It further clarified that a few mosques were closed due to land issues, unavailability&nbsp; of building licenses, or other official documents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/world\/rest-of-the-world\/story\/angola-first-country-to-ban-islam-muslims-mosques-demolished-218599-2013-11-24\">India Today<\/a>&nbsp;reported that the rumors of a ban on Islam in Angola were initiated after the Angolan Cultural Minister had made a statement that Islam had not gone through the necessary registration process mandatory in the country. Thus, the Angolan government started demolishing all the religious centers which were built without proper documentation, planning, procedures, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A report on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/reports\/2020-report-on-international-religious-freedom\/angola\/\">International Religious Freedom<\/a>&nbsp;in Angola was published in 2020 by the U.S. Department of State. The report states that the Angolan constitution defines the state as secular, prohibits religious discrimination and provides for freedom of conscience, religion, and worship.&nbsp;There were 81 recognized religious groups and more than 1,100 unrecognized religious groups. The government has not recognized any new religious groups since 2004. In March, the government detained more than two dozen religious leaders and worshippers in several towns for violating a ban prohibiting all large gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders of the Islamic community protested against the COVID-19 measures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this, we searched for various mosques in Angola with the help of Google Maps.
