Angola's parliament has adopted a law on false information online, raising concerns among civil society groups, per Civicus Monitor.

The legislation is seen as a tool to intimidate journalists through criminal defamation charges, according to the same report.

Meanwhile, Angola plans to cut fuel subsidies without raising prices, Bloomberg reports, as the country seeks economic reform.
