According to Amilcar Cabral,
“In our specific case, the struggle is the following: the Portuguese colonialists have taken our land, as foreigners and occupiers, and have exerted a force on our society. on our people. The force has operated so that they should take our destiny into their own hands, has operated so that they should halt our history for us to remain tied to the history of Portugal, as if we were a wagon on their train. And they have created a series of conditions, within our land; economic, social, cultural conditions, etc. For this they had to overcome a force. During almost fifty years they waged a colonial war against our people: war against Manjaco, Pepel, Fula, Mandinga, Beafada, Balanta, Felupe, against nearly all the ethnic groups of our land in Guine. In Cape Verde, the Portuguese colonialists found the islands deserted. At the period when the great exploitation of African men as slaves in the world appeared. . . . they decided to turn the archpelago into a storehouse for slaves. Folk taken from Africa, namely from Guine, were placed. . . as slaves. . . .There was constant resistance to this force. If the colonial force was acting in one direction, there was always our force which acted in the opposite direction.”

Amilcar Cabral also said,
“FOR THE AFRICANS WHO FOR FIVE CENTURIES HAVE LIVED UNDER PORTUGUESE DOMINATION, PORTUGUESE COLONIALISM REPRESENTS A REIGN OF EVIL, AND WHERE EVIL REIGNS THERE IS NO PLACE FOR GOOD.” [ PART 1: THE WEAPON OF THEORY, PORTUGUESE COLONIAL DOMINATION]
Here then is Cabral’s recognition of the five centuries' Dum Diversas War and the people who were taken from Guine and enslaved. Finally, on October 20, 1972, Amilcar Cabral addressed a group of African Americans, saying,
“We try to understand your situation in this country. You can be sure that we realize the difficulties you face, the problems you have and your feelings, your revolts, and also your hopes. We think that our fighting for Africa against colonialism and imperialism is a proof of understanding of your problems in this continent. Naturally, the inverse is also true. All the achievements here and real contribution to our own struggle.”
