well this crisis came to a head while chancellor angela merkel was out of the country on a 3 day visit to southern africa t.w. . is in angola the 2nd stop of merkel's trip he told us that the political political situation back harm has been very much on mind. the developments in germany are following the german chancellor all the way here to angola we understand from her delegation that she is very much in contact with the leadership of her political party and she is trying to work on a solution as well but she did not want to talk about it she of the journalists tried to ask her questions during a press conference she refused to address the issues in germany and said this will be happening tomorrow instead she tried to divert the attention to the real reasons why she came here she wants to intensify the cooperation between angola and germany especially because the current government of drug law against it has been in power for 2 years now so they're trying to push forward a course of reform going against the trend of massive corruption that the country

has seen here till then so it's trying to go after the very people who used to be in his own party and stole money from the country and so was asked at a press conference if you would like to have more international support and freezing assets off people like isabel do santos the daughter of the firm of former president and he said yes he would appreciate that but he would even appreciate it more it's. the international world would help bring these assets back to angola. well i'm goal is presidential al gore and so comes from the same political party as the country's previous leader corruption under that administration devastated the economy sorry many i'm golan's are skeptical about lorenzo's promise to create jobs and improve their lives. no wonder the capital of angola on display in the city center is evidence of the massive oil wealth that is poured into the southern african country in recent decades. but just

a lot of money but we are suffering here. joe while renzo took office 2 years ago his predecessor had been in power for 38 years lorenzo's honest attempts at confronting the rampant corruption have surprised many here he's even confronted former party allies. these are meant the prufrock to group that it's precisely because i have seen these high levels of corruption because i think it must be stopped. that we are fighting what we've witnessed for decades. when people are sick or wish that it might be comfortable for us to leave things as they were before we forced norrish bishop who would not be correct in my. city of it we have a chance to make a change. and this is the right time to do it or woman to. lauren so is even going off to the former president's children especially isabel
