José Eduardo dos Santos, Angola's second president who ruled for almost four decades, has died aged 79, the government has said.
He died in Spain where he was treated after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Dos Santos will be remembered for ending a long-running civil war in the early 2000s - his supporters dubbed him the "architect of peace".
But his legacy is soiled by high levels of corruption and human rights violations while he was in power.
