new property law came into effect in Angola on the 15th of June“On paper, we are worth a lot more than a week ago. Imagine how much more wealth will be generated with access to capital. Maybe the Economist should revise its forecast because there are a lot of us that cannot sleep at night. Not through worry, but through unaccustomed anticipation”

JotaCê Carranca [pt] blogs some interesting pictures sent by a reader of the blog, first a creative wooden vehicle which looks like a bike found in the streets of Bocoio, Angola; then a school in Libangue “in which there is nothing else apart from what you can see [in the photo].

How cool would it be if they won. This combined with the citizen media that is discussed in this other post http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2008/03/06/africa-vloggers-bloggers-and-movies/
and we could actually have an Africa where the news is by the people for the people and in the interests of the people. What a beautiful, novel situation.
