Angola's Immigration Crackdown, Legal Reforms, and Special Olympics Partnerships

Angola has expelled over 36,000 illegal immigrants, mainly Congolese, as part of 'Operation Connection,' aimed at combating irregular migration, human trafficking, diamond smuggling, and fuel contraband. The government emphasizes the need for better border control and adherence to legal procedures, while civil society highlights concerns about human rights and corruption in expulsions. Notably, the Angolan Constitutional Court declared several provisions of the anti-vandalism law unconstitutional, citing violations of proportionality, legality, and fundamental rights such as freedom of assembly and protest. Meanwhile, in the realm of social development, Special Olympics Angola has rapidly expanded since 2022, nearly doubling its athletes to 1,363 and forming a partnership with Manchester City and Midea. This initiative aims to foster inclusive communities through football-based education, leadership development, and resource access, impacting over 3,000 youth across Angola. The partnership also involves training teachers for inclusive practices and participating in global events like the Unified 3x3 Basketball World Cup, with aspirations to host future international competitions.
