- 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….

I have a lot of respect for Amilcar Cabral! He was a staunch anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist and Pan-Africanist.
Indeed!
what a lot of CRAPPY IDEOLOGY...he would be nothing if it werent for the PORTUGUESE,.,,,he bit the hand that fed him.,..he is a TRAITOR in more ways than one,
@@marcustraore545 bs.
Ase he's a great Pan African warrior leader mentor and hero.
Baba Amilcar Cabral.
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.
For the Europeans to have affectively control Africans it took the collaboration of some of those same Africans to work against their own people.
@@reubenjoseph910 Yep! Africans taking foreign bribes in detriment of their own people. A now long tradition that's been carried on.
Enemy within
All my skinfolk ain' t my kinfolk
That's the saddest part, bribery and corrupt insiders who have no vision to see Africa prosper will get everyone killed.
Here in the USA, many of us Afro-Americans admired and loved Dr. Amilcar Cabral. I read many of his writings, and years later after I became an educator, I began to teach some of his writings at university

Pity u all did not defend him.
Yet the slave army (black people serving in iraq) are continuing the policies of their white masters
Beautiful....
Me too
I’m a descendant of Cabral. In fact, the great grandson of “ Maninho” Cabral. We still have families all around
I believe I've seen one on Facebook
@@SagesseNoir I could possibly point out who it is. My grandmother(Isabel Cabral, and her son said that we still have more Cabral relatives in Guinea Bissau. They had moved to Cabo verde, great grand father owed Tobacco farms and molding golds. I could write what I was taught and shown but it’s a lot. Also, You could spot a ‘true Cabral’ by their intelligence, face features and strong rebellious like personality. I’m proud to say, his dna are still alive and going !
@@rileytavares4087 God bless your ancestor and his fight for the liberation struggle ✊🏽✊🏽
Im a decent to bro
Good keep on sharing the legacy
Long live Amilcar Cabral, Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 is now a very beautiful country. I have many videos of this country 👊🏿👌🏿👍🏿
Didn't know about this true African patriot, he could have chosen to enjoy life as an assimilado but instead fought strategically for liberation of his country, much respect to AMILCAR CABRAL
Great video. South African Revolutionaries have great respect for Amilcar Cabral.
I admire Amilcar Cabral. Love from your MAUMAU compatriots in Kenya. Mzungu arudi Ulaya mwafrika apate Uhuru. MAUMAU is an acronym for let the white
Man go back to Europe for an Afrikan to be fully independent. Pan-Africanism is our only way of life. Join Pan-Africanism wherever you are as an Afrikan descendant.
Indeed!
My country! Amilcar Cabral is the greatest! ❤️ thank you for the video
You are welcome
Long Live the Legacy of this Great SON of Africa
Thank you brother, we need this. Your playing a crucial role in the development of African thought and history, don't stop.
You are welcome
i have high regards for Late Amilcar Cabral the independence leader of Guniea Bissau. Rest in peace Gentleman.
We should also have disgust and resentment towards the Portugueses government and all the other colonisers of African lands and people.
There are people who would say, “what is the point of resentment. It will get us no where”.
Well, all our revolutionary leaders rightly held resentment for their oppressors. There would have been no action without it. There can be no action without it in the future. We have too many ‘neutral Negros’ today.
How long they should kille our leaders while we stand aside and look?
African we don' t have no friend and we gotta enemy within
@@derrickfinlayson3184 You are wrong. Resentment is always a bad ideia. You don’t need that to fight! Furthermore, actual Portuguese people are not responsible for what their ancestors did. We, Cape Verde, Guiné Bissau, Angola, Mozambique, S. Tomé & Principe, and East Timor have good and constructive relationship with Portugal, today. That’s how it should be.
@@antoniomorais4344 Oppressed people have always harnessed resentment and hatred to challenge and fight the oppressor. From the Jews and Polish in Nazi Germany to the African enslaved people over the centuries.
If, on the other hand, the fighting is over some dispute or invasion threat with no abuse or oppression, you can fight without hate and resentment.
I was named after him. One of the greatest africans
History th-cam.com/video/ejItter9qGQ/w-d-xo.html..k
lovely name... God bless you
“La luta continúa” Viva Amilcar Cabral!✊🏽Great man! Thank you! Rest in peace!
History th-cam.com/video/ejItter9qGQ/w-d-xo.html..k
as a Portuguese, thank you very much for this video. Cabral's humane stance in making clear the enemy was the Portuguese Government and not the people further shows how intelligent he was, he did not sucumb to hating blindly. I wish the best success to the people of Guiné-Bissau, the war between our people's should never have happened, independence should have been voted on before any counter insurgency operations took place.
Peace and prosperity to all of PALOP ❤
-a portuguese from Lisbon
Portuguese and Palop people are connected forever.
