The former president of Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos, has been admitted to a hospital in the Spanish city of Barcelona, Portuguese state news agency Lusa has reported.
“[Mr Dos Santos], has been hospitalised in an intensive care unit in a hospital in Barcelona, where has resided for the past few years,†Lusa said.
The report comes amid speculation about the health of the former long-serving leader of the southern African country.
In May, the 79-year-old ex-president responded to rumours about his death by slamming the “contradictory reports” about his health and pointing out that his personal doctor was the only one authorised to speak on the matter.
He served as the president of Angola from 1979 to 2017.
