Angola is likely to produce diamonds worth close to $900 million in 2005, resulting in much greater government revenue. But spending on health, education and rural infrastructure remains low. 2005 marks the 30th anniversary of Angolan independence and the third year of real peace following the ending of the country's long civil war. Slow development can no longer be blamed on conflict, especially when reconstruction starts from very low levels. See Angola More about it on the above web site.