He said the Portuguese colonial authorities, not Portugal
Salute this Comrades & Love from the Land of the Brave Namibia 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦. Our national leaders e.g Dr. Sam Nujoma supported Cde Cabral & Seko Ture. Thanks for constructive & fair documentation.
We are not against the Portuguese were against Portuguese colonialism = truthful and powerful!! Rise in glory president Cabral!!✌🏽🙏🌎💯☮️
Thanks for sharing this.
Keep on equipping us with such important information
According to BBC list the Guinea Bissau's leader Amilcar Cabral is the second great leader of all time behind Abraham Lincoln.
Ahead of all of them is thomas sankara. The greatest man of the 20th century.
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
You are welcome
Much respect for Amilcar Cabral, why I’m for my people until the end
LONG LIVE OUR BROTHER AMILKAR CABRAL LION OF JUDAH
Long live the CCP THE TRUE INHERITORS OF AFRICA.
Nigeria and Africa miss you
A true cape verdian hero

HOMMAGES👏🙏🌍🇬🇼
Great video bro. I'm surprised that we got a video today👍🏾
Thanks for the feedback. Just felt like uploading today since the video was done :)
He was killed by his own soldiers.
Like Laurent Kabila.
They weren't HIS soldiers, they was the soldiers of Satan masking as his soldiers,,,. Have a good day,,,.
In warfare you will always find traitors its never easy to be military leader especially if your fighting for a good cause and war in general is a risk there is no guarantee you will win, you have to look out for attacks, you have to ensure good leadership, military tactics, loyalty organisation etc.
Black face who work for the enemy
Comrade A Carbral, your dedication and sacrifice for the liberation and freedom of the people of Guinea Bissau shall always remain indelible in the history of the world in general and that of the people of Guinea Bissau in particular and above all to his family and May Almighty Allah SWT Grant his gentle soul in Heaven, Ameen.
Hey just discovered your channel and I really like it. African history is difficult to find so I appreciate it
A statue in Moscow , Fidel Castro called him the greatest revolutionary
Cabral was a great admirer of India's PM
Indira Gandhi he named his daughter

Ghandi was a racist.
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.
Yes
Appreciate the improved quality brother 🤟
Love your content 👍
Thank you
I can't wait to see nuno Vera by the way thank for the hard work you be doing for the contents
Thomas Sankara was a great admirer of Amilcar
Thanks for this video! I have been to Bissau and I took a picture of a political poster that had his picture on it with the Guinea-Bissau flag in the background. I had no idea who he was until this video so I love it. It is generally difficult to get news from Guinea-Bissau, mostly only when something bad happens, which is really sad. I will keep watching :)
What are the chances that Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau would have been united had Cabral lived to see independence?
Thats a very good question right there.
my god, I don't want to think about that. Cape verde ans guinea bissau are tow very different countries and guinea bissau goes from coup d'etat to coup d'etat...I would be ashamed if cape verde was part of guinea bissau...
@@michaelmatisse2808 The history of Guinea Bissau would of been different if the ancestor Cabral survived.
@@michaelmatisse2808 Are you ashamed Cabral played a major role in freeing Cape Verde?
Zero chance, sadly. Since the killing of Amilcar, the two entities have moved away from each other’s increasingly. Even the military leaders during the fight against the Portuguese have bitterly split post 1973. I was actually in Guinea that faithful night. I was sleeping outside our compound because of heat, l also don’t like AC. When l heard the gunfire, l run inside the house to tell my late father who was a general physician. I am not saying that Portuguese secret police Pide/Dgs did not have something to do with Cabral murder, but l believe to this day that paigc and Cabral were victims of the organization inherent weakness and contradictions. The Portuguese used those contradictions to their advantage in fracturing the organization. Because the people who went to see Turay after the murder, the likes of Valentino Mangama, Jap Tomas De Gama, Momoh Turay, Mamadu Njai and Kabo Nabonia who killed himself during his interrogation while in detention were never fully investigated before their subsequent transfer to Madina Boe, Kandifara and different fronts. Many of them where actually executed some horribly before the murder was fully investigated. It was actually Kani and Valentino mangama who are responsible for Cabral physical assassination. Sadly, to this day, we really don’t know what happened to the late Cabral. Thank you for your contribution, sir. Merci énormément pour ta contribution dans cette tragédie.
This episode is special for me. I'm Portuguese.
My father fought there from 71 to 73. I wish the best for Guiné Bissau 🇬🇼
Not by choice you're father was on the wrong side of history. The majority won so proud of cabrrea worthy idea 😢.
Good job once more man.. You're the best
Thank you
Good video and thank you for informations 👍🏽
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!
