Luanda, a city that appears to dive into the Atlantic Ocean, is changing so fast that you can go twice in a row and find it different each time. It is exciting to watch one of the fastest growing cities in the world as it recovers from the struggles of a civil war. This rebirth is fueled by the booming oil and diamond industries. There is a new airport, new roads, and new structures everywhere you look in this capital city. Luanda’s bustling seaport draws newcomers from all over the globe, and the population boom has also brought an increase in crime, mostly confined to the shantytowns that surround the city core. After winning independence from Portugal, the recovery and establishment of a new nation was hindered by the absence of skills necessary to the task, so this has been at times a very slow process.
