Reality

"Long live comrade Fidel Castro.  Cuban internationalists have done so much for African independence, African freedom, African justice.  We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of a vicious imperialist campaign designed to destroy the advances of the Cuban revolution….The Cuban revolution has been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people." 

"If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.  They don't care for human beings." 

"People of Asia and Africa have seen through the slanderous campaign conducted by the USA against the socialist countries.  They know that their independence is threatened not by any of the countries in the socialist camp, but by the USA, who has surrounded their continent with military bases.  The communist bogey is an American stunt to distract the attention of the people of Africa from the real issue facing them, namely American imperialism."

"There's one place where Fidel Castro's Cuba stands out head and shoulders above the rest, and that is in its love for human rights and liberty."
