“At least four people were killed and hundreds were arrested during a protest against a fuel price hike in Angola’s capital, police said. The protests erupted on Monday in response to the government’s decision earlier this month to raise the price of diesel by 30 percent, which led to large hikes in fares by minibus taxis, an important method of transport for many Angolans. Gunfire could be heard in central Luanda’s Cazenga area, where people were seen taking food and other items from shops. Social media images showed clashes in the Rocha Pinto suburb near the airport, as well as in the Prenda area.” (07/29/25)
