Angolans have been using the hashtag #acabademematar , which translates roughly as “kill me already” to pose for pictures where they are playing dead.
Explaining the reason for the new trend, blogger Lunga Izata says the photos are in protest to a range of issues from bad roads, poor hospital conditions, the high cost of living, pollution, and unemployment to the lack of schools.
“Yesterday, while longing for news that there may be a possibility of easing the country’s economic crisis, I was saddened to hear that children have not been to school for five years,” she writes.
