Aug 10, 2009 Angola: Failed yet Successful
"In recent years [Angola's] economy has grown at a feverish annual
rate of 18 percent. Its government has successfully ended 40 years
of violent conflict, consolidated its political base and negotiated
profitable deals with major public and private bodies of the United
States, Europe and China. [Yet oil revenues may begin to decline by
2015] ... the current development model is thus a ticking political
time bomb. The coming decade will reveal whether that bomb will be
defused or not."
Aug 10, 2009 Angola: Oil & Housing
"Government revenues from oil and gas are set to rise strongly,
giving [the top ten oil-exporting countries in Africa] the means to
speed up economic and social development and alleviate poverty. The
government take in the top ten oil- and gas-producing countries is
projected to rise from some $80 billion in 2006 to about $250
billion in 2030. Nigeria and Angola account for 86% of the $4.1
trillion cumulative revenues of all ten countries over 2006-2030."

Sep 27, 2008 Angola: Election Free and Fair, Sort Of
"Election free and fair, sort of," was the headline from the UN's
Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) news service after
Angola's long-awaited parliamentary election early this month. The
news service notes that its stories do not represent the position
of the United Nations, and there was no official United Nations
observer team. But the comment was an accurate summary of the
consensus of observers from Africa and Europe.
