Angola Concerned but Not Yet Threatened by Protests

A relatively new social activist group in Angola is calling for a protest in the capital Aug. 26, a STRATFOR source said. As frustrations about government corruption and socio-economic injustice build, the long-time ruling party can be expected to use its wealth from the country's natural resources and its security forces to keep the opposition reined in. However, the government recognizes that the public discontent could eventually enliven an opposition movement that poses a real threat.
