have the charge our duty to humanity look he's saying yo the 15 years [Applause] GZ on you 15 years the champion for 15 years we were there fighting apartheid fighting racism till the very end what were they doing with us they said that we had to be imposed a blockade and they were doing that they said because we were given assistance to that country because we were fighting the South Africa and racism but that is a very interesting story you know something that will want a revision have to be written of briefly one of the most existence of discrimination racism was the one that existed there in that country in South Africa the annulus of years after the end of fascism and Naziism King Umberto that situation existed there we're not however not much is talked today about that you know we know that history very well we know it very well so that figure was not located [Applause] Nolen billion Mon frère Lehman South Africa was not prevented from purchasing food and medicines yell paella Chavarria coming and the country that was ironically fighting against the racist was not sold one medicine ravine one aspirin only cheap but once it was sad for a cancer patient that was the punishment is doing wonderfully today everybody's happy or cachaca were la paura because the aperture is finished everybody's happy por que dependen i mean because the independence of Namibia was attained Dora full moons but there was a table struggle in a million fine Amelia Angolan one and Cubans they had to fight very hard [Applause] but I could pay pay an idea for you to have an idea our lips were close to the south african border a powerful country a very wealthy country South Africa Ultraman is unique in Roman and we were over 10,000 kilometers away I mean Cuba really sure we were still keeping up that fight 10,000 kilometers away from our territory of course that was not an easy task every time the Angola started an offensive move Rafi the South Africans came over and put them back and we said to the Soviets where the advisors to the Angolan headquarters even those offensives were wrong they couldn't do that yeah if they were not able to prevent the South Africans from attacking them it was useless to conduct those offensives if you not intending but they did not pay attention attacking they did not understand that field that was a moment when a very serious crisis was created a moment when the war was practically lost and then we the Cubans we had to solve the problem in the army envy amo mucho la maestra mejora haneda we spent many of our best ambitions hi laguna planes and we said to them we are going to prevent the south africans when we arrived there there was a great it was when they quit upon a valley battle took place correct wonderful memories in yoruba and go register means you know how many troops key was sent to angola that moment when teaching three to five thousand troops one obvious he will bury a pole and all of them on voluntary basis for granted that's the most important thing of all [Music] in with the Wallaces to the University and in quit wanna valid the racist could not we are they wanted to have the battle to the east in a difficult place yeah Pam but there will a a trap for them we lay in driving down against which they clash because you're their quitter wanna volley became a symbol yeah this is area we sent the necessary forces Farrah Reyna to stop the South Africans identity and to force them to beat warrant a meal well we both forty thousand Cuban troops a mutual dollar I'm twenty thousand Angolan troops I feel to the way to the southwest I mean Saturn to threaten them on the other side and a heavy boat nothing to stop the South African army from trying some different so we were able to create the necessary balance of power simply to stop them and to attain victory implementation of resolution 3 4 inches 0.35 and at the end to put an end to apartheid that was my contribution to the joy of the South African people [Applause] therefore Luciani movies you know at the United Nations at the United Nations they don't speak about that we have heard a great number of species yeah well now reach up low the yelling the peoples talk about the independence they applauded the independence of the African countries over it would seem that that was the work and miracle of the United Nations della paura he talks about the end of a party oh I mean I like the work of miracle of the United Nations no no no come here there was no mention about one Cuba the being of the baby Cubans who died there Moreira Coover the name of Cuba was not even mentioned in Mauritius so look how sometimes separating the equivalent Toria people intend to write history forgetting reality [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Inari Oh but what is it the most extraordinary about this Africa's heavy economy it is that South Africa had become potentially a nuclear power by then is no so true and we knew it we even deployed our voices in such a way [Music] that we were taken into account of South Africa vania had nuclear warheads no the right of the matter was whether they would be dropping who were they going to use the the weapon against is appropriate where inside South Africa no sympathy assassinate enough for the hate parties could not sustain even if they had a nuclear weapon leave but a book has just been published where they say that in South Africa this at that time we had tens of nuclear weapons at the time yeah they even had nuclear grenades they had a respectable