Bereft of the pity of the gods and victim of the madness of man, Angola was engulfed in one of the great tragedies of our time, one-third of the population displaced, hundreds of thousands of children abandoned, the destruction of towns and the dismantling of the country's burgeoning economic infra-structure.
Uden gudernes barmhjertighed og som offer for menneskenes vanvid, er Angola sunket ned i en af vor tids store tragedier: en tredjedel af befolkningen fordrevet, hundredtusinder af forladte børn, ødelagte byer, landets begyndende økonomiske infrastruktur brudt ned.
