At last Friday’s celebration of official Nigeria-Cuba ties, she told us: “Nigeria is a place where I personally feel the spiritual connection with its people and the different cultures that make it a special country.” What the Angolans expected from Cuba were some military supplies. President Neto in his 26 January, 1975 letter of appeal to the Cuban leadership listed these urgent needs as:

Weapons and means of transportation for the Brigada de Intervención that we are planning to organise, as well as light weapons for some infantry battalions. “African blood flows freely through our veins. Many of our ancestors came as slaves from Africa to this land. As slaves they struggled quite a great deal. They fought as members of the Liberating Army of Cuba. We’re brothers and sisters of the people of Africa and we are ready to fight on their behalf!”
The Cuban intervention which directly led to the independence of Namibia and South Africa, tragically came at a huge cost. Over 5,000 Cuban youths sacrificed their lives on the African soil with another 5,000 missing or injured; no greater sacrifice can a people make for another.
