America's New Frontier - Angola

January 2005 Revenue from Angola's oil reserves should be aiding the country's development. But instead, it's being used as a slush fund for government corruption. Deep in Luanda's sewers, a grou...

I guess that in about 10 years Angola will be a regional power with a great hydroelectric energy source and a improving agriculture, but only time can tell.
I really hope for a better future for the people in Angola.

Yes they are improving but you'd expect more from a country like this... just look how the Arabic countries are now... I don't expect angola like this in 20 years... Most of the business people are just wanna be, show off, who little know about investing... Under no circumstances people should support regimes like this... we know instability it's just a trigger away... we have some many examples throughout the world...

Anyway I got my information about Angola from a fresh source by people that's working and living in Angola they got a more positive response about Angola, ofc their still corruption but the people is getting better living standers.
They are building new railways, highways, schools, hospitals and houses that all are needed to be built from scratch, atm they are building over 10000 new houses outside Luanda.

Most of the houses they are builing, neither people in developed and high industrialized countries can buy them... As for as I know the general US population doesn't have 3 millions USD sitting around in their purses... So that's the situation about the housing... and their quality isn't good compared to europpean or american standards though they are being made by multi national companies...

This video is filmed 2005 and he really thinks that a country that have been in war for 27 years will recover at once.
Now I can say that journeyman pictures isn't one of the most reliable forms of media, at one clip when they are talking about China he calls Counter-Strike for a game where you kill Japanese people.

As an American, I would prefer if my government did not trade with corrupt/non-democratic regimes. Unfortunately, I don't think this is an option because we would have to cease trading with most of the World. But the way I see it, if nobody in the West was trading with these regimes, the money would dry out and they would be forced to change. Whether we like it or not, the money that finances their corrupt government is coming from here.
