Angola: Social Crisis Worsening
The government shows greater concern in removing the food crisis from the media spotlight, so as not to affect its image, especially with the approach of the 2027 elections, in an environment of evident internal and external unpopularity of JOÃO LOURENÇO and possible new outbreaks of protests. A police charge on 08.AUG against UNITA militants in Uíge is attributed to the "nervousness" of the authorities regarding the possible outbreak of protests.
