The '''Republic of Cape Verde''' ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]: ''Cabo Verde'', {{IPA2|'kabu 'veɾdɨ}}), is a [[republic]] located on an [[archipelago]] in the [[Macaronesia]] [[ecoregion]] of the North [[Atlantic Ocean]], off the western coast of [[Africa]]. The previously [[Desert island|uninhabited island]]s were discovered and [[Colony|colonized]] by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] in the [[15th century|fifteenth century]] (though there may have been [[History of Cape Verde#Early records|earlier discoveries]]), and attained [[independence]] in 1975.
== Naming ==
Cape Verde is named after the original Portuguese form for [[Cap Vert]] (''Cabo Verde'', Green Cape) in [[Senegal]], the westernmost point of continental Africa. The country's name can be pronounced many ways in English. ''Cape'' is pronounced like the article of clothing. ''Verde'' is generally pronounced to rhyme with "bird" or "Herd," though rhyming with "bear D" or "bear day" are also heard. "Cabo" is not used in English.
== History ==
{{main|History of Cape Verde}}
Cape Verde was uninhabited when the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] arrived in 1460 and made the islands part of the [[Portuguese empire]]. Due to its location off the coast of [[Africa]], Cape Verde became an important watering station, then [[sugar cane]] [[plantation]] site, and later a major hub of the trans-atlantic slave trade, that would later form the contemporary African [[Diaspora]].
In 1975, Cape Verde achieved independence from Portugal after the PAIGC long armed struggle in the jungles of neighboring [[Guinea-Bissau]]. Although there was no armed struggle in Cape-Verde, some cape-verdeans (number not known but likely to be some hundreds) who fought in Guinea Bissau asked for independence of Cape Verde. The African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde ([[Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde|PAIGC]]) was the main entity responsible for the independence of Cape Verde. Moreover, the people's revolutionary armed forces of Cuba,composed of less than 50 guerrilleros, too, played a role in the Cape Verdean independence armed struggle in Guinea-Bissau. In 1974, the PAIGC refused to hold a referendum (proposed by Portugal) to ask whether the Capeverdeans wanted to stay part of Portugal or to become an independent state. After independence, the PAIGC attempted to unite Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau into one nation, the PAIGC controlling both governments, but a coup in the latter nation in 1980 ended these plans. As a result, the G, standing for Guinea-Bissau, in PAIGC was dropped. Consequently, PAICV (African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde) was formed. In Cape Verde the [[African Party for the Independence of Cape Verde|PAICV]] (affiliated with the PAIGC) governed until democratic elections, held in 1991, resulted in a change of government. The [[Movement for Democracy (Cape Verde)|Movimento para a Democracia]] (MPD) won that election. The MPD was re-elected in 1996. The PAICV returned to power in 2001, and was re-elected in 2006.
== Politics ==
[[Image:CaboVerde128463.jpeg|thumb|left|Current president of Cape Verde, [[Pedro Pires]], meeting with [[Brazil]]ian president [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva|Lula da Silva]].]]
{{main|Politics of Cape Verde}}
Politics of Cape Verde takes place in a framework of a [[parliamentary system|parliamentary]] [[representative democracy|representative democratic]] [[republic]], whereby the [[Prime Minister of Cape Verde]] is the [[head of government]], and of a [[multi-party system]]. [[Executive power]] is held by the government. [[Legislative power]] is vested in both the [[government]] and the [[National Assembly of Cape Verde|National Assembly]]. The [[Judiciary]] is independent of the executive and the legislature.
Cape Verde has a ''Special Partnership'' status <ref>Percival, Debra, [http://www.acp-eucourier.info/Newsview.79.0.html?&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=507&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=6&cHash=6032424471 "Cape Verde-EU ‘Special Partnership’ takes shape"], [[Courier (disambiguation)|The Courier]]'', [[Commission of the European Communities]] publication, May 25, 2008</ref> with the [[EU]] and might apply for membership<ref>[http://www.eubusiness.com/Portugal/050507114923.9ivv9852/ Cape Verde could seek EU membership this year]</ref>.
