This paper explains that, although both nations have French-speaking elements to their cultural and history for geographical
and colonial reasons, the cultural elements and characteristics of the African nation of Angola and the European nation of Belgium are more striking in their differences than in their similarities. The author points out that Angola is still unstable and unsuitable for travel; whereas, Belgium is a European nation primarily known for its relative state of peace and ability to attract tourism and foreign investment. The paper relates that both nations are remarkable for their existence within the
crossroads of a multi-ethnic and complex political struggle for dominance, one on the European
continent and the other on the African continent.
