Angola fact of the day
The International Monetary Fund projects a 24 percent economic growth this year – one of the fastest rates in the world.
Wow. Here is fact number two:
…the Catholic University of Angola’s research center say two in three
Angolans still live on $2 or less a day, the same percentage as in
2002…no one disputes that most Angolans face appalling living
conditions, sky-high infant mortality rates, dirty water, illiteracy
and a host of other ills.
If you hadn’t guessed: it’s oil money: "The government is taking in two and a half times as much money as it did three years ago."
