A photo I took from our camp in 2001 -
Africa is known for colourful sunsets.
The autumn of 2003, the Angola section of Bjornthegreat.com was opened. The
mission-statement sounded: "Angola is a beautiful country located on the west
coast of Africa. I lived here for three years, which made a great impression on
me. I will try to publish some pictures, information here. Information about
this country, which sadly was destroyed by a terrible war, is hard to find, and
very inaccurate. I will be updating and adding information as often as suitable,
and links will be made below."
Now, several years later, I see that I have collected a lot of information, a
few pictures and many stories in my Angola section. It is getting hard to find
new topics for research (without going in extreme depth, like I did with the
1992 elections), but I still try to update this section from time to time.
