Every year on August 2, the Congolese community around the world observes a day of remembrance for the victims of the genocide perpetrated against the people of eastern DRC for economic gain.
University of Évora
The University of Évora was the second university to be established in Portugal. After the founding of the University of Coimbra in 1537, the need for another university to serve the South of the country was felt. Évora, ecclesiastical metropolis and temporary residence of the Court, immediately emerged as the most suitable city, and the university was opened in 1559. Running under the aegis of the Society of Jesus (also known as Jesuits) meant that the university was a target of the Marquis of Pombal’s Jesuit oppression, being closed down permanently in 1779 and its masters either incarcerated or exiled. It was reopened nearly two hundred years later in 1973 as Instituto Universitário de Évora (University Institute of Évora) by decree of the Minister of Education, José Veiga Simão, in the site of the older university as part of a set of education policies during the early 1970s that were attempting to reshape Portuguese higher education. Six years later, in 1979, the name was changed to Universidade de Évora.
