The end of Apartheid in South Africa

In March 1988, concerning the battle of Cuito Cuanavale (Southern Angola), the U.S. Defence Intelligence agency conceded that the Cubans had “complete air superiority”. The South Africans were losing the war in Angola, which led to the accords signed on 22 December 1988 at the United Nations in New York by the Foreign ministers of Angola, Cuba and the Republic of South Africa. As a consequence South West Africa (Namibia) and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) would gain independence, Mandela was freed and the apartheid in South Africa came to its end.

Our personal (Jan & Pepa's) involvement with Angola started when we lived there, at the time of decolonisation and independence in 1974.

Gamal Abdel Nasser

Gamal Abdel Nasser led the 1952 overthrow of the monarchy and introduced far-reaching land reforms the following year. He was formally elected president of Egypt in June 1956. Nasser's popularity in the Arab world skyrocketed after his nationalization of the Suez Canal and his political victory in the subsequent Suez Crisis. Calls for pan-Arab unity under his leadership increased, culminating with the formation of the United Arab Republic with Syria from 1958 to 1961 Following Egypt's defeat by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, Nasser resigned, but he returned to office after popular demonstrations called for his reinstatement . Nasser suffered a heart attack and died in 1970.