== Municipalities and parishes ==
{{main|Administrative divisions of Cape Verde}}
Cape Verde is divided into 22 [[municipalities]] (''concelhos''), and subdivided into 32 parishes (''freguesias'').
== Geography ==
{{main|Geography of Cape Verde}}
[[Image:Topographic map of Cape Verde-en.svg|350px|right]]
[[Image:Satellite image of Cape Verde in December 2002.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Cape Verde satellite image]]
Cape Verde is an [[archipelago]] off the west coast of Africa at 15.02N, 23.34W. It is formed by 10 main islands and about 8 islets. The main islands are:
* [[Barlavento]] (northern island group)
** [[Santo Antão]]
** [[São Vicente, Cape Verde|São Vicente]]
** [[Santa Luzia, Cape Verde|Santa Luzia]]
** [[São Nicolau]]
** [[Sal, Cape Verde|Sal]]
** [[Boa Vista, Cape Verde|Boa Vista]]
* [[Sotavento]] (southern island group)
** [[Maio]]
** [[Santiago, Cape Verde|Santiago]]
** [[Fogo, Cape Verde|Fogo]]
** [[Brava, Cape Verde|Brava]]
Of these, only Santa Luzia and the five islets are uninhabited. Presently it is a natural reserve. All islands are volcanic, but an active volcano only exists on one of the islands, Fogo (see [[Mount Fogo]]).
=== Environment ===
The isolation of Cape Verde about {{convert|500|km|mi|-1||abbr=on}} from the African mainland has resulted in the islands having a large number of [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] [[species]], many of which are [[endangered species|endangered]] by human development. Endemic [[bird]]s include [[Alexander's Swift]] (''Apus alexandri''), [[Raso Lark]] (''Alauda razae''), [[Cape Verde Warbler]] (''Acrocephalus brevipennis''), and [[Iago Sparrow]] (''Passer iagoensis''),<ref>[http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/ebas/index.html?action=EbaHTMDetails.asp&sid=79&m=0 Endemic Bird Areas: Cape Verde Islands]</ref> and [[reptile]]s include the [[Cape Verde Giant Gecko]] (''Tarentola gigas'').
[[Charles Darwin]] gives a vivid description of the geology, climate, zoology and botany of the islands in the first chapter of his book ''[[The Voyage of the Beagle]]''.
=== Climate ===
Cape Verde is in the tropical zone. Average temperatures range from 24 °C (75 °F) in January and February to 29 °C (85 °F) in September. The average annual rainfall for Cape Verde is {{convert|68.4|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, with September being the wettest month with {{convert|33.6|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. Conversely, the months April to July record less than one millimetre of rainfall each. The climate is arid, but Cape Verde's position in the Atlantic contributes to soften the aridity, that otherwise would be the same aridity as that in continental areas.
== Economy ==
[[Image:Cape Verde - 1992 1000CVE note - back.jpg|thumb|1000 [[Cape Verdean escudo|CVE]] bank note issued in 1992]]
{{main|Economy of Cape Verde}}
Cape Verde is a small nation that lacks resources and has experienced severe droughts. Agriculture is made difficult by lack of rain and is restricted to only four islands for most of the year. Most of the nation's GDP comes from the service industry. Cape Verde's economy has grown since the late 1990s, and it is now considered a country of average development. Cape Verde has significant cooperation with Portugal at every level of the economy, which has led it to link its currency first to the [[Portuguese escudo]] and, in 1999, to the [[euro]].
Former Portuguese prime minister [[José Manuel Durão Barroso]], former (second semester 2004) president of the European Commission, has promised to help integrate Cape Verde within the European Union sphere of influence via greater cooperation with Portugal. In March 2005, former Portuguese president [[Mário Soares]] launched a petition urging the [[European Union]] to start membership talks with Cape Verde.
In 2007 the [[United Nations]] graduated Cape Verde from the category of [[Least Developed Countries]], only the second time this has happened to a country.<ref>[http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=22918&Cr=cape&Cr1=verde "UN advocate salutes Cape Verde’s graduation from category of poorest States"], UN News Centre, 14 June 2007.</ref>
Cape Verde has been on the list of the United Nations [[Small Island Developing States]], and is considered a [[Developing countries#Africa|Developing country]] in economic terms.
