Where is Cape Verde?
Cape Verde is an archipelago nation in the central Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of West Africa. It's known for its volcanic islands, like Fogo, where the tragic bus accident happened. The country has a rich Creole culture, a mix of African and Portuguese influences, and relies heavily on tourism and remittances from its diaspora.
