"Since a peace agreement was signed 10 years ago, Angola has developed
into a major African oil producer. In the first quarter of this year,
the country produced 1.8 million barrels a day at offshore wells at
depths of up to 1,500 meters (4,920 feet). Angola is China's
second-largest supplier of the black gold. Its economic growth rates are
the envy of the entire continent, partly because it also has rich
diamond deposits and fertile soil.
Now Angolans are buying up shares in Portuguese media companies and they
are purchasing prime property along the Atlantic beaches as well as
luxury real estate in Lisbon and designer clothing. They are also
snapping up workers. Close to 150,000 Portuguese have already obtained
visas for Angola."
