Opinion | Castro was a false liberator In South Africa, Cuba fought apartheid. In the rest of the continent, Fidelโ€™s best friend was an Ethiopian tyrant.

Moscow was seeking to secure naval access in the Red Sea, and military bases in Ethiopia. Fidel and Raul Castro sent 17,000 Cuban forces in 1977 to Ethiopia to assist Mengistu Haile Mariam break opposition resolve in a genocide.

Cuba defends Russian imperialism The government of Cuba, which calls itself socialist, has essentially backed Russia in the Ukraine conflict.

However, when it came to Russian imperialism over the past 60 years, Havana took it to the next level. They are still aiding and abetting Moscowโ€™s colonial and neo-colonial ventures carrying out atrocities that rise to the level of genocide. workersliberty.org/story/2022-0... 5/16