On [[18 December]][[2007]], the General Council of the [[World Trade Organization]] approved a package for the accession of Cape Verde to the WTO. Accession will be effective 30 days after ratification by Cape Verde, which took place on 23 June 2008<ref>[http://www.wto.org/english/news_e/news08_e/acc_capverde_june08_e.htm "Cape Verde to join WTO on 23 July 2008"], WTO: 2008 NEWS ITEMS, 4 July, 2008.</ref>. The package requires Cape Verde to adapt some of its economic regulation. In particular, it will need to introduce a new Customs Code, and to introduce [[copyright]] and [[patent]] laws complying with the [[Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights]].<ref>[http://www.wto.org/english/news_e/pres07_e/pr503_e.htm WTO press release on Cape Verde's accession]</ref><ref>[http://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/acc_e/capeverde_other_e.htm ''Cape Verde's other accession commitments: Besides Market access for goods and services''], WTO, 18 December 2007. "Intellectual property: Cape Verde would apply the [[Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights|TRIPS]] agreement by January 2013. In light of the [[Doha Declaration]] on TRIPS and Public Health, the provisions related to the scope and use of patents and the protection of undisclosed information would be implemented by January 2016."</ref> According to the [[World Intellectual Property Organization]] (WIPO), Cape Verde does not have legislation for industrial property, such as patents, trademarks, and industrial designs but does have a law on copyrights (Law No. 101/III/90, December 1990).<ref>WIPO, [http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/ipworldwide/pdf/cv.pdf Legislative Profile of Cape Verde Intellectual Property Laws]</ref>
On June 23, 2008 Cape Verde became the 153rd member of the WTO.<ref>{{cite web

== Demographics ==
[[Image:Gossiping.jpg|thumb|Local people from Santiago island]]
[[Image:Pyramide Cap-Vert.PNG|thumb|Population pyramid, 2005]]
{{main|Demographics of Cape Verde}}
Most inhabitants of Cape Verde are a genetic blend of Sub-Saharan Africans and Europeans, the Africans having been slaves and hailing mostly from Senegal, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. Cape Verdeans' European ancestors include Portuguese settlers and exiles, Portuguese Jews who were victims of the [[Inquisition]], and [[Spanish people|Spanish]] and [[Italian people|Italian]] seamen who were granted land by the [[Portuguese Empire]]. Many foreigners from other parts of the world settled Cape Verde as their permanent country. Most of them were [[Dutch people|Dutch]], [[French people|French]], [[United Kingdom|British]], [[Arab]]s and [[Jews]] (from [[Lebanon]] and [[Morocco]]), [[Han Chinese|Chinese]] (especially from [[Macau]]), [[United States|Americans]], and [[Brazilians]] (including people of [[Portuguese-Brazilian|Portuguese]] and [[Afro-Brazilian|African]] descent) settlers. All of these have been absorbed into the general Cape Verdean population.
The majority of the population adheres to [[Christianity]], mostly [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholicism]] which constitutes some 90% of the population (in many areas Catholicism and [[African traditional religion|traditional African religions]] are [[syncretism|syncretised]]). The remaining includes a sizeable [[Protestant]] community as well as a small number of [[Bahá'í Faith|Bahá'í]] and [[Buddhist]] and even smaller [[Muslim]] groups.<ref>[http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Africa/Cape-Verde-RELIGIONS.html Cape Verde - Religion]</ref>
Cape Verde has been steadily developing<ref>[http://hdrstats.undp.org/countries/country_fact_sheets/hdi-trends/cpv_2.gif Cape Verde HDI Trend] from the [[2007 Human Development Report]] [http://hdrstats.undp.org/countries/country_fact_sheets/cty_fs_CPV.html country fact sheet]</ref> since its independence, and besides having been promoted to the group of "medium development" countries in 2007, leaving the [[Least Developed Countries]] category (which is only the second time it has happened to a country<ref>[http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=22918&Cr=cape&Cr1=verde "UN advocate salutes Cape Verde’s graduation from category of poorest States"], UN News Centre, [[14 June]] [[2007]].</ref>), is currently the [[List of countries by Human Development Index#Africa|5th best ranked]] country in Africa in terms of [[Human Development Index]].
