Cuba and African liberation

In the current episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we explore the deep and often overlooked ties between Cuba and Africa during the continent’s liberation struggles. From Che Guevara’s military campaigns in the Congo to Cuba’s pivotal role in Angola’s fight against apartheid South Africa, we uncover how a small Caribbean nation became a key ally in Africa’s anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements.

Cuba and African liberation
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
