agree  Carla Selyer: Yes, it is the enclave of Cabinda - there is a separatist movement there which has been trying to break off for years. This enclave is actually in the DR Congo but is the oil-rich province of Angola, so there has been fighting on and off in that area.

Enclave


Explanation:
Enclave
Enclave em Geografia
Em geografia, um enclave é um território totalmente cercado por um território estrangeiro. Se um outro país tem soberania sobre ele, pode-se também chamar este país de exclave.
Um tal território é assim:

um enclave do território estrangeiro que o cerca.
um exclave do país que usufrui da soberania sobre ele.
Os enclaves podem também existir quando uma subdivisão administrativa de um país é situada fora da sua divisão principal.

Reference

Reference information:
Technically, Cabinda is an exclave - as it is not connected to the rest of Angola - but not and enclave - as it is not completely surrounded by one single foreign territory. Between Cabinda and the Angolan mainland lies a strip of DR Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) territory; but to the north of Cabinda is the Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) and to the west is the Atlantic.
