Here it IS folks, Cuba in Africa.

Cuba has been in Africa before,

and I'm reading a fiction book by WEB Griffin set in 1964 about this kind of thing. weird... the other book I'm reading is about international kidnapping called RANSOM

Goodbye to all that.

With Castro and Khadafy in Zimbabwe and Mandella, a communist, being hailed a near God,
I don't think Fidel and Raul Castro's communist designs on Africa (not to mention the Americas) are over.

Good golly! Where to start?

The above numbers don't include deaths caused by Batista regime, documented by Armando Lago at 2,500, of which 2,200 are deaths in military battles in the Sierra Maestra, mostly soldiers, and 300 were murdered by Batista security forces.
To put these numbers into some context, note that all deaths reported during the entire Pinochet regime in Chile totaled no more than 3,100, a figure which includes the disappeared.
Nota Bene: Following the journalistic code of reporting by the Voice of America (VOA), two independent sources are used to confirm report of incident.

Lest we forget, this list is a few years old, you can increase it by the number of deaths in the Straits (The Killing Waters), by the number of deaths in the Tugboat 13 de Marzo Massacre, and the murdered Brothers to the Rescue pilots.
