Headline Special Committee of 24 Sends Visiting Mission to Cape Verde

Caption Description A four-member mission of the Special Committee of 24 on decolonization left New York on 22 February to visit Cape Verde at the invitation of the Government of Portugal and the Territory’s liberation movement, the African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC). The mission is composed of Haissam Kelani (Syria), its Chairman; Stanislav Suja (Czechoslovakia), Noumou Diakite (Mali) and Vincent Lasse (Trinidad and Tobago). The islands, now under a transitional government, are slated for independence on 5 July following the election of a constituent assembly in June. The Cape Verde Islands lie off the west coast of Africa, the nearest point being approximately 600 kilometres from Dakar (Senegal). There are 10 islands and five islets with a resident population of over 270,000.
Members of the Visiting Mission toured in Praia, Santiago Island, on 26 February and visited a banana plantation located 50 km. outside Praia and owned and operated by a workers’ co-operative. Seen here, from left: Gilberto Schlittler-Silva, Principal Secretary of the Mission; Corentino Santos, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Economic Affairs; unidentified co-operative member, Haissam Kelani (Syria); Stanislav Suja (Czechoslovakia); Mario Graga, President of the Banana Workers’ Co-operative; Vincent Lasse (Trinidad and Tobago); and Noumou Diakite (Mali).
