HAVANA, Cuba, August 10 (ACN) In a post on X, Roberto Morales Ojeda, Secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, recalled the victory achieved at Cangamba and called it an example of heroism and resistance.
“The best virtues of our people flourished in this battle thousands of miles from the homeland”, he wrote in his message describing the feat as a military milestone that set standards in the war of Angola.
In those days, Cubans and Angolans alike managed to prevail over the invaders and break their siege with key support provided by combat pilots and special troops.
"May Cangamba be an everlasting symbol of the valor of Cubans and Angolans and a testimony that the blood they shed for the freedom and dignity of Africa was not in vain," Commander in Chief Fidel Castro stressed in a letter to Cuban combatants on August 7, 1983, a few days before the battle of Cangamba.
