She chaired state oil company Sonangol — the linchpin of Angola’s flagging, oil-dependent economy — before being sacked by Lourenço months after he came to power. A Lisbon-based spokesperson for Dos Santos said the billionaire businesswoman has not yet issued an official statement on the court ruling. Reuters was unable to reach Dokolo or Da Silva, and BFA did not answer calls seeking comment.She tweeted late on Monday: “I would like to leave a message of tranquility and confidence to my teams ... We will continue, every day, in every business, doing our best and fighting for what I believe in for Angola. The road is long, the truth will prevail.
