Once a week, we organize an internal meeting in each of our 19 sections. In particular, it serves as a framework for an ideological, information sharing and analysis on the situation of the country, the planning of citizen actions and campaigns to be carried out as well as an evaluation of our action as a movement.
This is where the great decisions of the movement are taken.

" MISTAKE OF PORTUGAL TO CABINDA"

This is the simbulambuco treaty. A historic milestone for the Cabindas. It was in this place where the Kings of Cabinda and Portuguese representatives signed the agreement in which, Cabinda was put under protection of Portugal in order to prevent the invasion of France and Belgium. Cabinda was completely separated from Angola. While Angola was being colonized, Cabinda was independent territory. As there were threats of invasion from France and Belgium as already mentioned above, Cabinda had decided to invite Portugal in order to sign a protection agreement. This agreement took place in February 1th, 1885. In this agreement, Portugal committed to protect and respect the austerities imposed by the Kings. But as the human being is evil by nature, Portugal decided to betray Cabindas by annexing Cabinda as part of Angola in November 11th, 1975 in Alvor agreement, without any consent from Cabindians. Thus, violating in this case the agreement signed with Kings. Portugal realizing the huge mistake committed after,decided to annul the agreement. But it was completely late. Because Angola had involved former Soviet Union(Russia) and Cuba to invade Cabinda as a result of the resources that the territory presented. Leaving in this way Cabinda under communist management(MPLA-Angola) to this day.
