Solidarity - a foreign concept to Americans.

I was born in Cuba in 1989, grew up there for 14 years. Back then I used to hate Fidel and his ideals. I felt as if we had to live in poverty because the PCC(Communist Party) wanted to show the world how great they were at the expense of their own people. Now I tend to think of him as a visionary, he was trying to achieve something greater than national stability, he was trying to change the world for the better and I admire that.

wow. sometimes i feel like Everything is a lie, in America.

(True) Africans will never forget Fidel, Che and the Cuban people! Thank you!

Thanks to the cuban Revolution there's total peace in the entire island. A country that's at peace with itself and focuses on studies can help its brothers and sisters from other nations. If USA was to stop strangling the small island than Cuba would be a great asset to the entire World.

earlier, haiti wanted to free all african countries after they got their freedom. however, america, the french and the british squashed this intiative. however, castro picked it up later. remember he and che' were revolutionaries.

This is AWESOME, thank you Amy for all that you bring to light💃

RIP Fidel Castro...

*RIP Mr. Fidel Castro!*

8:09 " ... There's a story I heard about what happened in Angola on the night of Independence. There was panic ... South African troops and their allies were approaching ... And then at midnight the people went down to the docks and out of the darkness came Cuban troops ..." May Fidelismo continue to bring the light the world!

Fidel Castro is a good man but it never gets talked about in history, Cuba freed South Africa from apartheid, viva Cuba

he's a piece of history....regardless of what he's done

Thank you Amy for great report!

I'm a Non-White South African and because of Cuba, I am now a free person. R.I.P Fidel Castro.

The next generation should pick up the struggle with education. Engineering, and medical training, agriculture should pave the way. We shall be there with time.

Patria o muerte. Venceremos. Hasta la Victoria Siempre.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work so many people don’t know about what Castro do for Africa 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

i wish the media would show this... 2 greats!

Viva Fidel and Cuba

The Democracy Now group has always been Fidel Castro friendly with all their presentations about him for years, and rightfully so, if I may add. With the addition of interviewing Mr. Bill Fletcher made this report a fantastic one. Thumbs way up.

They got a special place in hell for Henry Kissinger

Oh, that's so Madiba, "How dare you not allow me to shower you with love!".

Rip Fidel . The future belongs to you. You truly fought every second against colonialism .

Viva Fidel!!!!! Viva Cuba!!!!!! Land of the great minus the pigs in Florida! A government For the people is a government to be veneer. Fidel will remain forever and ever a PRIME example to those of us in quest of TRUE liberty. Rest in POWER commandante!!

My husband DIRECTLY benefited from Fidel Castro's interruption of the white's rule under the apartheid. My husband was born and raised in South Africa as he is Tswana and he experienced the violence of the apartheid as South Africa just received its "freedom" in 1994. This man went against the "powers that be" and risked his LIFE to be an instrument of freedom for others at the cost of his own. Castro escaped 638 attempts on his life that the U.S. govt tried to carry out. I don't care how ANYONE feels about Castro, HE IS A HERO!! #vivaCastro #RestInPOWER #king

They should ask afro Cubans how the Castro family sees black Cubans

Cubans are descendants of Africans that is why they are more stronger and courageous today. God bless Cuba and Africa.

Rest In Perfect Peace & harmony 🙏🏽 Papa Fidel Castro. May God Embrace you in the highest level in heaven ❤️🌹... You did so much for our Continent🌍 and fought so many wars for Mama Africa . Till this day we have Cuban doctors in my country 🇬🇲. RIP with the Archangels

When are you coming to South Africa ?? Madiba the great

As a Jamaican I will never forget the love and support from brother Fidel. I love this man so much I tattooed him to immortalize him. I thank you for everything you and the Cuban people have done. 🇨🇺✊🏾🇯🇲

If by "invasion" you mean "liberation," then yes. How about those protests for liberation in Cuba?

La Historia Me Absorverá. Fidel Castro Ruz.

WITH OUT Castro racism would still be king in the world today

The video she showed was not the FIRST time Fidel Castro & Nelson Mandela met. They met soon after Nelson Mandela got out of prison back in 1991 and went to Cuba.

thank you Democracy now

Thank You very much!!!

As far as I'm concerned Russia or any other so called modern European or American never want Africa to be independent but, Cuba always remain special place in every Africans hearts forever!! Beautiful people and Visionary leader. Thank you Cuba !!

Je Adore😉❤️

Real talk

| Angola, like Zimbabwe, is no better off now...

