US Department Of State Post Report
Cape Verde provided skilled sailors and workers for the whaling ships from New England and the Netherlands. Since those ships concluded their multiyear voyages by signing off the crew at their home ports, large Cape Verdean communities came into existence in New England and Northern Europe. The first U.S. Consulate in Cape Verde was established in 1816 to protect the whaling fleet and its crews. In the 20th Century, Cape Verdeans in the United States established themselves across the continent, and are now found as far away as Hawaii. In all, there are more Cape Verdeans living outside the archipelago than within it, including an estimated 350,000 in America. Senegal and Angola each have tens of thousands of Cape Verdeans. There are emigrants in Portugal, Italy, Luxembourg, France (10-15,000) and Holland (8-10,000). There are substantial numbers in Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Sweden. These processes have given Cape Verde its internationa ... [Read More]

Prior to the 1998 rebellion, there were three independent radio stations and one government-controlled station in Bissau. In addition Radio Portugal and Radio France International broadcasts were received from Lisbon and Paris. There were also three community radio stations operated by the indigenous nongovernmental organization (NGO) Action for Development. One independent station rebroadcast the British Broadcasting Corporation and another rebroadcast the Voice of America. The government-controlled national radio continued to transmit from Radio Mavegro facilities that it took over in June 1998. The Voice of the Military Junta broadcasts from facilities that formerly broadcast Radio Bombolom, whose owner sympathized with the rebels. During the year, the independent stations Radio Pidjiguiti and Radio Mavegro resumed broadcasting; however, the NGO-assisted community stations have not resumed operations. Reportedly the government-controlled sta ... [Read More]
