São Tomé and Príncipe - They Say, We Say...

Other countries say...

"U.S. relations with Sao Tome are excellent. In 1992, the Voice of America (VOA) and the Government of Sao Tome signed a long-term agreement for the establishment of a relay transmitter station in Sao Tome; VOA currently broadcasts to much of Africa from this facility. " US State Department

"Seats on the small aircraft that operate between the main island of São Tomé and the smaller island of Principe need to be booked well in advance or there is a risk that you could become stranded. On São Tomé, there are shared taxis but no other public transport." UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Sao Tome says...

"Of course it's logical that these islands have also oil because we are in the middle of the places where there is oil: Angola in the south, Nigeria north, Gabon, Cameroon, even Congo Brazzaville has oil, and Equatorial Guinea our neighbour. So it is also logical that we have some. But what quantity is another question." PPresident Fradique de Menezes , 2005.
