Today in Labor History March 23, 1988: Angolan and Cuban forces defeated South Africa in the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. The battle started in August, 1987. In addition to Cubans, volunteers from the USSR, Vietnam, the African National Congress and SWAPO joined the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) in the Angolan Civil War. It was the largest battle in Africa since World War II. Several thousand died on both sides, including citizens of South Africa, Cuba, and the USSR

Years ago when I taught high school in #Coquitlam, the school created a grade 8 elective rotation course called #enrichment. Basically taking the stuff that gifted students would get, give it to everybody, for 6 weeks as they rotated through all the other electives in the school.

That year I was reading a lot about the #landmines in #Angola. And I suggested to the students that hey, what if someone from Angola invented a way to spot metal and ceramic landmines from high in the air.

Die Tür zum Frieden offen halten

Afrikanische Krisendiplomatie ist hart im Nehmen. Da lädt Angola Kongos Regierung und die Rebellenbewegung #M23 (Bewegung des 23. März) überraschend zu sofortigen Direktgesprächen ein, beide Seiten sagen überraschend zu und bestimmen Delegierte – und dann sagt die M23 in allerletzer Minute ab und lässt ihre Delegation zu Hause.
