Angola

Why Facebook Planning is a Bad Idea

In Angola, their were movements to eject the 32 year President Jose Eduardo dos Santos from office. These included a facebook page calling for Angolans to take to the streets and march, and various online remarks from Angolans. The Angolan government responded by arresting 12 people, including an Angolan rapper.

The Angolan government responded in the only feasible way possible. If they had not squashed the budding rebellion in as quick a way as possible, it could have gotten its legs and turned into a Egypt situation.
