Violence Erupts in Angolan Capital Amid Fuel Price-Hike Protests

Unrest broke out on the streets of Angola’s capital as transport workers began a three-day strike to protest against surging fuel prices.

Videos posted on social media showed scenes of shops being looted, garbage bins being used to set up street blockades and tires being burnt on the outskirts of Luanda on Monday. Protesters also forced public buses to unload passengers and attacked non-striking drivers.
