I got to work for 6 months in Huambo, Angola in 2002, at the end of its civil war. Let me share a few glimpses, taken with my first digital camera (forgive the quality). A big highlight was spending a weekend with Tim Hetherington (Tim Hetherington - Wikipedia) - respect, great man!
Luanda, my desperate Portuguese teacher. Spanish works for those who want to understand ;-)
