Episode 5
Angola
Angola, in southwestern Africa, was a former Portuguese colony but gained self-rule in 1975. After 27 years of civil war, which ended in 2002, it is slowly emerging as a major economic powerhouse in Africa and has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Yet, in an article from the New York Times in March, 2015 it said,” This is a country laden with oil, diamonds, Porsche-driving millionaires and toddlers starving to death. New Unicef figures show this well-off but corrupt African nation is ranked No. 1 in the world in the rate at which children die before the age of five." Does this nation have a plan to improve that number?
