Getting over it

Preface

Thanks to the Chinese, Angola has just opened its biggest bridge. It's the first to cross the Cunene river in the south since the country's bridges were blown up in the 1975-2002 civil war. Other projects are struggling, though. Angola is due to host football's African Nations Cup in January but the biggest new stadium in the capital, Luanda, is behind schedule.
