Our embassy has issued a safety reminder that a Chinese citizen's vehicle was smashed and slightly injured, and a violent riot occurred in the capital of Angola to protect the public | China
On the 5th, due to the significant increase in gasoline prices by the An government, which caused public dissatisfaction, a demonstration occurred in the capital city of Wanbo Province, which escalated into violent riots, resulting in casualties and public property damage. A Chinese citizen's vehicle was smashed and suffered minor injuries. On the 6th, the local security situation has eased somewhat.
Due to the impact of this oil price adjustment on the lives of Angolan people, there is still a risk of deterioration in the security situation in the future. The Chinese Embassy in Angola reminds all Chinese citizens and institutions in Angola to closely monitor the latest trends in local social security and safety situation, effectively improve safety awareness, and protect personal lives and property from infringement. At the same time, strictly abide by the law in business operations, work legally, comply with traffic regulations, reduce unnecessary travel, and avoid going to, passing by, or observing various demonstrations or group riots. In case of emergency, please report to the police in a timely manner or contact the nearest Huashe Joint Defense Team. You can also call our consulate's emergency protection hotline for help.
