Thanks for that Adolfo. I too watch Aljazeera regularly as they go 'in depth' with their news and stories. As for Portugal's colonial past, you may remember me telling you that after my late brother(Wilfred) visited Angola after his short imprisonment in the Congo(foreign journalists were badly treated)- he saw at first hand the brutal treatment the Africans were enduring. On arriving in Tanganyika, he saw Julius Nyerere and Oscar Kambona and appraised them of the situation in Angola. On hearing his report, Nyerere broke off diplomatic relations with Portugal. A report of this was carried in the Indian Express newspaper - thanks to the late Jawaharlal Rodrigues who was a senior reporter at the Nation newspaper in Nairobi at the time and a regular correspondent of the Express. Best wishes.
