Cabinda – The Minister of National Defence and Motherland Veteran, João Ernesto dos Santos, considered Tuesday in Cabinda, the January 4, 1961 as fundamental in the resistance trajectory against colonial occupation and for national independence on November 11, 1975.
During the central commemorative act for the sixty-first anniversary of the Day of the Martyrs of the Colonial Repression, João Ernesto dos Santos, referred that the realization of the act in Cabinda was due to the fact that the region had been a laboratory of “brave guerrillas” during the war of national liberation.
