「台灣古巴後援會籌備中」，第95期通訊，2008年7月19日。
一，今（19）日台北中國時報整版刊載南非前總統曼德拉90歲的相關新聞，可惜未提及古巴在南非種族隔離政策崩解過程，曾經做出的積極貢獻。若有後援會朋友能就此撰文，懇請通知編輯部，謝謝，現先附上左列書影及簡介，請您參考。
"We will ensure
that sooner rather than later the poor and the rightless will rule the land of
their birth." (Nelson Mandela)
"Where did
injustice and inequality come from? Where did povery and underdevelopment come
from? Where doid all these calamities come from, if not from capitalism?"
(Fidel Castro)
On July 26, 1991, Nelson
Mandela and Fidel Castro spoke together at a rally of tens of thousands in Matanzas, Cuba.
This book contains their speeches at that historic event.
"There can be no
greater cause in our era," Castro says, "than the
one headed by the
ANC." In Mandela's words, the role of Cuban internationalist volunteers in
defeating South Africa's
invasion of Angola
was an "unparalleled contribution to African independence, freedom, and
justice."
The struggles being
waged by the people of South Africa
and Cuba
are today the most important examples for those everywhere seeking to rid the
earth of racism and exploitation. Mandela and Castro explain why. ISBN 13: 9780873487290 | ISBN 10:
087348729x
極端反古巴的人，曾經有以下引述：
In October 1995, Mandela held a
"solidarity conference" between Cuba
and South Africa in Durban where he said:
I went to Cuba
in July 1991, and I drove through the streets with Fidel Castro. There were a
great deal of cheers. And I also waved back believing that these cheers were
for me. Fidel was very humble; he smiled
but he never said a word. But when I
reached the square where I had to make some remarks to the crowd, then I
realized that these cheers were not meant for me, they were meant for Fidel
Castro. Because everybody forgot about me, and was really aroused by Fidel
Castro. Then I realized that here was a
man of the masses.

二，古巴進行土改增加糧食產量
經營有成的古巴私營農場主最多可以向國家申請99英畝的農地，租期10年並且可延長其租約。

古巴希望以土改減少仰賴價昂的進口糧食
|
古巴釋出國有農地供私人經營農場的目的是希望借此增加該國糧食生產。
古巴領導人勞爾﹒卡斯特羅將減少價昂的進口糧食視為國家安全優先問題。
雖然古巴1959年革命之後，仍然允許經營小規
模的家庭農場，但是該國絕大部份農地還是在
國營企業的控制之下。
但是這種做法的效率不彰，古巴半數的農地荒廢，如今古巴所需糧食的半數以上需要仰賴進口。
以今年而言，國際糧價上漲，古巴糧食進口金額也增加了10億美元。總統發佈的行政命令說，合作社可以申請更多的土地，但是沒有指明合作社可申請多少額外的土地。
不過行政命令也說，審批核準的土地使用權不得轉讓給他人。根據行政命令，原先並未擁有土地者，最高可以申請租用33英畝的農地。
而原本就是地主或者是農民則可以申請租用最高達99英畝的土地。總統行政命令解釋說，由於多種不同原因，所以相當數額的國有土地荒廢，必須交由個人或團體利用。
命令說，以此種做法來增加糧食產量並且減少糧食進口。命令也特別指出，租用者必須支付稅金。
三〈奧運〉
卡斯楚：有錢有勢的國家逼死了奧運棒球

古巴前領導人卡斯楚今天說，奧運裡面有錢、有勢的國家，扼殺了奧運棒球賽。奧運棒球賽預定從下一屆，也就是2012年起取消。卡斯楚還說，古巴最近雖然輸給了美國兩場球，但是，古巴在北京奧運還是有奪金的機會。
卡斯楚已經高齡81了。最近因病退居第二線，這一陣子都靠寫短文跟外界溝通。他最新一篇短文提到了古巴星期天在第二十四屆「哈連」盃以一比四輸給了美國的事。他說，這場球打輸了，球迷氣炸了。而古巴在去年底的世界盃棒球賽也輸給了美國。
卡斯楚雖然說古巴棒球會在奧運奪冠，但是也說，古巴隊到北京去比賽可能會因為時差影響表現。
棒球列入奧運正式比賽一共辦過四屆，古巴拿過三個金牌。只有兩千年那一屆拿了一面銀牌，兩千年雪梨奧運是由美國獲得金牌。
