No other political figure outside of Africa symbolized global solidarity with the aspirations of the people from the northern regions to the sub-continent than Comandante President Fidel Castro Ruz of the Republic of Cuba.
Historical, political and cultural ties between the people of Africa and Cuba extend back for over five centuries. Cuba was colonized by European empires utilizing the labor of enslaved Africans whose super-exploitation laid the basis for the rise of world capitalism and imperialism.
In a speech delivered by President Castro on April 19, 1976 in Havana commemorating the 15th anniversary of the heroic victory over exiled mercenaries coordinated by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives at Playa Giron (Bay of Pigs), the Cuban leader said: “We are a Latin African people – enemies of colonialism, neocolonialism, racism, apartheid, which Yankee imperialism aids and protects.” (http://www.rhodesia.nl/giron.htm)