Well, if you Africans have yet not lernt who are your enemies, then God help you!
That’s not paranoid at all…
O nosso problema e fazer o oposto de Amilcar.
Ele se recusou a viver na ilusao da mente C.V. domesticada pelos colonialists.
Nasci em portugal mas meu espirito sempre falou negro mesmo antes de estar familiarisada com a historia de nossa cultura. E muitas vezes tive problems com o nosso people por causa disso - dentro e fora da familia.
Temos de ser mais como nosso irmaos palop e parar uma vez por todas de ser House slaves.
Ser C.v. é mais que cachupa e grogue 😑
E mais que hora de nos reconectarmos e ser UBUNTU!
Brother, I admire your work thank you
you are welcome
Amilcar Cabral was one of the freedom fighters for for independence of my country Cape Verd in 1975. We were devastated 💔 when he got killed.
Love you from south Africa
Hi Africa Biographics can you do a video about Aristides Perreira Cabo Verde first President.
Long live Cabral....I salute him together with Bantu Steve Biko of S.Africa...
One of Africa's greatest leaders.
So great to study our hero’s and honor them by keep passing the torch.
Amilcar Cabral- Leader and Nationalist. Tatenda u always make my weekends with ur indepth research and well choreographed 🎥
Thanks Mark
It was amilcar Cabral who told his fellow fighters to claimed no easy victories
great vid
Well-done!
Good work sir! We don't get to hear about such stories from 'establishment' sources
It also happens to Patrice Lumbada DRC first P.M.
How long they should kill our leaders and we stand aside and look ?
Perhaps you meant Patrice Lumumba who was abducted and murdered.
@@jojoanggono3229 Correct.
great man lets to greats memories.. txs AB
Got mad respect for Amilcar Carbal. It's a shame that some of his own people was willing to kill him just for be under Portugal. Sad man!! One of the world all time great leaders!!
White saviour syndrome is a serious mental illness
@@Aeon1019 IKR!! Sad man!!
Cabral was an exceptional Mind. Little Portugal had no chance.
"NOT IN ANY LEGAL SENSE",That's for sure,,,.lol,,,.
Very interesting and well presented . The Portuguese had a very shoddy reputation in terms of colonisation with poor infrastructural investment and for some reason persisted in trying to maintain these colonies even up to 2000 (Macau) without much to show for their efforts . Most ex European powers had yielded to self determination or African independence by the early 60s . What many Europeans may have failed to understand was that independence did not bring peace and harmony but instead internecine conflict as politics in Africa is frequently based on ethnicity within ex European territorial defined boundaries .
Man you are really the person to talk about it. But anyway....if you read the whole of it...you will see that they were far more fair than any other place.
An admiringly argued, but flawed, essentially wrong assessment. Far too many weasel words and unsubstantiated generalizations. Portuguese colonialism, imperial conquest, and occupation of a myriad of lands certainly was accompanied by not merely neglect or torpor, but, of course, slavery and genocide. So, too, has been Omani, Ottoman, Arab, Chinese, or any other expansionary project you might care to mention. Ask any East Timorese old enough to have lived as a subject of Portuguese Timor until 1975 saw its flicker of independence ( fully supported by the Portuguese Armed Forces ) ruthlessly crushed into decades of pulping and shredding into near-oblivion. By their ‘ anti-colonial ‘, Javanese Islamist neighbours. The erectors of an empire groaning under Jakata’s blood-soaked grip, from Aceh to West Papua.
The difference with Portugal and other European countries is that Portugal actually considered its colonies as integral parts of the Portuguese nation. Unlike Britain or France though, who at first tried to neutralize independence movements through war crimes, division and brutality, Portugal made improvements to better the life conditions. You can validly tell me that it was a last ditch effort, and that's true, but it could have just followed the lead of her European counterparts and start brutally suppressing Guineans, yet she didn't. Portuguese african territories had it far better than say Algeria, Kenya, Uganda, Namibia, the Congo, Chad and a good majority of African Republics today.
Guinea-Bissau, a country forgotten by everyone even other African countries.
Great video.
Thanks
Never heard of him but nice piece of african history i really enjoyed it

Very interesting and educational.
Same story,Great African visionaries/Freedom fighters,colonizers and sellouts(our own people)…..There is no boundaries for the African mind,liberation is a must!!!
How can you, a colonial thief, send a citizen on exile from his place of birth?
The crimes these guys committed are so heinous.
shocking! 😳
"👉🏼...not really.👈🏼"
That was sad Amilcar Cabral was a hero to Guine's people's
Africans and Greediness he was such a great leader just like Thomas Sankara.
He was a very intelligent man
Obviously a great man who Loved his people, for that he paid with his Life, God bless 🙏
Ive really enjoyed hearing this accounting of history. As an American, I'm aware of colonialism and its horrors, but rarely are specifics mentioned. One has to be driven to dig into history to learn these things.
