AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoFogo Island Tragedy: Cabo Verde is in shock after a bus crash on Fogo killed at least 25 people, most of them children and teenagers, when the vehicle veered off a mountain road and plunged about 30 metres into a ravine while returning from an excursion to Chã das Caldeiras inside the Pico do Fogo crater. National Mourning: The government has declared two days of mourning, with flags at half-mast and public events canceled, as families hold funerals and President José Maria Neves and Prime Minister Francisco Carvalho visit the island. Rescue & Aftermath: Emergency crews worked through the night in difficult terrain; seven victims were buried early, while others were laid to rest later. Investigation & Education Context: Officials say the trip was not a school-organized outing but an annual trip privately arranged by the bus driver, who was among the dead, and Neves has ordered an inquiry into the cause. Regional Links: Nigeria and Cabo Verde also discussed deeper cooperation on air connectivity, migration, tourism and AfCFTA during talks in Angola.
