Cape Verde’s government says more people are immigrating to the small island nation than those leaving it.
Political stability is appealing to African migrants and members of the diaspora who are choosing to return.
Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports form Mindelo on the island of Sao Vicente in Cape Verde.

The only peaceful practical religion in the world is holy Islam. *happy ramadan*
@TheAlmightyClipse , *’Believers fight for the cause of Allah, while disbelievers do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil’ (Surah IV, verse 76). ‘Fight against them until idolatry is no more’ (II, 193). ‘Idolatry is worse than carnage’ (II, 217)* happy ramadan
Ramadhan Kareem,from Kenya.The most beautiful religion.
Stop bringing religion into serious issues, those killing and others we know who they are.
@kenduzouir adeniyi , only this religion can bring peace. don’t behave like a pagan now
@dlanod pmurt top deceiving yourself what peace are you talking about? by killing bombing and kidnapping innocent children?
What time is it where you are?
Are 11:40am
cape verde isn’t African. before the portugese came the islands were uninhabited, Europeans were the first people there, I suppose its African in that its in the continent but its not like it’s the native ground of black people
Bro, I’m Cape Verdean, if you want I can give you the entire history and theories about humans in Cape Verde before Diogo Afonso, Diogo Gomes and Antonio di Noli got here.
on YouTube you’ll always find dumb people with their comments. lol
You meant cape was not an island in Africa before the Portuguese arrived? So they brought the island from Europe right? By the way who’s an African? Must you be black to be african? So it means Moroccans and some light skin North African are not africans, is that what you mean? Okay to you, who’s an African?
You’re aware that not all africans are black, right??🤦🏾♀️
The same way asians can be east asian, indian, etc…
What?!?! The island is located in africa, therefore is african!
looks expensive… but let’s hope blacks will move there and not to EU.
@DECOLONIZED AFRICAN MELANIN MEDICINE envy was once considered to be one of the seven deadly sins, before It became one of the most admired virtues under its new name….social justice!!!
@Mkenya How? They should not come to Europe, learn from the past.
Please don’t say anything bad about people.
@Lawal Abiodun Mikhail True
@Mkenya yes
Never dislike this video.
I just did
Of course because some people who do the bad things that this video is not terrible.
don’t broadcast it too loud, unless you want a regime change.
History books are wide open. You can write any story you want. As the ‘greatest historians’ are currently stuck in living their written ‘history’, Africans must take this opportunity and now write their own stories.
Well said.
Hopefully more people move back and develop the country
Kind of weird to single out a certain race and people. Imagine if a European country expressed these messages. They’ve be slammed and witch hunted in the media.
@clement Asampana To white people everyone already knows this what’s your point?
@The legend of Timbuktu before the arrival of Europeans, who were they selling their slaves to?
@clement Asampana Arabs or other tribes. What’s your point I don’t get it?
@The legend of Timbuktu my point is that, the transatlantic slave trade was solely orchestrated by the Europeans, without demand there will never be supply… I’m always appalled when people try to twist fact to favour their narrative.. Yes there are some africans who are involved in capturing other africans into slavery, my question is, who instigated them to start that act? Your guess is good as mine. When they invented machines for industria and farming, they realize that owning of slaves was quite expensive than having a machine, so they abolish slavery and when they did that, the transatlantic slave trade came to a halt because when demand decreases it definitely affect supply.
@clement Asampana yeah I’m not even disagreeing with you at ALL. I completely with what you’re saying, but we need to rebuild Africa using all the African diaspora. Once Africa is rich and powerful, ALL black people will have a place they will never have to worry about being discriminated for the colour of their skin
Any Wode Maya fans here 😅?
I 😂
Yes
Yeah I’m
Yes I’m here, Wode Maya the legend.
😊
Great News
Cape Verde is very beatiful, it just needs infrastructure
Amazing! The video yesterday said cape Verde was suffering extreme drought and now its Sunday morning and the drought is in the past 🙂 Must be climate change.
😅😅😅 Yeah, it must be climate change literally
Love islanders, truly happy people.
Is not a poor country anymore? 😱🙈😑
Per capital, it’s not poor but economy is not strong,it has potential though
They should remove that white president. White people cannot hold political post in Africa.
All BLM folks can go back to africa.
We love and support you Cape Verde. AFRICA UNITE…….
Africa is the powerhouse of the future…Love from India
Cool….what part of india are you?
Truth in advertising
Thank you from San Francisco
@kayode Kareem I am Bengali lol…But I meant that literally you guys have a young population, Africa is rich with resources especially the DRC, only a matter of time before you guys become powerful…Also Africa is gigantic in Size. So what I said wasn’t an understatement.

