Boe (full name Madina do Boe) is a settlement in the southeastern region of Guinea-Bissau. In this location the independence of Guinea-Bissau was declared on September 24, 1973. Boe served as the Guinea-Bissau de facto capital until 1974, when Portugal offered independence to Portuguese Guinea after the Carnation Revolution in Lisbon, and Bissau was declared the national capital of the newly-independent country.
