America's New Frontier - Angola January 2005 Revenue from Angola's oil reserves should be aiding the country's development. But instead, it's being used as a slush fund for government corruption. Deep in Luanda's sewers, a group of boys show us around their home. "I'm desperate for help," begs one. "I'm eating rubbish, surrounded by others who are sniffing glue." According to the latest calculations, 9% of the country's GDP is siphoned off. Even the US ambassador admits that oil revenues are not going to "the Angolan people." Ordinary Angolans know they're being ripped off by their leaders. They're seething with resentment. In the Angolan enclave of Cabinda, this discontent has fuelled a separatist movement which has been fighting for years. With more and more Angolans asking awkward questions, there's a risk the country will collapse into anarchy again if the corruption problem isn't addressed.

Dirty Diamonds - Angola Nov 1996 Angola boasts the most dangerous and illegal diamond mines in the world. From an aerial view, hundreds of men work like black ants on the crater ridden landscape. In small groups, bare chested, knee deep in murky water they seive gravel for hours until they spot the glitter of one tiny diamond. In town, we interview an illegal trader who compares diamond dealing to the blood diamond trade in a warzone. He takes out a small paper package from his trouser leg and slowly unwraps a cluster of uncut jewels. He carries them to bribe his way out of any difficult situations. The De Beers diamond cartel is keen to stop the illegal diamond trade. A spokesman maintains that most of Angola's diamonds are smuggled out the country and are therefore denied to the people of Angola. "We would like to develop a first class diamond field and build a proper mining operation. In this way the country can be further developed." Local mining companies depend on private security firms to guarantee their safety. While filming, bandits with grenade launchers and machine guns take our reporter by surprise. After much bargaining, she is finally allowed to leave the area. Tags: illegal diamond mines Angola exploitation Africa crime poverty slavery business west Journeyman Pictures |

Marburg Virus - Angola May 2005 The flesh-eating Marburg virus in Angola is one of the most dangerous and contagious there is. We exclusively follow the doctors in the wards battling the epidemic. The isolation ward in Uige, Angola, is strictly off limits but our cameras gained exclusive access. It's here that confirmed Marburg victims are cared for. "This patient has arrived at a very late stage of infection so the prognosis is not good," states a nurse. But most Marburg victims never make it to hospital. Instead, they're picked up by WHO doctors trawling the slums. "The problem is that they're calling us for the bodies. We're going after the epidemic has struck so we're not being effective," explains Dr William Perea. Doctors don't even know where the virus comes from and are working on tracing its carrier.

Some images of Angola. (Part I) This are some images of Angola. Angola it´s in Peace now , and it´s time for us to show the world that Angola it´s not only about misery , Oil and Diamonds. Angola has a rich Culture, beautiful turistic places with gorgeous land sights, and most of all , an extremely friendly people (like most African people 2) :). I hope that this might help choose Angola for a vacation destiny in the future people. This a small contribution i´m trying to give to my country. I know it´s not much, but it´s a good start :). With the background songs, "loango" by Gerson and Maiuca Marta, and "Mufete" by André Mingas, here´s a litle bit of my country.
