Angola 12-2001

Despite vast reserves of petroleum, diamonds and natural resources, decades of fighting between FAA (Fora Armada Angolana) forces and UNITA rebels have impoverished Angola and crippled its people. Eight years ago the water treatment station of Luena was attacked and mined by UNITA. The town has been without running water ever since. People must take paths through mined areas to obtain water from the river for drinking, cooking bathing and washing..Luena, Angola. 05-12-2001.Photo: J.B. Russell
