Seven people were killed and twenty-eight injured in Angola as police quelled protests in Luanda Norte Province, six hundred and fifty-six kilometer north of the Capital, Luanda.

The incident took place in Cafunfu village, Caungo municipality.

            In a statement, the Police Service said it foiled an armed rebellion organized by three hundred members of the Luanda Tchokwe protectorate Movement in self-defence.

The Police officers accused the demonstrators of attacking a police station in order to raise the movement’s flag.

LTPM’s head Jose Mateus Zecamut Chima rejected the claim of an armed rebellion, saying it was a peaceful and orderly demonstration agitating for talks with the government about the region’s autonomy.

He said the killing of seven demonstrators and the injuring of twenty-eight others is a barbarous and cowardly act.
