I saw some signs on businesses in english, instead of Potuguese the typical american would never pick up on that but us that know Africa quickly saw that. You are also seeing more Portuguese emigrating to Angola. You see Angolan students studying abroad most all are coming back to Angola because of almost definate job opportunities. Europe is on a down turn while Africa is rising right now.

@meProudToBeCaucasian go fuck yourself u nazi piece of shit.

[meProudToBeCaucasian]

always if a socialist economy grows they say it just oil and its not good to invest blabla

angola has one of the highest gdp per capita in africa with a growing population, even if it is just oil without scoialism and a government taking and giving the right share to the people the country wouldnt be so wealthy.

@Tomervsense shut up jew

[fuckfreshmen]

@wilsalvn I think they should get rid of the Portuguese signs too, they should start teaching African languages in schools, and have signs in African language(s)..do you see any signs in African language in Portugal or anywhere else in Europe? so why should we have their language? Lets keep our African Languages a live...Portuguese/French/Engli­sh/Spanish is not ur/our language..

High international oil prices and rising oil production have led to a very strong economic growth in recent years, but corruption and public-sector mismanagement remain, particularly in the oil sector, which accounts for over 50 percent of GDP, over 90 percent of export revenue, and over 80 percent of government revenue.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Despite extensive oil and gas resources, diamonds, hydroelectric potential, and rich agricultural land, Angola remains poor, and a third of the population relies on subsistence agriculture. Since 2002, when the 27-year civil war ended, the country has worked to repair and improve ravaged infrastructure and weakened political and social institutions.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

The economy of Angola is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with the Economist asserting that for 2001 to 2010, Angola's annual average GDP growth was 11.1 percent. It is still recovering from the Angolan Civil War that plagued Angola from independence in 1975 until 2002.

O Brasil deberia ajudar a Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Equatorial, e Cabo Verde.
