evictions in recent years and a clear violation of human rights in Angola," Luis Araujo, the head of SOS Habitat, said.
The Angolan government said recently that it was planning to build decent homes for poor people in the city.
The demolitions have been described as one of the biggest since the country’s post war history.(ANA)
