PRESS RELEASE WITH VIDEO TRAILER The Impasse of Post-Conflict Reconstruction How Can Angola Bypass Old Conflicts to Raise Up Its People?

What is at stake in Angola is also at stake elsewhere in Africa. The end of violent armed conflict in 2002 gave hope that the government would finally achieve peace and that the majority of the people would benefit.

Instead, we are witnessing an era of economic growth and modernization of some urban infrastructures, but not the uplifting of human development that benefits the welfare of the people.

This well-researched book comes after 41 years of violent conflict in Angola, including 14 years struggling for independence and 27 years of political fighting between belligerents largely supported by the United States and the Soviet Union. When will Angola overcome this impasse to create a welfare democratic state?
