The Republic of Cabo Verde is a group of ten islands and five islets in the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Senegal. The government is a republic and has a stable democratic government. A president is chief of state and a prime minister is head of government. The population is about 538,000 people.
In the 15th century, the islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese. Until 1879, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau were ruled by Portugal as a single colony. Cabo Verde gained independence in 1975.
Cabo Verde has few natural resources, and the land is too dry for farming. During the second part of the 20th century, repeated droughts were the cause of about 200,000 deaths, and many Cabo Verdeans left the country. Today there are more expatriates than native-born people. In spite of the difficulties, Cabo Verde is economically and politically stable.
Tourism is a growing industry since travellers can enjoy white sand beaches, diving, sailing, and trekking. Some ecotourism is developing, and the town of Cidade Velha in Santiago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cape Verde中的安全性
人身安全
與其他非洲國家相比，佛得角的犯罪率普遍較低。扒手、搶包和入室竊盜等小偷小摸行為最常發生在普拉亞（首都聖地牙哥）、明德盧（聖維森特島）以及旅遊島嶼薩爾島和博阿維斯塔島。市場、節慶、海灘和公共集會等人群密集的區域吸引了伺機而動的竊賊。據報道，夜間和偏僻地區會發生搶劫，行凶者通常結夥犯案。毒品犯罪的處罰非常嚴厲，包括長期監禁和巨額罰款。有些地區缺乏路燈，停電會導致整個街區一片漆黑。連接普拉亞和其他城市街區的山坡樓梯是犯罪者盯上孤立個體的犯罪熱點。請避免獨自一人或在夜間使用這些樓梯。海灘竊盜多發生在聖瑪麗亞等旅遊區，竊賊會在飯店附近徘徊，尋找無人看管的物品。據報道，ATM提款後會發生搶劫事件，因此取現金時務必謹慎。性侵害事件罕見，但也有通報。普拉亞的暴力犯罪（包括武裝搶劫和襲擊）尤其多，但總體水平仍低於許多目的地。天黑後避免獨自行走，尤其是光線昏暗或偏僻的地方。薩爾島和博阿維斯塔島的觀光區監控嚴密，有警察定期巡邏，因此相對比市中心更安全。
極端暴力
佛得角近期沒有恐怖主義歷史，但也不能完全排除攻擊的可能性。該國擁有穩定的民主制度和和平的政治過渡，是非洲安全威脅等級最低的國家之一。組織犯罪的存在主要與佛得角作為南美洲和歐洲之間可卡因販運中轉站的角色有關。街頭幫派在普拉亞的邊緣街區活動，從事搶劫、盜竊、販毒和販運武器。城市暴力事件通常歸咎於被稱為「暴徒」的青年幫派，儘管這些活動很少直接針對遊客。一些與美國和歐洲犯罪組織有聯繫的被驅逐者參與了島上的毒品走私活動。大多數暴力犯罪發生在國內，配偶和伴侶對婦女的攻擊很常見。由於販毒集團將佛得角作為通往歐洲和非洲的門戶，毒品販運增加。持有、使用或販運毒品將受到嚴厲處罰。旅客因攜帶未貼標籤的藥物而被捕。恐怖主義威脅仍然很低，沒有記錄到重大事件。 2024年佛得角安全威脅指數為3.9（滿分10分），低於4.87的世界平均水平，顯示整體安全隱憂較低。該國完善的民主制度和穩定的政治環境造就了良好的安全環境。
政治動盪
佛得角民主穩定，選舉競爭激烈，兩大主要政黨－佛得角非洲獨立黨（PAICV）和爭取民主運動黨（MpD）－之間定期進行和平權力交接。自1991年首次舉行多黨選舉以來，該國一直維持民主治理。政治穩定性評分始終使佛得角在非洲國家中名列前茅，2023年的政治穩定指數為0.9，遠高於世界平均。公眾示威活動罕見，但偶爾會發生。抗議活動雖然和平，但始終存在演變成暴力事件或造成交通擁擠的可能性。遊客應避開示威和大型集會發生的區域，並關注當地媒體以獲取正在發生的事件資訊。佛得角歷史上沒有發生過政變、軍事幹預或重大政治暴力事件。集會自由受到法律保障，並在實務上普遍遵守。公民自由受到保護，言論自由、新聞自由和法治受到國家尊重。社會動盪的風險仍然很低，強大的製度框架能夠有效管控任何糾紛。選舉程序自由公正，國家選舉委員會也被視為公正。反對黨有切實的機會透過選舉獲得權力。下一屆議會選舉定於2026年舉行，儘管競選期間政治分歧可能會加劇，但預計不會出現重大動盪。佛得角致力於建立良政，並致力於打造專業的公務員隊伍，確保了各政黨權力的平穩交替。
應避免的區域
普拉亞（聖地牙哥首都）的犯罪率高於其他地區，尤其是入室盜竊、持械搶劫和攻擊等暴力犯罪。普拉亞的蘇庫皮拉市場是竊案的高發地。普拉亞和其他城鎮的山坡樓梯即使在白天也很危險，因為犯罪者會利用它們來襲擊落單的人。請避免獨自一人或夜間使用這些樓梯。普拉亞的某些邊緣街區存在幫派活動，但這很少影響遊客。明德盧（聖維森特）在人流密集的地區，尤其是在節慶和街頭市集期間，曾發生過扒竊和搶劫事件。雖然明德盧的旅遊區通常較為安全，但在監控較少的區域仍需保持警覺。薩爾島和博阿維斯塔島的觀光區，尤其是在像聖瑪麗亞這樣擁擠的海灘，輕微犯罪事件時有發生。不過，這些島嶼的度假區監管嚴密，有警察常駐，因此整體相對安全。布拉瓦島和福古島偶爾會發生地震和震動。前往這些島嶼前，請諮詢旅行社。前往布拉瓦島和福古島的海上旅行可能充滿危險，危險的天氣狀況經常導致渡輪服務中斷。乘船前往這些島嶼前，請諮詢當地居民。所有島嶼上偏僻且光線昏暗的區域都存在風險，尤其是在天黑後。許多公共區域缺乏充足的照明，停電可能會影響整個社區。沒有救生員看管的偏遠海灘可能會受到強流和巨浪的威脅。
