Thanking Obama for releasing criminals... interesting?! Whilst welcoming the outcomes of our own General Elections earlier this year, the ANC has also been heartened by the victories of Africa’s liberation movements across the continent. Regardless of the onslaught from local and foreign forces to weaken liberation movements within the region, SWAPO of Namibia, FRELIMO of Mozambique and CCM of Tanzania reaffirmed the unwavering belief our people have in the liberation movements to complete the work of the rebuilding of Africa. This bodes well for our collective vision of progressive internationalism which continues to gain momentum through amongst others the recent release of the Cuban 5 by the US. This decision is a culmination of years of campaigning and petitioning of the U.S. authorities demanding the release of the Cuban Five and the normalization of relations between the U.S. and Cuba. The ANC commends President Barack Obama for being the President of the US who took this bold move following more than 50 years of strained relations between the two countries. - exposingblacktruth.org/anc-year-end-statement-advancing-the-ideals-of-the-freedom-charter/
