I seriously believe in the African Union - Africans solving African problems, and the more Europe shuts up and butts out, the better. 500 years of imperialism did nothing but create problems for Africans. The world has a moral duty to help the African stand on its feet without interfering. If the Jews gain moral baggage due to the holocaust, then what about the African holocaust, centuries of slavery and outright stealing?

I am not showing "only poverty" These are photos taken recently in Luanda. As you can imagine I have the permition from those models to publish their faces online. I have beautiful women as well but they did not give me any permition. People from pix #4 are not the same as in #6. DI

Please bear in mind that we don't publish content otherwise. I also left a link to two galleries with pictures from the actual day (these, as I said in the post, are from the run up days). Both photographers later gave us authorization to use them, which we will do in the next article. If you have other pictures showing another side and you want to see them here, please let me know.

Looking for MODELS you can find in Angola much good looking ones Fotos nr 4 and 6 shows us the same person but wearing a diferent T-shirt …. meaning you are trying to manipulate the spirit of the elections since the person standing on the right side of the photo nr.4 is the same one standing on pic nr 6 ( wearing an MPLA ) T-shirt .

Africa is changing with or without your support we are a proof of that. We still have problems, you had 500 years to assist us but instead what you did was to exploit us. Please alow us to make our own decisions and choose who ever we feel like to rule our country or to help us like the chinese are doing. Please stop teaching us how to behave, what we need is real opportunities and actions or commitment.
