No, I am just a regular Angolan tired by the system in my country, but even more so about the distorted image the western media often provides about africa. One more thing, if you have spare time, try to read this book called Poisoned Wells: The Dirty Politics of African Oil by Nicholas Shaxson, I believe this will help you better come to grips with Angola. If you need anything else, just msg me, be glad to answer anything and debate any holes in my arguments.

and try to analyze the effects this is having on the structure of the society of Luanda. I think this would better help your point of view about the corruption of a few, and so on and so on. One final thought, although you might be thinking this, but I am not an agent of the Angolan gover. or a worker for a multinational, beacause frankly, they are not that organized

These are just some of the things that I think you should reconsider, oh and you forgot to mention BP (but Im sure thats not because for some reason you have a british accent). Futhermore, I advise you to do more research about Angola, so you have better material to question then the palaces of the president, it does make your documentary seem weak. Some examples, the different companies owned by the presidents family, construction, telecommunication, etc and try to analyze

It is not fatal to talk about the government, that men which u described as getting killed for singing a song is absurd. If that were the case, how did the rapper MC K have a concert in a gym in an angolan town. Surely this totalitarian government would not allow this, and even worse, let him have supporters. Furthermore, I believe you were checked by the police because u looked suspicious. Just picture it, a pale white man, walking around with a cameraman, surrounded by street kids, come now.

If you read about any of thr notorious plans to help countries like Gabon, Congo, Angola, Equatorial Guinea(which today are some of the most unstable in africa thanks to them) you will understand how the same stragety is being implemented in Angola by the USA. Another point I wanted to touch on, was this image u portrayed of the media in Angola. I understand its part of a reports job to exaggerate statistics, in order to bring more attention to the issue, but I think you went to far.

Its merely the same tactic which one can see in warfare again and again. For example, the confidential documents found last year in the USA, showing clearly Americas plans to create a civil war between hamas and fatah in palestine. The universal truth here being, and I think you should do more research on this, unstable countries with oil translate into cheaper oil prices and easy control. A strong africa is a dangerous africa. Something ELF (modern day TOTTAL) knew very well.

First of congrats on a fairly interesting documentary, but i believe you have a quite superficial view of not only Angola but africa in general. To believe that Americas interests lie anywhere close to the idea of stability in Angola is rediculous. Cabinda, is a good example, where do you think the separatists (or following bushes def would clearly say terrorists) get thr weapons and support from?? |
