        <description><![CDATA[ The intervention of Francisco Carvalho (FC) on TCV&amp;#39;s “Point by Point” program yesterday suggests the following very worrying scenario: the electoral campaign for the municipal elections in November this year for the CMP will be the most tense and, most likely, the most violent ever. In fact, yesterday&amp;#39;s interview was the opening, albeit unofficial, of the FC campaign for these elections. He knew very well how to take advantage of prime time on national TV to open hostilities. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ (...) Ilha Brava, a small paradise in the Atlantic, is home to a united and resilient community. However, over the past 30 years, the proliferation of support groups with similar goals has been more of a source of division than cooperation. From Amidjabraba, through Grupo Tradição, through Amigos da Escola da Brava to Bravenses Unidos, the lack of coordination and collaboration between these groups has hampered efforts to resolve the challenges faced by the island. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ (...) Emigration is a common phenomenon in many societies around the world, and Brava, a small island in the Cape Verde archipelago, is no exception. The people of Brave have a long history of emigration, mainly to the United States of America, in search of better opportunities in foreign lands. Many have found significant success in their ventures abroad, demonstrating a remarkable power of achievement. However, this achievement often contrasts with the apparent lack of desire to make major changes or investments on the island itself. This dichotomy between success abroad and local stagnation is a complex issue that deserves in-depth analysis. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ We insist on the idea that we must focus on what is yet to be done. There are those out there who are already starting to guess who Cape Verde&amp;#39;s opponent will be in the semi-finals, those who are already watching scenes from the final and who will win the cup, forgetting that the decisive thing is... beating South Africa , in the quarter-finals. We have to be prepared and well prepared for next Saturday&amp;#39;s match, study the opponent well, know their strengths and weaknesses, as only a good team gives Morocco two-nil, fourth in the last World Cup. ]]></description>

But until he leaves Power, he will continue, forced by gross errors in the economic planning sector, to provide guarantees that he knows perfectly well will never have any return. Instead of paying attention to domestic air transport, it wants to take a leap beyond its short legs. In the internationalization of a nano-company (which not even two wet-leasing aircraft can exploit), in a world of real sharks. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Cape Verde, an island nation off the northwest coast of Africa, is known for its rich culture, stunning landscapes and, unfortunately, persistent political challenges. Recently, a scandal came to light, putting ethics and legality in the Cape Verdean political environment into focus. The center of this controversy involves the First Lady, whose salary appears to be received illegally and immorally. However, it is crucial to highlight that this issue transcends the individual sphere and affects multiple parties, highlighting the urgency of a collective reflection on morality and legality in Cape Verdean politics. ]]></description>

That there will be preliminary contacts for the possible acquisition, in leasing, of a Boeing princess! A 787 “Dreamliner”! ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Brava Island, located in the Cape Verde archipelago, is known for its natural beauty and rich culture, but it also faces significant challenges such as a lack of resources and opportunities. A problem that has perpetuated these challenges is the lack of unity among Brazilians emigrated from the four corners of the world, which often manifests itself in the dispersion of resources, time and effort in a myriad of small groups and initiatives. This dispersion of resources has limited the effectiveness of the actions undertaken to transform the island. This article explores the impacts of this fragmentation and argues that consolidating efforts could generate more significant results. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ - Today, September 23, 2015, 44 years later, I couldn&amp;#39;t help but remember September 23, 1979. On Brava Island, a bitter, sad, violent political event, which certainly left its mark on the time that followed. I have thought that we can and should forgive, but we cannot forget. Even for reasons that have to do with learning values, principles, with the relevance that we should give to deep feelings, such as gratitude towards others and with time itself that passes, perhaps too quickly, through our memory, through our our bodies, for our soul, for our pain. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Small communities possess a unique ability to forge close bonds and build a life that is intrinsically tied to their traditions. Nossa Senhora do Monte, a locality that was once a living example of this cohesion, experienced a golden era where services were plentiful and life was vibrant. When recalling this bygone era, where postal services, banks, commerce, municipal agency, conspicuous policing, and even a health post were part of the routine, we can feel a mixture of nostalgia and regret for the losses this community faced. ]]></description>

Nossa Senhora do Monte, a locality that was once a living example of this cohesion, experienced a golden age where services were plentiful and life vibrant.

        <description><![CDATA[ the systemic and chronic landlocking….Isla Brava, a hidden treasure in the Cape Verdean archipelago, has been fighting for a long time against an invisible but powerful adversary: the lack of an adequate transport system. The inability to establish reliable sea and air transport connections has resulted in a detrimental isolation for the island. In addition, this lack contributes to the constant loss of population, economic gridlock and a noticeable delay in relation to other islands in the country. This article explores the many ramifications of this problem and the complexities surrounding the issue of transportation on Ilha Brava. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ See, today, August 2, 2023, two scandals in the agency: (i) the announcement of the flight of young Cape Verdean pilgrims from WYD, in Lisbon and (ii) the expulsion of the former President of the AN and former Ombudsman, Engineer Espírito Santo, from the Panel of Analysts of the Jornal de Domingo Programme. Instead of the Government treating them with the Sense of State and responsibility that is expected, two clown rulers appear, in the circus that has become the country&amp;#39;s governance, distorting reality and treating us as useful idiots. These positions are sad and ridiculous, inasmuch as they shame decent citizens and cause them to be seen through the prism of these mediocre rulers who act “Sem djobi pa ladu pamodi és katá djobi spedju”. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ In recent days there has been some controversy over the TACV/CVA air connections between S. Vicente and Lisbon (with a weekly connection), at a time when the operator has rented a second aircraft. About TAP, which has a daily connection on the same LIS-VXE route, there is nothing to say in operational terms. What happens then? There are no night flights because the runway is not lit (as some people at TACV, in the media and on social media suggest) or are there planning problems with the carrier? ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Cape Verde, an archipelago of natural and cultural beauty, faces significant challenges in developing infrastructure to improve mobility and access to essential services. The asphalting of roads is a crucial measure to boost economic growth, improve the quality of life of local communities and promote tourism. However, prioritizing certain roads over others can generate inequalities and discontent among populations. This opinion article will discuss the issue of not paving the Estrada de Nossa Senhora do Monte on Ilha Brava, reflecting on its possible consequences for the island and Cape Verdean society as a whole. ]]></description>
