Cape Verde is no longer Governed

Let’s stop pretending Cape Verde is actually independent.

At this point, the region has become nothing more than a strategic outpost fought over by foreign powers and external interests.

Spanish influence dominates political decisions. Venezuelan-backed networks continue expanding economically and strategically. Meanwhile, local political activity is nearly nonexistent, and real representation has been replaced with outside control.

The biggest joke?

A region with barely any active political participation is somehow being “managed” by people whose priorities clearly lie elsewhere.

Instead of building a competitive and active region:

- decisions happen behind closed doors,

- influence is traded privately,

- and power is maintained through foreign backing rather than actual local engagement.

Cape Verde had the potential to become an active strategic hub.

Instead, it became a quiet colony for external agendas.

And people are starting to notice.

“Ask for whatever you want and I will do what I can in exchange for you withdrawing from the congressional elections”

, Said one of them to me and to my friend.

The problem is no longer ideology.

The problem is control.

Maybe it’s finally time for a new direction.