amount of nuclear warheads it has been described in detail American research made by American journalists African and South African journalists and that was a situation a long time some did anyone protest Picasso signor evocative Africa the nietzermann was perhaps ignored that South Africa had the nuclear weapons at that time why was it that nobody said a word about that okay no who knows I mean why was it that there was not a denunciation of us so that we could have in a nuclear weapon c'mon why because the Cubans were fighting there John Doe the Cubans were the ones fighting the South Africans their South African races noeleen for currently some did not care whether the South Africans but usually are the nuclear bomb the Cuban and I'm golden joy there is that history to the region young de profundis and more repairs should be made about that according to a theory of these journalists and researchers fascist racist groups in South Africa and boggle have been able to keep some of those weapons that they have and they have them onto their control right now clearly thoria so that is history you see that is the way international relations work Mena countries look at history certain allies can manufacture as many nuclear weapons as they want nobody cares if any other country category it was the case of Maria Jericho people say that they wanted to manufacture a nuclear bomb nobody knows with which resources they were going to do it anyway great scandal was made he said racist South Africa the South Africa but partake would help us many cancer as many nuclear weapons that you wanted it was allowed to have access to the nuclear energy it was allowed to have as many nuclear weapons as it wanted for days that's why when talking about the history of these years of revolution I think that one of the most Maori dangers and Rigby pages written by Cubans review nation was the one written in that struggle against the racism and apartheid in South Africa well another may view and then a median for Rohan Golan and then I and II Angolans but solo and outside for those two countries only Cuba was involved only Cuba sheriff generous broader counter against apartheid and against racism [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I face the separation of mother Enfamil persona this apology there are countries where more than 20,000 people are amazing raw America there is a country in Central America what Amala domestic yeah we're over 1,000 100,000 people are amazing sizzling but you medicine area and that comes from the days of the invasion against us you don't mean to fight a democratic government there and I do not want to mention all the countries but thousands of people have disappeared into custody in Latin America imagine that has never happened in Cuba to fight for your PR fever yeah none of those countries has been located however cube is still on to the blockade Solaria and that is the reality that is historical reality and we are against every blockade anyway blockades goes against the people I guess men women and children already I give to you and the old Alleluia it kills those people it makes a okay what you do do but no blocade has been a job and a rigorous as the blockade against Cuba okay boys who I think it is not fair it's a fun to use blockade as a weapon against really country it is not logical contrary because those are weapons against the people I guess ordinary people Hey no kidding 4k which ours is they're getting enough revenue Kyary there is no reason people want to have it yes we agree all the nuclear weapons should be removed but what is the blockade as we were saying today at the United Nations not matter if not like a feeling I know it's with atom bomb amantha which kills people which gives the people which give their children which killed there is no justification for a blockade female even if I have overextended in my fish it is not because I had the idea [Applause] wendy'll idea I have spoken them along because I wanted to meditate with you I wanted to think with you about some of these matters they there with which I justified the idea that we have always been loyal I want to bring faithful to our principles and that you with your gesture emotion and second authority of receiving us here tonight recognize our loyalty to our principles again Harley here in Harlem Malcolm X I met [Music] [Applause] and I'm really fish those were difficult days she fishes well we always are in difficult days yeah reported but we had a head a very hard struggle the great battles of Martin Luther King were still to take place he struggled for the civil rights and the great struggles by the far Anika the black American Hispanics the Latin Americans to improve their living conditions struggle by the elders but the thick shape I mean I know

do away with every assistance to the thick to the elder they would like to do away with the affirmative actions they would like to sweep away all the great achievements that the American people the ordinary humble people of America have attained in all these years well I just make a brief reference to this European re and I hope nobody would contest me for that about 1000 hours of person from

conviction that I did not have the privilege the receive of receiving insulted a so I became a priest in a different cost a cost that I believe though it cost that has no competition a cost that has

My perception of him had always been heavily painted by my diet of American propaganda. Glad I’m more educated now.
