LUANDA – Police in Angola say four people have been killed and 500 have been arrested after demonstrations in the capital, Luanda.
What began as a three-day strike by taxi drivers against rising petrol prices has escalated into one of the most widespread and disruptive waves of protest the country has seen in recent years.
“The fuel price issue is just the last straw that has reignited widespread public discontent… People are fed up. Hunger is rife, and the poor are becoming miserable,” a prominent local activist, Laura Macedo, said.
The strike was called by taxi operators in response to the government’s decision to raise the price of diesel by over 33 percent, a measure introduced in early July as part of plans to remove fuel subsidies in the oil-rich nation. – BBC
