Angolans vote in landmark polls

Angolans go to the polls on Friday to elect a new parliament - the first election in 16 years - and no expense has been spared in the preparations.
It was never going to be easy holding an election in a country after so many years of war with damaged infrastructure and millions of displaced people.
But as polling day approaches, it seems as if the authorities may be about to pull it off.

More than eight million people have been registered using an anti-fraud system of cards with holograms, pictures and fingerprints, and there is no shortage of publicity material encouraging citizens to vote - some of it being sent out via mobile phone text messages.
The electoral commission is setting up polling stations on oil rigs and helicopters will collect ballot papers from some remote voting stations while satellite and solar-powered fax machines will send lists from others.
And for those who have lost their voting cards, more than 6,000 hand-held computers will be used at polling stations to help people access their details and registration number.
