Earlier this year (2018) Anselmo and Henrique arrived in Portland, Maine. They come from Cabinda, Angola which is an area about the size of New Jersey (7,000 sq. miles) located between Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo on the Atlantic Ocean, and is not contiguous with the rest of Angola.
In Cabinda there are many natural resources (oil, diamonds, gold, uranium, phosphates, and rare tropical hardwoods) and a temperature that ranges between 65-87F all year long.
Some people in Cabinda would like to seek independence from Angola and sovereignty for their people, as their culture is quite different from Angola's and their work to unite the disparate groups has not been successful.
Anselmo and Henrique are a part of a group called ADCDH (translated from Portuguese that stands for the Association for the Development of a Culture of Human Rights) which works peacefully toward raising global awareness about their region's issues.
