Don’t see Cape Verde in the news much, good for them.

Have you been to the cape or to the islands (which constitute the nation)? They were uninhabited until Portuguese explorers discovered them. The mainland Africans were unaware of their existence. So much for theories that Africans founded the Olmec civilization in Mexico.
