Angolan youth frustrations could grow
Significance Both reflecting and channelling recent localised protests about various issues, this movement of non-party youth has become a focal point for growing frustration with President Joao Lourenco’s government. With wide appeal, the movement has also taken both the ruling and opposition parties by surprise. Impacts The demonstrations will make it more challenging for the MPLA to win local elections if, and when, they are held. UNITA will struggle to maintain its current balancing act of backing the protests but not wanting to appear to foment unrest. Parliamentary consensus on the remaining bills for local elections may prove elusive: the MPLA will likely insist on contentious provisions.
