I am from Namibia but live in Angola for the past 14 years, $26 is not quite true, maybe in the luxury hotels, but normally goes for $8. Very beautiful country with different cultures and landscapes like said. To visit Angola you need a visa, but to get a visa you need a letter from a Angolan to invite you " carta de chamada" It could change, for Angola is starting to advertise tourism. One must know they ended a bad civil war and is working hard to get the infrastructure better.Corruption was also very bad, but the government is working on that.I love Angola!

[@arsenaln03]

I hate our government with all my heart, but they are doing quite a bit. Namibians do not need a visa to visit Angola, and we have changed our tourism visa's now. You no longer need to be invited.

It was actually Cuban-supported, not Soviet-supported, according to the Soviet officials of the time and the Angolan government itself, the USSR only contributed around 4 transport ships while the Cuban army is widely considered the reason Angola won the Frontier War, (so, you know, 2nd time in a row the Cubans have defeated US-led forces, just saying). As a side note the Cubans insisted on the freedom of Nelson Mandela as a condition for ending the war, the Appertheid regime approved of this after the battle of Cuito Cuanavale, to avoid being defeated and probably invaded by the Cuban army, thats were Mandela's well known friendship with Castro comes from.

You forgot to mention how we got our country's name :) It was from queen Nzinga who was an Ngola ruler, who successfully fought the Portuguese troops trying to colonize Angola until the last of her days when she died a peaceful death at age of 80 ( this was back on the 17th century so imagine that o_o ). She was a remarkable diplomat, one of the strongest women history has met and a military tactics genius! As long as she ruled Portuguese couldn't take Angola. There were many Ngola rulers but she's the one we dedicated our country's name to. I hope you read this because it's a very interesting story and I get goose bumps every time my family ( my family is Ovimbundu ) tells me her story. She's greatly respected! Once again I hope you read this :D And keep your channel up man. I predict nothing but greatness for this channels future. It's simple but constructive, very well explained matters.

The Universal Army do you have a problem or what

[@lilarodrigues2698]

Diego Carvalho Angolan here too, please stop talking crap, as stated the only reason is based only around oil is because of our president NEVER invest in anything else like agriculture and tourism, with that I leave the only way Angola can get by is by making sure we SELL oil.

[@mohdodat2]

You're thinking about Saudi Arabia. The vast majority of the Middle East exports petroleum, which is true, however many have immensely diversified their economies through tourism, software technologies and advancements in manufacturing and architecture. Not to mention the exportation of agriculture from Egypt. trendsinstitution.org/uae-economic-diversification-record/

Thanks Dude! More coming! Stay tuned!

[@paraescucharrap]

Wow, today I wanted to know more about Angola because I am learning Kizomba and I asked myself: I wonder if Geography Now has a video about it. And it does!!! I love this channel

[@delcio2012]

I'm an Angolan, some of the findings here aren't quite accurate. But thanks for the effort, it was worth a shot. Always a patriot

Really cool stuff bro! Congrats! If you want, when you get to Chile we can help you with some Chilean native & folk music to help contextualize even more your episode. Keep up the good work man!

Hey good job! I've started getting interested to a lot of country related stuff at a young age and so far i'm enjoying all the new info that im getting from your videos. Keep it up.

If Angolas economy is completely oil based, does that mean they're experiencing a recession right now?

[@julialucas5353]

Yes ... A very bad one !!!

[@sjos691]

Why though?

[@covenawhite4855]

I used to work in Soyo Angola for Chevron. We build a LNG plant there. If you go to one of the main offices you will see a wall photo of a crane removing about a ton of dumped bombs from the previous war. These had to be removed to clear the ports for ship loading. The other problem are the land mines still everyplace. I was told that only about 10% had been removed. Most of these land mines are Russian from Cuba. There is also Tank beach just south of Soyo. There is a sunken tank on the beach. Luanda is a crowded expensive city.

Don't Understand why I'm so interested in African countries, like Angola, Mauritania, and Libya. I also can't wait until the Tunisia video...

[@EvilJapanesePie]

African countries are interesting because we often don't know much about them beforehand, also it's a continent of problems. Wars, poverty, corruption, famine, more wars, ethnic tension, disease, even more wars and wars. Problems are interesting.

[@marticus1642]

[@bam4644]

thank you so much, couldnt find any good facts for my essay about Angola, this really helped.

[@CesarLuisAfonsoDias]

As a portuguese, working in Portugal but mostly for Angola.. I see Angola as a country with a huge potential. If they work on their levels off corruption and alow foreign tourism investments.. they could easilly become the top African country. The trade/finantial partnership with the USA is one the reasons Angola is improving so much. I hope they become the top African country and not a country like Brazil, with so much richness but also with so much corruption.

[@mathguy37]

Pretty sure Brazil won’t be the top African country, that’s because Brazil is a country in South America.

Saudações do Azerbaijão! Angola e o meu país não têm laços sérios. Anos atrás, pensei que este país estava na África e era um lugar muito ruim. No entanto, este não é o caso, o país é um dos 10 principais países da África. 🇦🇴❤🇦🇿

The little province in north is called Cabinda, and not Cambinda! But definitely subscribing, nice work dude. Keep On!

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

why does angola have this hugely expensive city? no one can pay for it and if I could, I'd migrate to another country

[@kingskeleto]

because if the rich keep on getting richer they don't give a fuck about the pour.

[@alex12104]

Sir Skeleto well said. All too common in many countries...

[@blaise4092]

It's not that expensive anymore. Angola is a great place with lovely wildlife as well. We recently came out of a war and everything was ruined so prices for everything went up but now they are okay again.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

Zz. .Blaise you guys should get rid of those landmines

[@angobuscas8943]

Really simple and clear description of my country. Things are changing for the better even price wise. Those prices are what the high earners are willing to pay on the best restaurants and hotels. Remember that minimum wages are quite low and not everyone would be able to accommodate these prices. Overall is a beautiful country that has loads to offer.
