A partnership with the state must be established. Companies would like to see greater transparency but they will not press the government to reveal budgets or bank accounts. It is unlikely that the Angolan government will accept this type of recommendation from the companies, and they are unlikely to make them. They are very absent in the peacemaking process. Certainly the Angolan government, since it is winning the war, is now more in the spotlight of how it serves the people, and its shortcomings more clearly seen since not all or even most of the suffering can be blamed on the war.
Democracy needs to be deepened and widened at the same time.
Elections are needed since 8 years have passed, but conditions must be prepared first, especially if they are to be held in 2001. Others felt the UN should be told the country was ready to go back to dialogue. Savimbi must be convinced to talk, and to retire gracefully and with dignity, his political validity has expired. The cobra must be moved away from the eggs but not killed. Angola belongs to all, we need national politics for the good of the whole country, a real integration, have openness, respect and tolerance for each other.
