Angola as numbers of African countries experienced long periods of war (almost 10 years of war). Since 2002 (end of war), the country has significant performance which allowed him to climb the second largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa behind Nigeria. Angola has virtually no industries except the major oil installations which are installed on most of the country's economy. According to Jorge da Cruz, an employee of an Angolan oil company interviewed by Cecile de Comarmond AFP, every morning he would leave his home located in a suburb browsing and mobs of trash located in the neighborhood where he lived for a company foreign oil. jorge earn $ 850 a month that is to say almost ten times the minimum wage Angola. But despite this high level as almost 86% of the Angolan population, jorge lives in a delicate situation. It spends $ 300 for courses at university and the rest said he returned to my family for food and other expenses. He went further, saying they are ten in number to live in a house with three rooms. Thus the conditions of misery in which living situation, the Angolan government must reduce these imports are doing is multiplied in order to bequeath a legacy of appropriate prices for these populations.
The war situation is without precedent in which the country has plunged him completely economic measures such as using imported today to this strong impact on prices of goods and foodstuffs. It is important to note that the most expensive city in the world for expatriates is Luanda, according to surveys conducted by Mercer last year. Nadine and her husband Lebanese pay 10 000 dollars per month for their rent in one of the upscale suburbs of Luanda and spend 5000 dollars to feed their little family of four. Sizala Cutaia, aged 30, receives a salary of $ 4000 but despite this wage, lives in a house where there is neither electricity nor water. Understand by this that there are places on earth where people can not live with their salary. Let us
that Angola is a rich country, but full of a population poor, who do not receive real wage, a salary appropriate to the standard of living of the population luandaise, but rather a nominal salary.
