Cycling Angola
Cycling 2800 KM in Angola in February and March 2014, the most positive surprise among my whole Trans-African journey.
This video features the 12-hour chata trip around the Congo river mouth between Cabinda and Soyo, the sand road until N'zeto, the new roads in the mountains of Quibaxe and Golungo Alto, the non-existent roads and dugout canoe passages in the Landos around Kixinge and Longanhia, the mountain roads around Uku-Seles, Lubango, its carnival, Christo-rei and Tundavala, the Serra-da-Leba road, the last rains of the rainy season in the Cunene province around Otchinjau, and some big caterpillars.
What the video doesn't say is that with Dave (at 16:15), we needed 2-3 hours to clean the sticky mud from the 50-meter stretch between our tents and the gravel road. Nor does it say that I have been taken to police stations almost every day for looking suspicious (and for being a cycle-tourist, or for taking pictures (for example, of the valley at 10:10) without authorization).

Angola's Stunning Natural Beauty - Made in Angola Film
The Eduardo dos Santos Foundation (FESA) officially presented a documentary film entitled Made in Angola on July 8th 2009.
Made In Angola showcases the remarkable recovery this virtually unknown African nation has made over the past several years.
Viewers will be mesmerized by Angola's breathtaking natural beauty as they encounter untouched beaches, virgin tropical rain-forests, vast deserts, endless savannah and magnificent waterfalls. Beyond the stunning natural beauty, viewers will also be intrigued by Angola's spectacular economic growth, its commitment to reconstruction and development and its rich cultural heritage.
The documentary, co-produced by Mundis Production and New Atlantis, was filmed in the provinces of Luanda, Kwanza Sul, Huila, Cabinda, Bengo, Huambo, Namibe, Zaire, Malanje and Lunda Norte.
Post civil war Angola - Straight through Africa
Bram Vermeulen travels along the old front line of a forgotten war, in the hinterland of the most expensive city in the world. What does the rest of Angola notice about the oil and diamond dollars that flow to Luanda?
It is the most expensive city in the world. Renting a two- or three-room apartment costs you six or seven thousand US dollars a month here. New York? No, Luanda, the capital of Angola. The skyscrapers have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years and along the water there is a brand new promenade. Bram looks his eyes out. What a difference with six years earlier!
Angola was recently a poverty-stricken country, devastated by a civil war that began when the country became independent of Portugal in 1975 and which ended in 2002. Now the oil money is pouring in, and diamonds also bring in money. The economy has grown by more than 11 percent a year since the end of the fighting. This is clearly visible in the center of the capital, but what about the rest of the country?
The train track is in any case beautiful. Completely restored, thanks to China. And a train passenger tells Bram that Angola is now a new country, albeit in an embryonic phase. And indeed, traces of the civil war can still be seen everywhere: a rusted tank, a derailed train, countless ruins full of bullet holes. Mine fields that have to be stripped centimeter by centimeter of their explosive charge. And victims of violence, who lack limbs.
The war was eventually lost by Unita, a movement that fought with support from South Africa and the US against the Marxist government of the MPLA, when their leader Jonas Savimbi was killed. Yet Unita still has many supporters in the city of Huambo, where Savimbi lived.
Unita has not really lost the war, one of them thinks. Because Unita always stood for a free market economy and free elections. The MPLA wanted something else. And what do we see today? Exactly: a country where the free market rules, and democracy. Unita has won in a certain way.
End well, all right? There is something to wonder about that. Only 20 percent of the population benefits from the new wealth, says the brother of the famous doctor David Bernardino, who was murdered in the war. The rest of the people are poor and live, for example, in slums, or meager huts in the countryside.
Life is tough here, say the young players of a football team. They each have only one leg, so that makes it extra difficult to find work and seduce girls. But there is no point in fostering resentment, a boy thinks. I will have to live without that leg, and do the things that I can do.
Episode 7. Behind the skyscrapers
Bram Vermeulen travels along the old frontline of a forgotten war, in the hinterland of the world’s most expensive city. What does the rest of Angola see of the oil and diamond dollars that are flowing into Luanda?
