The Cape Verde Forum is an online, open forum for the discussion of topics related to the Republic of Cape Verde and to the world wide Capeverdean community. The forum intends to deepen, advance and refine the exploration and articulation of issues related to Cape Verde and the worldwide Cape Verdean community, in all areas and aspects, including the political, the economic, the cultural, the scientific/technological, and the psychological. These discussions are in English, not Portuguese. Our intent is not to conflict with or preempt any other domains of discussion and discourse, but to support and contribute to the overall expression and exchange of ideas and information.
