I doubt very much that any announcement this week will b e about diamonds. MShas said that Kwanza and Cameroon need to be settled first before any action on diamonds BUT the following might whet your appetite.

LUANDA (Reuters) -
Angola's state-run diamond company wants foreign companies as partners to tap what it believes are vast undiscovered pockets of the precious gems, a company official said on Thursday.
In an interview with Reuters, Endiama spokesman Sebastiao Panzo said the mineral-rich southwestern African nation wanted to attract investors who were interested in bottom-up diamond exploration and prospecting.
Angola, the continent's third largest diamond producer and the world's fifth biggest in terms of value, is exploring only about 40 percent of the territory believed to have potential for diamond mining, with production concentrated in its northeastern provinces.
"Surveys from the colonial era show we have diamonds in other areas we need to prospect. Who dares to prospect with us -- those are the partners we need. We want international partners to go to the bottom of the pipeline of the industry with us," Panzo said.
