Fotos Antigas de Angola - Pre War Angola Photos
Angola was such a beautiful place before the war. Very nice and well-planned cities. It desserves its own thread. Although most of us weren´t born when all these pictures here where taken, I will try to capture the pre-war era! Let´s all hope and pray that this country gets rebuilt quickly and efficiently!
 Most of the pictures date back to the late 60´s and 70´s! THE CAPITAL LUANDA            cinema complex            a hypermarket in the eraly 70´s   buildings under consruction                       public garden          a school/university      public garden      ....TO BE CONTINUED |

Huambo looked excellent.
Shame how this particular city is today. Seems like Huambo was a city that got the worst of the war, correct ? |

That's the consequences one must pay for long wars. Kabul for instance was also a beautiful city at one point.
Excellent pictures Matthias. Any other cities you're going to show us next ? Huambo ? |

Sure infrastructure was better etc however we shouldn't look back on colonial times as if they were better. It is without doubt the darkest era in african history.
