Unrest in Angola following protests against a fuel price hike has killed 22 people since Monday, the interior minister said, as calm returned to the capital.

Luanda

Violent protests have erupted across Angola in response to a government decision to raise petrol prices by more than 30 percent. The unrest, which began as a peaceful strike by taxi drivers, has resulted in at least 22 deaths over two days, according to reports. In the capital, Luanda, businesses were looted, public transport was disrupted, and many residents struggled to access food as shops closed.

Authorities have arrested more than 1,200 people and indicated that further detentions are expected. Human Rights Watch has accused Angolan police of using excessive force against demonstrators. The government’s move to cut fuel subsidies, despite Angola being Africa’s second largest oil producer, has been met with widespread public anger and economic disruption.

At least 22 killed in Angola fuel hike unrest

Second day of violence in Angola as protests against a rise in fuel prices continued. At least three people were reported dead across the country on Tuesday, bringing to seven the total of number killed in two days of unrest. In the capital, Luanda, businesses were looted and cars and public buses damaged. With many shops closing their doors, citizens had difficulty finding food, and those shops that did open found many people were staying at home. We're having trouble with taxis, there are no customers for us to sell to and all the shops are closed. The protests started off as a peaceful strike by taxi drivers against a government decision to raise petrol prices. Though the National Taxi Drivers Association suspended the strike on Monday, the Luanda chapter decided to continue. The Taxi Drivers Association distanced itself on Tuesday night from the riots. The chaos has left many in Luanda despondent. I don't think this is going to end well for the people. They should think before acting because they're harming themselves. All the things that have been destroyed, they'll need in the future. It's not just themselves they're harming. Luanda's train operator suspended services Tuesday after a number of its trains and facilities were stormed. More than 1,200 people have been arrested and police say there'll be more to come. The arrests will continue. Since yesterday we have said that we have images and information about the people committing these acts and they will continue to be detained. Angolan police have been accused by Human Rights Watch of using excessive force against the earlier peaceful protests. The latest rise of more than 30% in the price of petrol is a result of the government gradually cutting fuel subsidies in what is Africa's second largest oil producer.
