Rotimi47: Yoruba descendants in Cuba & Brazil are a minority in these nations. Infact, Black people as a whole are an impoverished minority in these latin American nations, so never you expect the white controlled government and bureaucracy to be involved in African ethnic wars. |

Nowenuse:Military history of Cuba Read in another language Watch this page Edit The Military history of Cuba begins with the island's conquest by the Spanish and its battles afterward to gain its independence. Since the Communist takeover by Fidel Castro in 1959, Cuba has been involved with many major conflicts of the Cold War in Africa and Latin America where it had supported Marxist governments and rebels from liberation movements who were opposed to their colonial masters and/or allies of the United States. Colonial period (1511–1902) Early republic (1902–1959) Post-revolution Cuba (1959–present) Edit Bay of Pigs Invasion Edit Main article: Bay of Pigs Invasion The Bay of Pigs Invasion (known as La Batalla de Girón in Cuba), was an unsuccessful attempt by a U.S.-trained force of Cuban exiles to invade southern Cuba with support from U.S. armed forces to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. The plan was launched in April 1961, less than three months after John F. Kennedy assumed the presidency in the United States. The Cuban armed forces, trained and equipped by Eastern Bloc nations, defeated the exile combatants in three days. Bad Cuban-American relations were exacerbated the following year by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Cuban Missile Crisis Edit A reconnaissance photo of Cuba, showing Soviet nuclear missiles with their maintenance equipment. Their disco acted as a catalyst for the Cuban Missile Crisis. Main article: Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis (October Crisis in Cuba) was a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over nuclear missiles that were deployed in Cuba and Turkey. The Russian missiles were placed both to protect Cuba from further attacks by the United States after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, and in response to the U.S. deploying Thor missiles with nuclear warheads on the Soviet border in Turkey. The situation reached the crisis point when U.S. reconnaissance imagery revealed Soviet nuclear missile installations on the island, and ended fourteen days later when the Americans and Soviets each agreed to dismantle their installations, and the Americans agreed not to invade Cuba again. Congo Crisis Edit The Congo Crisis was a period of turmoil in the Congo that began with national independence from Belgium and ended with the seizing of power by Joseph Mobutu. During the Congo Crisis, Cuban Expedition led by Che Guevara trained Marxist Rebels to fight against the weak central government of Joseph Kasa-Vubu along with the forces of Mobutu Sese Seko. This would be the Cuba's first military action overseas and in Africa. Bolivia Insurgency Edit Guevara shortly before his death in Bolivia. During the 1960s, Cuba began to support a Communist insurgency in the country. During the 1960s, the National Liberation Army began a Communist insurgency in Bolivia. The National Liberation Army was established and funded by Cuba and led by Che Guevara. The National Liberation Army was defeated and Che Guevara was captured by the Bolivia government aided by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Bolivian Special Forces were informed of the location of Guevara's guerrilla encampment. On October 8, the encampment was encircled, and Guevara was captured and later executed by Bolivian forces. Eritrean War Edit Main article: Eritrean War of Independence Cubans trained Eritreans but later, in a political reversal, trained Ethiopian Marxist forces who were fighting against Eritreans. Yom Kippur War Edit The Yom Kippur War was the fifth major conflict between Israel and the neighboring Arab States. Cuba deployed 1,500 troops, including tank and helicopter crews, to support the Arabs during the war. Precise Cuban casualty numbers are unknown.[1] Ogaden War Edit The Ogaden War was a conflict between Somalia and Ethiopia between 1977 and 1978. Fighting erupted in the Ogaden region as Somalia attempted to liberate the area. The conflict ended with a Somali retreat. When the Soviet Union began to support the Ethiopian Derg government instead of the Somali government, other Communist nations followed. The Cuban Military deployed 15,000 combat troops along with aircraft to support the Derg government and the USSR military advisors in the region. Cuban intervention in Angola Edit A Cuban PT-76 performing routine security duties in Angola during the Cuban intervention into the country. Main article: Cuban intervention in Angola Between 1961 until 2002, the Cuban Military provided support for the left wing MPLA movement in a series of civil wars. During these conflicts the MPLA emerged victorious due in part to the substantial aid received from Cuba. The Angolan War of Independence was a struggle for control of Angola between guerilla movements and Portuguese colonial authority. Cuba supplied the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) rebels with weapons and soldiers to fight. Cuban military would fight alongside the MPLA in major battles. The Angolan Civil War was a 27-year civil war that devastated Angola following the end of Portuguese colonial rule in 1974. The conflict was fought by the MPLA against UNITA and the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA). MPLA was aided by Cuba and the Soviet Union, and UNITA and FNLA were supported by South Africa, United States and Zaire. It became Africa's longest running conflict. The conflict was only formally brought to an end in 2002 with the death of UNITA-Leader Jonas Savimbi. South African Border War Edit The so-called South African Border War was a conflict that took place in South-West Africa (Today independent nation of Namibia) between the Apartheid-era South African Defence Forces and its allied National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) against the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) and the Angolan MPLA. During the conflict, Cuba sent soldiers to aid Angola in its own civil war. The Cuban army had a major involvement in some of the most important battles including Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. Invasion of Grenada Edit A war memorial to commemorate Cuban soldiers killed during the United States invasion of Grenada. 722 Cuban soldiers were deployed in Grenada During the Invasion of Grenada by U.S. troops in 1983. The Cuban government sent these troops there to support the leftist government of the country. Cuban losses during the conflict were 25 killed, 59 wounded, and 638 captured. In 2008, the Government of Grenada announced a move to build a monument to honor the Cubans killed during the invasion by Genelle Figuroa. At the time of the announcement the Cuban and Grenadian government are still seeking to locate a suitable site for the monument. Salvadoran Civil War Edit The Salvadoran Civil War was fought by the El Salvador government against various left-wing rebels. Cuba supplied the rebels with weapons and advisors. Nicaraguan Civil War Edit During the Sandinista revolution and the following Civil War, Cuba gave aid and support to the Sandinista government of Daniel Ortega. The Sandinista government was fighting the American backed rebels (aka) Contras. The conflict ended with the 1990 presidential election where Ortega lost to Violeta Barrios de Chamorro.

