Its an embarrassment to us Africans.Our leaders are dying in foreign hospitals because African leaders do not built "World class standard" hospitals in their countries. They are rather interested in enriching themselves.The same way our children study in their native countries at flop government schools..while their children are abroad at the best private schools and universities tax money can afford. They dont care about the education system ,health system or creating jobs for the youth because their relatives are living comfortable lives in Europe and America.Angola played the biggest role in the independence of Namibia and That we thank him for as Namibians and we will pass on that gratitude to our descendents..but Dos Santos like many African presidents sold his people out.Angola is suffering because of him.He died with billions in his accounts while Angola is in dire need of Investors.Our biggest hurdle in Africa is our leaders.During colonialism,"they went Into exile and fought for Africa as Pan africanists and when they returned..they returned as sell outs".

Un corrupto, Responsable de llegar al poder pobre y morirse multimillonario.

About time, it took ages!

Some background: Studied in Soviet, joined a marxist-leninist party to rule Angola with an iron fist, later transferred the party from a marxist-leninist platform to a social democratic one, has been accused for rights violations and corruption, for enriching himself while the people were living on less than $2 per day. One of the longest serving leaders, fought against US/Western backed anti-communist forces until they were defeated. Angola is still to this day a very poor country.

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES RIP SIR🙏

R.I.P.

another corrupt dictator that won't be missed.

Interesting clip,

Condolences to his family and the entire Angola

Didn't believe in all the global jibbyjab lockstep nonsense I expect.... He knew the dangers of a three dart finish.

RIP

And he can't take any of the stolen money with him. What a shame. He died and left his country in poverty.

Rest in peace do santos..I hope you meet my grandma that was killed by MPLA in 2002...it hurts..but in the end God is bigger than everything....

Aleluya

We Need a doku about him and Haus Family!

Tchize just came in here please😂😂😂😂

God Bless you Nation’s father ❤️🙏🏾

He could have changed the country. But he loved money it seems

79 is young

Why all ex leaders are dying suddenly first Shinzo Abe and now Angola's ex leader

A good long life, I hope he has found the peace and rest he deserves. You will be loved and missed by millions around the world and millions more in your mother land.

Angola why are you not telling us Here in Kenya we are alive and well In Tanzania they are well and Uganda

eeh better than many other dictators , he seemed to have done a solid job

Até no uk estam nos posta,angola ta famosa

🕊️🙏🕊️

bbc wants all the oil

Was he also killed by a video game creator?

Angola people should go after the family to get their stolen money back! He couldn’t build a standard good hospital in his home country , he was in power for nearly 40 years in power! He enriched his daughter to be a billionaire using Angola ‘s money 💰! Sad thing is they are going to use the country’s money to do a state grand funeral fir him , whiles millions of Angola people are wallowing in abject poverty

😵😲👻

RIP Jonas Savimbi

Hw will never rest in peace for the money he stole from the poor Angola.

The non educated children of Moxico do not mourn this death!

Another Fallen Dictator

You played your role by building Angola and therefore rest in peace dos Santos

The BBC will go obscure as you like to keep the 'diverse' news going lol.

God getting rid of the trash

Fackkk biger cotoption in africa ..

Bye bye

we salute cde.edward dos Santos for the role he played and solidarity he given us to gain our freedom and independence of Namibian. He was a true hero of Africa! we won't forget Angolan people under the leadership of cde.Dos Santos! they gave us accommodation freely in order for us to fight the boers of south Africa of that time! may his soul rest in peace!!

MHSRIEP

Ofc BBC would spread misinformation. Back in colonial times São Tomé was a plantation for Angolans. His parents were therefore still Angolans, because many generations of Angolans were in São Tomé. Angola has peace since 2002. Dos Santos ruled under corruption too, but aside of it, his legacy should be reminded as a strong and decisive leader for the faith of not only Angola but the entire Southern Africa. Dos Santos armed Namíbia who and defeated the apartheid Army, that ignited the end of white domination in Southern Africa. As to Isabel dos Santos, her demonization comes specially from the Portuguese who saw her as a threat because Angolan bankers under her orientation were taking over Portuguese banks, to this day Portugal owe us money, this is the silent part of the story that y’all won’t hear from BBC. Fck BBC. The Angola dos Santos received in 1979 and the Angola entering peace in 2002, with the Angola of 2017 that he left, are completely different. How come Angola, a country that was turned by 30 years of war, and has been at peace since 2002, is statistically comparable to so many African countries who have been at peace for more the 5 decades. HOW. If all dos Santos did was take, do you really think Angola would be the in the shape it is today? How the Fck is our economy greater than Ghana’s, and even Nigeria’s, or Kenya, in per Capita income, these countries have been at peace since their independence, with no comparable war, yet somehow, the terrible Dos Santos regime, who inherited a country already turned apart by war, and started fixing it since 2002, was horrendous. Give me a break.

Dictator

re-run the grooming gangs in UK - which you featured back in the day! - real news - today 👎🏻

Good riddance of a corrupt cruel dictator.
