regardless of which law is used to confirm the legal title the underlying issue here is the fear the Angolan gov't will reneg on deals... Given their major push to engage the rest of the world and push for foreign investment it would be out of line with their goals to be seen renegging on deals... particularly deals sealed up very recently. It would undermine business confidence to a huge a degree. Even if it's only a small player they screw. Larger players will be very hesitant to commit funds after such an event... Not an outcome that is in Angolan interests at all.
