CIA - The World Factbook -- Field Listing - Economy - overview Cape Verde annually runs a high trade deficit, financed by foreign aid and remittances from emigrants; remittances supplement GDP by more than 20%. During the early 1990s, Chile's reputation as a role model for economic reform was strengthened when the democratic government of Patricio AYLWIN - which took over from the military in 1990 - deepened the economic reform initiated by the military government. The government's economic policy and democratic security strategy have engendered a growing sense of confidence in the economy, particularly within the business sector. www.phatnav.com /factbook/fields/2116.html   (16465 words)

afrol News - Cape Verde to grant asylum to Guinea-Bissau officers Several of the officials targeted by the military uprising that resulted in the death of General Seabra are of Cape Verdean descent, albeit remote in most cases. This is the case of Melcíades Fernandes, cousin of Cape Verde's opposition MpD party's National Assembly deputy Mário Fernandes from Tarrafal on Santiago Island.

Encyclopedia: Mozambique In Mozambique, the military decision to withdraw occurred within the context of a decade of armed anti-colonial struggle, initially led by American-educated Eduardo Mondlane, who was assassinated in 1969. When independence was achieved in 1975, the leaders of FRELIMO's military campaign rapidly established a one-party state allied to the Soviet bloc and outlawed rival political activity. The drive for Mozambican independence developed apace, and in 1962 several anti-colonial political groups formed the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO), which initiated an armed campaign against Portuguese colonial rule in September 1964. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Mozambique   (185 words)

Cape Verde As on the flag, the stars represent the main islands of Cape Verde; the plumb-bob is symbolic of rectitude and virtue; the torch and triangle represent unity and freedom. The Constitution of the Republic of Cabo Verde (Green Cape Islands), adopted in 1992, defines the new flag, very different from the previous (wich was similar to the Bissau-Guinea flag, for historical reasons), and said by some to be very “unafrican”. Prior to 1992, the similarity between the two nations’ flags was explained by the fact that both were derived from the flag of the Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde (P.A.I.G.C.), the liberation movement which succeeded in gaining independence for both countries (Guinea-Bissau in 1974, Cape Verde in 1975). flagspot.net /flags/cv.html   (735 words)

Cape Verde has acted as an observer at the annual meetings of the Francophone African states since 1977, but is now set to become a full-member of the Francophonie and will thus benefit in future from stronger ties with both France and her ex-colonies.
