According to the SIC, the 37-year-old citizen was arrested for producing and disseminating on social media a video in which he “incited Angolan citizens” to commit “acts of subversion against public order” and threatened to burn down the American and French embassies in Luanda.
The arrest is the result of monitoring and monitoring of social networks through which it was possible to identify and arrest the author of the video, in the municipality of Belas, Ramiros neighborhood, in Luanda.
The video, which went viral on social media, urges Angolans to unite for Africa and in support of Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré, and accuses the government of supporting an alleged demand that the US assassinate Traoré.
For the author of the video, the assassination of the transitional President of Burkina Faso should give rise to attacks on the United States (US) and French embassies in Luanda.
“We are hearing that the MPLA and João Lourenço are supporting Trump to assassinate Traore, we here in Angola are going to attack the French embassy, tear it apart and burn it, and we are going to take the American embassy, burn it and destroy everything because we will not allow the West to kill an African who wants to liberate Africa, which is ours,” he said.
“We, Africans, need to unite to liberate Africa. We cannot allow the US to kill Traoré the way they killed Gaddafi [former President of Libya],” wrote the activist, encouraging “resistance.”
The criminal investigation police recommended that citizens make “correct use of social networks, so that they do not become a stage for the dissemination of hate messages, incitement to violence, advocacy of crime and other ways of subverting the established order”.
The body also ensures that it will “continue relentlessly” in combating all practices that alter public order and tranquility, remembering that the detained citizen will be presented to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