6:35 not quite true, it was in fact the other way round, Cuito Cuanavale was a stunning humiliation of the Soviet/Cuban/MPLA forces, and SANDF captured a large amount of Soviet equipment when the Cuban/Soviet/MPLA forces chaotically and hastily retreated, including several Soviet tanks and a fully functioning Sam-8 missile system. The airfield was destroyed by the SANDF, and what remained of the Cuban/Soviet/MPLA forces were pinned down and desperately still defending the defensive perimeters of the town. At the negotiation table between SANDF and Cuba, Cuba requested that they be allowed to withdraw from Angola with their honor intact and that the truth of their humiliating defeat not be revealed to the world, which the SANDF agreed to as a sign of good faith to keep the fragile negotiations in tact. It is due to this fact that the MYTH of the so called "Defeat of the SANDF" got started, and the stories and myth has since just kept spiraling out of control to what is now reported as "fact" in this Democracy Now video. Sadly the battle statistics of losses after the battle (from both side), interviews of those that took part, and some video footage, confirms the SANDF'S version of the battle's outcome. (Also ask yourself, why would they ONLY show SANDF vehicle "retreating" after the battle all intact and working condition, but not a single vehicle from the so called Cuban/Soviet/MPLA "victorious" forces) PS: Don't take the fact that this correction of the real facts is in any way me being on the side of the SANDF. The SANDF was defending an Atrocious Apartheid South African Regime that wanted apartheid to continue. Sadly 90% of the troops in the SANDF was so propagandized by the South African state controlled media, schools, and news outlets, that they did not even realise what they were REALLY fighting for against SWAPO. The war in Namibia/Angola was wrong on so many levels, and I doubt any of those SANDF troops would have continued fighting if they realized what they were actually defending!

I love this footage🥰🥰🥰

Wow, and some people have the audacity to say Castro was a racist.

Cuba did a lot for Africa but don't diminish the role and help from the USSR and other Easter European Communist states.

Fidel castro, Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara! Long live you guys and may God be blessed by the work yall did when yall were among us! I love you brothers, from one of your African brothers in America. 11:38

ON BEHALF OF OUR AFRICAN ANCESTORS, THANKS TO CUBA 🇨🇺AND THE CUBANS!!!

Without any doubt Fidel Castro will live forever...

Hasta siempre Comandante, GRACIAS FIDEL

10:13

Yeah good report, but very risky.

As long as those" independence movements" were comunist

My family went there and the same African they went to help would kill them at night

ISH

That's what Malcolm x was talking about that's the only way you fight against your enemies all that marching and talking peace not going to do anything Castro did the only thing that the USA understand and that's war peace to Castro much love

Look at it today run by criminals and chaos’s wild!

Long live Fidel and Che!

If Cubans dont have a place to stay, they have Africa

The Soviet Union wanted to increase their influence in Africa and sent the Cubans as their dolls in the cold war chess.

As much as I admire mr. Castro and the Cuban people. Angola paid big money to Fidel for military support.

Thats Rhas al ghul

😮

viva cuba and fidel castro you are best friends for us Ethiopians and tanke you very much for all you did for us

speechless. does channel promote democracy? or communism? should be renamed communism now!

The Truth about the ethical values of the Cubans and their action in Africa --- Viva Cuba! Viva Fidel !!!! Viva Humanity ~

Stupid for people to sit here and say that Castro is a hero. The man was a murderer. They don’t know what he did to his own people in Cuba.

While he was supporting some africans he was also raiding another african

He forgot to mention Castro's support for Idi Amin and his close and abiding friendship with the Communist butcher.

Long live brother Castro us Africans will always remember you.

O Fidel what lies the west have told us about u , we will always love u

albania support too with money and other thing in communist era

Viva Mandela, Viva Fidel

always show love for fidel and che fidel always showed to my belove haiti theres one thing the mainstream media wont tell firstly castero was agains their superiority system just think for a second he made sure he put a system in place for each one to have an education here n america u dont see that theres dividisation everywhere anyways rest in peace The Great Fidel our kids will know about u

Long live Fidel!!

Fidel Castro you are my hero r ip Africans can't repay you its hard to accept the fact that you are dead

CASTRO WAS A BIG HELP TO JAMAICA 🇯🇲. HE BUILD SCHOOL, WATER DAMS AND MANY OTHER PROJECTS. HE ASSISTED WITH DOCTORS FOR THE PEOPLE OF JAMAICA 🇯🇲. CUBA HELP OUR AFRICAN BROTHER AND SISTERS WORLDWIDE!!!

*And an INVASION of Somalia

shame on Fidel for minimizing the role of the USSR (and Bulgaria East Germany etc) where the hell do you think ANC cadre were trained? USSR never gets its due--mainly I think in the west for aesthetic reasons. USSR were fat had bad teeth they SAVED Vietnam and pase Fidel they sure helped. Mandela said so OVER and OVER!! and by the way who stood by Cuba in its struggle against US Imperialism? Henri Alleg said that Che warned against romanticizing Cuba cool long hair and those neat berets--without the USSR Cuba would be GONE Vietnam would be GONE and South Africa would still be under the sway of the Racists!! Hell 26 million soviets died so Cuba could become and remain socialist! USSR is gone now how is the struggle doing huh! huh!! Fidel knew better!! He remains the greatest revolutionary hero of my lifetime but he is just out of line here

It is a pity that Castro supported liberation on the African continent but in Cuba 🇨🇺 the Cubans were oppressed.

If Mandela saw what the communist regime has done to Cuba he would be appalled.

¡Viva la Revolución y el Che! ¡Viva el socialismo! ¡Yo soy Fidel! 🇨🇺☭
