One more thing walking around at late hours of the night is not suggested cause car jacking; especially on foreigners is a new problem here in Angola. All motorists should stop at nighttime police checkpoints if so ordered by them.
Military soldiers patrol City streets and police who do carry automatic weapons around on them at all times. You should not challenge the police or the soldiers cause they are unpredictable.
