Cuban President Arrives in Friendly Africa

  On AUGUST 22nd-2023 the three photos above show that Angola is an extremely important African nation and Angola loves Cuba. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel is on a 4-day visit to Angola and its President Joao Laurenco is lavishly welcoming President Diaz-Canel to his country.

     This photo today -- AUGUST 22nd-2023 -- shows a billboard in Luanda heralding the 4-day Angolan visit of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel. As the six-decade-old U. S. Embargo grips the Cuban people more than ever in August of 2023, Diaz-Canel is flying to friendly nations seeking vital support, and perhaps no nation in the world loves Cuba as much as  ANGOLA...because of their shared histories of being longtime colonial victims of foreign imperative powers.

    In 1959 Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution shocked the world by defeating the US-Mafia-Batista rule in Cuba. In 1975, despite dire warnings from both the U. S. and the Soviet Union, Fidel Castro sent 35,000 Cuban troops to Angola to overthrow British rule in Africa known as apartheid. INCREDIBLY...the victory of the Cuban soldiers in Angola changed history, leading to drastic events such as Nelson Mandela, who had been stuck in a British-run South African prison for 28 years with only a bucket for a toilet but, thanks to Cuba, Nelson Mandela was democratically elected president of South Africa from 1994 till 1999 and thereafter has been hailed as a world-wide Civil Rights icon.

   This photo shows Fidel Castro himself in Angola congratulating his Cuban soldiers for their historic victory.

    This photo shows Cuba's current President, Miguel Diaz-Canel, in Angola today placing a wreath of flowers on a monument in Luanda that honors the Cuban soldiers who died fighting for Angolan and African independence in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Today -- AUGUST 22nd-2023 -- billboards herald the 4-day visit to Angola by Cuban President Diaz-Canel. While the visit doesn't mean anything to the U. S. media, it is being reported by the International News Media:

   Oil-rich Angola, which has a population of 35 million people, is a very important African nation. While Angola massively loves Cuba, the United States and other Superpowers court Angola with trade favors and other inducements. While the ageless U. S. Embargo is designed to starve Cuba's economy, the U. S. provides Angola favored trade rights.

     Perhaps history's most famed Civil Rights icon, Nelson Mandela, considered Fidel Castro his all-time best friend, as revealed by famous quotes such as the one above.

They remained best friends as long as they lived.

They co-authored a book together.

Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro.

    And this week -- in late August of 2023 -- Presiden Lourenco of Angola is warmly hosting President Diaz-Canel of Cuba...in honor of what Fidel Castro did for Angola and Africa back in the 1970s and 1980s.
