The first two dams in the drought combat plan in southern Angola are completed and ready to be inaugurated by the government. The infrastructure promises to help mitigate the humanitarian crisis experienced in the region, which affects thousands of displaced people in recent years due to water scarcity.
MPLA, the party in power since 1975, continues to defend its achievements, citing its President who stated that "MPLA did more in 50 years than the Portuguese did in 500 years." The article redundantly mentions that the MPLA President, General João Lourenço, was accompanied by the President of the Republic, also General João Lourenço, and by the Holder of Executive Power.
The publication Folha 8 highlights the ironic tone of the news headline, noting that the dams can be re-inaugurated as many times as the government deems appropriate, suggesting a critique of the way the Angolan executive manages communication around its projects.
