The Algiers Accord (Portuguese: Acordo de Algiers) was signed in Algiers, Algeria, on 26 August 1974, between the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) and the Portuguese government that had been installed by the Carnation Revolution in Lisbon. In the agreement, Portugal agreed to recognize Guinea-Bissau's independence and a transfer of power of the 125 enclaves still controlled by the Portuguese army to the PAIGC. The two states also agreed to an independence referendum for Cape Verde and a withdrawal of all Portuguese troops by the end of October 1974. [1] [2] [3]
