-Amilcar Cabral (1924-1973) a prominent leader of the African liberation struggle of Guinea-Bissau
Amilcar Cabral, Secretary General of the PAIGC in a seminar on "Lenin and National Liberation" held in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan, the provincial capital of the USSR, in 1970, gave an important statement: "How do we, humans are deprived of everything that lives the crush of misery, then organize opposition and won? The answer was: "This is because the presence of Lenin, because he has fulfilled his vocation as a human being, as a revolutionary hero. Lenin never did and continue, as the winner for excellence in the liberation of mankind. "
Amilcar Cabral was found dead on January 20, 1973 in Conakry, Guinea, after being killed by Innocenta Canida, a traitor thugs Portuguese Colonialists who infiltrated into the movement of people over the past three years.
These words reflect the revolutionary thinking and real work undertaken by a hero during his lifetime, by African revolutionaries at the time, and a passion for the birth of the country's independence and sovereignty of Guinea. That awareness of the theory of scientific revolution, Marxism-Leninism, which he knew from his relationship with the Portuguese Communist Party during school in Lisbon. This understanding coupled with your words and submitted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of South Africa, "a deep understanding of the African revolution by devoting themselves to the true resistance."
By distancing themselves from the dogma, Cabral always shed a primary basis for any of the revolutionaries, the political and ideological firm:
"If this is true, that a revolution could be wrong though based on a theory that the most perfect-but as yet no one has succeeded in a revolution without a revolutionary theory."
Cabral is the main character of action. Born 12 September 1924, at Bafata which later became part of Guinea, a Portuguese colony in West Africa. He spent his youth in Bissau, the capital of the country. Because he came from a well-established position, he can go to school and college at the University of Lisbon, which deliver them to a qualified agricultural engineer in 1951. Upon returning to their hometown for the past two years, the institute devoted Cabral colonial administration as an agricultural expert. This position which paved the way for him to know more closely kemiskian and suffering experienced by the people and the nation.
Used this opportunity to learn about the plight of the poor and on poverty, especially in the country. Experience that makes it even more determined to find a way out and meant that he had to work to liberate his country, and to unite all the people to liberate themselves from enslavement by the invaders. This is of course his behavior angered the government to bring it to the big problems with the colonial government. Cabral then step aside temporarily to Angola.
In 1956 he helped form an important national organization that is now a major force in Angola, the MPLA (People's Liberation Movement of Angola). In the same year he also became one of the founders of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verder Islands (PAIGC), then led until he was killed brutally.
Under its leadership, directing PAIGC local fighters to win independence for Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde islands, forming and leading a people's army to fight the national liberation of Portuguese colonization. Cabral know and understand that the enemy is very strong, therefore every stage of resistance is always prepared with care, and the action is very neatly organized and disciplined.
PAIGC cadres were given political education as combat training and was always taught that "our soldiers are tough, but not brutal soldiers."
Cabral saw that the task of the national liberation movement not only make black people from white snatch and then seek revenge. Nor is it just for a different flag and sang a new national anthem, but to eliminate all forms of exploitation of the people. "The main thing is to focus on the distinctive characters, the real economy in the world, making it a valuable experience until then ready to go in the anti-imperialist struggle, because the actual shape of the national liberation struggle is to fight against the new colonialism".
He, Cabral, very careful in explaining that the shape of human skin color is very different from other forms of exploitation. Repeatedly emphasized that the fight against Portuguese colonialism is not the human resistance against the Portuguese. He explained: "We fight until no more verbal abuse in our country forever. We have sacrificed their lives and humiliated for years, until the time of our nation never again exploited by the colonizers. Not just coincidence by a white man, because we did not bother with the exploitation and the exploiters with a variety of skin tones. We do not want any form of exploitation in our country, even by black people though. "
Since the beginning of the main objectives movements performed Cabral is always directed to fight against Portuguese colonialism. He was an internationalist and saw his nation resistance is merely a part of the struggle against imperialism in the world who "tried to move together to extend the working class in all developed countries and rekindle the fire of national liberation movements in all developing countries."
Legal history of socialist society, have been inseparable and become part of the union anti-colonial forces in the world, for peace, freedom and social justice. It is clearly understood and recognized by Cabral. In a large meeting held in Dar-es-Salaam in 1965, Cabral said:
"It is our duty to stand up here, talking and clear, that we must form a unity in the socialist countries ... since the socialist revolution and during the second world war, has changed the face of the world. A socialist village was born in the world. This has changed radically keberimbangan force in the world, and socialist village today has shown awareness of the true nature of our tasks, international and historic. But not morally, since the people of socialist countries are no longer exploited by the occupiers. "
He has a very close association with the Soviet Union which he visited on numerous occasions and contributed greatly to introduce and strengthen friendship and cooperation between the people of Guinea-Bissau with the Soviet Union, and the PAIGC with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Speaking on behalf of the PAIGC leaders and delegates at the meeting in the Kremlin at the 50th anniversary of the founding of the USSR, Cabral said: "Our presence on this occasion, we would like to express on behalf of the people of our desire to be a close relative of the Soviet people. Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the Central Committee of the assistance given to us to be able to raise the struggle against the Portuguese colonialists, against the form of war and destruction on other nations, for freedom, peace and progress of our African homeland ".
Killer bullets pierced through Africa's great leaders tear down while preparing to attend a meeting of national representatives at the beginning of the year to establish laws and a new declaration of independence of a sovereign state, country Guinea. sly and cowardly acts orchestrated by Portuguese colonists through the evil plans with the goal of creating a mess and disruption to the PAIGC, and want the split between the national liberation movement of South Africa.
History provides the answer Cabral confidence, and also showed that the triad is the devil colonialist Caetano, Smith and Vorster was not able to stop and stem the advance of the brave resistance, steel guerrillas and freedom fighters a respite from Guinea-Bissau, Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and South Africa in a noble struggle for freedom all over South Africa from colonialism to national, racial, economic, political and social.