7lives: Wow!! Great piece of history. It needs to be documented in books, and relayed through films. Balogun Agoro should be given his rightful place, in history. In fact, further reading about the bombardment of Lagos in 1851, shows that the expedition launched by the British Naval forces under Commander Forbes, was an attack party made up of 306 officers, men, marines and sailors aboard HMS Bloodhound along with 21 boats. Though Bloodhound sustained heavy canon fire from the shore, a landing party went ashore but met very stiff resistance. Kosoko was able to hold his ground and repel them. By the time the British forces came back a 2nd time in December 1851, they had reinforced their attack party, with 3 more armed boats. Yet, Kosoko was still able to hold them at bay for 3 fierce days, before his army caved in. That battle is referred to as "Ogun Ahoyaya/Ogun Agidingbi" (I hope I got the spelling right). Captain Jones led the attack party consisting HMS Bloodhound, HMS Teaser, a flotilla of boats including The Victoria and The Harlequien equipped with overwhelming fighting power engaged Kosoko in a battle lasting three days. 2 Likes |

Not only that, the civil war ended and he still couldn't show his face in Nigeria, until emissaries were sent to beg the federal govt to pardon him. Na wa, o!

longestey:Sometimes when you launch an attack against Fulani herdsmen in retaliation, do you know that they become invisible? On 17th Sept 2018, a community in Ukwa East LGA Abia State called Akwete was raided by Fulani herdsmen, many were killed, scores injured and four girls were raped.. When we the villagers rose up against them, before my very eyes, I mean before my korokoro eyes, a Fulani herdsman turned to a cow and jumped over the fence..imagine a cow jumping a fence. We had no option than to throw our weapons away and run... It didn't stop at that; Report from other group said that they surrounded the herdsmen, and before their very eyes, these Fulani herdsmen disappeared, only their bags, knives and daggers were visible. That wasn't the end.. When Fulani herdsmen invaded Obohia Ndoki(A village in same Ukwa East LGA close to Akwete), and destroyed our farmlands, the villagers rose at night and head straight to their base; when we broke into their house, every of their properties were there, but the herdsmen disappeared... Some of you might say that the ran away before we came...But that's not true; we monitored them till they went inside their house before our people were alerted... Now what I'm I trying to say? The Fulani herdsmen operate with traditional powers which make them invisible whenever they are in danger... Now, come to Akwete and Obohia Ndoki, Fulani herdsmen now operate freely, destroying our farmlands and properties.. Our people must understand that going into war with these herdsmen is not enough, but we must also know what to do to neutralize these their traditional powers they use in becoming invisible. 3 Likes |

Most African Americans did not bother about their identity until Alex Haley's voyage of reunion to Gambia. If Kunta Kinte did not hammered it into his daughter's head that his origin is Gambi Bolongo " Gambia River ", there would never have been a reunion, between Kunta Kinte's children and his people in Gambia, after almost 350 years. Or if the people of Gambi Bolongo, did not have a village Griots, who were the custodians of the families and the village history, would Alex Haley ever meet his great grand father's family?.

gidgiddy:I don't know about the Yoruba men you are talking about, but the ones I have seen will devise a strategy to get even with their enemies, without ever having to fight. That is true wisdom. Fighting often results, when the principal parties lack wisdom, foresight and strategy to end a conflict. Fear those who can inflict maximum damage on you, without firing a shot, or engaging in physical battles with you. It is a testament to Ojukwu's eternal shame, that he was bereft of wisdom that he could have deployed to prevent the war, and yet he went ahead to lose over 3 million people in the war and still ran away instead of protecting them to the end.

There are things that Yorubas are good at, rising up to fight Nigeria for their sovereignty like Igbos once did is beyond Yorubas. They are simply not made of that stuff. That's why they keep saying that Ojukwu ran away, to divert attention from the fact that 0jukwu did what no Yoruba man can ever do. To rise up and declare the independence and sovereignty of his people and fight Nigeria for for 3 years to keep it is no small feat. A Yoruba can never ever do it.

They may have one or two commanders like Adekunle and Obasanjo but that's about it. But as a nation, Yorubas dont have the stuff required to rise up and fight. It is Igbos that can rise up, declare their independence and sovereignty as Biafrans, take up arms and rally behind Ojukwu to fight for 3 years to keep that sovereignty That is the stuff of fighters That is something the Yoruba nation can never do in a thousand years, to fight and defend their sovereignty But if it is to defend noise making, I can give them that one 1 Like |
