More people actually live abroad than within its actual borders. And until recently, most people had probably never even heard of it. But then, this tiny island nation, of all places, qualified for the FIFA World Cup as a huge surprise, becoming the smallest country by area ever to make the cut. And now, after an impressive performance, including a win against top favorite Spain, they've even reached the knockout stage. We're talking about Cape Verde, an archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 570 kilometers off the west coast of Africa. And the closer you look, the stranger it gets. The name translates to "Green Cape," even though most of the islands are bone dry and the wind regularly blows sand from the Sahara onto the beaches. On one of the islands, people live voluntarily in the crater of an active volcano. Another is completely off-limits. All this on a piece of land that was entirely uninhabited until about 560 years ago. It's high time we took a closer look. Why were these islands settled in the first place? Why are more Cape Verdeans currently leaving the country than returning to their homeland? Why build their houses in an active volcano? And how did this almost forgotten archipelago become the sensation of the World Cup? We'll explore all these fascinating questions in today's video! Enjoy! Business Mail: [email protected]
