Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
2 terms are shared from [object Object].
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agostinho Neto | 1975 – 1979 | 4 years | ending not on record | |
| José Eduardo dos Santos | 1979 – 2017 | 38 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1975 – 2017. Only 42 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 0 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
