 * I agree. Just go ahead! Aflis (talk) 16:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Strongly disagree. They're distinctly different articles and should be further developed as such. Prburley (talk) 11:00, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Given Angola's enormous income from oil and its lucrative trade links with China, the notion that "The ongoing grave economic situation largely prevents any government support for social institutions. " is unsupportable. Could someone knowledgeable but not connected with the government of Angola please give a more reasonable explanation for the continuing poverty in the country?

Important notice
The government section of the "Outline of Angola" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist.

Thank you.

Prime Minister
The Paulo Kassoma article states that the post of Prime Minister was eliminated by the new constitution. However, Paulo Kassoma is still stated as the prime minister in this article and the politics section of the Angola article. Elfalem (talk) 03:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Title
What exactly is "Politics of Angola"? Are we talking about "Political system in Angola"/ "Angolan political system"? Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 01:44, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Experience with democracy
@Hello Rui Gabriel: The justification given for the edit you made today surprised me quite a bit. In the first place, because - looking at the history of the article -  I wonder what is the version you consider as the original one. In the second place, it is for me obvious that the text you eliminated is anything but "original research": it is 100% basic common knowledge among people who are reasonably acquainted with the subject - to the extent that it would even be slightly comical to refer to sources (although these exist abundantly....). I am sure you are aware of both aspects, and thus wonder what is the motivation behind your reaction...Aflis (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * @Aflis, I am more surprised that you sometimes still display such profound lack of understanding of how the WP works. Please note that "100% basic common knowledge among people who are reasonably acquainted with the subject" is just that - people reasonably acquainted with the subject. And "people reasonably acquainted with the subject" are NOT sources and anything they add based on being "people reasonably acquainted with the subject" is exactly what is termed original research. Unfortunately your and my experience and knowlede of the country count for very little. The advantage is that we know the subject and are therefore in a better position to spot somehting that sounds odd and look into it and to add anything that we know is missing, and do so once we have found an independent tertiary source. The fact that you rewrote what was there and kept the same source is a second reason for removing because the source orignally added and your edit say different things.
