Dos Santos was pretending to be dumb. Watch his press conference in the White House, he quickly answered the questions in Portuguese while the journalists questioned him in English.

Estás a falar atoa jovem Vê a entrevista na casa branca, lhe perguntavam em em inglês e ele respondia rapidamente em português, porque ele era chefe de estado de um país que fala português ( é praticamente obrigação falar em português)

Grande trabalho. Dediquei 28 anos por esta causa.Muito orgulho

"We accelerated the end of Apartheid and the Independence of Namibia" No you didn't! In actual fact you delayed the Independence of Namibia by a decade or more. The end of Apartheid happened in 1990 with the repeal of the Group Areas Act on the 19th of April 1990. Several things contributed to its end ...... the international pressure on South Africa, the end of communism, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the signing of the Tripartite Accord on the 22nd of September 1998 which secured the withdrawel of the Cuban Troops out of Angola. South Africa's Rainbow Nation was achieved on the 27th of April 1994 not before the sitting down of all the parties at the CODESA Convention in Durban, South Africa starting on the 25th of October 1991. The historic dates below speak for themselves in regards to the de facto MPLA Government and Cuban's intervention in Africa and Angola. *Cuba training MPLA troops in Algiers: 1963 *Che Guevara meets MPLA Agostinho Neto: 5 January 1965 *Following Castro's tour of African countries in May 1972 Cuba stepped up its internationalist operations in Africa starting a training mission in Sierra Leone and smaller technical missions in Equatorial Guinea, Somalia, Algeria and Tanzania. : May 1972 *Carnation Revolution, Portugal: 25 April 1974 *Cuba sent Major Alfonso Perez Morales and Carlos Cadelo on a fact finding mission to Angola to assess the situation: December 1974 / January 1975 *Alvor Agreement: 15 January 1975 - Granting of Independence of Angola from Portugal. *Nakuru Agreement: 21 June 1975 - Attempt to salvage the Alvor Agreement *Truce ended between MPLA/UNITAFNLA: 9 July 1975 after which the MPLA violently forced the FNLA out of Luanda and UNITA voluntarily withdrew to its stronghold in the south. *Castro urged the USSR to increase support for the MPLA, offered to send special troops and asked for assistance. The Russians declined : 15 August 1975 *The dispatch of the Cuban volunteers started 21 August 1975 and an advance party with the most urgently needed specialists used international commercial flights. Small groups continued to trickle into Luanda on such flights as well as on Cuba's ageing Britannia planes and the bulk arrived after a two-week trip aboard three Cuban cargo vessels; the first one, the "Vietnam Heroico" docked at Porto Amboim on 5 October. The arrival of two Cuban ships in Angola with instructors on board was reported by the CIA and raised no alarm in Washington : 21 August 1975 *South Africa intervened with 1500 troops with US support to rescue the stalemate in Angola, Operation Savanah: 23 October 1975 - Failed due to the Cubans having dug in around Luanda with heavy artillery preventing the expeditionary force from going any further. South African forces ordered to withdraw back into Namibia. *Neto declared the independence of the People's Republic of Angola: 11 November 1975 - The FNLA and UNITA responded by proclaiming their own government based in Huambo. UN Resolution 435 on Namibian Independence: 29 September 1978. Cuba's first informal contacts with the MPLA dated back to the late 1950s. The left leaning MPLA had numerous dealings with several other Eastern Bloc countries, receiving financial aid, training and weapons. The one fundamental flaw in my opinion in regards to Angola where people start drawing outlandish conclusions is they all leave out the support the MPLA received from Cuba. Cuba had no right to be in Africa, it certainly wasn't invited into Angola by the majority of its people namely UNITA and the FNLA. Briefly the FNLA are Angolans living in the Northern parts of Angola, the MPLA is resident around the major towns like Luanda and UNITA resides in the South and South Eastern part of Angola. By numbers the FNLA and UNITA were in the majority in 1975 but with the aid of the MPLA, Agostinho Neto declared himself the President of Angola and the MPLA the Government of Angola. This was also acknowledged by the Russians. This one single piece of history perpetuated the civil war in Angola as UNITA and the FNLA stated that the MPLA were in fact an illegitimate Government and did not recognise it as such. During all of this the Portuguese, the previous Colonial Ruler for the previous 500 years had not been consulted about the Cuban intervention and by this time with the Carnation Revolution and the African countries consuming 40% of its budget, the had packed their bags and left. One could say Portugal had had enough of the ungrateful people of Angola and left them to their own devices. Going on to your accusation that somehow Castro had something to do with Namibian Independence is a fallacy. Namibian Independence had already been granted through United Nations Resolution 435 on the 29th of September 1978 due to a Court Ruling in June 1971, where the International Court of Justice ruled that the South African presence in Namibia was illegal. South Africa was the trustee of Namibia since 1915 during World War 1 where the then League of Nations had granted it as such when Germany surrendered to South Africa. Up until 1915, Namibia (German South West Africa) was a German Colony. So from 1915 until 1971 by law South Africa was the trustee of Namibia. The international court needed the UN to sanction the decision, that came in 1978 with Resolution 435. So technically speaking, South Africa had to give up its trusteeship of Namibia (South West Africa) in 1978. But what had happened since 1975 with all the dates above, a total mess in Angola, on the border with Namibia. The Cubans had moved in permanently with the support of Russia money and weapons. South Africa was in a dilemma as it had to give up Namibia but was faced with the "Domino Effect" of having the illegal Marxist orientated MPLA in charge in Angola with thousands of Cubans in support. Cuba was the mercenary army of the MPLA, allowing it to remain in power and plunder the resources for itself...the OIL. Cuba will never admit it, but the MPLA paid Castro countless millions of Dollars for his support. At the Tripartite Accord 1988, it was discussed amongst people like Crocker, Risquet, Freeman, Botha and several other Angolans that in order for Castro to leave Angola he needed to do so honourably. It was the late South African Foreign Minister, Pik Botha that came up with the solution to the Cuban Risquet that sold the deal to Castro. Basically if they continued to fight they would all be losers but if Castro declared that he was the father of Namibian Independence and the end of colonialism in Africa, he would have achieved a greater victory, the freedom of the people of Namibia and their Independence. The South Africans on the other hand could tell the white people back home, they got rid of the Cubans and their war is over. Once the Cubans could leave in honour, it was all over. Back in 1988 the South Africans kept quiet, they did not wish to provoke Castro and escalate the war. If Cuba was being responsible and going to leave Angola for good, why antagonise the situation. Yet still today you will hear the amazing victory at Cuito Cuanavale. If I could contribute the Namibian Independence to one person, it would be the late Pik Botha, who worked tireless over nearly 2 decades in ensuring that the Namibian issue was handled correctly. Today, Namibia is a stunning country, while Angola is still a mess for the most part. They eventually killed Savimbi in 2002 an d the question begs, what would have happened differently had the Cubans not come to Africa and left Portugal and the people of Angola to handle their own problems. But that is the story of all African countries upon receiving Independence, everyone has to squabble over the spoils first and thousands have to die.

May your struggle continue.

Claro.
