👀Looking at tax authority data up to April 2023, we look at what non-oil exports are beginning to appear in statistics.
Legacy non-oil exports include wood, shrimp and cement.
Except for wood, no sustainable growth there.

Olá das primeiras consequências da queda do Estado Novo, que o autor testemunhou como recruta, e aliás o livro é uma boa fonte para o estudo de golpes de estado, foi de se reduzir a intensidade do treinamento militar e de serem assim menos eficazes em #Angola
Ainda sobre golpes de estado, o autor relata várias técnicas clássicas:
1- tentativa frustrada: uma das unidades revoltosas entra em acção para que seja revelado o dispositivo das tropas leias ao poder e as neutras, de modo a melhor planejar o golpe real, alimenta calma no regime

No dia 25 de Abril de 1974, a guerra em Angola era reconhecida como ganha. Os confrontos com o inimigo eram quase inexistentes. O inimigo, então com três frentes – MPLA, FNLA e UNITA – estava praticamente inerte e reduzido a poucos efectivos, como se constatou após a revolução.
Racistas individualmente, claro que os havia, e há, quer fossem brancos, quer mulatos, quer negros, agora como fenómeno generalizado, é pura mentira, tentando-se arranjar desculpas para o indesculpável.

#Russia's whistle-stop tour of southern Africa included a visit to #Angola, despite President Lourenço's pivot away from the former Soviet power in recent years. A 🧵 on what's happened between the two countries lately and what it all means.
#Angola in October 2022 became one of just a handful of African states to condemn Russia's invasion of #Ukraine, having previously abstained. Apparently this came from pressure from the EU (mostly Portugal). voaportugues.com/a/angola-vota-…
In December 2022, Lourenço announced his desire for #NATO to equip the military. Russia has supplied Angola with arms for years, but the president spoke of wanting to move away from the Soviet-technique: voaportugues.com/a/grande-entre… (Analysis in English here: news24.com/news24/africa/…)

is because the labour market is seasonal. Unemployment always rose from Q2 to Q3, so a mild decline is good news. In fact, this is the lowest unemployment rate since Q2 2019 (29.0%).

Igor Morozov is known by every African ambassador in Moscow. The discreet senator and ex-FSB colonel has been AFROCOM's head since 2020. In his role, he makes ready use of his contacts in the intelligence services. Meanwhile, he is also making regular trips to Africa 2/9

Numa realidade onde os mass mídia estão todos orientados “numa só direcção”, são sempre privilegiadas as “irreverências” momentâneas para que as coisas realmente importantes não sejam debatidas, questionadas ou escrutinadas. Por isso deixo essa thread sobre um assunto urgente 👇🏾
No início deste mês, a @_africamonitor noticiou que uma quantia de “2 milhões e meio de euros e mais 500 mil dólares” do Tribunal de Contas de Angola teria sido transferido para uma conta privada em Portugal. O que teria levado ao congelamento do montante por Portugal.
Dias depois, o @C_Angolense deu mais detalhes sobre o assunto. Mencionando, inclusive, o nome do alegado beneficiário da “transferência irreverente” do TC que seria o filho da sua presidente, como podem ler aqui: correioangolense.co.ao/2022/06/13/uma…

2/14. Somaliland brings a lot to the table. S/land’s strategic location in the Horn of Africa will give Taiwan a gateway into East Africa and beyond. Landlocked countries in Africa can benefit from this diplomatic move such as Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Uganda.
3/14. S/land will give Taiwan an important access to the Gulf of Berbera (Gulf Aden) where access to the Middle East, North Africa and the rest of the world can be established which will boost Taiwan’s export opportunities as well as a chance to make new friends in the region.
