Angola: On Africa's oilfields

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Angola, Development, Economics & Business, Education, International Relations

Pitigrili [1] [pt] retorts to an article about Africa's oilfields [2] on a newspaper which stated that few will benefit from Africa's oil boom: “Of course, the Western multinationals don't like the reconstruction deals between Angola and China, where oil is the currency exchange. But the Angolan people finally see asphalt and basic education and health infrastructure making a coming back since the beginning of the 1975 civil war. If we look at the African reality, it's a unique case of reconstruction benefiting the entire population.”
