E MAIL :[email protected] Website: www.kuwaittimes.net Issues Battlefronts against IS in northern Syria he Islamic State jihadist group is battling on several fronts in a swathe of territory in Tnorthern Syria. Much of the fighting is cen- tered around a main supply line snaking down from the Syrian-Turkish border to IS’s de facto capi- tal Raqa city. The jihadists are facing twin offen- sives-from a Kurdish-Arab alliance known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and from pro- regime troops-on either side of the town of Tabqa, a key transit town near Raqa. To the northwest, IS is also nearly surrounded by an SDF offensive on the town of Manbij, another major hub along the route. While any push on Raqa itself seems long term, the jihadists have stalled in an advance on Hillary Clinton’s mighty challenge: to unify her camp two rebel bastions further west.

  • GRANDE ENTREVISTA (THE BIG INTERVIEW) with VÍTOR GONÇALVES, RTP 3 15 January 2020
    GRANDE ENTREVISTA (THE BIG INTERVIEW) WITH VÍTOR GONÇALVES, RTP 3 15 January 2020 A very good evening. In an unprecedented decision, the Angolan courts decided to seize the Angolan bank accounts and company holdings of the businesswoman Isabel dos Santos. In her first interview with Portuguese television, Isabel dos Santos will explain what she thinks is happening in her country, Angola, and how she will respond to this decision by the Luanda Court. She will do this today in a special edition of RTP’s Grande Entrevista recorded in London. First of all, Isabel dos Santos, thank you very much for agreeing to be interviewed. The Provincial Court of Luanda believes that the businesses owned by you and your husband and the Portuguese director of your companies, Mário Leite da Silva, have deprived the Angolan state of an extraordinary amount of money: of $1,136,996,825.56 to be precise. Do you accept this allegation? Good evening, Vítor Gonçalves, and thank you for giving me the chance to answer your questions. As you can no doubt imagine, this is a very difficult time in my life. These allegations are accusations that I take very seriously. I have always worked with the greatest transparency, so all my business is very well known. I have operated in Angola for more than 20 years. I have operated in Portugal since 2005 or 2006. I have always operated transparently. I have always informed the authorities, both in Angola and in Portugal, of my investment plans. As you can imagine, a person in my position, with family connections to the President of the Republic, is subject to a great deal of scrutiny.

  • African Women Large-Scale Entrepreneurs: Cases from Angola, Nigeria and Ghana
    chapter 14 African Women Large-Scale Entrepreneurs: Cases from Angola, Nigeria and Ghana Miriam Siun, Akinyinka Akinyoade and Ewurabena Quaye Introduction This paper critically examines the road to prosperity for three African wom- en entrepreneurs of large-scale businesses within male-dominated fields of portfolio – investments, oil production and construction. Angolan Isabel Dos Santos, Nigeria’s Folorunsho Alakija and Ghana’s Dr. Theresa Oppong-Beeko are highly ranked among the wealthiest women in Africa. In fact, Dos Santos and Alakija are positioned as number eight and number thirteen in terms of personal wealth on the continent irrespective of gender, as contained on the African section of Forbes’ annual list of the world’s billionaires.1 Dos Santos, Alakija and Dr Oppong-Beeko have firmly established themselves and their companies in their respective industries, despite the challenges women face to enter these spaces. In some quarters, their individual trajectories to wealth calls meritocracy into question, as claims of patrimonialism and corruption is sometimes used to taint their accomplishments. This necessitates further studies on the obstacles for African women to become large-scale entrepre- neurs without personal connections to influential people/high profile leader- ship. In conclusion, this paper warns against uncritical praise of success stories on the basis of gender and takes a class-based approach to the study of women and entrepreneurship in Africa. In the mid-to-late twentieth century, Africa was afflicted with political and economic turmoil that made the continent unattractive to both domestic and foreign investors. Failure of most of its countries in attracting foreign invest- ment, coupled with capital flight as domestic savers sought investment op- portunities in more stable economies abroad further dampened the economic outlook (Mbaku, 2013).

  • Anne Pitcher & Edalina Rodrigues Sanches the Paradox of Isabel Dos
    Anne Pitcher & Edalina Rodrigues Sanches The Paradox of Isabel dos Santos: State Capitalism, Dynastic Politics, and Gender Hostility in a Resource-Rich, Authoritarian Country ABSTRACT Throughout the world, the sons and daughters of many state leaders attract media attention for their exploits. Like other famous children of politicians, Isabel dos Santos, the daughter of José Eduardo dos Santos, the former president of Angola (1979-2017), is the object of much media scrutiny regarding her investments and lavish spending habits. We rely on a systematic study of newspaper articles by Angolan and international media, readers’ comments, social media and websites to examine the conflicting portrayals of Isabel from 2010 to 2018. This period covers celebratory depictions of Isabel during the growth of her business empire to her dismissal as head of Sonangol after her father left the presidency. We argue that the change in portrayals of Isabel over time offers insight into the dimensions of dynastic politics in authoritarian settings. Whereas her position as wealthy presidential daughter ironically reinforced patriarchal political oligarchy, her downfall demonstrates the limits of hereditary politics in Angola. Keywords: Angola, West Africa, Isabel dos Santos, dynasties, feminism, gender, media, political economy, politics, wealth. RÉSUMÉ Dans le monde entier, les fils et les filles de nombreux chefs d’État attirent l’attention des médias pour leurs exploits. Comme d’autres enfants célèbres de politiciens, Isabel dos Santos, fille de José Eduardo dos Santos, ancien président de l’Angola (1979-2017), fait l’objet d’un examen approfondi de la part des médias au sujet de ses investissements et de ses habitudes de dépense fastueuses.

  • Isabel Dos Santos
    FILIPE S. FERNANDES ISABEL DOS SANTOS SEGREDOS E PODER DO DINHEIRO Abertura Angola apresenta um paradoxo terrível e chocante: uma das maiores concentrações de recursos em África tem sido associada, não ao desenvolvimento e a alguma pros- peridade, mas a anos de conflito, declínio económico e miséria humana. Poucos países apresentam um contraste tão acentuado entre o potencial económico e a situação do seu povo. É notável o conjunto de recursos de Angola: petróleo, diamantes, muitos outros minerais, terra em abundância e um clima geralmente favorável, além de enormes recursos hidroelétricos1. Angola e o seu sistema político, por mais calamitoso que seja, é um problema dos angolanos, faz parte do drama do seu povo e só a ele diz respeito, ninguém tem o direito de interferir2. Hoje a mulher mais importante, rica e poderosa de Por- tugal é a angolana Isabel dos Santos. Há mulheres portuguesas importantes, outras que são ricas, e umas quantas que são poderosas, mas só Isabel dos Santos é as três coisas.3 Em 2012, surgiu na lista das grandes fortunas da Forbes e no ano 9 FILIPE S. FERNANDES seguinte torna-se a primeira bilionária africana, segundo a mesma revista norte-americana, com uma fortuna avaliada em 3,7 mil milhões de dólares. Por sua vez, o jornal El País diz que o valor da sua riqueza «é difícil de contabilizar – entre 6,4 mil milhões a 12,8 mil milhões de reais, segundo pesquisas – já que, por mais que falem, da boca da “menina dos olhos” de seu pai nunca saiu nada.»4 Mas, «para angolanos zangados e pobres, ela é a epítome de um sistema que concentra o poder e a riqueza nas mãos de poucos.
