What individuals and events in history are a source of pride for São Tomé and Príncipe?
That's interesting. Were there any specific events that shaped the nation's history?
Yes, the Batepá massacre in 1953, where peaceful protesters were brutally killed by the Portuguese colonial forces, is a significant event in the country's history. It sparked the independence movement and led to the establishment of the country's first political party, the Movement for the Liberation of São Tomé and Príncipe (MLSTP).