Wonderful story
I support this movement
It’s wonderful that black African countries are encouraging the diaspora to return home to build a brighter future
Amber Rose is of Cape Verdean descent. If there are more women that look like her there, I’d visit. Probably not though.
@krnpowr this dude thinking average looking Amber is prettier than Capeverdian girls just shows you’ve never been to Cape Verde
@krnpowr fool!! Get out of here!
They have beautiful ladies in Cape verde , I’m one of them
@John Doe Do You think I’m pretty?. I’m cape verdean.
@Ines Flores just by being cape verdean i bet you are. What city you from?
Cape Verde is really it’s own unique thing, being both African and European. Everything from culture to genetics, Cape Verde is Kriolo.
Euro what? Please don’t start, that’s an African country.
@clement Asampana Start what? I think I know what my people are. I’m of the DaCruz family of Santo Antao and Boa Vista. Those are 2 islands that make up Cape Verde for those who don’t have any connection to the islands. The people are a mixture of African and European. The country isn’t actually on the mainland. The Canary Islands are closer to the African coast, but yet are somehow considered Spain. The culture is a mixture, and the island was uninhabited until the Portuguese found it. You would have a point if I had said Cape Verde is European, but I said it is its own thing. It’s neither African or European, but a combination of the two.
sabura en nha terra cabo verde.
Many governments pass laws to fight racism and other forms of prejudice. Nevertheless, prejudice continues. Why? Because those laws only address a person’s actions. They cannot control a person’s thoughts and feelings. And prejudice starts in a person’s mind and heart. Is the fight against prejudice, then, a losing battle? Does a cure for prejudice exist
wellcome back home
Who is cape verdian here let’s be friends
Wassup
I am ok and you
@John Doe hello
I don’t think the government has good plans for us, so I think the side fuss and investment should help
Believe me he’s the best when it comes to Crypto currency trading your profits is assured
I started trading with expect solomon a year ago with 1000 usd trust me have been making cool profits from cryptocurrency investment with his trading signals
These numbers are similar to the US, but I am in Australia, how do I get paid directly into my bank account here. Do you think he can send profits directly to my account here?
Yes, he can send your profits directly to your account via any e-wallet with no additional fees.
Expert Solomon Wilson has really made a good name for him self how do I get involved with him?
A glass house over a floating platform — Unstable greenhouse, not a nice house to live in humid tropical climate of a island nation. How is it good architecture??
More Cape Verdeans in Boston than on the island
Me alegro mucho por los Caboverdianos que habían desarrollado su país al futuro.
Saludos desde filipinas
WHY IN THE SHAPE OF A TRIANGLE?? VERY SUSPECT!!!
Where’s Wode Maya
All the moroccan diaspora in Europe think to return to Morocco one day
Arents cape verdeans mostly white/euro from their fathers side? Their not african…
@Hassan Jamal are you in anyway related to us? I’m cape verdian, and almost everybody in our islands are west africans, majority mixed but still have west african trait and culture. There’s no one on this island who’s an Arab, so why are you obsessed with us?
@clement Asampana i never meant to insult your people or cause offense. I’m just saying, many cape verdeans have ancestors from Europe, and their blood is from Europe. How can they be the same as other Africans who share the same ancestor, same blood yet still fight and can’t be united…
@Hassan Jamal oh nice, I guess there’s peace in the following countries, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, and iraq. In fact these are the most peaceful countries in the world 🤣😂 The people in those countries are civilized and are well behaved, oh your people are the best!!
@Hassan Jamal twerp! Are you happy? You must be happy because your people are United, no war, in fact there’s no hunger in Yemen 😂oh that’s nice, civilized Arabs 🤣😜
@Hassan Jamal they’re west African and mixed…what next you wanna know? Joker. You must be somali
How can I move there
We should not continue to accept the treatment we get in America and the West. It’s time for us to bring our talents back to Africa and build our continent country by county. Cape Verde looks wonderful
Amen
Cool but are you willing to accept the low pay and poor safety environment , with little treatment for diseases , lack of infrastructure and roads . Then sure be sure to head back to africa.
blessss
Sweet!
@Al jazeera English Love the coverage. But the realitty for those living here in the islands is completely other. What about corruption in the political and justice system? What about poverty. What about a tourism that only favour big sharks?? Please dont show only the tiny good side of the story. There is much more suffering behind these such nice scenes. So please be reasonable on broadcasting news.
my country 🇨🇻♥️
Nice to hear good news from Cape Verd Island (my country) and Africa in general.😁❤️.
Rigid and buoyant
Cape Verde is beautiful, her people and food people always happy , music from cape verde is beautiful, beaches, mountains, faunas. No stress in Cabo Verde.
