CASTRO ON AFRICAN SACRIFICE

Cuban leader Fidel Castro was a key figure in the fight against apartheid, colonialism and exploitation in Africa. He sent troops to fight for the independence of African counties (especially Angola, in its struggle against South African regime forces), as well as doctors, engineers and teachers.

In this clip, he speaks about the long history of immense sacrifice that the people of the Global South - and of Africa in particular - have had to make over the last half millennium. He seems to suggest sacrifice is not something we should shy away from if the ultimate goal is our freedom.

Is that a message that speaks to you?
