The Cuban people hold a special place in the hearts of the people of Africa. Speech at a Rally in Cuba (1991)
We too are also inspired by the life and example of Jose Marti, who is not only a Cuban and Latin American hero but justly honoured by all who struggle to be free. Speech at a Rally in Cuba (1991)
