Angola’s President João Lourenço is facing a barrage of online criticism over his governance, in what could suggest a tougher virtual battle for him ahead of the 2022 elections. But while MPLA has governed Angola since independence from Portugal in 1975, online criticism could be a new challenge to its leadership. The campaign, launched by the president’s critics, is accusing Mr Lourenço of falling to fulfill his election promises. Not all followers of the campaign are President João Lourenço critics, however. “In 2022, we will celebrate and win and we will show our strength,” wrote João Puati Massanga.
