 Winne.com - Report on Angola - Angola's tormented path to petro-diamond led growth
Namibe and Benguela, located on the coast, may be given as two examples of provinces blessed with an exceptional growth potential and a clearer vision of their development on the long term as the conflict with the UNITA forces is progressively fading away.
The Province of Namibe may already be classified as an exception as such when considering its location and more especially the fact that it is the only province that has never been affected by the war.
Unfortunately, unlike Namibe, the province of Benguela has been suffering since the independence from the conflict opposing the MPLA and the UNITA, hence reducing significantly the activity of the Port of Lobito down to 45% of its working capacity, with a figure of 7,073 containers exported and 7,410 containers imported over the year 2000.

 Planet Ark - FEATURE - Dunes, Drawings Give Angola's Namibe Tourism Edge
NAMIBE, Angola - With towering golden sand dunes, ancient art and stunning flora and fauna, Angola's Namibe region could be a dream playground for thrill-seeking tourists.
