...New African country... one more off my "
missing list"...this lovely postcard was issued to celebrate 5 years of peace (2007) following a 27-year civil war...the signing of an accord on April 4 2002, between the government and Unita rebels drew the line under a conflict that left half a million people dead and wrecked the infrastructure of a country that only won independence in 1975...Thanks Tian!!