Baba Amilcar Cabral is a great Pan African leader warrior mentor and hero.
Baba Cabral oppose colonialism as well as neo colonialism.
Baba Cabral a great Pan African leader warrior mentor and hero who put his life on the line to free our people in Guinea Bissau to their self dependence.
Great man 💪💪💪we love him in Algeria 🫡
Thanks
Will always love and respect the legacy of our true leader!!
I like history topics.
May this fearless revolutionary who will live forever rest peacefully
Imagine if we had guys like this today.
The west made sure they eliminate every good and able strong hearted leader in Africa that see through their bs and have good intentions to build Africa. And replace them with the ones they can control. Worst they use us to destroy our own
Where was he buried? Is there a monument where he's laid to rest?
🇵🇹 🇨🇻🇬🇧✌🏽👍🏽
Always your own come at you
Great subscribed for you
Welcome aboard
Nice documentary but you should not call the country Portuguese guinea because the colonizer don't have any right in Africa
History is about learning what happend in the past guinea was under portuguese rule at the time. So yes it is portuguese guinea until they got independence
Africa 4 Africans and we don' t have no friend
@@lacinabakayoko4634 no friend all of those invader researchers and visited only come with one intention is to rob the native Africans
@@handelbarrett7662 It's still Portuguese territory. You just don't know it.
500 years and the Fula tribe the communists massacred says otherwise. History is never simple, or a black and white affair, it’s shades of grey.
I'm always stunned to learn how differently Portugal treated her territories during rebellions in comparison to other European countries. She could have acted far more brutally, yet she never did. Props to Guinea Bissau and her brave fighters, tho I can't help but recognise Portugal's more appreciable approach too.
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.
Most Europeans did the same shit. Believe me, I argued with them about colonialism all the time, and the fact they defend looting and forced labour is disgusting.
All colonialism is the same French, British, Arab same story.
by the way, it is never nice when a country conquers another, just read the bible and you will see. Egyptians were not behaving that different from modern europeans. I have no doubt that when the empire of congo conquered other african lands they behave badly with them just as anyone else in history treated the losers...I think it is time for africans to grow up and stop pointing the finger to other when they would have done the same things had they have the opportunity
But it was Portugal which started the Trans Atlantic Ocean Slave Trade from West Africa even before Christopher Columbus went to the Americas in the year 1492
@@michaelmatisse2808
Just ask the Dominicans about Haiti after it got its independence.
Dr Mondlane of mozambique was also assassinated by the Portuguese. As a refugee and an organizer of Frelimo freedom fighters living in Tanzania, Daressalaam.
Need a movie about him
Those who do good work history will document.
When will Europe ever apologize for killing our sons in Africa?
The enemies of Africa are always from the inside. It's sad.
‘How Europe UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA’…..Devil them.(Walter Rodney)
Viva Cabral ❤❤❤
Why is it that all Portuguese former colonies in Africa gained "independence" years after French and English colonies?
Because the Portuguese were not players in the ww2 . They were neutral .
Also they changed their policies in their former colonies .
By the end of ww2 the fascist new empire USA dictated the rules and succesully or or so much took over all former European colonies : Vietnam , Congo , Iran , etc .
A shift of power among white powers .
Portuguese colonies were spared from the world war two horrors but woke up to the true nature of colonialism .
In these territories there were no true national entity even today there are tribal divisions within the territories, Portugal ended the status of indigenous people in the 60s so every person born in Portuguese territory was Portuguese, this did not give them many rights because Portugal was a dictatorship, Portugal also started the so-called "assimilados" program that gave higher education to Africans, at a time when 90% of the Portuguese in Portugal only received basic instruction, they start to integrated them into Portuguese society this made many Africans side with the Portuguese, the most decorated Portuguese soldier is Marcelino da Mata when asked why a African fought for Portugal he replied that he fought because he was Portuguese so things weren't black against white were strange, another strange thing is that in Guinea and Mozambique vast majority of army fighters were local volunteers.

I was bored so decided to start watching this and some of this set of documentaries just to pass the time.. I am glad I did, I think they are well done and can only add to my education (even if I am in my 50s, I still like learning). As I was born in the 1060s I can say I have seen a lot of change over the years, and think some of those are good to see.. sad I can't say that is always the case though. Anyway thanks for putting these together, I will go through all of them when I have the time to do so. Education gains you knowledge, and of course the Churches think it is evil, as we don't make very good slaves for them especially when we end up with more knowledge and intelligence than than their idot priests eh? lol
You were born in 1060s
Ele foi para onde ao devia
The best leader ever lived
Long live amilcar Cabral
Viva Cabo verde
