AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoFogo Island Tragedy: Cabo Verde has declared two days of national mourning after a bus crash killed 25 people, most of them children and teenagers, with 32 on board when the vehicle veered off a mountain road and plunged about 30 metres into a ravine; funerals began with 18 victims, while others were buried earlier, and President José Maria Neves attended services and ordered an inquiry as emergency crews worked through the night and 12 people were still in hospital (two in serious condition). National Response: The government says flags will fly at half-mast, public celebrations and performances will be canceled, and a crisis response team plus a 16-member medical team has been sent to Fogo, with possible patient evacuations being discussed. Culture & Community: The crash is tied to an annual excursion arranged by the bus driver as a gift for pupils he transports during term time, underscoring how local routines and youth education trips can become community-wide moments of grief. Global Migration Watch: Separate from the tragedy, the US has published DV-2026 Diversity Visa selectee figures, listing Cabo Verde among African countries with registered prospective applicants and reminding applicants they must complete processing by Sept. 30, 2026.
