Kwesi Quartey is in Havana, Cuba for a four day official visit. On arrival, the Deputy Chairperson visited Fidel Castro's mausoleum in Santiago de Cuba city, for a wreath laying and remembrance ceremony, to pay respects to the legendary revolutionary leader. He also signed the condolences book. Amb. Kwesi hailed Castro’s support to Africa during the liberation movements in the continent reiterating the deep-seated historical ties between the African Union and Cuba. In the formative years of Africa’s liberation, Castro met Africa’s celebrated leaders such as Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Patrice Lumumba of Congo, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Sam Nujoma of Namibia and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. “Castro’s legacy will be cherished in our hearts for generations to come following the solidarity and generosity he extended to Africa during the anti-colonial struggles and post-colonial era,” he stated. Cuba reliably supported the liberation struggles in countries such as Angola, South Africa and Ethiopia and has continued to offer Cuban troops to serve in several African states. Further, the Deputy Chairperson, while expressing gratitude to Cuba for the existing cooperation and assistance in several African states, particularly in the education and health sectors, highlighted Cuba as an enviable model to follow in terms of investments in the people.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • REVIEW ESSAY Patrice Lumumba: the Evolution of an Évolué
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 16, Issue 2 | March 2016 REVIEW ESSAY Patrice Lumumba: The Evolution of an Évolué CHRISTOPHER R. COOK Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja. 2014. Patrice Lumumba. Athens, OH: Ohio University Press. 164 pp. Leo Zeilig. 2015. Patrice Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader. London: Hause Publishing. 182 pp. Patrice Lumumba remains an inspirational figure to Congolese and peoples across the developing world for his powerful articulation of economic and political self- determination. But who was the real Lumumba? There are competing myths: for the left he was a messianic messenger of Pan-Africanism; for the right he was angry, unstable and a Communist. He did not leave behind an extensive body of writings to sift through, ponder or analyze. The official canon of his work is short and includes such items as his June 30, 1960 Independence Day speech and the last letter to his wife shortly before his execution. The Patrice Lumumba, the one celebrated in Raoul Peck’s film Lumumba, la mort d’un prophéte does not start to find his own voice until his attendance at the December 1958 First All Africans Peoples’ Conference which leaves him only tenty- five months on the world stage before his death at the age of thirty-five. While there have been other biographies and works on his life, much of it is now out of print or not available in English, Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja’s Patrice Lumumba and Leo Zeilig’s Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader have attempted to fill in this biographical vacuum with sympathetic, accessible, and highly readable introductory texts.
