There is more about her in tomorrow night's Panorama. Isabel dos Santos: Africa's richest woman 'ripped off Angola' BBC Panorama Team 4 hours ago https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-51128950 'José Filomeno dos Santos: Son of Angola's ex-leader in 'extraordinary' trial - BBC News 9 Dec 2019 · José Filomeno dos Santos and his co-accused helped spirit $0.5bn (£0.4bn) out of the country during his time as head of Angola's Sovereign Wealth Fund, prosecutors say. ... It is an extraordinary moment for a famously corrupt, impoverished and oil-rich country, says BBC Southern ...' I don't suppose there will be any mention of Blair in the programme or if the Panorama team found anything untoward about his visits to the country. I remember that in the 1960's many Britons were going there as mercenaries in the war for independence from Portugal and the civil war that ensued. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angolan_War_of_Independence See the section 'Aftermath'. The War for Independence became a multi faction civil war in which a million lives were lost. |
