The exploitation of petroleum in Angola is in the hands of a
Belgium company, Petrofina, and a United States bank, the Chase National
Bank, while Companbia Angolana is controlled by the Belgian bank, Rallfi.
The railroad in Angola is controlled by a British company, Tanganyika
Concessions. West Germany had an agreement with Portugal to exploit iron
in south Angola. An American company, Gulf Oil Corporation, has a concession to explore petroleum deposits in Mozambique and to build roads and
airports. Another American company is tha Mozambique Pan-American
International Oil Company. The Belgium company, Companie Miniere Geologique
handles the iron ore industry of Mozambique. 4/
Our human rights "ie forgotten or ignored because of the economic
interests of the great powers. To them ohly the white man has rights in
our countries while we blacks are looked down on, exploited, oppressed and
killed. No one of them will effectively take a decisive position to condemn the behavior of the rppressor. When the rights of whites seem to be
undermined, they are quick to intervene and defend them but we are not
considered as human being deserving of the same human rights.
Today we are fighting for our independence against the will of
the Portuguese who would like to continue forever to be our bosses and
leaders. The big powers feel their investments not sure and in order to
protect their interests, they aid Portugal under the pretext of preventing
communism in Africa. This argument is used to acquire more world support
and to justify their behavior. But who told them communism would come
through Mozambique or Angola? What about the whole of Africa which is
independent and is being led by Africans like those of Mozambique and
Angola?
Mr. Reis Ventura does not hesitate in pointing out the interests
of Europeans in Africa in Chapter 5 of "Africa - Economic Complement of
Europe"; "...it is known that only Belgium Congo detains 50% of world-wide
reserves of radio and 5% of the uranium deposits in the western world.
Angola also gives good perspectives in the picture frame of the potentialities of strategical ore and fuels. And its production of iron, now
begun under the best auspices, constitutes new supplies of European
industry of steel." 5/
And in chapter 7, "Africa and the Western Defense", he says:
"It adds that it is in Africa where in nowadays are situated the biggest
reserves of ore used in the fabrication of the decisive arms. Suffice
it to mention the Belgium Congo uranium and that of the Union of South
Africa to attract the greedy eyes of those who aim at the dominion of the
world." 6/
