AGP Executive Report

Last update: 23 minutes ago

Tragedy in Fogo: A bus crash on Cabo Verde’s Fogo Island killed at least 25 people, mostly children and teenagers, after the vehicle veered off a mountain road and plunged about 30 metres into a ravine; 14 others were injured, with some in critical condition, and rescue teams worked through the night in difficult terrain while authorities investigate the cause. National mourning: Cabo Verde declared two days of official mourning, with flags at half-mast and public celebrations cancelled, as Prime Minister Francisco Carvalho and President José Maria Neves travelled to Fogo and a crisis response and medical team were deployed. Condolences and solidarity: Angola’s President João Lourenço sent condolences to Cabo Verde, urging support for grieving families, as funerals and burials began on the island. Global child-marriage push: The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution—co-sponsored by Cabo Verde—declaring 27 November the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage, calling for education and protection for girls.
