editThe article says: "Guerilla warfare against the Portuguese in Guinea (not in Cape Verde, however, as logistical reasons prevented an armed struggle on the islands) began in March 1962 with an abortive attack by PAIGC guerillas on Praia."
This is strange, since Praia is in Cape Verde (it is the capital).
The article says :"Portugal was on the verge of bunkruptcy". this is not accurate,Portugal was doing quite well economicaly even with three war fronts. A coup de etat happened mainly because of career issues within the army and not because of bankruptcy. Actually at the time Portugal had 900 tons of gold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.155.216.65 (talk) 00:06, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde → PAIGC – WP:COMMONNAME (which permits initialisms). A quick Google search of "PAIGC" brings up 326,000 results, which far outweights the 29,400 results for "African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde" and the 45,900 results for "Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde". Ngrams does not allow the full term "African Party for the Independence of ..." to be searched because of its lengthiness, however the widespread use of "PAIGC" can be verified.

- Oppose. The title "PAIGC" gives the reader no indication of what the article is about. Zacwill (talk) 17:55, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose. There's a redirection for that. FelipeRev (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
