RESUMO

The civil conflict in Angola lasted three decades and devastated the biopsychosocial tissue. In spite of some initiative of peace agreement, peace became a reality only in 2002, which left a part of the population under exclusion and facing psychosocial trauma. The objective of this work was to identify the trajectory, ways of life and suffering of the target population. By applying to the contribution of ethnography and participant observations as well as semi-structured interviews addressed to young people in informal market, we could learn the dynamics, networks, challenges, aspirations and social dignity of the activities. The migration of population, mainly children, youth and adults, during the period of armed conflict led these people to internally displaced people camps and to peri-urban areas. In the post war period, these young people turned the streets as their working place by selling assorted staff to maintain their families. During the working hours, these young people consume alcoholic beverage to ease or lubricate the social relations. There is the culture of alcohol as analgesic, tranquilizer and energizer. In moments of fatigue, exhaustion and suffering; the consumption of alcohol is to soften the torment. The work in the street during day time allows the survival of the families, the inclusion in the society through networks and groups of solidarity; allowing the existence of the I and family
