Will Portugal do the same for Angolans?
- belter 5y agoIs Angola currently under Russian Invasion? Angola standards of living improved remarkably in the last few years, has oil reserves as big as Saudi Arabia. Oil production from Angola has increased so significantly that Angola now is China's biggest supplier of oil.
- refurb 5y agoThat’s fair. A touch indelicate, but fair.
- libertine 5y agoHmm I don't get this question... Why do the same for Angola, if Angola is in a completely different situation, plus it has it's own relationship with Portugal? There are plenty of protocols between Portugal and Angola, including visas, access to education, etc. Do you realize that by asking that question, you're undermining the situation in Ukraine, right?
- i_no_can_eat 5y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to say... Is Angola under invasion right now?
- publicola1990 5y agoAngola was a Portuguese colonial possession, and the question is if this sort of warm welcome was ever extended to those people of Angola who were under distress, who experienced subjugation under Portuguese rule itself. What is happening in Ukraine, Portugal is not complicit in anyway. But in Angola and other places where Portuguese complicity was involved were such warm gestures and measures so forthcoming is the question.
- i_no_can_eat 5y agoAngola was a colonial possession back when Portugal was a dictatorship. Obviously, the people that were in power back then were not very nice. Once the old regime was overthrown, one of the first things that was done was ending the colonial wars. Still, I'm not sure how this is relevant right now? The point here is that the Portuguese government (the current one, not the one in power during the dictatorship which ended over 40 years ago, and which you seem to be confused about) has done a good thing, and for that they deserve praise.
