angola: us says more must be done to end corruption

The United States will assist Angola's national reconciliation process, but the oil-rich African country must do more to reform its economy and fight corruption, a senior US official says. "As Angola faces the simultaneous transitions from war to peace and from a war-constrained polity to a more open political system, it will have to address pressing economic and social issues," Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Walter Kansteiner told a congressional panel.
