Rombo of What an African woman thinks criticises a recent article by Mathew Parris for The Times UK titled “As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God“. And she wonders: “why does everybody assume that no African had ever climbed the mountain before the adventurous foreigner came along and did it, and taught him how? (For porter’s sake, of course.) Who’s to say, definitively and conclusively? So the lion hasn't published his memoirs, is that ample basis on which to conclude that the hunter was always the victor?”

i want to start a business in the ship supply industry, seen the fact that i have been away from the country for quite some time, i’ve became unfamiliar with the economy in Angola. would it be a good idea to do such thing??
Good - this market was a relic and was not viable for current uses. A modern shopping center on this square is a much more appropriate use of this space. There are many historic and notable buildings that should be preserved in Angola. This was not one of them.
