"The recent ones have been going to key groups who I have been told are essential for our well-being in Angola"

...."who i have been told".........

is he talking of physical well being? - or advancement in negotiations?

yep, plenty of palms to grease - transparency a rare commodity on the dark continent - part & parcel

i see from the many posts that quite a few are a little anxious - huge news breaking attention getting requires many, many small steps along the way - i think a few have quicker expectations than is realistic

the closer you get to the bigger news, the more complicated the scenario's get

understandable that questions should be lodged with MS - how he handles those posers will determine how much strength he has in his convictions
