Angola Protests: At Least 22 Killed, Nearly 200 Injured in Violent Clashes | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Angola is grappling with the aftermath of deadly protests sparked by a recent increase in fuel prices. The death toll has dramatically risen to 22, including a police officer, with nearly 200 injured and over 1200 arrested. Violence erupted on Monday (July 28) when taxi drivers initiated a three-day strike, leading to widespread looting, vandalism, and clashes with police in the capital, Luanda, and other provinces. Despite a tense calm returning to Luanda, the streets remain largely empty, and many shops are shut, amid a heavy security presence. The unrest marks some of the worst the country has seen in years, fuelled by the government's gradual removal of fuel subsidies since 2023. Human rights groups have accused authorities of using excessive force against protesters, further escalating tensions. The protests highlight deep public discontent over economic hardship, with Angola facing high inflation, significant unemployment, and widespread poverty. Many accuse the long-governing MPLA party and President João Lourenço's administration of corruption and mismanagement of the economy, leading to a severe social and economic crisis.
