AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoNational Mourning: Cabo Verde has declared two days of mourning after a bus crash on Fogo Island killed 25 people, most of them children and teenagers, with funerals underway and President José Maria Neves and Prime Minister Francisco Carvalho calling for solidarity and an investigation into the cause. Community & Education Impact: Officials say the bus was returning to São Filipe after an excursion to Chã das Caldeiras inside the Pico do Fogo crater; the trip was reportedly organized privately by the driver as an annual gift for students he transported during the school year, and rescue work was hampered by the remote, rocky ravine. Culture & Faith on the International Stage: Separately, EWTN announced it will air a docudrama on St. Peter Claver—filmed in Spain, Colombia, and Cape Verde—on Sept. 9, highlighting the saint’s ministry to African slaves in Cartagena. Youth & Rights: The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution, prepared with Cabo Verde among other partners, to mark 27 November as an International Day to eliminate child, early and forced marriage, pushing education and protections for girls.
