A champion of independence for both #CaboVerde & #GuineaBissau, #Marxist revolutionary #AmílcarCabral led the struggle of the latter for freedom from the parafascist dictatorship in #Portugal. He was assassinated on #ThisDayInHistory in 1973, eight months before Portugal gave in.
#AmilcarCabral † 20. Januar 1973 „Die im Land vor unserem Kampf herrschenden politischen Verhältnisse — nationale Unterdrückung, Fehlen selbst der elementarsten Freiheiten, polizeiliche und militärische Verfolgung — haben... uns zur Auslösung des bewaffneten Befreiungskampfes gezwungen.“ #Portugal

"for us, attack is the best means of defence...

Responsible members must take life seriously, conscious of their responsibilities, thoughtful about carrying them out, and with a comradeship based on work and duty done .

Nothing of this is incompatible with the joy of living, or with love for life and its amusements, or with confidence in the future and in our work....

Reinforce political work and propaganda within the enemy's armed forces. Write posters, pamphlets, letters. Draw slogans on the roads. Establish cautious links with enemy personnel who want to contact us. Act audaciously and with great initiative in this way . . . . Do everything possible to help enemy soldiers to desert. Assure them of security so as to encourage their desertion. Carry out political work among Africans who are still in enemy service, whether civilian or military. Persuade these brothers to change direction so as to serve the Party within enemy ranks or desert with arms and ammunition to our units.

We must practice revolutionary democracy in every aspect of our Party life. Every responsible member must have the courage of his responsibilities, exacting from others a proper respect for his work and properly respecting the work of others. Hide nothing from the masses of our people. Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories . ".

These extracts were first published in English in Basil Davidson's The Liberation of Guiné, aspects of an African revolution

La marche du monde - Amilcar Cabral et Maria Helena, de l’intime au politique

50 ans après l’indépendance du Cap-Vert, La marche du monde est en reportage dans la ville de Praïa, à la recherche des lettres adressées par Amilcar Cabral, l’icône de la lutte de libération nationale, à Maria Helena Atalaide Vilhena Rodrigues, sa première compagne portugaise. Des lettres conservées avec amour par Iva, leur première fille, jusqu’à ce qu’elle décide de les publier puis de les confier à la Fondation Cabral.

Le « vent souverainiste »[1] qui souffle en Afrique de l’Ouest ne concerne pas que les pays francophones, comme on peut parfois avoir tendance à le situer géographiquement à travers le prisme linguistique. Survivance post-coloniale d’une vision du continent africain fragmenté au-delà de toute vraisemblance anthropologique, sans doute. La Guinée-Bissau, ancienne colonie portugaise, est elle aussi agitée […]
