On Angola, the joint committee met the UNITA president some time in early March. He spoke about the frustration of being in opposition in Angolan politics. Obviously, the fact that President dos Santos has been in power for more than 35 years added to this frustration. Does Christian Aid believe a change of regime in Angola would make a difference to the economy and to the widespread corruption that exists within the country?
