The air in Praia was filled with the scent of burning salva, a traditional herb, as Jorge Oliveira Lizardo, a man dressed in green with impeccably groomed rastafari hair covered by a colorful scarf, stood quietly on the steps of the National Assembly. This marked the solemn session celebrating Cape Verde's journey since gaining independence on July 5, 1975. The event was not only a celebration of the country's achievements but also a recognition of the significant challenges it faces today.
The ceremony was a poignant reminder of the country's struggle for freedom and the ongoing efforts to overcome obstacles. The atmosphere was charged with emotion, as the community came together to reflect on their shared history and look towards the future with hope and determination.
