On January 20, 1973, one of Africa’s foremost anti-colonial leaders: Amílcar Cabral was assassinated in Conakry, Guinea at the age of 48 by political rivals, allegedly supported by the Portuguese colonial government.
Cabral not only led the war of independence that toppled Portuguese rule in Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde but influenced the fight for decolonization across the continent of Africa….

Thank you brother, we need this. Your playing a crucial role in the development of African thought and history, don't stop.
May his soul destroy his killers

Never heard of him but nice piece of african history i really enjoyed it
Africans and Greediness he was such a great leader just like Thomas Sankara.
I admire Amilcar Cabral. Love from your MAUMAU compatriots in Kenya. Mzungu arudi Ulaya mwafrika apate Uhuru. MAUMAU is an acronym for late the white
Man go back to Europe for an Afrikan to be full independent. Pan-Africanism is our only way. Join Pan-Africanism wherever you as an Afrikan descendant.
I hate to see the Portuguese in today's Angola fawning and pretending, shameless people. Africa must make such history of trickery of the Western Countries mandatory in schools throughout Africa. The Portuese government was indeed the worst in Africa.

Thank you AB for such a great documentary about my country. Amilcar Cabral was a unique figure in recent history of our young nation. It's sad that after his brothers ousting, Luis Cabral, the country would never find the right path to success.
Matter fact the only man who held powers in Portugal was the then prime Minister Salazar.
Cheers
Amilcar Cabral- Leader and Nationalist. Tatenda u always make my weekends with ur indepth research and well choreographed 🎥
It also happens to Patrice Lumbada DRC first P.M.
Hi Africa Biographics can you do a video about Aristides Perreira Cabo Verde first President.
Another Malcolm little? Killed by his own allies
So great to study our hero’s and honor them by keep passing the torch.
The fact that he was killed by his own men, bribed by the Portuguese secret service, was an ironic forecast of what was to come with independence.
Remember African Countrie. Whatever happens it's the former coloniner fault, not yours!
Most of us are unaware of white modus operandi (devide n conquer), n how tricky and deceitful they are as a people. They will only recognize that who will best fit their nations’ interests. According to history capeverdean were trained to serve a purpose that hurt Afrika up to this day. Our role as well as our genesis in history is not good to look at, thou we gotta face it.
We cape verdeans need a new body of knowledge, a new mindset. We need to be really free n learn how to love each other n do for ourselves.
Thank u so much for this video. God bless u!
Good job once more man.. You're the best
Portugal sucks.
The evil race will pay in the coming century!
Cabral was an exceptional Mind. Little Portugal had no chance.
One of My Heroes! And I don't say That Lightly! Need to complete his book I started to Read; "No Fist is Big Enough to Hide The Sky"!
Fighting against oppression is a hard sweat inducing task.
What are contemporary African leaders doing to keep the sun shining for thw continent’s true independence and development???
UN is part of the colonial power..it can't in anyway help the African people
Nigeria and Africa miss you
Thank you so much for this video.
Great subscribed for you
It was amilcar Cabral who told his fellow fighters to claimed no easy victories
Never trust any white man with his fake smile
According to BBC list the Guinea Bissau's leader Amilcar Cabral is the second great leader of all time behind Abraham Lincoln.
Our names. 😦😦
Well-done!
Brother, I admire your work thank you
with all the feats of guinean politicians, we can be pretty sure, that they did not need help from portugal to kill Amilcar Cabral…how many coup d'etat in guinea bissau since independance?
Appreciate the improved quality brother 🤟
Love your content 👍
Portuguese colonialism was one of the vilest and most inhumane of them all. They try to paint it as "benevolent colonialism" but it was far from that.
