It's pity ! Why did they void all the datas from the specch of Juan when he tells us his youth as Angola soldier ? Wars in Africa will cease when no more diamond or gold will remain ...or unless some white peoples should be forbidden of Africa . I think to some bankers , such as Rothschild or Openheimer ..Only these two blood sucker families are responsible of billions African death . Sarkozy's action in Libya reminds us again that any African nation can survive only by a good army !
