Cuangar is a municipality of the province of Cubango in Angola.
It covers 18,917 km2 and has about 22,000 inhabitants. It is bounded to the north by the municipality of Nancova, to the northeast by the municipality of Mavengue, to the east by the municipality of Calai, to the south by the Republic of Namibia, and to the west by the municipality of Savate.
Prior to Angola's 2024 administrative reforms, the municipality was subdivided into the communes of Cuangar, Savate and Bondo. In 2024, Savate was made a separate municipality, and the territory of Bondo divided between Cuangar and Savate.[2]
The name of the municipality derives from the name of a subgroup of the Ovambos, the Cuangares, who live in the area.[3]
History
On 31 October, the Germans under the command of Oswald Ostermann retaliated, and raided the Portuguese fort at Cuangar, destroying the fort and killing all stationed border guards with machine-guns. This was later referred to as the "Cuangar Massacre".
