São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.

According to the latest statistics, it has a population of about 300,000 people, mainly of Ewe and Kabyle ethnicity, who are mostly engaged in agriculture and small-scale trading activities.

There are phosphate reserves around the city, and handicrafts are characterized by weaving and pottery making.The Blitta solar power plant (50 MW), which was commissioned in 2018, is an important clean energy project in the West African region.
