Profile
Correio Angolense is an Angolan news outlet that provides news coverage to audiences within the country. The organisation reports on current events, including political, economic and social developments, aiming to keep the public informed. Its work includes investigative journalism that examines issues such as governance and public finance. By delivering timely information, it contributes to public debate and transparency. The outlet’s reporting is accessible through its online platform, allowing readers to access articles via the internet.
The outlet gained attention in September 2020 when it suffered a distributed denial‑of‑service attack that rendered its website inaccessible after it published stories alleging embezzlement by a senior government official. Simultaneously, the journalist responsible for the reporting faced separate cyber‑aggression, indicating a coordinated effort to suppress the coverage. These incidents highlighted the organisation’s role in reporting on corruption claims involving offshore fund transfers and luxury property acquisitions linked to the official. The attacks occurred amid a broader national anti‑corruption campaign that had already led to legal actions against other prominent figures. Despite the disruption, the outlet continued to pursue its mission of delivering news to the Angolan public.
