Angola: President Joao Lourenço Is Harassing Former President Dos Santos by panafrican(op): 3:28pm On Dec 31, 2019
Joao Lourenço and the Gambian president Adama Barrow have so many things in common : both are incompetent, short of ideas, bitter, full of hatred against their predecessors, and they spend their time whining about the past instead of being creative.

Since that Joao Lourenço man took power he is doing nothing but attacking the Dos Santos family.

President Dos Santos is a Cold War Pan - Africanist hero who voluntarily left power in September 2017 , he defeated globalist puppet Jonas Savimbi in a long and bloody war .

Angola is an oil rich country ,but its development was wrecked not by mismanagement but by a long and devastating war involving world military superpowers.

Why can't Joao Lourenço start some mega projects such as high speed electric trains connecting at least 200 Angola cities and villages ?

Why can't he start creating more jobs by building more bridges or more highways like the Chinese do ?

Why is he not using oil revenue to start a big RD ( Research Development ) project that would help Angola' s top brained strive in Artificial intelligence or or other business fields ?

Instead of all of that, he is always after either president Dos Santos ' s daughter or the former president himself, talking about £760m .
Is that big money compared to what Angola' s oil
industry and customs are generating every month as dollar amount since Joao Lourenço has been in power?

Successors always looking for opportunities to humiliate those former presidents who voluntarily relinquish power in Africa is one of the reasons why many strongmen engage in a trench warfare and refuse to leave.

Angola court orders seizure of Isabel dos Santos's assets
1 hour ago. BBC NEWS December 31, 2019

An Angolan court has ordered the seizure of the assets and bank accounts of the billionaire daughter of ex-President José Eduardo dos Santos.

The seizure appears to be part of an anti-corruption drive by the current government in oil-rich Angola.

The administration of President Joao Lourenço is seeking to recover $1bn (£760m) it says it is owed by Isabel dos Santos and her associates.

She has repeatedly denied wrongdoing during her father's term in office.

Often described as Africa's richest woman, Ms Dos Santos is estimated by Forbes magazine to have a fortune of $2.2bn.

The 46-year-old lives abroad, saying she moved from Angola because her life had been threatened.

She runs a huge business empire with stakes in companies in Angola and Portugal, where she has shares in cable television firm Nos SGPS.
