50 Cent Chain Snatched in Angola

Now...I know this is alil late..but I think some of yall might enjoy this. The most interesting thing about this video is the semi-anarchic nature of Angola compared to the US and other western countries. For those that have never been to the 3rd world..this is a peak into a very raw reality. Keep in mind that Angola is a country that suffered under colonialism thru the Portuguese, and had a civil war that lasted from 1975-2002! According to Wikipedia "Angola's economy has undergone a period of transformation in recent years, moving from the disarray caused by a quarter century of war to being the second fastest growing economy in Africa and one of the fastest in the world. The country has developed its economy since political stability arose in 2002. However, it faces huge social and economic problems as a result of an almost continual state of conflict since 1961. Poverty remains widespread. Anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International rated Angola one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world in 2005. The capital city is the most developed and the only large economic center worth mentioning in the country, however, slums called musseques, stretch for miles." With that said...enjoy...