=== Cape Verdean diaspora ===
{{main|Cape Verdean diaspora}}
The Cape Verdean diaspora refers to both historical and present emigration from Cape Verde. Today, more Cape Verdeans live abroad than in Cape Verde itself, with significant emigrant Cape Verdean communities in the [[United States]] (500,000 Cape Verdeans, with a major concentration on the New England coast from Providence, R.I., to New Bedford, Mass.), [[Portugal]] (80,000) and [[Angola]] (45,000). There is also a significant number of Cape Verdeans in [[São Tomé and Príncipe]], [[Senegal]], [[France]], [[Brazil]], [[Luxembourg]] and the [[Netherlands]]. Cape Verdean populations also settled in [[Spain]], [[Germany]], and other [[Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries|CPLP countries]] such as [[Guinea-Bissau]].
== Culture ==
{{main|Culture of Cape Verde}}
The culture of Cape Verde reflects its mixed African and Portuguese roots. It is well known for its diverse forms of music such as ''[[Morna (music)|Morna]]'' and a wide variety of dances: the soft dance ''Morna'', and its modernized version, ''passada'', the ''[[Funaná]]'' - a sensual mixed Portuguese and African dance, the extreme sensuality of ''[[coladeira]]'', and the ''[[Batuque (music)|Batuque]]'' dance. These are reflective of the diverse origins of Cape Verde's residents. The term "Criolo" is used to refer to residents as well as the culture of Cape Verde.
=== Cape Verdean literature ===
[[Image:ETavares3a3.jpg|thumb|Eugénio Tavares is one of the most well-known poets of the Cape Verdean literature]]

=== Music === <!--This section is linked from [[Cape_Verde#Famous People of Cape Verdean descent]] -->
[[Image:Morna group.jpg|thumb|A group playing [[morna (music)|morna]].]]
{{main|Music of Cape Verde}}
Cape Verde is known internationally for ''[[morna (music)|morna]]'', a form of [[folk music]] usually sung in the [[Cape Verdean Creole]], accompanied by [[clarinet]], [[violin]], [[guitar]] and [[cavaquinho]]. The islands also boast ''[[funaná]]'' and ''[[batuque (music)|batuque]]'' music.
[[Cesária Évora]] is perhaps the best internationally-known practitioner of [[morna]]. Madonna is so inspired by her that she even purchased a house on the island of Sal.{{Fact|date=May 2008}}
== Language ==
{{main|Cape Verdean Creole}}
Cape Verde's official language is Portuguese. It is the language of instruction and official acts. However, the [[Cape Verdean Creole]] is used colloquially and is the mother tongue of virtually all Cape Verdeans. Cape Verdean Creole or Kriolu is a dialect continuum of a Portuguese-based [[creole language|creole]], which varies from island to island.
There is a substantial body of literature in Creole, especially in the [[Santiago Creole]] and the [[São Vicente Creole]]. Creole has been gaining prestige since the nation's independence from Portugal.
However, the differences between the varied forms of the language within the islands have been a major obstacle in the way of standardization of the language. Some people have advocated the development of two standards: a North (Barlavento) standard, centered on the São Vicente Creole, and a South (Sotavento) standard, centered on the Santiago Creole. Manuel Veiga, PhD, a linguist by training, and Minister of Culture of Cape Verde, is the premier proponent of Kriolu's officialization and standardization.
== Transportation ==
[[Image:Sao pedro airport.jpg|thumb|São Pedro airport in São Vicente island]]
{{seemain|Transportation in Cape Verde}}
[[TACV Cabo Verde Airlines]] is a scheduled and charter, passenger and cargo [[airline]] based in [[Cape Verde]]. It is the national [[flag carrier]] of Cape Verde, operating an inter-island service and flights to [[Europe]], [[North America]], [[South America]] and the [[West Africa]]n mainland. Its main base is [[Sal Airport]] (SID), with a hub at [[Praia Airport]] (RAI).
