Boé

Boé

formerly  Madina Do Boé 

      town located on the Corubal River in southeastern Guinea-Bissau. It was the site of the declaration of independence put forth in 1973 by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde; PAIGC). The mayor of Bissau city, Juvencio Gomes, announced at the country's independence in 1974 that Boé would replace Bissau as the capital of Guinea-Bissau as a symbol of the struggle against Portugal; this plan was not implemented, however, because of its economic impracticality. There are bauxite and iron-ore deposits in the nearby Boé Hills. Pop. (2004 est.) 11,750.
