Adriana Lukovic- [] and [] Angola is Sub-Saharan, Africa's second largest oil producer. Their resources are not properly taken care of and because they are always at war and they mismanaged, they are not useful anymore. They get destroyed or mistreated which messes the resources up. The death rate of Angolan children is one of the highest in the world and the country. Because of mistreatment, we loose use of oil, and they loose money.
