Demonstrations over a fuel price hike in Angola have turned deadly, with the death toll now at 22 and over 1,200 arrests reported since protests began. Protesters protested diesel cost increases by blocking roads and looting in Luanda’s Kalemba 2 district. Security forces responded with force, escalating violence across the capital. The unrest reflects anger over economic hardship and challenges in state subsidy policies. International observers warn that continued repression could fuel broader instability.
