Four killed, hundreds arrested in Angola protests against fuel price hike

Description:

At least four people were killed and hundreds arrested during protests in Angola’s capital, Luanda, following a 30% diesel price hike. The increase triggered sharp fare rises by minibus taxis, leading to widespread unrest, looting, and road blockades. Police reported 400 arrests overnight and significant property damage, including vandalized shops and damaged vehicles. The protests began after fuel subsidies were cut on July 1, part of a broader subsidy reduction plan since 2023. Human Rights Watch has accused police of using excessive force during earlier demonstrations, Al-Jazeera has reported. Transport and businesses in Luanda remain largely shut down. read more: 👍 Like this video to raise awareness about the impact of economic policies and civil unrest in Angola. 💬 Comment below—how should governments balance subsidy cuts with protecting citizens’ livelihoods? 🔗 Share this video to inform others about the situation unfolding in Luanda. 💰 Want to support the channel?
