The U.S. Embassy in Luanda informs U.S. citizens that Angola will hold general elections on Wednesday, August 23.
U.S. citizens are advised to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness during the election period. Keep in mind that demonstrations that are meant to be peaceful can become confrontational without warning. You should avoid them. Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to local news media reporting.
