Chetequera March 1976


'We start training next month, by the beginning of the rainy season you will have ample supplies of weapons and ammunition and we'll be in a postion to overwhelm the Boers.'

'They know that with the victory here in Angola that the liberation movement will intensify its efforts across the border. We can expect an elevated state of readiness on the part of their security froces, they won't give up wihout a fight.'

'We'll use the winter to put all cadre through a programme that will prepare them for an intensified struggle. Our Cuban comrades will provide instruction and we've been promised that shipments of Czech manufactured small arms and ammunition will  begin to arrive via Luanda from April. The first batch left Constanta last week.'

'The new recruits should start arriving next week, they need to begin basic training immediately. Our Cuban comrades arrive the week after next - I want them to see that we're not completely incompetent...'

'Any questions?'

'Of course comrade,  I appreciate your question. I am confident that together with the support of our brothers and comrades from across the Atlantic and with the new weapons that our fraternal comrades from the north are sending us we will strike a decisive blow against the racists.'

    1. Thanks, real life (and the English Civil War...) has been getting in the way lately but I think SWAPO will be launching attacks across the border fairly soon now.

    2. You're welcome and I've nominated you for a Liebster Award, so that's something else to add to your burdens...

  2. Thank you Jim, much appreciated. Flattered I'm sure - do I have to do anything?

    1. You don't have to... but ideally you make a post, mention who nominated you, link to five blogs which you feel people should be looking at (of less than 200 followers) and of course let those people know, as I did here.

      With the amount of blogs about, it's a good way of highlighting the wheat from the chaff and paying forward the attention your blog receives (hopefully) as a result of being nominated.
