Last Saturday, January 30, according to the police, about 300 people linked to the Portuguese Protectorate Movement Lunda Tchokwe (MPPLT), which has been defending the autonomy of that region for years, tried to invade a police station, forcing the orderly forces to defend up, causing six deaths
The police version is contradicted by MPPLT leaders, opposition political parties and local civil society, who speak of at least 25 more dead and claim that it was an attempted demonstration, previously reported to the authorities, and that the demonstrators were unarmed
