Africa-Press – Angola. The governor of Lunda- Norte, Deolinda Satula Vilarinho, said this Thursday that the preservation of peace must be a patriotic duty and an unconditional commitment of all Angolans, as it is one of the decisive factors for sustainable development of any nation.
The governor made this statement during the provincial event marking 22 years of peace and national reconciliation, stressing that preserving peace is not an exclusive task for those who govern, but for everyone “who wants to see Angola politically, socially and economically stable”.
He highlighted the need for Angolans to preserve the gains of peace, avoiding acts of vandalization of public assets and actions that jeopardize social and political peace, such as “riots”, disrespect for national symbols and State institutions.
He stressed that young people must be promoters of peace and contribute to the consolidation of democracy, avoiding participating in acts of civil violence, putting into question what was achieved with sacrifice.
“We must honor our heroes with acts of patriotism and citizenship, without resorting to violence, vandalism, civil disobedience, riots, among others, because the absence of peace will not only be a consequence of those who govern, but of all Angolans” , he stressed.
On the other hand, he reiterated that the gains of peace in Lunda-Norte are unquestionable, highlighting the sectors of Health, Education, Roads, Energy and Housing.
Among the gains, he highlighted Mussungue’s ancestry, with more than five thousand homes, more than 200 schools, the rehabilitation of the roads that connect nine of the province’s ten municipalities, national roads 225 and 230 and more than 100 health units.
He also highlighted the ongoing rehabilitation of the Luachimo hydroelectric dam, which will increase the electrical energy production capacity from 8 to 34 megawatts, the installation of the Lucapa photovoltaic plant (7.19 MW) and the implementation of the Lueji A’nkonde University.
