Overview
During the Portuguese Colonial War (1961-1974), thousands of Africans fought alongside the Portuguese Armed Forces and risked their lives for a homeland they believed was their own. After the Carnation Revolution, however, they were left behind. Persecuted and killed, the Portuguese Guinean commandos suffered the worst of Portugal’s abandonment. Nearly 50 years later, they tell their story for the first time and accuse the Portuguese state of betrayal.
