  1. Very good video. Thank you for putting it together, however, a few misleading information here about Cabo Verde.

    Please look up the work of Cheich Anta Diop, the empire of Mali and its' territory and mainly the expedition that lead to the real discovery of Cabo Verde.

    When Cabo Verde was so called "discovered" by Portuguese in 1461, the archipelago was already inhabited by Moors and Fishermen from the empire of Mali. Look into the first European neighborhood built in Ribeira Grande and the purpose of the European representatives. Prior to Slavery in the 1600, Europeans (French, Dutch, Portuguese, English and Italians, used Cabo Verde as a port of trade and resupply for their ships enroute to India. There was no such thing as Slavery at that time. Slavery started in the 1600s over 150 after European interactions with the natives.

    Keep in mind that the European version of African history was crafted to satisfy ship expeditions, share holders and investors at the time, so the story had to be appealing to solicit more funding. Also, with the genocide of natives came the systematic whitening of Cape Verdean history to subdue its population. Learn about the Mandiaku, Badius and the origins of the language called "Criolu" to understand the extend of where we came from.

  2. Very good, only something extremely important was missing, the opening to democracy in 1991 and today it is the most democratic country in Africa and one of the most democratic in the world. In April we have elections for the government.
