Features: Angola is located on the western coast of the African continent and is one of the earliest countries in Africa to be invaded by Western colonizers. Since the early 1960s, when the Angolan people rose up in rebellion against independence movements, the country has been embroiled in war for over 40 years. Despite its breathtaking natural beauty, outsiders can only shake their heads in despair and turn away. Now that the war in the country has just settled, merchants from various countries have flocked there. The reason is that it is rich in diamonds and "black gold"—oil. So, why does Angola present such a tragic and underdeveloped image to the world? When will this nation, with its splendid culture and history, restore its original beauty and prosperity?
