A massive protests have erupted in Angola following the government's decision to increase fuel prices. A report from one of our trusted sources on ground confirmed multiple arrests, with the whereabouts of detainees unknown.
Much like the situation in Kenya, the people of Angola are determined to fight for their rights. This unrest comes at a time when a new oil and mineral resource deposit has been discovered in the country, sparking widespread questions from citizens: Why, with Angola being an oil-rich nation, can fuel not be made affordable for its people?
The protests are unfolding as the U.S. Africa Command has announced its presence in Angola, pledging to collaborate with the government on economic development and ensuring stability in the oil-rich nation.
