Angola: Nationwide court worker strike launched May 28

Event

Court workers in Angola - including clerks and registrars - launched a five-day strike nationwide on Monday, May 28, to demand salary increases and better working conditions. Protests and associated transportation disruptions are possible in the coming days.

The court workers have stated that they intend to stage another two-week strike starting from August 28 if their demands are not met.

Advice

All those present in Angola are advised to keep abreast of the situation and avoid all public gatherings due to the risk of violence, which can flare up with little warning.
