  1. And again the west suported dos Santos and fought against the people of angola.

    All in name of an outdated local mindset in a global soceity.

    People need to grow up.

  2. There is two things: the video maker never been in Luanda 2) if they did, they stayed in the expats houses and hotels. They did not go in town. Luanda is dirty,surrounded by poor people. I flown helicopter in Angola, I had a look at all the country. It is poor. The ehelt is very concentrated on a few.

  3. Oh African people,
    when u will understand that france and italy made you their slaves! they made peculiar country maps to devide u people! try to become united! your country maps are joke!! Dont you understand france is milking your country???

  4. So after all this research, your conclusion is that "the other party" and "democracy" will be the solution ? All of the banks and companies related to this are still the same and still perform the very same business, it is just that one family is taken out and the other one is put in, that is it.

  5. Wow those houses aren't even that nice as far as a decent gated community in the US goes, but holy shit renting a house there is fucking insanely expensive. I wonder what they cost to own for those 300k-500k houses. 500k looks like it should be tops imo

  6. I don't think the fact that the daughter of the President is the richest woman on the continent is anything to be proud of, unless you're a huge fan of nepotism and corruption.
    ….
    Ah, I was a five minute psychic!

  7. Wrong , the rebel of Angolans at Malanje in 1961 . happen because the CIA entered there disguised as missionaries , and start telling Angolans to to run with the Portuguese from there , they were exploited , etc
    That rebellion did not start because people , but CIA did it , because always wanted Angola their oil , diamonds and gold the envy of North Americans knew no bounds . and soon after the Soviets ( cold war start running in Angola after a while ) all its past but , its a obligation tell the true history not lies , of Portuguese had a very good Govern internacional police PIDE , by that time and tried defend their own interests too , later even Cuba join the fight there the true will always came up . the Angolans were caught in the middle of the cold war, they didn't start anything, don't lie…

  8. What this documentary did not mentioned, US of AmeriKKKa and all western countries not only helped Desantos with corruption but they also helped him to stay in the power for this long.

  9. But of course the one fault in the claimed "prosperity through oil resources" even IF developed by the nation, and the benefits are distributed equitably, remains the climate-catastrophe that all of humanity faces if we pursue business-as-usual. Time to plug the wells and leave the oil in the GROUND!
