At least three people were reported killed during Angola’s taxi-strike unrest, with banks and the country’s biggest shopping mall closing their doors as the shutdown entered a second day.

The government reported more than 100 arrests in disturbances sparked by the protests over surging fuel prices, which tapped into public frustration over the high cost of living in the oil-producing southwest African nation.
